AbstractBeing physically active is an indispensable condition for health and quality of life. In addition,  literature has presented promising studies on muscle power associations with other parameters of health-related physical fitness. However, there is still little evidence to assess the level of physical activity and muscle power. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the level of physical activity and muscular power of physical education students of a course in Rio de Janeiro. In order to reach the proposed goal, 37 physical education students of both sexes, with a mean age of 26.13 years, participated in responding  the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and performing the horizontal impulse jump test for muscular power. As a result, it was observed that 86% of men were classified as very active and active. For women, 63,63% were identified as very active and active. For power, mean values of 2.02 ± 0.16 for men and 1.48 ± 0.27 for women were obtained. Therefore, it was concluded that both males and females are physically active, although males represent a greater quantitative muscle power, which is largely inferior to previously published studies. Keywords: Muscle Strength.

Além disso, a literatura tem apresentado estudos promissores sobre as associações da potência muscular com outros parâmetros da aptidão física relacionada à saúde. No entanto, ainda são poucas as evidências que buscaram avaliar nível de atividade física e potência muscular. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o nível de atividade física e a potência muscular de estudantes de educação física de um curso no Rio de Janeiro. Para atingir ao objetivo proposto 37 estudantes de educação física, de ambos os sexos, com média de idade de 26,13 anos participaram ao responder ao Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e executar o teste de salto de impulsão horizontal para potência muscular. Como resultado, foi observado que 86% dos homens foram classificados como muito ativos e ativos. Já para mulheres 63,63% foram identificadas como muito ativas e ativas. Para potência obteve-se os valores de média de 2,02 ± 0,16 para homens e 1,48 ± 0,27 para mulheres. Portanto, concluiu-se que tanto o sexo masculino quanto o feminino são ativos fisicamente, embora os homens representem um maior quantitativo a potência muscular mostrou-se inferior, em grande parte, aos estudos anteriormente publicados. Palavras-chave: Força Muscular.

A prática de exercícios é aceita como uma importante ferramenta no que tange seu impacto em relação à melhora do rendimento físicoesportivo, bem como na saúde da população. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar possíveis correlações entre o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2máx), potência muscular (ImpHoriz) e o índice de massa corporal (IMC) em estudantes de Educação Física. Dezesseis estudantes de Educação Física de uma faculdade particular localizada na zona oeste do Rio de Janeiro, de ambos os sexos, foram recrutados para o presente estudo. Os participantes realizaram três testes, durante três dias não consecutivos, com intervalo de 48 horas entre eles. Durante o primeiro dia de teste, medição da massa corporal total e altura foram realizadas para posterior cálculo do índice de massa corporal, o segundo dia de teste consistiu na avaliação da capacidade cardiorrespiratória e terceiro dia de teste consistiu na avaliação de força de membros inferiores. Como resultado, não foram encontradas boa correlação entre IMC e VO2máx (r = -0,168) e ImpHoriz (r = 0,242). Em contrapartida, foi observada boa correlação entre ImpHoriz e VO2máx (r = 0,801). Conclui-se que o IMC está diretamente relacionado com a potência muscular. Entretanto, em indivíduos fisicamente ativos esse fator parece não influenciar.Palavras-chave: Atividade Física.

The purpose of the present study was to verify possible correlations among maximal oxygen consumption (VO2máx), muscle power (ImpHoriz), and body mass index (BMI) in Physical Education students. Sixteen Physical Education students from a private university located in the Western zone of Rio de Janeiro, of both sexes, were recruited for the present study. Participants performed three tests, during three non-consecutive days, with 48 hours rest interval among them. During the first testing day, total body mass and height measurement were performed for mass index calculation. The second and third testing day consisted of the cardiorespiratory capacity and lower limb muscle power evaluation, respectively. As result, weak correlation was found between BMI and VO2máx (r = -0.168) and ImpHoriz (r = 0.242). However, strength correlation was observed between VO2máx and ImpHoriz (r = 0.801). It is concluded that BMI is directly related to muscle power. However, in physically active subjects this factor does not influence.Keywords: Exercice. Athletic Performance. Performance.

The Relationship

Background:Physical activity level (PAL) is known to play an important role in reducing risk factors associated with sedentarism, in addition to improving the mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQL).Objective:Investigate the relationship of PAL and their domains with HRQL, mood state (MS) and anxiety.Method: 140 Physical Education students (23.6 ± 3.7 years) were evaluated. The Baecke Habitual Physical Activity and Quality of Life (QOL-36) questionnaires, State-Trait Anxiety Inventories (STAI-S and STAI-T) and Profile of Mood States (POMS) scale were used to investigate PAL, HRQL and mental health indicators. Pearson’s correlation coefficient examined the association between PAL and both mental health and HRQL parameters.Results:There was a correlation between state anxiety and both the domain leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) (p = 0.013) and total PAL score (p = 0.010). In relation to MS, a negative correlation was found between LTPA and total mood disorder (TMD) (p = 0.004). However, there were positive correlations between the vigor subscale and both LTPA (p=0.001) and total PAL (p=0.019). With respect to HRQL, analysis of the relationship between LTPA and total PAL demonstrated positive coefficients with the physical component summary (PCS) (p=0.000; p = 0.005), mental component summary (MCS) (p = 0.000; p = 0.006) and total HRQL (p = 0.000; p = 0.003).Conclusion:The findings suggest that the rise in LTPA was related to an increase in HRQL and MS. However, PAL was positively related to anxiety.

AbstractQuality of Life is an indispensable measure to measure the conditions in which people of a certain social group live. Thus, considering that the reality of physical education students of a private institution is to work during the hours that are not in class, that is, they accumulate work and study activities, implying the absence of time to take care of health and, considering also the lack of studies in this line of research is that this research is persented. Thus, the objective of the present study was to know and analyze the level of quality of life of a group of students of physical education in Rio de Janeiro. A total of 100 physical education students between 18 and 28 years of age from the western zone of Rio de Janeiro who answered the questionnaire SF-36 participated. As a result, it was observed 91% level of functional capacity, 74% for the physical and emotional domains, 57% for mental aspects, 52% for vitality, 47% for general health, 24% of pain and 2% regarding social aspects. However, health professionals, due to precarious socioeconomic needs and working conditions, tend to have their own quality of life compromised to the detriment of professional practice.Keywords: Quality of Life. Physical Exertion. Health Profile.ResumoA Qualidade de Vida constitui uma medida indispensável para mensurar as condições em que pessoas de um determinado grupo social vivem. Dessa forma, considerando que a realidade de estudantes de educação física de instituição privada é trabalhar no horário que não estão em aula, ou seja, acumulam as atividades de trabalho e estudo, implicando à ausência de tempo para cuidar da saúde e, considerando ainda a carência de estudos nessa linha de investigação é que essa pesquisa se apresenta. Dessa maneira, o objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer e analisar o nível de qualidade de vida de um grupo de estudantes de Educação Física do Rio de Janeiro. Participaram 100 estudantes de Educação Física entre 18 e 28 anos da zona oeste do Rio de Janeiro que responderam ao questionário SF-36. Como resultado, percebeu-se um nível de 91% quanto à capacidade funcional, 74% para os domínios aspectos físicos e emocionais, 57% em relação aos aspectos mentais, 52% à vitalidade, 47% ao estado geral de saúde, 24% de dor e 2% no que se refere aos aspectos sociais. Embora profissionais da saúde, devido às necessidades socioeconômicas e condições de trabalho precarizadas, tendem a ter sua própria qualidade de vida comprometida em detrimento da prática profissional.Palavras-chave: Qualidade de Vida.

Subject: The level of physical activity in the lifestyle of physical education students Introduction: Physical activity is defined as voluntary and spontaneous physical activity practiced during leisure time. Thanks to it, the body can function properly and develop on many levels. It plays an important role in social and physical development, as well as intellectual and emotional development. It finds its place in the fight against civilization diseases, it is also beneficial in resisting many other diseases.   Aim: The aim of the article is to assess the level of physical activity of physical education students of various specializations.   Material and methods: The research was conducted among students of physical education at the University of Rzeszów. 60 people took part in them - 38 women and 22 men aged 19-30. The respondents answered anonymously to 18 closed, single-choice questions.   Results: The majority of students are engaged in physical activity outside a college, and 65% of it is at amateur level activity. The most common reason why respondents take up physical activity is to improve the functional fitness of the body. 58% of the respondents undertook physical activity more than 3 times a week.   Conclusions: Most of the respondents do physical activity outside of their studies. The most common reason for taking up physical activity among the respondents was the improvement of the functional fitness of the body, and the factors influencing the fact that students are physically active were to the greatest extent sports activities   Key words: physical activity; lifestyle; physical education; student.

The aim of this study was to identify the stages of behavioral change (SBC) and compare quality of life (QOL) and physical activity level between first-year and last-year undergraduate Physical Education students at a public university in Pernambuco state, Northeastern Brazil. This is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 199 undergraduate Physical Education students, enrolled in the first, second, seventh and eighth semesters of their course, with a mean age of 21.32 ± 4.00 years, of which 61.80% were first-year students (enrolled in the first and second semesters). Behavioral change was verified with the SBC questionnaire, QOL with the WHOQOL-Bref and physical activity level with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Student’s t-test and Chi-square test were used for data analysis, with a 5% significance level. The most prevalent SBC was in the Action stage (first-year students: 53.3% and last-year students: 43.9%). There were significant differences in the social (p <0.01) and environmental (p<0.01) domains. Regarding the physical activity level, 82.93% of first-year students and 86.84% of last-year students were physically active. Both groups of students showed relatively positive QOL, SBC and physical activity level, although QOL differed in terms of sociability and environmental adaptation.

ObjectiveTo investigate associations between markers of health and playing golf in an Australian population.MethodsSecondary analysis of data from the Australian National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey to compare selected health outcomes between golfers (n=128) and non-golfers (n=4999).ResultsGolfers were older than non-golfers (mean±SD 57.7±14.2 years, 48.5±17.6 years, p<0.05). A higher proportion of golfers were overweight or obese compared with non-golfers (76% vs 64%, p<0.05), and golfers were more likely to have been diagnosed with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) at some time in their life (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.0 to 7.8). However, neither the risk of being overweight or obese (OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.9 to 2.2) or having been diagnosed with IHD (OR 2.1, 95% CI 0.8 to 5.8), were significant after controlling for age. Golfers were more physically active than non-golfers (8870±3810 steps/day vs 7320±3640 steps/day, p<0.05) and more likely to report high health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than non-golfers (OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.0 to 3.3), but not after adjusting for physical activity (OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.9 to 2.2).ConclusionCompared with non-golfers, golfers were more likely to be overweight or obese and to have been diagnosed with IHD, but not after adjusting for golfers being older. Golfers were more likely to report a higher HRQoL, but not after adjusting for golfers being more physically active. There may be an association between golfers being more physically active than non-golfers and reporting a higher HRQoL.

According to self-determination theory, motivation is multidimensional, with motivation regulations lying along a continuum of self-determination (Ryan & Deci, 2007). Accounting for the different types of motivation in physical activity research presents a challenge. This study used cluster analysis to identify motivation regulation profiles and examined their utility by testing profile differences in relative levels of self-determination (i.e., self-determination index), and theoretical antecedents (i.e., competence, autonomy, relatedness) and consequences (i.e., enjoyment, worry, effort, value, physical activity) of physical education motivation. Students (N = 386) in 6th- through 8th-grade physical education classes completed questionnaires of the variables listed above. Five profiles emerged, including average (n = 81), motivated (n = 82), self-determined (n = 91), low motivation (n = 73), and external (n = 59). Group difference analyses showed that students with greater levels of self-determined forms of motivation, regardless of non-self-determined motivation levels, reported the most adaptive physical education experiences.

Mean Differences

Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000), the current study explored whether physical education (PE) students’ psychological needs and their motivational regulations toward PE predicted mean differences and changes in effort in PE, exercise intentions, and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) over the course of one UK school trimester. One hundred and seventy-eight students (69% male) aged between 11 and 16 years completed a multisection questionnaire at the beginning, middle, and end of a school trimester. Multilevel growth models revealed that students’ perceived competence and self-determined regulations were the most consistent predictors of the outcome variables at the within- and between-person levels. The results of this work add to the extant SDT-based literature by examining change in PE students’ motivational regulations and psychological needs, as well as underscoring the importance of disaggregating within- and between-student effects.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of and factors associated with body image dissatisfaction among physical education students enrolled in a public university. METHODS: This study evaluated 236 students and assessed body image perception (silhouette scale), sociodemographic variables (sex, age, parental education, marital status, university course, work, living arrangement, study shift, and income), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Version), dietary habits, tobacco use, excessive intake of alcohol (questions from the tobacco, alcohol and drugs, and nutrition domains of the FANTASTIC instrument), and nutritional status (body mass index [BMI]). Descriptive analysis, the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and crude and adjusted multinomial regression were used. RESULTS: The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction was 69.5%; 44.1% were dissatisfied with excess weight. BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m² was associated with dissatisfaction with excess weight; factors associated with dissatisfaction with slimness were being male, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking tobacco. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that female college students with a BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m² are more likely to present dissatisfaction with excess weight. Being male, eating an unhealthy diet, engaging in physical activity for < 739.61 min/week and smoking tobacco were the variables associated with dissatisfaction with thinness.
