The purpose of this study was to reveal changes in the motivation to receive treatment by overweight adolescent girls in the course of counseling. Methods and Results: The study included 2 groups of overweight girls with gynecological disorders aged between 14 years and 16 years. Group 1 comprised 20 girls admitted to a hospital for the first time; Group 2 consisted of 20 girls who had undergone treatment earlier (were admitted repeatedly). The motivational-personal sphere was studied using the following methods: (1) McClelland’s method for testing social and psychological activity motivators; (2) S.R. Panteleev’s research method of self-attitude; (3) EAT-26; (4) The body satisfaction method by Collins. The results obtained showed that changing motivation to receive treatment is a complex process implying changes in motivational induction: Achievement Motive, Affiliation Motive, Help Motive, Development Motive, and Cognition Motive. It was also revealed that directly acting motives prevailed over those emerging due to awareness of the treatment’s purpose. Conclusion: a specially developed counseling process comprising diagnostic, informational, correctional and developmental aspects of working with adolescent girls individually and in groups contributed to changing motivation to receive treatment by overweight adolescent girls.

Regular exercise during school hours is encouraged since childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions. Moreover, a great majority of adolescents do not meet the recommendations for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. The present study aimed to determine the effects of school-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and nutrition intervention on body composition and physical fitness in overweight adolescent girls. Forty-eight girls were included in the study, of whom 24 (age = 15.5 ± 0.7 years) were randomized to a experimental group (EXP) (HIIT and nutrition intervention school-based program) and 24 (age = 15.7 ± 0.6 years) to a control group (CON) that maintained their usual physical education activities. HIIT consisted of 10 stations of own bodyweight exercise and was done three times per week for eight weeks. Moreover, the EXP participated in the nutrition program led by a nutritionist two times a week. Apart from body composition assessment, participants performed countermovement jump (CMJ), medicine ball throw, hand-grip test, and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1 Test (YYIRT1). A significant effect of group (EXP vs. CON) x time (pre vs. post) interaction was observed for weight [F(1,44) = 7.733; p = 0.008], body mass index [F(1,44) = 5.764; p = 0.020], body fat (in kg) [F(1,44) = 17.850; p < 0.001], and body fat (in %) [F(1,44) = 18.821; p < 0.001]. Moreover, a significant interaction was observed for the medicine ball throw [F(1,44) = 27.016; p < 0.001] and YYIRT1 [F(1,44) = 5.439; p = 0.024]. A significant main effect for time was found for hand grip [F(1,44) = 9.300; p = 0.004] and CMJ [F(1,44) = 12.866; p = 0.001].The present study has demonstrated that just eight weeks school-based HIIT and nutrition intervention, including three sessions a week, can improve body composition and muscular and physical aerobic performance in overweighted adolescent girls.

Among adolescent girls, overweight or obesity has both physical and psychological involvement. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of moxibustion using a moxa burner. Fifty-four eligible girls aged 15–18 years with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25.3 were enrolled in the study. The girls were randomly allocated to the treatment (n = 27) and control (n = 27) groups. The girls underwent treatment three times per week for 8 weeks (24 treatments). Moxibustion was applied to the RN12, RN6, ST25, ST36, and SP6 acupoints. Physical assessments were BMI, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and body fat ratio (BFR). Psychological outcomes were measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE). Data were collected at the beginning of the study (baseline), week 4, and week 8. Of the 54 participants, 46 completed the trial. The difference in mean BMI from baseline between the two groups was 0.097 ( p = 0.655 ) at week 4 and −0.794 ( p = 0.001 ) at week 8. The mean WHR of the treatment group was significantly reduced compared with baseline, with a −0.011 ( p = 0.017 ) and −0.035 ( p < 0.001 ) mean change at weeks 4 and 8, respectively. The mean BFR was slightly reduced (−0.253; p = 0.474 ) at week 4 compared with baseline in the treatment group. At week 8, it was significantly reduced (−2.068; p < 0.001 ) from baseline in the treatment group. The mean RSE in the treatment group showed no significant increase from baseline at week 4 (0.155 points, p = 0.803 ), but it improved significantly from baseline at week 8 (1.606 points, p = 0.021 ) compared to that in the control group. No obvious adverse effect was reported during this study. Moxibustion using a moxa burner may be an effective and safe intervention for overweight adolescent girls, having both physical and psychological benefits.

Purpose: to evaluate long term effectiveness of a method of restoring the accommodation function of the eye and preventing the onset and progression of myopia and to propose ways to overcome medical requirements that are difficult to meet.Material and methods. The method consisted in prolonged installations of 1 % tropicamide eye drops and permanent optical correction that corresponded to manifest refraction. 48 schoolchildren aged 7–18 with initial myopia or signs of high risk myopia onset were followed up. The subjects were divided into 2 groups of 24 people each. Group 1 consisted of children who followed medical prescriptions and group 2 consisted of those who did not. The two groups were further subdivided into two subgroups. Subgroup 1A included 12 children with the initial positive cycloplegic refraction up to +1.0 D; subgroup 1B included 12 children with the initial negative cycloplegic refraction from -0.5 D. Subgroup 2A (12 children) had negative cycloplegic refraction who regularly failed to receive treatment (optical correction, eyedrop instillations, medical checkups), and subgroup 2B (12 children) had negative cycloplegic refraction who received practically no treatment for myopia. Regular checkups took place 2–3 times a year for 10 years and included measuring visual acuity, manifest and cycloplegic refraction by skiascopy or subjectively, as well as measuring relative accommodation reserve (RAR) according to the author’s own technique. The treatment envisaged permanent optical correction in accordance with manifest refraction until the age of 18 years, combined with courses of tropicamide 1 % instillations for 1 to 3 months two to three times a year. Results. In group 1A, myopia was prevented in all subjects. In group 1B, the progression stopped after several years of treatment. In subgroup 2A and especially subgroup 2B, myopia progressed, over the 10-year follow-up period reaching the figures of 2.5 and 3.5 D, respectively. Conclusion. The long-term efficiency of the proposed method applied to schoolchildren from grade 1 to grade 10 was confirmed. Ways to overcome the difficulties of following medical requirements were proposed.

Methode: This is an observational research using cross sectional design, conducted in Santa Agnes junior high school Surabaya. The sample size was 36 adolescent girls, and randomly selected from student’s list. The observed variables were body image, body dissatisfaction and fear of fatness. Measurement of data using modification from Multidimensional Body Self Questionnaire-Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS). The data were analyzed by Chi-square test with α=0.05. Result: The result of the research showed that there was difference of perception about body shape and body weight  between overweight and non overweight adolescent girls with value p=0.044. Coclusion: It was concluded that  overweight girls tend to have negative body image, whereas non overweight girls tend to have positive body image.ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Remaja adalah salah satu kelompok umur yang rentan mengalami kelebihan berat badan dan obesitas.

Variabel yang diamati adalah citra tubuh, remaja yang tidak puas dengan bentuk tubuhnya sendiri dan rasa takut menjadi gemuk pada remaja perempuan. Pengukuran data dari modifikasi Multidimensional Body Self Questionnaire-Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS). Analisis data menggunakan uji statistik Chi-square  dengan nilai α= 0,05.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada perbedaan persepsi mengenai bentuk dan berat tubuh yang dimiliki antara kelompok remaja putri overweight dan non overweight dengan nilai p = 0,044 (p < 0,05).
