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.

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.

The Relationship

Abstract Background: New coronavirus (COVID-19) has a major impact on the individual's physical activity level (PAL); The COVID-19 quarantine outbreak caused a decrease in the PAL. Accordingly, it might also affect the general health and quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PAL with QoL and general health (GH) among COVID-19 recovered individuals (CRI).Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, using the multi-stage (Cluster) sampling techniques, 890 CRI (male (n = 438) and female (n = 452)) were volunteered from different COVID-19 testing centers in Kermanshah province. After filling out the consent form, the PAL, GH, and QoL questionnaires were completed and anthropometric parameters were measured. The PAL was assessed using the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), GH was assessed using the GHQ questionnaire and the QoL was measured by the QoL questionnaire (short-form-SF-12). The independent t-test was used to compare the mean of variables between men and women and the Pearson correlation coefficient test was used to evaluate the relationship between variables using SPSS software version 24 at a significant level of (P≤0.05). Results: The findings of the present study showed that men and women with COVID-19 had inadequate PAL (876.11±40.23;739.08±27.02), insufficient GH (50.13±3.1; 54.15±4.28), and poor QoL (22.02±2.28; 19.23±1.87), respectively. The results also showed that men had significantly higher PAL (P=0.035), GH (P=0.047), and QoL (P=0.023) compared to women. Also, the results show that increasing the PAL improves GH and QoL. Conclusions: Considering the prevalence of COVID-19 and its negative impact on GH and QoL, maintaining adequate PAL can be considered as one of the effective strategies for improving physical and GH, and immune systems, by observing the hygiene protocol.

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. Exercise. Sport. Quality of Life  ResumoSer ativo fisicamente constitui condição indispensável para a saúde a qualidade de vida. 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.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between quality of life and attitudes toward barriers to leisure time in Adiyaman University of Physical Education in Turkey. The study also examined the differences in quality of life and attitudes toward barriers to the leisure time of Adiyaman University students in Turkey. A standard questionnaire (ÜNİVERSİTE YAŞAM KALİTESİ ÖLÇEĞİ) was used to measure the quality of life students. The standard questionnaire (BOŞ ZAMAN ENGELLERİ ÖLÇEĞİ) was used to measure the attitude to the barriers to leisure time of students. Reliability of the questionnaires was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha test, the quality of life questionnaire of students was 0.82 and the leisure barrier questionnaire was 0.79. The questionnaires were distributed among the statistical sample (181 students of Adiyaman University of Physical Education in Turkey). The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between quality of life and attitudes towards the obstacles in leisure time of the Adiyaman University of Physical Education students in Turkey. The correlation coefficient between two variables was 0.63. Also, there was a significant difference in the quality of life and attitudes toward barriers to leisure time among Adiyaman Universidad students in Turkey. Male students had a higher quality of life, and female students had more obstacles in spending their leisure time.
