ABSTRACTObjective: To access the physical work capacity and cognition of underprivileged anemic adolescent, hemoglobin (Hb) of subjects was assessed forthe adolescence under 17-20 years of age by undergoing survey.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in students of 1st year of Saveetha Dental College. The general information about age, Hb level(Sahli’s method), knowledge about anemia, status of menstruation, and regarding the consumption of various diet factors were recorded on astructured questionnaire. Due to feasibility and cost effectiveness, Hb estimation was done by Sahli’s hemoglobinometer.Results: Our study proved that now a days adolescence is not much more prone to anemia. And mostly 40% of adolescence were having mild anemia.This mild anemia can be improved by dietary intake and bioavailability of iron, nutritional supplementation of iron and folic acid (IFA) tablets, andfortification of edible dietary items with iron. This difference was statistically significant (Chi-square value 4.848, p<0.001).Conclusion: The study was mainly done for adolescence awareness on anemia. Iron deficiency anemia occurs most frequently in adolescence becauseaccelerated physical growth both in boys and girls and menstruation and dieting for fear of obesity in female teenagers. The prevalence of anemianecessitates pragmatic intervention to improve the dietary intake, nutritional supplement of IFA tablets.Keywords: Adolescence, Dietary factors, Knowledge about anemia.

School Ratings

The objective of this study was to examine the association of scholastic performance with physical activity and fitness of children. To do so, school ratings of scholastic ability on a five-point scale for a nationally representative sample of 7,961 Australian schoolchildren aged 7–15 years were compared with physical activity and fitness measurements. Consistently across age and sex groups, the ratings were significantly correlated with questionnaire measures of physical activity and with performance on the 1.6-kilometer run, sit-ups and push-ups challenges, 50-meter sprint, and standing long jump. There were no significant associations for physical work capacity at a heart rate of 170 (PWC170). The results are concordant with the hypothesis that physical activity enhances academic performance, but the cross-sectional nature of the observations limits causal inference, and the disparity for PWC170 gives reason to question whether the associations were due to measurement bias or residual confounding.

Beneficial Effects

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia is most common nutritional deficiency disorder in India and remains a formidable health challenge. Iron deficiency leads to many nonhematological disturbances which include growth and development, depressed immune function in infants; reduces physical work capacity; decreases the cognitive function in both infants and adolescents. Present study was done to know the effect of iron supplement in cognitive enhancement in children. Material and Method: Participants at three randomly selected schools were given iron supplement either once weekly or twice weekly or daily for one year. The fourth was the control school. In our study School boys (n=142) in the age group of 8-13 years was participated. Results: iron supplementation given daily and twice weekly significantly improved cognition in most tests; the effect was not seen in once-weekly or control groups. In daily and twice weekly iron supplement  groups, positive change in cognition test scores was relatively higher in boys with good compliance(>70% dose) vs. poor compliance; in anemic (hemoglobin1.1g/dL) vs. lower Hb gain. Conclusion: Twice weekly IFA supplementation is comparable to daily IFA in terms of beneficial effects on cognition in young adolescent girls.

Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to analysing the correlation between dietary factors, including meat, milk, egg and fruit to Serum ferritin (S.f) and Haemoglobin (Hb) concentration in students. Methods: In this cross sectional study, 1686 normal volunteers were randomly selected from Government Schools during the period of September 2015 to April 2016. Data concerning dietary intake such as meat, milk, egg and fruits were taken. Baseline levels for volunteers were specified after collection of data like personal, anthropometery and dietary intake to determine Hb and S.f levels. Results: Observation of mean values such as 18.7kg/m2 for Body Mass Index (BMI), 12.2g/dl for Haemoglobin and 88.0µg/l for Serum ferritin were taken from all samples. The mean values for Hb 14.6g/dl, S.f 190.0µg/l, and BMI 21.50kg/m2 were higher for volunteers with high meat intake as compared to other dietary elements. However, dietary factors such as meat, egg and fruits showed significant association with Hb, S.f, BMI and monthly income, however milk consumption has non significant association with haemoglobin at P<0.01 level. Conclusion: Iron status in blood is significantly affected by dietary intake such as meat, milk, fruits and eggs. However, dietary habits in population are highly affected by other socioeconomic factors such as lifestyle and income. Although dietary intake on daily basis, enhanced the Hb and Serum ferritin levels, but meat takers showed higher values than other food components so it is recommended that meat should be taken more for the management of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).

Introduction: Estimation of the maximum aerobic capacity to find a physiological fitness between worker and the work is of great importance. The purpose of this study was to estimate the highest aerobic capacity and physical work capacity of tile and ceramic workers. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 90 workers were randomly selected from tile and ceramic workers in Yazd. A questionnaire consisting of two parts was used as data collection tool. The first part of the questionnaire included demographic characteristics completed by the interview. In the second part, parameters including height, weight, BMI and heart rate were inserted in the questionnaire. The Queen step test was used to measure the maximum aerobic capacity. The data were analyzed by SPSS software using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests and Spearman,s test. Results: The maximum aerobic capacity in tile and ceramic workers was estimated to be 3.60±.0.03 L/m. The results showed that aerobic capacity was significantly correlated with weight and body mass index. Also, there was no significant relationship between aerobic capacity, smoking and exercise, and education, but there was a significant relationship between gob title and aerobic capacity. Conclusion: Weight, BMI and type of occupation affect the aerobic capacity of workers.

Abstract Objective The effects of chronic cannabis consumption on physiological parameters of athletic performance are investigated to determine whether chronic cannabis consumption negatively affects athletic performance; improves performance, potentially via enhanced recovery; or has no effect at all. Methods A systematic review of the literature (cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention studies) concerning the effects of cannabis consumption on sports performance outcomes, e.g. VO2Max (maximal oxygen uptake), PWC (physical work capacity) up to January 2020 was conducted using the PubMed, CINAHL, Medline, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, SPORTDiscus, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection, and Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition databases. After screening and additional forward searching, four articles were found to fit the inclusion criteria. Results Resting heart rate was the only physiological measure that significantly differed between groups, and only in one of the four studies included herein. The strongest predictors of athletic performance (VO2Max and PWC) were not found to be significantly different between groups in any of the included studies. Chronic cannabis consumption had no significant effect on athletic performance. The included studies did not assess other elements, such as recovery or endurance. Conclusion No evidence exists for ergogenic or ergolytic effects from chronic cannabis consumption. In some sports, advantages may plausibly be conveyed by psychotropic enhancement or pain reduction. Further research (particularly longitudinal or interventional studies) is required to determine whether cannabis, or constituents thereof, may provide indirect supplemental benefits to athletes.

Malnutrition or acute malnutrition is the most severe form of chronic malnutrition, the presence or absence of oedeme or weight per age <-3 SD according to WHO growth standards. Malnutrition affects physical growth, morbidity, mortality, cognitive development, reproduction, and physical work capacity and its impact on human performance, and health. This study aims to determine risk factors in underfive children. Type of case control research. Malei Health Center Sub District Balaesang Tanjung. The study began in January 2017. Sampling technique with total sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria were 56 samples consisting of case and control. The result of bivariate analysis showed the level of energy intake (OR = 3,84, 95% CI 0,68-21,51), protein intake level (OR = 4,94; 95% CI 0,50-48,29) and history of disease infection (OR = 2.13; 95% CI 0.61-7.32) was significantly associated with poor nutrition. Low Birth Weight indicates the level of protein intake has a strong relationship with the risk of malnutrition. The level of energy intake, the level of protein intake and infectious diseases is a nutritional risk factor in infants. Keywords : Underfive Children, Risk Factor, Malnutrition

Abstract Objectives It has been estimated that 37–50% of anemia in non-pregnant women of reproductive age (WRA) is associated with iron deficiency (ID). Some of the highest rates of anemia associated with ID have been found in Latin American and Caribbean countries including Mexico. It has been well established that iron deficiency anemia (IDA), characterized by a reduced concentration of hemoglobin, results in a decline in muscular work capacity exhibited by a decrease in aerobic capacity and the ability to perform physical exercise. There is conflicting evidence on the impairment of physical work capacity in the iron deficient non-anemic (IDNA) state that is characterized by low serum ferritin but normal hemoglobin. The purpose of this study was to determine if iron status influences physical work capacity during submaximal exercise in Mexican women 18- to 45-year-old who are marginally iron depleted but not anemic. Methods Thirty-three iron-depleted (serum ferritin < 20 µg/L), non-anemic (hemoglobin > 120 g/L) women (age: 26.5 ± 6.4 yr) received either 10 mg elemental iron as FeSO4 daily (Fe: iron-supplement group, n = 18) or an identical placebo capsule (P: placebo group, n = 15) for 6 wk in a randomized, double-blind controlled trial. The energy cost of performing work during cycle ergometry at 25 and 50 watts were determined from indirect calorimetry at baseline and following the supplementation period. Results We observed increased serum ferritin (P = 0.035) and total body iron (P = 0.001), and decreased serum transferrin receptor (P = 0.028) in the Fe group compared with the P group. Based on mixed model ANOVA for a time-by treatment interaction, at end line participants in the Fe group performed work at both 25 and 50 W with lower mean energy expenditures (EE) compared to the P group (difference in EE at 25 W = 0.28 kcal/min, P = 0.036; difference in EE at 50 W = 0.41 kcal/min; P = 0.017). Conclusions Findings suggest that marginally iron depleted but non-anemic Mexican women improved their iron status and physical work efficiency following the consumption of supplemental iron. These results are important for WRA whose social, economic and dietary circumstances increase their risk for IDNA and suggest that a large proportion of these women who rely on physical labor as a livelihood may be working harder to achieve the same amount of work output as individuals with normal iron levels.
