Kesehatan dan kesejahteraan berhak dimiliki oleh setiap orang. Berdasarkan Riskesdas tahun 2013, penduduk yang tergolong kurang aktif tingkat aktivitas fisiknya berada di atas rata-rata. Adanya pandemi COVID-19 mengakibatkan pembatasan kegiatan di luar rumah sehingga mengganggu kegiatan sehari-hari seperti latihan dan aktivitas fisik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui intensitas aktivitas fisik yang dilakukan oleh pria di masa pandemi COVID-19. Studi cross-sectional dengan metode total sampling dilakukan dalam penelitian ini sehingga didapatkan responden masyarakat berjenis kelamin laki-laki sejumlah 90. Data dikumpulkan dengan mengisi kuesioner GPAQ. Hasil kuisioner menunjukkan bahwa rerata nilai Metabolic Equivalent (MET) untuk total aktivitas fisik adalah 2365.42. Nilai MET tertinggi ada pada domain rekreasi (619.44). Responden yang memiliki intensitas aktivitas fisik yang rendah sebesar 40%, sedang 33% dan tinggi 27%. Aktivitas fisik tinggi banyak dijumpai pada Mahasiswa (25.7%). Rata-rata waktu yang dihabiskan untuk kegiatan menetap adalah 344 menit. Pelajar memiliki waktu kegiatan menetap tertinggi (428.57). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian responden masih melakukan aktivitas fisik sedang (33%) dan aktivitas fisik tinggi (27%). Namun persentase lebih besar ada pada aktivitas fisik rendah (40%) yang menandakan bahwa sebagian responden belum memenuhi rekomendasi WHO dalam melakukan aktivitas fisik sehari-hari untuk kesehatan.

Abstract Background Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (MCRFs), such as those related to aerobic capacity, muscle strength, physical activity, and body composition, have been poorly studied in Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate MCRFs and their relationships with disease status and comorbidities among patients with TAK. Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted between 2019 and 2020, in which 20 adult women with TAK were compared with 16 healthy controls matched by gender, age, and body mass index. The following parameters were analyzed: aerobic capacity by cardiopulmonary test; muscle function by timed-stands test, timed up-and-go test, and handgrip test; muscle strength by one-repetition maximum test and handgrip test; body composition by densitometry; physical activity and metabolic equivalent by IPAQ, quality of life by HAQ and SF-36; disease activity by ITAS2010 and NIH score; and presence of comorbidities. Results Patients with TAK had a mean age of 41.5 (38.0–46.3) years, disease duration of 16.0 (9.5–20.0) years, and a mean BMI of 27.7±4.5 kg/m2. Three out of the 20 patients with TAK had active disease. Regarding comorbidities, 16 patients had systemic arterial hypertension, 11 had dyslipidemia, and two had type 2 diabetes mellitus, while the control group had no comorbidities. TAK had a significant reduction in aerobic capacity (absolute and relative VO2 peak), muscle strength in the lower limbs, increased visceral adipose tissue, waist-to-hip ratio, reduced walking capacity, decreased weekly metabolic equivalent, and quality of life (P< 0.05) as compared to controls. However, there were no correlations between these MCRFs parameters and disease activity. Conclusions TAK show impairment in MCRFs; therefore, strategies able to improve MCRF should be considered in this disease.

Background: Regular moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity results in health benefits in people with diabetes. No study has observed the moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity typically performed by people with diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFU) in their everyday free-living environments. We observed the bouts, and accumulated time, spent doing moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity in cases with DFU compared with diabetes-related peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and diabetes (DM) controls over a one-week period. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional case-control study. Participants wore a multisensor device for >5 days (>22 hours per day). Primary outcomes included the number, duration (minutes) and intensity (metabolic equivalent tasks [METs]) of bouts of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (defined as at least >3 METs for >10 consecutive minutes). Secondary outcomes included the total accumulated times spent doing moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (>3 METs) and doing sedentary-intensity activity (<1.5 METs). DFU subgroups with minor amputations and nonremovable offloading devices were also analyzed. Results: Overall, 15 DM, 23 DPN, and 27 DFU participants were included. All groups recorded similar low median daily numbers (0.33, 0.29, 0.25 numbers, respectively), duration (15, 17, 14 minutes), and intensity of daily bouts of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (4.1, 4.3, 3.9 METs) (all, P > .1). Median accumulated daily time spent doing moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity was also similar (40, 37, 36 minutes; P > .8). Those with DFU had more mean accumulated daily time spent doing sedentary-intensity activity (796 minutes) compared to DPN (720 minutes; P < .05), but not compared to DM (728 minutes; P < .08). DFU subgroups with minor amputations had more median accumulated daily time spent doing moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (66, 28 minutes; P < .05) and less mean time doing sedentary-intensity activity (745, 837; P < .05) than those without amputations. Conclusions: People with DFU performed similar low numbers of daily bouts of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity to controls, but spend more time doing sedentary-intensity activities. Interventions that gradually increase the moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity in people with DFU should be investigated.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical activity (PA) remains the most important modifiable risk factor in the prevention of chronic diseases that are major killers in the modern era. However, many young people today do not meet the recommended guidelines on PA. Few studies were found on the levels of physical activity among adolescents from transitional countries. Objective: To determine the levels of physical activity in a representative sample of healthy adolescents from Pančevo (Serbia), and the factors that determine these level. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 401 randomly selected adolescents (191 boys and 210 girls) from the city of Pančevo, Serbia. The long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), validated for Serbia, was applied. PA was expressed as metabolic equivalent-minute per week (MET-min/week) and classified as low, moderate, or high. Results: The median PA for the whole sample was 2049.18 MET-min/week. The average PA score in boys was higher (2680 MET-min/week) than in girls (1479 MET-min/week). The prevalence of respondents with inadequate PA was 53.9%, and was higher in girls than in boys. Boys showed the higher values for intense and moderate PA, while the prevalent type of PA among girls was walking. Level of PA did not depend on the adolescent's nutritional status. The most important predictors of PA among the participants were sex, father's PA, and hours spent on sedentary activities like using a computer and watching television. Conclusion: Adolescents in Pančevo do not practice enough physical activity, especially girls. Better strategies are needed, to increase levels of PA, considering the main predictors in the adolescent population. Level of Evidence II; Retrospective study.

Background: An increase of sedentary behavior was observed in each year especially in clinical year. This accounts for a decrease in physical activities (PAs) of medical students, which could lead to reduced overall health and physical performance. Objective: To compare the levels of PA between pre-clinical and clinical medical students of Mae Fah Luang University (MFU) and to explored association between the levels of PA and school year. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and August 2019. Online questionnaire, including personal profiles and global PA questionnaire, were distributed to all MFU medical students currently studying in the academic year of 2019. Results: One hundred fifty-six medical students participated in the present study. From the questionnaires, 67.74% of pre-clinical medical students (n=63) and 52.99% of clinical medical students (n=36) had moderate to high levels of PA. Pre-Clinical students had significantly higher levels of PA by median metabolic equivalent value (MET) at 1,908.73 versus 1,339.05 MET-minutes/week (p=0.03). The sixth-year medical students increased risk of lower PA than the first year about 8.34 times (p<0.01). Conclusion: One-third of the medical students reported as having low levels of PA. Clinical medical students had reduced levels of PA compared to pre-clinical medical students. Therefore, PA should be promoted to help increase the overall health of medical students.

Background: Insufficient physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for global mortality and is on the rise in many countries, adding to the burden of NCDs and affecting general health worldwide. People who are insufficiently active have a 20% to 30% increased risk of death compared to people who are sufficiently active. Objective of the study was to assess the intensity of physical activity among school going adolescents aged 13–17 years.Methods: A cross sectional study was done among school going adolescents aged 13 – 17 years in 2 semi urban schools. About 235 subjects were selected and administered with a modified GPAQ questionnaire which measured the physical activity of the students in METs (metabolic equivalent).Results: The median intensity of physical activity among the study population was 500 METs (IQR 360 – 800). Among the study population, 148 (63%) adolescents were insufficiently physically active (< 600 METs) out of which females were 84 (57%). Among the adolescents, insufficient physical activity was significantly higher among females and among 16-17 years than 13-15 years age group.Academic stress and no space near their home for playing were found to be associated with insufficient physical activity.Conclusions:The prevalence of insufficient physical activity is very high among adolescents especially more among females. Reducing the academic burden and inclusion of physical activity classes in regular academic schedule and proper motivation from parents are required to improve physical activity among adolescents.

Objective: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the associations between combined cardiovascular fitness, obesity, and the risk of metabolic syndrome. Data Sources: The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were used to select relevant studies that included the relative risk (RRs) of metabolic syndrome based on the combined effects of cardiovascular fitness and obesity from January 1990 to July 2019. Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: The inclusion criteria were providing the RRs for the associations between combined cardiovascular fitness and obesity and the risk of metabolic syndrome. The exclusion criteria were review studies, duplicated studies, and no RRs reported for those associations. Data Extraction: All selected studies categorized levels of cardiovascular fitness (high cardiovascular fitness vs low cardiovascular fitness) and obesity (normal vs obesity) and directly extracted the RRs for the risk of metabolic syndrome from these data. All selected studies were cross-sectional studies. Data Synthesis: All RRs and 95% CIs from the selected studies were computed to find the associations between combined cardiovascular fitness and obesity and the risk of metabolic syndrome. Results: A total of 8 studies were selected for this meta-analysis. Low cardiovascular fitness was associated with 3. Fifty-nine times increased metabolic syndrome risk regardless of obesity (3.59, 95% CI: 3.07-4.20; P = .00). And obesity was associated with 1.62 times increased metabolic syndrome risk regardless of cardiovascular fitness level (1.62, 95% CI: 1.32-1.98; P = .00). Lastly, the risk of metabolic syndrome decreased by 77% with high cardiovascular fitness regardless of obesity (0.23, 95% CI: 0.12-0.43; P = .00). Conclusions: The combined effects of cardiovascular fitness and obesity are important factors when determining metabolic syndrome risk. The minimum level of cardiovascular fitness is 8.39 metabolic equivalent (METs) for adults to lower the risk of metabolic syndrome. Enhanced cardiovascular fitness and maintaining normal weight should be recommended for individuals to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Background Exercise testing is performed regularly in professional athletes. However, the blood pressure response (BPR) to exercise is rarely investigated in this cohort, and normative upper thresholds are lacking. Recently, a workload-indexed BPR (increase in systolic blood pressure per increase in metabolic equivalent of task (SBP/MET slope)) was evaluated in a general population and was compared with mortality. We sought to evaluate the SBP/MET slope in professional athletes and compare it with performance. Design This was a cross-sectional study. Methods A total of 142 male professional indoor athletes (age 26 ± 5 years) were examined. Blood pressure was measured at rest and during a standardized, graded cycle ergometer test. We assessed the BPR during exercise, the workload, and the metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Athletes were divided into groups according to their SBP/MET slope quartiles (I <4.3; II 4.3–6.2; III >6.2–9; IV >9 mmHg/MET) and compared regarding systolic BP (sBP) and workload achieved. Results Athletes in group I ( n = 42) had the lowest maximum sBP (180 ± 13 mmHg) but achieved the highest relative workload (4.2 ± 1 W/kg). With increasing SBP/MET slope, the maximum sBP increased (II ( n = 56): 195 ± 15 mmHg; III ( n = 44): 216 ± 16 mmHg) and the workload achieved decreased (II: 3.9 ± 0.7 W/kg; III: 3.3 ± 0.5 W/kg). The differences in sBP between these groups were significant ( p < 0.001). None of the athletes were assigned to group IV (>9 mmHg/MET). Conclusion Athletes in the lowest SBP/MET slope quartile displayed the lowest maximum sBP but achieved a higher workload than athletes classified into the other SBP/MET slope groups. This simple, novel metric might help to distinguish a normal from an exaggerated BPR to exercise, to identify athletes at risk of developing hypertension.

<p>Hipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit dengan prevalensi tertinggi di Indonesia maupun di Kota Malang. Hipertensi pada wanita usia subur akan meningkatkan resiko pre-eklampsi/eklampsi pada masa kehamilan. Pada tahun 2012, angka kematian ibu yang disebabkan oleh pre-eklampsi/eklampsi adalah sebesar 34,88%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: Pertama, mengkaji hubungan antara indeks massa tubuh (IMT), asupan lemak, mikronutrisi (Na, K, Ca, Mg) serta aktivitas fisik dengan tekanan darah, kedua, mengevaluasi faktor yang dominan berhubungan dengan tekanan darah. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional design. Total responden sebanyak 150 wanita berusia 18-44 tahun di Kecamatan Kedungkandang Kota Malang. Pengukuran tekanan darah, berat dan tinggi badan dilakukan secara replikasi. Aktifitas fisik diukur menggunakan perhitungan Metabolic Equivalent of Task. Hubungan antara faktor resiko yang diteliti dengan tekanan darah diuji menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman's rank dan Regresi Linier Ganda dengan tingkat signifikansi p&lt;0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 31.3% responden tergolong pre-hipertensi dan 12% responden tergolong hipertensi. Terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan antara tekanan darah dengan IMT (p=0,000) dan asupan lemak (p=0,015). Selain itu, uji regresi menunjukkan bahwa IMT merupakan faktor dominan terhadap tekanan darah. Asupan lemak hanya berpengaruh terhadap tekanan darah diastolik. Sedangkan asupan mikronutrisi dan aktivitas fisik tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan dengan tekanan darah. </p>

BackgroundThe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related social distancing measures have an impact on physical activity levels.ObjectiveTo assess the physical activity (PA) levels of the physiotherapy students in Rwanda during the COVID-19 lockdown period.MethodsWe used a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study design. Eighty-one participants were recruited, and data were collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. We used descriptive statistics, Pearson Chi-Square and Kruskal-Wallis tests to assess whether there were statistically significant differences in physical activity levels according to demographic variables.ResultsThe median total PA metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-minutes/week score for all the participants together was 3546 (IQR=8714), meaning high PA. The rates for high, moderate, and low PA levels were 54.4%, 31.7% and 13.9% respectively. Male and rural participants had higher median total PA MET score than females (p=0.008) and urban residents (p=0.018) respectively.ConclusionsThe PA levels of the study participants during the COVID-19 lockdown period were higher than the recommended standards. Females and urban participants appeared to be less physically active than their counterparts. Further similar studies and interventions towards PA promotion among university students in Rwanda during the pandemic are suggested.Rwanda J Med Health Sci 2021;4(3):334-340
