Using Data

Active school transport (AST) is a source of daily physical activity uptake. However, AST seems to have decreased worldwide over recent decades. We aimed to examine recent trends in AST and associations with gender, age, family affluence, and time to school, using data from the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study collected in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 in the Czech Republic, Norway, Scotland, and Wales. Data from 88,212 students (11, 13 and 15 years old) revealed stable patterns of AST from 2006 to 2018, apart from a decrease in the Czech Republic between 2006 and 2010. For survey waves combined, walking to and from school was most common in the Czech Republic (55%) and least common in Wales (30%). Cycling was only common in Norway (22%). AST differed by gender (Scotland and Wales), by age (Norway), and by family affluence (everywhere but Norway). In the Czech Republic, family affluence was associated with change over time in AST, and the effect of travel time on AST was stronger. The findings indicate that the decrease in AST could be levelling off in the countries considered here. Differential associations with sociodemographic factors and travel time should be considered in the development of strategies for AST.

AbstractObjectivesTo investigate the relationships between food poverty and food consumption, health and life satisfaction among schoolchildren.DesignAnalysis of the 2002 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, a cross-sectional survey that employs a self-completion questionnaire in a nationally representative random sample of school classrooms in the Republic of Ireland.SubjectsA total of 8424 schoolchildren (aged 10–17 years) from 176 schools, with an 83% response rate from children.ResultsFood poverty was found to be similarly distributed among the three social classes (15.3% in the lower social classes, 15.9% in the middle social classes and 14.8% in the higher social classes). It was also found that schoolchildren reporting food poverty are less likely to eat fruits, vegetables and brown bread, odds ratio (OR) from 0.66 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.45–0.87) to 0.81 (95% CI 0.63–0.99); more likely to eat crisps, fried potatoes and hamburgers, OR from 1.20 (95% CI 1.00–1.40) to 1.62 (95% CI 1.39–1.85); and more likely to miss breakfast on weekdays, OR from 1.29 (95% CI 0.33–1.59) to 1.72 (95% CI 1.50–1.95). The risk of somatic and mental symptoms is also increased, OR from 1.48 (95% CI 1.18–1.78) to 2.57 (95% CI 2.33–2.81); as are negative health perceptions, OR from 0.63 (95% CI 0.43–0.83) to 0.52 (95% CI 0.28–0.76) and measures of life dissatisfaction, OR from 1.88 (95% CI 1.64–2.12) to 2.25 (95% CI 2.05–2.45). Similar results were found for life dissatisfaction in an international comparison of 32 countries. All analyses were adjusted for age and social class.ConclusionsFood poverty in schoolchildren is not restricted to those from lower social class families, is associated with a substantial risk to physical and mental health and well-being, and requires the increased attention of policy makers and practitioners.

El presente trabajo pretende acotar las relaciones existentes entre la práctica de actividad física y la existencia de conductas desadaptativas en el entorno escolar durante la adolescencia. Las peculiaridades propias de este periodo unido a la aparición de nuevos hábitos vida, más cercanos al grupo de iguales, suponen la creación de nuevos patrones conductuales para el adolescente. Fuera del horario escolar, los reducidos niveles de práctica de actividad física, pueden generar consecuencias de tipo físico y psicosocial, y del mismo modo en el entorno escolar, y aunque la gran mayoría de los adolescentes supere de forma adaptativa las dificultades escolares, pueden aparecer fenómenos de fracaso escolar, absentismo y síntomas relacionados con conductas desadaptativas, como el burnout en el contexto escolar. Los resultados en una muestra de 680 sujetos con una edad media de 14.55 años, que cumplimentaron el Cuestionario MBI-SS y el Health Behaviour in School-aged Children, señalan  que el cumplimiento  de las recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física 30 minutos diarios se relaciona positivamente con las dimensiones del burnout. Por ello, se sugiere incentivar estrategias que aumenten la correcta práctica de actividad física así como sistemas de control de procesos desadaptativos a nivel psicológico. Abstract. The current study attempts to delimit the connection that exists between athletic practice and non-adaptive behaviours in a in a school environment environment during adolescence. The particularities of this age together with a new lifestyle, closer to a teen peer group, entail the creation of new behaviour models for the individual teenager. Outside of the academic schedule, a  low level of physical activity can generate physical and psychosocial consequences, even also in the  school environment. If the majority of students can overcome the academic difficulties, it is also possible to observe some cases of   school difficulties, absenteeism, and non-adaptive behaviour symptoms, such as burnout. The results of a sample of 680 individuals, with an average age of 14.55 years old who completed the MBI-SS questionnaire and the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children,  indicate that the recommended compliance  with 30 daily minutes of  physical activity is closely related to burnout tendencies.  Based on this data, we propose motivational strategies to implement the correct  physical activity practices, such as systems to control non-adaptive processes at psychological levels.
