En España, la declaración del estado de alarma por la pandemia Covid-19, supuso que entre el 14 de marzo y el 2 de mayo de 2020, 47 millones de habitantes estuvieran confinados y sólo pudieran salir a cubrir necesidades básicas. Ante este hecho es oportuno analizar su impacto sobre la salud, tomando en consideración cómo afectó a la práctica de la actividad física. Se administró un cuestionario ad hoc. Los participantes fueron 1046 personas (hombre 48.57% y mujer 51.43%) y con una edad media de 40 (± DT 13.35 años). Respecto a la práctica de actividad física, destaca una significativa disminución de intensidad y cantidad (p < .001), y una modificación del tipo de actividad física realizada, pasando de deportes cardiovasculares y de aptitud muscular a prácticas de gimnasias suaves y flexibilidad. Aumentó el porcentaje total de personas que no realizaron nada de actividad física. Aun disponiendo de más tiempo libre, las personas en situación de ERTE, disminuyeron significativamente su cantidad de actividad física realizada (p < .001). Estos resultados permiten concluir que el confinamiento supuso una modificación de hábitos de práctica de actividad física, una disminución de los valores recomendados como saludables, lo que conllevó implicaciones sobre la salud y la calidad de vida. Se ofrece información que ayudará a entender estos nuevos comportamientos y que facilitará a los gestores estrategias innovadoras para activar la vuelta a niveles anteriores de actividad física, su incremento y, en definitiva, la reactivación del sector deportivo.  Abstract: In Spain, the declaration of the state of alarm due to the Covid-19 pandemic, meant that between 14th of March and 2nd of May 2020, 47 million inhabitants were confined at home and could only go out to cover basic needs. This unprecedented event has led to a paradigm shift, and it is appropriate to analyze its impact on health, considering how it has affected the practice of physical activity. An ad hoc questionnaire was administered. The participants were 1046 people (48.57% male and 51.43% female) and the average age of 40 (± DT 13.35 years). Regarding the practice of physical activity, a significant decrease in intensity and quantity stands out (p < .001), and a modification of the type of physical activity performed, going from cardiovascular sports and muscular fitness to soft gymnastics and flexibility practices. The total percentage of people who did no physical activity at all, increased. In addition, although more free time was available, people in ERTE situation significantly decreased their amount of physical activity performed (p < .001). These results allow us to conclude that confinement has meant a modification of physical activity practice habits and a decrease in the recommended values ​​of healthy healthy, and therefore has had implications on health and quality of life. This information will help to understand these new behaviors in order for managers to implement innovative strategies to reactivate the return to previous levels of physical activity, its increase and, in short, the reactivation of the sports sector.

ABSTRACTThe significant time older people typically spend at home affects both their level of physical activity and quality of life. This prospective cohort study was designed to identify the effects that living in a high-rise residence retirement community has on physical activity and quality of life in older people with leprosy. The relocation group was comprised of study participants who had relocated voluntarily to a high-rise apartment building. The comparison group was comprised of study participants who had chosen not to relocate to that building. Data were collected using a personal information survey, Modified Baecke's Questionnaire, and the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment (WHOQOL-BREF). The groups were significantly similar in terms of household activities, leisure time activities, total physical activity score, and quality of life physical and social aspects, and significantly different in terms of quality of life overall (F=7.864,p=0.006), psychological (F=5.403,p=0.021) and environmental (F=23.099,p=0.000) aspects. This study indicates that living in a high-rise apartment environment does not decrease physical activity and may promote overall quality of life, and psychological and environmental aspects, in retirement community residents. The findings enhance understanding of the effect of different living environments on physical activity and quality of life. Greater health professional participation in retirement community design to ensure such designs facilitate residents’ health and quality of life is recommended.

The Impact

BackgroundOlder people are at high risk of physical inactivity. Activity trackers can facilitate physical activity. We aimed to investigate the effect of interventions using activity trackers on physical activity, mobility, quality of life and mental health among people aged 60+ years.MethodsFor this systematic review, we searched eight databases, including MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL from inception to April 2018. Randomised controlled trials of interventions that used activity trackers to promote physical activity among people aged 60+ years were included in the analyses. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42017065250.ResultsWe identified 23 eligible trials. Interventions using activity trackers had a moderate effect on physical activity (23 studies; standardised mean difference (SMD)=0.55; 95% CI 0.40 to 0.70; I2=86%) and increased steps/day by 1558 (95% CI 1099 to 2018 steps/day; I2=92%) compared with usual care, no intervention and wait-list control. Longer duration activity tracker-based interventions were more effective than short duration interventions (18 studies, SMD=0.70; 95% CI 0.47 to 0.93 vs 5 studies, SMD=0.14; 95% CI −0.26 to 0.54, p for comparison=0.02). Interventions that used activity trackers improved mobility (three studies; SMD=0.61; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.90; I2=10%), but not quality of life (nine studies; SMD=0.09; 95% CI −0.07 to 0.25; I2=45%). Only one trial included mental health outcomes and it reported similar effects of the activity tracker intervention compared with control.ConclusionsInterventions using activity trackers improve physical activity levels and mobility among older people compared with control. However, the impact of activity tracker interventions on quality of life, and mental health is unknown.

AbstractData regarding the status of physical activity or understanding of the importance of exercise, such as barriers of exercise or enablers of exercise, in dialysis patients were insufficient. This study aimed to evaluate the status of physical activity and the understanding of the importance of exercise in Korean dialysis patients. The study participants were recruited from 27 hospitals or dialysis centers (n = 1611). Physical activity was evaluated using the Korean version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. High physical activity was defined as ≥ 600 metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Knowledge about the importance of exercise, enabler for regular exercise, benefits of exercise, and barrier to exercise was evaluated. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed by the Kidney Disease Quality of Life version 1.3. The number of participants in the hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) groups was 1247 and 364, respectively. The intensity of physical activity did not differ between the two modalities. The time of physical activity was longer in HD patients than in PD patients, which resulted in greater MET values and the number of high physical activity. There were 762 (61.1%) HD patients and 281 (77.2%) PD patients who heard of the importance of exercise (P < 0.001). In both HD and PD patients, dialysis staff played the most significant role as educators on the importance of exercise and enablers of exercise. The most important barriers to exercise were poor motivation and fatigue in both modalities. HD patients exhibited greater differences in HRQoL scales across two physical activity levels, compared to PD patients. Our study showed that the barrier to exercise and the enablers of exercise were poor motivation/fatigue and encouragement from dialysis staff, respectively.

Objetivo: Indagar en las diferentes bases de datos la conceptualización acerca de la definición de capacidad aeróbica, instrumentos utilizados para la medición y la relación directa con la actividad física en diferentes poblaciones en especial adulto mayor.  Metodología: se realiza una búsqueda en la que se obtienen 50 artículos publicados entre los años 2013 y 2018. Esta se adelantó en bases de datos como Medline, Science Direct, Pubmed, Dialnet, Proquest, entre otras. De igual forma se consideraron aportes de expertos en el área de actividad física y promoción de la salud, donde se abordan como parámetros de búsqueda las categorías actividad física, música, capacidad aeróbica, adulto mayor. Los artículos examinados incluyeron revisiones, artículos de investigación y capítulos de libros. Resultados: al realizar el barrido bibliográfico en artículos de investigación científica y capítulos de libro, encontramos lo referente a la capacidad aeróbica, definiciones, formas de mediarla; de igual manera la relación que tiene la música al realizar actividad física y a su vez, recomendaciones para practicarla, en especial con adulto mayor. También se exponen los beneficios y riesgos de un nivel insuficiente al practicar actividad física. Así mismo, se reportan mejoras significativas en cuanto a que reduce las enfermedades, favorece el desempeño de las actividades de la vida diaria, permite ejercitar grupos musculares de piernas y brazos, logrando así realizar actividades en las cuales se usan todas las partes del cuerpo, como caminar, lo que se convierte en estrategia principal de intervención para el mantenimiento o mejora de esta capacidad y por consiguiente permita mejorar la calidad de vida. Conclusiones: Esta revisión permite que el lector visualice los diversos conceptos de capacidad aeróbica, instrumentos de medición, así como su relación con la actividad física, la música, los beneficios y recomendaciones al realizarla en distintas poblaciones, pero en especial con adulto mayor. Por otra parte, al practicar actividad física acompañada por música ha demostrado en distintas investigaciones los beneficios que otorgan al practicarlo. Aun así, se debe tener un control sobre la intensidad, como toda actividad programa, en este caso por los beats musicales (beneficios psicológicos (110-130 bpm) y físicos orgánicos (120-140 bpm), la frecuencia cardiaca, escala de Borg o test del habla. Implementar actividades novedosas como el uso de la música al realizar actividad física, crea una motivación y gusto, lo cual lleva a que los hábitos de vida cambien y mejore la calidad de vida del adulto mayor.  Abstract. Objective: To investigate in the different databases the conceptualization about the definition of aerobic capacity, the instruments used for measurement and the direct relation with physical activity in different populations, especially older adults. Methodology: a search is carried out in which 45 articles published between 2013 and 2018 are obtained. This was advanced in databases such as Medline, Science Direct, Pubmed, Dialnet, Proquest, among others. In the same way, contributions were considered from experts in the area of physical activity and health promotion, where the following categories are addressed as search parameters: physical activity, music, aerobic capacity, and older adults. The articles examined included reviews, research articles and book chapters. Results: When we carried out the bibliographic sweep in articles of scientific research and book chapters, we found what refers to aerobic capacity, definitions, ways of mediating it; likewise, the relationship that music has when performing physical activity and at the same time, recommendations for practice, especially with older adults. It also exposes the benefits and risks of an insufficient level of physical activity. Moreover, significant improvements are reported in terms of reducing diseases, favoring the performance of activities of daily life, allowing to exercise muscle groups of legs and arms, thus achieving activities in which all parts of the body are used, such as walking, which becomes the main intervention strategy for the maintenance or improvement of this capacity and therefore allows to improve the quality of life. Conclusions: This review allows the reader to visualize the various concepts of aerobic capacity, measuring instruments, as well as their relation to physical activity, music, benefits and recommendations when performing it in different populations, but especially with older adults. On the other hand, the practice of physical activity accompanied by music has demonstrated in various investigations the benefits of practicing it. Even so, one must have control over the intensity, as any program activity, in this case by musical beats (psychological benefits (110-130 bpm) and organic physical beats (120-140 bpm), heart rate, Borg scale or speech test. Implement innovative activities such as the use of music when performing physical activity, creates a motivation and pleasure, which leads to life habits change and improve the quality of life of the older adult.
