 Introducción: A pesar de que existe una relación entre el sobrepeso, actividad física y calidad de movimiento, no está clara la relación entre otras variables relacionadas con la composición corporal y la calidad de patrones de movimiento fundamentales, por lo que el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la relación entre variables antropométricas y calidad de movimientos fundamentales en escolares. Material y Método: Estudio observacional analítico transversal. Se evaluaron 18 estudiantes (11 hombres) de 12,72±0,57 años. Se midió el peso, estatura, índice de masa corporal, perímetro de cintura, perímetro de cadera, índice cintura-cadera, índice cintura-estatura y porcentaje de grasa corporal, y se valoró el Functional Movement Screen (FMS). Se aplicó la prueba de correlación de Spearman y Pearson, (α=0,05), para determinar la relación entre variables antropométricas y las pruebas del FMS. Resultados: Se encontró una relación positiva entre la variable estatura y el puntaje total del FMS (0,62; p<0,01) y la prueba de pasar la valla (0,74; p<0,01), y negativa entre el porcentaje de grasa corporal con las pruebas de sentadilla profunda (-0,58; p<0,05), el índice cintura-estatura y la estabilidad rotatoria (-0,48; p<0,01). Conclusión: Existe una relación positiva entre la variable de estatura con la calidad de movimientos fundamentales. Por otro lado, se encontró que variables relacionadas con composición corporal como porcentaje de grasa corporal e índice cintura-cadera, tienen una relación negativa con algunas de las pruebas del Functional Movement Screen. Por lo tanto, podemos determinar que existe una relación entre variables antropométricas y calidad de movimiento para la población evaluada. Abstract. Introduction: Although there is a relationship between overweight, physical activity and movement quality, the relationship between other anthropometric variables related to body composition and the quality of fundamental movement patterns is not clear. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between anthropometric variables and the quality of fundamental movement in children. Material and method: Observational cross-sectional study. 18 children (11 males) of 12.72 ± 0.57 years old were assessed. Weight, height, body mass index, waist perimeter, hip perimeter, waist-to-hip, and waist-to-height indexes and percentage of adipose tissue were evaluated, and the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to determine the quality of fundamental movements was applied. To determine the relationship between anthropometric variables and FMS tests, the Pearson's correlation test was calculated, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: A positive relationship was found between height, total FMS score (0.62; p <0.01), and the hurdle step test (0.74; p <0.01), whereas negative associations between adipose tissue percentage vs deep squat test (-0.58; p <0.05), and waist-to-height index vs rotational stability test (-0.48; p <0.01) were found. Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between height and fundamental movements quality in children. Furthermore, variables related to body composition such as adipose tissue percentage and hip waist index, had a negative relationship with some of the FMS tests. Therefore, we can conclude that there is an association between anthropometric variables and movement quality in children.

Approximately half of the injuries experienced by firefighters consist of musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs). Functional movement quality may be associated with MSKI risk within this tactical athlete population. Previous research indicates that measures of body composition change among firefighter recruits progressing from academy training through active-duty service, but similar changes in functional movement quality have yet to be examined. The purpose of this study was to describe longitudinal changes in functional movement quality of firefighter recruits. Body mass index (BMI), body fat (BF), and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) data were collected from 26 male firefighter recruits at the onset (W1) and completion (W14) of their training academy, and at the completion of their probationary period of active-duty service (W38). After adjusting for changes in BMI and BF across time, significant changes (ps < 0.05) in Composite FMS scores were identified, with significant increases in from W1 to W14 and from W14 to W38, as well as an overall increase from W1 to W38. These results suggest that the development of firefighter-specific skills can decrease the MSKI risk of firefighter recruits by facilitating enhanced functional movement competencies, particularly during tasks that require single-leg movement and core strength and stability.

This research aims to determine the relationship between psychological and demographic factors, which are dispositional optimism, and self-efficacy are the psychological factors, meanwhile home, sex and ethnicity as the demographic factors of quality of life in the older adults. The major hypothesis of this research proposed that there are positive relationship from both psychological factors and demographic factors to the quality of life in older adults. This study involved 53 older adult peoples. The result of multiple regression analysis shows that there is a positive relationship from all five variables to the quality of life in older adults as big as 76,5% (Adjusted R2= 0,765). This result means that both the psychological and demographic factors do have effective contributions to the quality of life in older adult people. The results of t-tests are also discussed.

This article discusses the relationship between educational institutes that use ERMS and the performance of those institutions. This article uses a mixed explanatory method that incorporated quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative method collected the responses from 364 participants. This was followed by a qualitative approach where experts were interviewed to verify the model. The results generated using the quantitative approach demonstrated that the quality of the system, information, and service as well as the security provided by the system had a significant positive relationship with the successful adoption of ERMS, which in turn improved performance. Moreover, the qualitative results that gathered through the experts confirmed the findings and contributed to enriching the understanding of the adoption of ERMS in educational institutions.

Context Predicting and promoting physical performance are important goals within the tactical professional community. Movement screens are frequently used in this capacity but are poor predictors of performance outcomes. It has recently been shown that prediction improved when movement quality was evaluated under load, but the mechanisms underlying this improvement remain unclear. Because balance, range of motion, and strength are mutually relevant to physical performance and movement quality, these attributes may mediate load-related decreases in movement quality and account for the resulting increase in performance prediction. Objective To quantify the roles of balance, range of motion, and strength in mediating load-related decreases in clinical movement-screen scores. Design Crossover study. Setting Research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants Twenty-five male (age = 23.96 ± 3.74 years, height = 178.82 ± 7.51 cm, mass = 79.66 ± 12.66 kg) and 25 female (age = 22.00 ± 2.02 years, height = 165.40 ± 10.24 cm, mass = 63.98 ± 11.07 kg) recreationally active adults. Intervention(s) Participants completed a clinical movement screen under a control condition and while wearing an 18.10-kg weighted vest as well as tests of balance, range of motion, and strength. Main Outcome Measure(s) Item score differences were assessed using Wilcoxon signed rank tests for matched pairs. Interactions between (1) balance, range of motion, and strength and (2) load condition were modeled using penalized varying-coefficients regression with item scores as the dependent measure. Results Except for the hurdle step, item scores were lower in the weighted-vest than in the control condition for all tests (P &lt; .05). Except for rotary stability, F statistics were significant for all models (P values &lt; .05, R2 values = 0.22–0.77). Main effects of balance, range of motion, and strength on Functional Movement Screen scores were observed (P &lt; .05); however, little evidence was found to suggest that these attributes mediated load-related decreases in Functional Movement Screen item scores. Conclusions Balance, range of motion, and strength affected movement quality but did not mediate the effect of the load treatment.

This article explores community well-being (CWB) outcomes of institutional trust (and distrust) through entrepreneurship in the context of a refugee-hosting society in Turkey. Existing studies show the positive relationship between institutional trust and quality of life (QOL) as well as entrepreneurship and QOL in subsistence contexts. This research, however, explores the relationship between institutional (dis)trust and entrepreneurship on a path to CWB with a special emphasis on refugee and local interactions in the marketplace. Three different paths to the QOL of refugees and/or locals are presented, but only two lead to CWB outcomes encompassing both refugees and locals. Consideration of refugees and locals as both consumers and business owners provides perspective on the interplay between social trust and institutional trust in a socio-culturally heterogeneous subsistence context. The article also discusses implications for theory and practice.

Parole officers are an integral part of parolees’ reentry process and success. Few studies, however, have examined whether the quality of the relationship between parolees and their parole officer influences outcomes such as recidivism. This study assesses how recidivism is affected by the quality of the relationship that parolees have with their parole officers. Using the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) dataset, we use parolees’ perceptions of their relationship with their parole officer to determine whether they have established a positive or negative relationship, and whether these types of relationships differentially affect recidivism. Results show that parolees who have a negative relationship with their parole officer have higher rates of recidivism, while a positive relationship lowers parolees’ likelihood of recidivating. An implication of this study emphasizes parole officer training that develops positive, high-quality relationships with parolees. Further implications are discussed below.
