El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la práctica de actividad física (AF), la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (DM), las capacidades y dificultades y la calidad de vida (CV) según el sexo y el nivel de AF, así como la asociación de las variables independientes de nuestro estudio (la práctica de AF, la DM y el comportamiento) con la CV de estudiantes de segundo ciclo de E. Primaria. Un total de 114 niños y niñas de 3º y 4º de E. Primaria de escuelas públicas Manuel Pérez, Las Viñas y Reyes Católicos se ofrecieron a participar en el estudio. La AF fue determinada a través del cuestionario PAQ-A, la adherencia a la DM se determinó mediante cuestionario KIDMED, el comportamiento a través del SDQ-Cas, y la CV con el Kidscreen-27. Se observó la misma práctica de AF en niños y en niñas. Los niños mostraron más hiperactividad y las niñas una mayor conducta prosocial. La alta AF se relacionó significativamente con CV pero no con las capacidades y dificultades ni con la DM. Por último, el análisis de regresión lineal multivariado mostró que una alta AF y la DM se asociaron con el bienestar físico y el entorno escolar. Las capacidades y dificultades se asociaron con las dimensiones del bienestar físico, psicológico, entorno escolar y amigos/social. Finalmente, una alta AF y las capacidades y dificultades estuvieron de igual modo asociadas con la CV global.Abstract. The present study had the aim of determining the practice of physical activity (PA), the adherence to  the Mediterranean Diet (MD), strengths and difficulties, and quality of life (QoL) by gender and level of PA of the subjects, as well as the association of the independent variables of our study (PA, adherence to MD, and  behaviours) with QoL in students of the second cycle of Primary Educaction. A total of 114 children from 3rd and 4th grade of Primary Education at the public schools Manuel Pérez, Las Viñas, and Reyes Católicos, voluntarily participated in the study. PA was analysed through the PAQ-A questionnaire, adherence to MD was analysed through the KIDMED questionnaire, behaviours through the SDQ-Cas, and QoL through Kidscreen-27. The same levels of PA were observed in boys and girls. Boys showed more hyperactivity and girls showed higher prosocial conducts. High PA was significantly related with QoL but not with strengths and difficulties or with MD. Finally, based on a multivariate linear regression analysis, high PA and MD were associated with physical well-being and the school environment. Strengths and difficulties were associated with physical and psychological well-being, school environment, and friends/social. Also, high PA and strengths and difficulties were associated with global QoL.

Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) has beneficial effects on health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), which is a protective factor of illness and mortality. The purpose of this examination was to investigate if self-reported and device-based measures of PA were related to HRQoL in adolescents. Methods Participants (N = 1565; 54.3% female; Mage = 14.37 years, SDage = 1.99) were recruited from 167 sample points across Germany. Adolescents self-reported their PA, supplemented by a 1-week examination of device-based PA using accelerometry. Additionally, they completed the multidimensional KIDSCREEN-27 to assess HRQoL. Results Results showed that self-reported PA was correlated with overall HRQoL, Physical Well-Being, Psychological Well-Being, Social Support & Peers, and School Environment, whereas device-based PA was only correlated with Physical as well as Psychological Well-Being. Further, self-reported PA significantly predicted all facets of HRQoL except for Autonomy and Parent Relations, whereas device-based PA solely heightened the amount of explained variance in the Physical Well-Being subscale. Conclusions Findings demonstrate the importance of self-reported PA as it is related to almost all facets of HRQoL. Both measures of PA are not congruent in their relationship with HRQoL and thus implications have to be carefully considered. Future studies should investigate the direct effect of PA on HRQoL and health in a longitudinal approach to account for the causality of effects.

This paper examines factors associated with physical activity and health status among the 796 subjects aged 55 and older who appear in both the 1981 Canada Fitness Survey (CFS) and The Campbell’s Survey on Well-Being (CSWB), a longitudinal follow-up to the CFS. The CSWB can provide information about changes in physical activity patterns and health between 1981 and 1988. Although nonresponse to the overall survey was low, item nonresponse was problematic in some cases. Approximately 50% of the sample were not assessed on physical fitness measures (e.g., body mass index), while 14% and 38% refused to answer questions concerning alcohol consumption and family income, respectively. Of specific interest are the relationships of physical activity levels and self-rated health with socio-economic status, age, gender, smoking history, alcohol consumption, and measures of body composition.

The Impact

The purpose of this study was to identify students’ perspectives of the role of healthy behaviours in their well-being and school success. Since a number of studies focused on establishing the link between healthy behaviours and learning have relied on quantitative measures, it was deemed important to provide a different perspective on the topic and give students a voice. Participants were 50 Aotearoa/New Zealand nine- and 10-year-old students of various ethnic backgrounds from two elementary schools. Using situated learning theory to determine the impact a school environment that promotes physical activity has on students’ perspectives, four categories were drawn from student focus-group interviews: (1) opportunities to be active, (2) roles of physical activity, (3) students’ misconceptions of health concepts, and (4) students’ support for health education and physical education at their schools. Students in this study were afforded multiple opportunities to be physically active and acknowledged the benefits these bouts of activities gave them while differentiating the types of opportunities and value they gained from them. Within their community of practice, students were sometimes ‘full’ participants as their knowledge was fully constructed, and sometimes ‘peripheral’ participants, needing more time, active engagement and content knowledge to better grasp some concepts. Little health education content knowledge was provided to classroom teachers, which might have caused some of the misconceptions held by students related to the impact of physical activity and nutrition on their brain function.

The benefits of physical activity (PA) on children’s health and well-being are well established. However, many children do not meet the PA recommendations, increasing their risk of being overweight, obese, and non-communicable diseases. Environmental characteristics of homes and neighborhoods may constrain a child’s ability to engage in PA, but evidence is needed to inform country-specific interventions in understudied low-income countries. This study assessed the associations between parental-perceived home and neighbourhood, built environment characteristics, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among children in Kampala city, Uganda. In this cross-sectional study, data were obtained from 256 children (55.5% girls) aged between 10 and 12 years and their parents. Children’s MVPA was measured using waist-worn ActiGraph accelerometers. The environments were assessed using a valid self-reported parent survey. Linear regression models with standard errors (clusters) were used to analyze the relationship between environmental variables and children’s MVPA. Sex-specific relationships were assessed using sex-stratified models. Play equipment at home (β = -2.37, p <0.001; unexpected direction), residential density (β = 2.70, p<0.05), and crime safety (β = -5.29, p <0.05; unexpected direction) were associated with children’s MVPA. The sex-specific analyses revealed more inconsistent patterns of results with a higher perception of land use mix associated with less MVPA in girls (irrespective of school type attended), and higher perceptions of sidewalk infrastructure (β = -12.01, p <0.05) and walking and cycling infrastructure (β = -14.72, p <0.05) associated with less MVPA in girls attending public schools only. A better perception of crime safety was associated with less MVPA among boys and girls attending private schools (β = -3.80, p <0.05). Few environmental characteristics were related to children’s MVPA in Uganda, and findings were largely inconsistent, especially among girls. Future studies are needed to understand the ecological determinants of health-related PA behaviors among children in Uganda.

Resumen. La práctica regular de actividad física es uno de los elementos que determinan la calidad de vida de las personas. En este sentido, la Organización Mundial de la Salud define como parámetros mínimos para población adulta entre 18 y 64 años la realización de 150 minutos semanales de actividad física aeróbica moderada, 75 minutos de actividad física vigorosa o una combinación equivalente de ambas. En este estudio se ha analizado la influencia que la metodología por desafío presenta en la consecución de dichas recomendaciones. Para ello, han participado 80 estudiantes (13 hombres y 67 mujeres) de los grados universitarios de Magisterio en Educación Primaria (52) y en Educación Infantil (28) de la Facultad de Educación (Universidad de Zaragoza), con una media de edad de 21.5±.83 años. Fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en tres grupos experimentales: grupo uno, con medidas tradicionales de promoción de actividad física; grupo dos, disponiendo de aplicaciones para dispositivos móviles; grupo tres, utilizando pulseras de actividad física. Se utilizó el cuestionario IPAQ para comprobar la cantidad de actividad física realizada. De forma específica se empleó el cuestionario AMPEF para valorar las razones de aumento del ejercicio físico. Los resultados muestran una mejora en el número de estudiantes que cumple con las recomendaciones saludables después de siete semanas. El factor desafío aparece como una razón destacable en los tres grupos experimentales. Los grupos dos y tres destacan la inmediatez de la información facilitada por las herramientas TIC, que permite un mayor control y seguimiento de los retos de práctica planteados. Abstract. Regular practice of physical activity is one of the elements that determine people’s quality of life. In this respect, the World Health Organization defines 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic physical activity, 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both, as minimum parameters for the adult population aged between 18 and 64 years old. In this study we analyzed the influence that a challenge methodology has on the achievement of these recommendations. To this end, 80 students (13 men and 67 women) from the university degrees in Teaching in Primary School Education (52) and Nursery School Education (28) of the Faculty of Education (University of Zaragoza), with an average age of 21.5±.83 years old, participated in the study. They were randomly distributed into three experimental groups: group one, with traditional measures to promote physical activity; group two, using applications for mobile devices; group three, using physical activity bracelets. The IPAQ questionnaire was used to collect data on the amount of physical activity performed. Specifically, reasons for increased physical exercise were collected using the AMPEF questionnaire. The results showed an improvement in the number of students fulfilling the healthy recommendations after seven weeks. The challenge factor appears as a remarkable reason in the three experimental groups. Groups two and three highlighted the immediacy of the information provided by the ICT tools, which allows greater control and monitoring of the exercise challenges posed.

El propósito de esta investigación fue analizar el conocimiento conceptual sobre hábitos saludables mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario. Participaron en la investigación 1163 alumnos (610 chicos y 553 chicas) de Educación Primaria. El cuestionario constó de 57 preguntas agrupadas en ocho bloques. Los resultados indican que el alumnado posee un nivel de conocimientos sobre hábitos saludables por encima del aprobado, destacando en las dimensiones “Higiene corporal” (M 87.22 DS 17.41) y “Hábitos alimenticios” (M 81.60 DS 10.30). Sin embargo, las dimensiones con menor puntuación son “Condición Física” (M 34.24 DS 23.02) y “Prevención de accidentes y conocimiento de primeros auxilios” (M 38.72 DS 24.18), por lo que sería conveniente incluir más programas para su mejora. Además, se constatan diferencias altamente significativas (p<0.01) a partir de tres horas dedicadas a la actividad física. Se establece una relación positiva entre la práctica de la actividad física y el conocimiento de los hábitos de salud para la mejora de la calidad de vida en los estudiantes. === The objective of this investigation was to analyze the conceptual knowledge with regards to healthy habits using a questionnaire method. 1163 pupils participated in the investigation (610 boys and 553 girls) from Primary Education. The questionnaire included 57 questions, which were grouped into eight blocks. The results indicate that pupils have a higher than average knowledge of health habits, particularly in the areas of “Personal hygiene” (M 87.22 SD 17.41) and “Eating habits” (M 81.60 SD 10.30). However, the areas with the lowest scores are “Physical condition” (M 34.24 SD 23.02) and “Accident prevention and first aid knowledge” (M 38.72 SD 24.18), so it would be necessary to include more programs to improve such areas. Furthermore, highly significant differences (p<0.01) can be found from three hours dedicated to physical activity. A positive relationship is established between physical activity and knowledge of health habits to improve the quality of life of school children.

The aim of this study is to explore the Subjective well-being (SWB) of school-going adolescents in Uruguay (N= 325; Mage= 14.67; SD= 1.62). We investigate age- and gender-specific relationships between psychopathology and substance use on the one hand, and subjective well-being on the other hand. Multivariate linear regression analyses, indicated five significant predictors of SWB: three psychopathology factors (depression-anxiety, social anxiety and dissocial behaviour), and age displayed a negative association, while one psychopathology factor (resilience) showed a positive association. When extending the multivariate linear regression analysis with interaction effects, significant interactions appeared regarding gender and resilience and age and substance use. Our study focuses on the necessity to have evidence-based results in order to plan appropriate preventive interventions with adolescents.

(1) Background: Children with greater physical activity (PA) may show a higher physical fitness (PF) and motor competence (MC) compared to peers with less PA. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), PF, and MC in 8- to 9-year old children in Germany and China. MVPA was differentiated into five PA settings: family sport, club training, school sport, leisure sport, and outside play. (2) Methods: This longitudinal study comprised N = 577 children (n = 311 girls, n = 266 boys) who were studied over a one-year period. Each child’s PF and MC was determined using sports motor tests. The children’s PAs were measured using a questionnaire. (3) Results: The children’s PA was positively associated with PF and MC. The MVPA-settings: family sport, leisure sport, outside play, school, and club sport, explained between 18 and 23 percent of the variance in selected PF and MC characteristics in a multivariate linear regression analysis. (4) Conclusions: An increase in the children’s MVPA might be an appropriate aim in the school sport in Germany as well as in the club sport system in China. Furthermore, family sport should be enhanced in Germany and outside play activities in China, respectively.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels and mental health in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Three hospitals in the Seoul metropolitan area were invited to recruit patients with SCI (n = 103). PA levels were measured by the Leisure Score Index of the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ). The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were used to assess mental health. Results: Compared to the least physically active participants (1st tertile, 44.09 ± 52.74 min/week), the most physically active participants (3rd tertile, 670.86 ± 354.97 min/week) scored significantly lower on PHQ-9 (17.03 ± 5.70 vs. 12.49 ± 4.01, p < 0.001), GAD-7 (13.24 ± 4.78 vs. 9.86 ± 3.15, p < 0.001), while significantly higher MSPSS (51.24 ± 10.17 vs. 61.37 ± 11.90, p < 0.001) after the results were adjusted for age, gender, American Spinal Cord Injury Association impairment scale, and impaired spinal cord levels. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the PA was a significant predictor of depression (β = −1.50, p = 0.01), anxiety (β = −1.12, p = 0.02), and social support (β = 4.04, p = 0.01). Conclusion: Higher PA participation was associated with lower depression, anxiety, and higher social support scores.

ABSTRACTProfiles of customary physical activity (CPA) and psychological wellbeing were obtained from a random community sample of 1,042 individuals aged 65 years and over. Activities were assessed with regard to their estimated minimum energy cost and/or their assumed contribution to functional capacity. The structure of CPA, and associations between activity levels, morale and mental health were then investigated. Women and men showed clear differences in the organisation of their activity patterns, and these differences were reflected in activity–affect relationships. For men, factor scores derived from the first principal component of CPA emerged as significant, though modest, predictors of well-being in regression and discriminant analyses. For women, however, activity factor scores failed significantly to predict levels of morale or mental health when medical and demographic factors were controlled. The results indicate that, among the present cohort of retired and elderly people, relationships between customary physical activity levels and psychological well-being are weak, indirect and gender-specific.
