Psychological Coping

La danza es la actividad física artística por excelencia y ejerce una enorme tensión psicológica para los que lo practican. Son casi inexistentes los estudios que se interesan por conocer qué particularidades del entorno de la danza son las adecuadas para que los bailarines se desarrollen de forma óptima. Este estudio analiza las diferencias que existen en las estrategias de afrontamiento psicológico entre los bailarines de Danza Española y Flamenco de las mejores compañías españolas, siendo el único en conseguir este tipo de muestra. Para ello participaron un total de 14 Compañías Profesionales de danza con gran prestigio nacional. A todos ellos se les aplicó el Cuestionario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento (ACSI-28) de Graupera, Ruiz, García y Smith (2011). Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en todos los factores del cuestionario, siendo la Compañía de Sara Baras la que obtuvo los mejores resultados a excepción del rendimiento bajo presión. Por lo tanto, este estudio demuestra como es importante proporcionar a los bailarines estrategias eficientes con las que lograr un mayor rendimiento y disfrute de su disciplina.  Abstract. Dancing is the artistic physical activity par excellence. This discipline exerts a psychological strain for those who practice it, but there is scarce evidence on what environmental characteristics are adequate for dancers to evolve in optimum conditions. This study analyses the existing differences in the psychological coping strategies between Spanish Dance and Flamenco dancers from the best Spanish companies. This research is the first in achieving this kind of sample. A total of 14 highly prestigious professional dance companies participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete the Questionnaire of Coping Strategies (ASCI-28) created by Graupera, Ruiz, García and Smith (2011). The results showed significant differences in all the surveyed factors, being Sara Baras Company the one obtaining the best values in all variables, except for the performance under pressure. Therefore, this study shows how important effective strategies are for dancers to meet a higher performance and enjoyment of their discipline.

Professional dancing in São Paulo, Brazil, developed from the 1950s on, with a constant and strong influence from modern dance. As modernism looked disapprovingly at ballet, seeing it as something from the past, prejudice grew in the city toward the form. Directors and choreographers of dance companies currently speak about ballet and contemporary ballet as something that is done, but always by others, never themselves. Even the word “ballet” is avoided, since it seems to diminish the works being discussed, as it became something strictly associated with dance training, and not professional dance. This chapter investigates the roots of ballet in São Paulo, discussing both its origins and the origins of its rejection, while pointing to the recent indications of its newfound public interest.

Introduction: Mandated restrictions on outdoor physical activity (PA) during the coronavirus pandemic disrupted the lifeworld of millions of people and led to a contradictory situation. On the one hand, PA was perceived as risky behaviour, as it might facilitate transmission of the virus. On the other hand, while taking precautions, regular PA was an important tool to promote the population's health during the lockdown.Methods: This paper examines the differences in government restrictions on PA in France, Germany, and Italy during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. We draw on techniques of qualitative content analysis and apply a critical theoretical framework to assess the countries' restrictions on PA.Results: Our analysis shows that the restrictions on PA varied in the three countries, in all three countries. This variance is attributed both to differences in the timing and severity of the pandemic in the countries analysed, as well as to the divergence in the relationships between the countries' sport and health systems.Conclusion: At the national level, the variance in restrictions on PA reflect the differences in the spread of the coronavirus and in the health systems' understanding of and approach to PA. The global scientific discourse on the pandemic represents a further key influencing factor. The management of the coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated that the extreme complexity of societies in terms of public health, politics, and the economy pose challenges and unsolvable contradictions.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the first cause of death in Indonesia. The prevalence of stroke based on diagnosis rose from 7 (2013) to 10.9 per mil (2018), The prevalence of cardiovascular disease is 1.5 per mil. Research on the detection of risk factors for cardiovascular disease using a cardiovascular risk score according to WHO and the Jakarta Score has never been conducted in Palembang. The purpose of this study is to conduct early detection of risk factors to predict cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years, and find out the relationship between obesity, physical activity to reduce cholesterol.Methods: This research was conducted using an observational analytic study with cross sectional design and multistage sampling method. Samples in this study were 126 people from 3 village in Kertapati district in Palembang City.Result: The research showed that high level risk to cardiovascular disease in 10 years by using WHO non laboratory, laboratory and Jakarta Score was 4,8%, 6,7%, 61,9% respectively. Whereas, the moderate risk was 20%, 26,2% and 25,4%. There was no association between obesity and total cholesterol (p=0.682), but there was an association between physical activity and total cholesterol (p=0.030, OR 3,1). Moreover, there was a total cholesterol’s mean difference between none/mild, moderate, and severe physical activity that is 36,6 mg/dl (t test, p-value: 0,005).Conclusion: Lack of physical activity could be the one of cholesterol risk factor. Therefore, doing the physical activity could prevent the cardiovascular disease.

Background. Active modes of transport like walking and cycling have been shown to be valuable contributions to daily physical activity. The current study investigates associations between personal and neighbourhood environmental characteristics and active transport among inhabitants of Dutch deprived districts.Method. Questionnaires about health, neighbourhoods, and physical activity behaviour were completed by 742 adults. Data was analysed by means of multivariate linear regression analyses.Results. Being younger, female, and migrant and having a normal weight were associated with more walking for active transport. Being younger, male, and native Dutch and having a normal weight were associated with more cycling for active transport. Neighbourhood characteristics were generally not correlated with active transport. Stratified analyses, based on significant person-environment interactions, showed that migrants and women walked more when cars did not exceed maximum speed in nearby streets and that younger people walked more when speed of traffic in nearby streets was perceived as low. Among migrants, more cycling was associated with the perceived attractiveness of the neighbourhood surroundings.Discussion and Conclusion. Results indicated that among inhabitants of Dutch deprived districts, personal characteristics were associated with active transport, whereas neighbourhood environmental characteristics were generally not associated with active transport. Nevertheless, interaction effects showed differences among subgroups that should be considered in intervention development.

Background:Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) who are more physically active experience less pain and better physical functioning.1Psychological factors such as anxiety and depression are associated with physical functioning and reduction of Quality of Life (QoL).2Furthermore, evasive coping strategies are commonly used in health-related coping.3However, as far as we know, no data is available regarding the influence of coping strategies, anxiety and depression on daily physical activity in axSpA.Objectives:To determine if coping strategies, anxiety and depression are associated with daily physical activity in patients with axSpA.Methods:Consecutive outpatients from the Groningen Leeuwarden AxSpA cohort (GLAS) participated in this study. Additionally to the standardized follow-up assessments, patients filled out the axSpA-Short Questionnaire to assess health-enhancing physical activity (axSpA-SQUASH), the Coping with Rheumatic Stressors (CORS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to explore associations of copings strategies, anxiety and depression, and patient- and disease related factors with daily physical activity. Additionally, patients were stratified into three tertiles of physical activity: low, intermediate and high. To identify group differences, Kruskal-Wallis test or Chi-Square test were used with post-hoc testing.Results:In total 85 patients were included; 59% were male, mean age was 49±14, median symptom duration 19.5 years (IQR 12.0-31.0), 71% were HLA-B27 positive and mean ASDAS was 2.1±1.0. Median axSpA-SQUASH total physical activity score was 9406.3 (IQR 5538.8–12081.3). Median scores of HADS-Anxiety (scale 7-28) and HADS-Depression (scale 7-28) were scores of 12 (IQR 10.0-14.0) and 10(IQR 9.0-12.5). The mostly frequently used coping strategie was comforting cognitions (for pain, range 9-36); median of 25.5 (IQR 22.0-28.0).Univariable analysis showed that lower daily physical activity was significantly associated with gender (female), higher disease activity (BASDAI), worse physical function (BASFI), worse quality of life (ASQoL), coping strategies ‘decreasing activities’ and ‘pacing’, higher depression score (HADS) and higher perceived influence of axSpA on general well-being. In multivariable analysis, only the coping strategy “decreasing activity” was independently associated with physical activity (β: -419.3, R2: 0.155, P<0.001). Additionally, patients in the highest physical activity tertile were significantly more often male, had higher working status, lower BASDAI and ASDAS, better BASFI and ASQoL and scored lower on the coping strategy “decreasing activities”.Conclusion:In this cross-sectional study in axSpA patients with established disease, multiple patient and disease related factors were associated with daily physical activity. The evasive coping strategy ‘decreasing activities’ was the only independently associated factor. These findings suggest that to improve daily physical activity in axSpA patients attention should be paid not only on targeting disease activity, but also to other patient and disease related aspects, especially coping strategies used.References:[1]Regel A et al.RMD Open. 2017;3(1):e000397.[2]Kilic G et al.Med (United States). 2014;93(29):e337.[3]Peláez-Ballestas I et al.Med (United States). 2015;94(10):e600.Acknowledgments:The authors would like to thank all patients who participated in the GLAS cohort.Disclosure of Interests:Marlies Carbo: None declared, Laura Overbeeke: None declared, Suzanne Arends Grant/research support from: Grant/research support from Pfizer, Yvo Kamsma: None declared, Freke Wink Consultant of: Abbvie, Janssen, Davy Paap: None declared, Anneke Spoorenberg: None declared

Context: This study analyzed whether self-efficacy (SE) and perceived environmental characteristics (EC) are determinants of the decline in physical activity (PA) time in adolescents. Methods: This used longitudinal observational approach, with 4 years of data collection, involving 355 adolescents (57.7% girls and 42.3% boys), average age of 11.8 years (0.1 y), from João Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil. SE and EC were measured by scales and PA by a questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression was used to associate SE and EC with a decline in PA. Results: There was a linear trend toward a decrease in average PA duration (58.3 [13.7] min/wk/y) and a rise in average access to places for PA (point per year) (0.6 [0.1]), urban safety (0.2 [0.1]), and traffic safety scores (0.5 [0.1]). The results of multivariable analysis indicated that SE and EC were not associated with the decline in PA. Conclusion: There was a decline in PA time, and SE and perceived EC were not determinants of this decline.

Very high results, the achievement of which is possible only with long systematic train-ing with the use of large and sometimes excessive physical activity characterizes modern sports. The preparation process from beginner to master of sports takes an average of 5–10 years. During this time, the athlete must develop and improve special physical and mental qualities, as well as master certain motor skills specific to this sport. Therefore, children's and youth's organisms of athletes are subject to increased loads, especially in classes that develop endurance. But not always physical activity contributes to the strengthening of the body, sometimes excessive loads, especially with the wrong approach, lead to complications from the cardiovascular system, in particular, to changes in heart rate. Therefore, the issue of adapting the functions of the heart of young athletes to muscle loads becomes increasingly important. The purpose of the work was to study the activities of the cardiovascular system of skiers-riders in the preparatory period of the one-year cycle. Currently, various methods of functional diagnosis of the cardiovascular system are used. We considered the results obtained during electrocardiographic examination of skiers-riders. We investigated electrical activity of the heart and presented model characteristics according to the considered indicators.

Amaniyea Payne, dancer/choreographer and Artistic Director of Muntu Dance Theatre, offers her reflections on Muntu’s more than four decades in Chicago, Illinois. There, in mid-west U.S.A., Muntu shines a bright and powerful light on African dance, due in major part to its artistic and educational vision, which has been influenced by Payne’s artistic research and global dance connections. Her research and artistic experiences display the seminal connections among Diaspora dance artists, highlighting their similar concerns regarding education of African, diasporic, and non-African peoples. Payne and Muntu exemplify the characteristic duality of professional African-based dance companies in the U.S.: on the one hand, she and the company develop and present fascinating, contemporary choreographies using traditional African vocabularies and on the other hand, they are enmeshed in educational projects and neighborhood and community development through dance.
