Strength training does not constitute women’s favourite physical activity. It is demonstrated in the survey conducted by Budzyńska at the University of Szczecin in 2013 among students of the Pedagogical Faculty. Only 1% of the surveyed students showed interest in strength training. The vision of a bodybuilding silhouette discourages women from taking up strength training. It is displayed in the survey conducted by Zaustowska in 2001 among junior high school students. Out of 78 respondents, 71 stated that they did not like the muscular figure. These fears are unfounded since a woman’s body is not disposed to achieve a bodybuilding figure. It depends on the structural, morphological and biochemical properties of one’s body. Some women who practice bodybuilding rely on strength training additionally supporting the growth of muscle mass with nutrients. This paper presents the advantages of applying strength training in everyday physical activity. These include fat reduction and a slim figure. Furthermore, the result of strength training is a relative increase in muscle mass and strength development. Another benefit of this form of activity is the strengthening of the structures which stabilize joints and bones thus reducing the risk of injury. The duration of static exercise depends on the applied load. Due to the short duration of static effort and relatively high strength commitment, energy for working muscles comes from anaerobic changes. ATP, phosphocreatine and a small amount of glycogen which are hydrolyzed. During the static exercise blood pressure and heart rate are increased. These changes are dependent on the size of the strength developed to oppose resistance. A heavy load used during the static exercise often causes reflex respiratory arrest, a dangerous phenomenon resulting in fainting during the exercise.

The Relationship

Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron: 1) Evaluar la relación entre la intención de práctica de actividad física en el tiempo libre con la satisfacción con la Educación Física y con la vida; y 2) analizar si existen diferencias en la intención de práctica de actividad física en el tiempo libre de los estudiantes, en la satisfacción con la Educación Física y con la vida en función del género y del país de procedencia. Participaron en el estudio 1137 estudiantes de educación secundaria obligatoria pertenecientes a centros públicos de España y México. Del total de la muestra, 457 fueron adolescentes mexicanos, de los cuales 246 eran chicas y 210 chicos. El resto de la muestra estuvo conformada por 680 adolescentes españoles, de los cuales 341 eran chicas y 339 chicos. Se utilizó un cuestionario compuesto por las siguientes escalas: Satisfacción con la materia de Educación Física, Satisfacción con la vida e Intención de Práctica de Actividad Física en el Tiempo Libre. Los análisis estadísticos que se realizaron fueron descriptivos, correlación de Spearman y la prueba de U de Mann-Withney, con el SPSS v.22. Los resultados revelaron diferencias significativas en función del sexo y en función del país. Adicionalmente, se encontró una relación positiva entre la satisfacción con la Educación Física con la intención de práctica y una relación negativa entre el aburrimiento con la educación física y la intención de práctica de actividad física en el tiempo libre. Abstract. The purposes of the present study were: 1) Assess the relationship between intention to practice physical activity in leisure time and physical education and life satisfaction; and 2) analyze the differences of the intention of practice physical activity in students' free time, satisfaction with physical education and life according to gender and origin. The participants of the study were 1137 Junior High School students belonging to public centers of Spain and Mexico. From the total sample, 457 were Mexican adolescents, of which 246 were girls and 210 boys. The rest of the sample was composed by 680 Spanish adolescents, 341 of which were girls and 339 boys. A questionnaire composed of the following scales was employed: Satisfaction with the Physical Education subject, Satisfaction with life and Intent of Practice of Physical Activity in Free Time. Descriptive statistical analysis with Spearman correlation and Mann-Whitney U test were applied according to the aims of the study and carried out with the SPSS v.22 software. The results showed significant differences in function of sex and country of origin. Additionally, a positive relationship between satisfaction with physical education and intention to practice, and a negative relationship between physical education boredom with the intention of practicing physical activity in free time were found.

This study was aimed at examining physical activity differences in each phase of SEM through badminton. The method used in this study was experimental research method with factorial design. Participants of this study were 40 junior high school students chosen through simple random sampling technique. The study used Polar RC3 GPS as the research instrument. The data analysis techniques used in the study was One-Way ANOVA. The result of the study found differences in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in each phase of SEM through badminton games. The finding also showed that the achievement of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in the badminton game tends to decrease in the final stage.

The Relationship

Objective: This study aims to investigate whether physical activity can promote students’ prosocial behavior by analyzing the relationship between sports participation and the prosocial behavior of junior high school students. Methods: Based on the 2014–2015 China education panel survey (CEPS), the relationship between regular athletic sports and prosocial behavior was evaluated among eighth-grade students by ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation and propensity score matching (PSM) and the relationship between OLS and PSM was evaluated by Rosenbaum’s bounds test for a robustness test; the observations were analyzed for heterogeneity to identify those who benefit more from sports. Results: The OLS results showed that sporting behavior increased prosocial behavior scores by 4%, and the PSM results showed that regular physical exercise increased students’ prosocial behavior tendencies by over 0.2 standard deviations from the mean prosocial behavior score (standardized). According to the Rosenbaum’s bounds test, the estimates were robust and reliable, and the results of the heterogeneity analysis showed that with males and students whose fathers had more than 9 years of education, the students showed more significant improvements in prosocial behavior. Conclusion: Physical activity has a significant positive effect on students’ prosocial behavior, and gender and the father’s education are significantly related to prosocial behavior.

The Individual

Background:Increasing access and opportunity for physical activity (PA) in schools are effective; however, not everyone experiences the same effects. Prompting and reinforcement may encourage more frequent participation in recreational PA during the school day. The purpose of this study was to investigate a lunchtime PA intervention on whole school PA participation and whether behavioral support enhanced these effects.Methods:A modified reversal design compared an environmental and an environmental plus behavioral support intervention on lunchtime PA participation versus baseline levels in a suburban junior high school in the western United States (N = 1452). PA and related contextual data were collected using systematic observation.Results:Significantly more girls and boys were observed in PA during the interventions compared with baseline phases (F2,1173 = 13.52, P < .0001, η2 = .023; F2,1173 = 20.14, P < .0001, η2 = .033, for girls and boys, respectively). There were no significant differences between the environmental phase and the environment plus behavioral support phase.Conclusion:Providing access and opportunity significantly increased the number of girls and boys observed in PA during a lunchtime program, with no additive effects of behavioral support. Further research into providing the individual-level contingencies at an institutional level is needed.
