Physical Activity Levels

This study intended to measure the cognitive behavioral physical activity levels of students aged 17-18 enrolled at different schools. The study population was comprised of the 17-18 age group and the study sample was comprised of 159 students in total n:76 (47.8%) enrolled at 15 Temmuz Şehitler Sports High School and n:83 (52.2%) enrolled at Cumhuriyet Anatolian High School in the province of Niğde. The data was analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and the confidence level was 95%. According to the Kolmogrow Smirnov analysis, t and ANOVA tests were used as the participants’ cognitive behavioral physical activity scores had normal distribution (p>0.05) and Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used as result expectation, self-regulation and personal obstacles subdimension scores did not have normal distribution (p<0.05).  According to the study results, there was no significant difference between the students enrolled at the Sports High School and the Anatolian High School. There was significant difference between the participants aged 17 and 18 considering cognitive behavioral physical activity by school. There was significant difference between the female and male participants in terms of Personal Obstacles. Accordingly, females had higher Personal Obstacles. Considering cognitive behavioral physical activity by gender, there was significant difference between the female and male participants in terms of cognitive behavioral physical activity. Accordingly, males had higher Cognitive Behavioral Physical Activity.

Psychological Need Satisfaction

Abstract Presumably, individuals are taught skills throughout their primary education that are required to live a healthy lifestyle throughout the lifespan. The primary purpose of this study was to assess adult psychological need satisfaction in relation to high school participation. Participation included university employees and students of two mid-sized universities and members of a state health organization. Participants (n = 512) completed the Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise (PNSE) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The current study found modest associations between measured motivation constructs on physical activity levels. Standardized coefficients report competence and autonomy had a significant effect on physical activity in predicting adult physical activity levels. Results of this study provide insight into the determinants underlying the development of physical activity tendencies in adults and suggest high school physical education and sport participation have an equal influence on adult physical activity levels.

Physical Activity Levels

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which sport education can provide students with sufficient opportunities for developing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Nineteen seventh-grade boys (average age = 12.9 yrs.) participated in a 22-lesson season of floor hockey. For all students (both higher and lower skilled), students averaged a total of 31.6 min of MVPA during the season, or 63.2% of lesson time. Further, there was no significant difference according to skill level {33.4 min (Higher) vs. 30.4 min (Lower), nor were there any significant differences in MVPA levels across the phases of the season.

The Relationship

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the relationship between baseline depression and prospective engagement in walking and exercise behavior after enrollment in an exercise intervention. Methods: The study used baseline, 1-month, 12-month, and 24-month in-person interview and pedometer data collected from Latinos aged >60 years participating in an exercise intervention (¡ Caminemos!) at 27 senior centers ( n = 572). Results: After joining an exercise intervention, and when using continuous pedometer data and scores from the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS) as the outcomes of interest, older adults with baseline depression exhibited comparable levels of physical activity across time when compared to their nondepressed counterparts. Significant difference in physical activity levels between the depressed and nondepressed subgroups no longer existed within one month of initiating the exercise intervention. Discussion: Among sedentary older Latino adults, having depression may not delay exercise initiation nor does it appear to prevent achievement or maintenance of an exercise program.

Physical Activity Levels

Abstract Background One of the most important consequences of COVID-19 pandemic is anxiety and stress in the general population that can be reduced by regular physical activity. The aim of this study was to estimate the physical activity levels and mood state during covid-19 quarantine among the Kermanshah population. Methods In this cross-sectional study, using the purposeful random sampling method, a total of 2471 subjects ((male (n = 1256) and female (n = 1215)) were selected. To assess the physical activity level from physical activity questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) and mood state was measured by the abbreviated form of the Iranian version of the standard POMS questionnaire (Bill Morgan 1979). The descriptive statistic method (mean, standard deviation, and percent), deductive (Chi- square and Spearman's correlation) were used for analyzing the data. Results The results showed that a significant difference was observed between the number of sessions (P = 0.001), intensity (P = 0.001), and duration of exercise (P = 0.001) before and during coronavirus. There are significant positive relationships between low (r = 0.93; P = 0.001) and high (r = 0.673; P = 0.034) levels of physical activity and negative mood state, and a positive relationship between moderate physical activity level (r = 0.82; P = 0.001) and positive mood state. Conclusions It could be determined that the current quarantine has negatively affected the mood state. In general, to prevent COVID-19, regular physical activity is recommended under the health and safety protocols.

Reported Data

Whilst regular physical activity benefits our health, both physically and mentally, many people do not meet recommended activity levels - often because of a lack of enjoyment, motivation or spare time. The current study investigated whether the COVID-19 government-enforced lockdown in the UK in March 2020 (which saw many furloughed from their work and only able to leave the house to exercise or for essentially activities) influenced physical activity habits. An initial survey collected data around physical activity levels (both self-reported and via smart device activity trackers) for the week preceding lockdown and a week during lockdown. It also collected data on mental wellbeing during lockdown. A second survey collected the same measures (plus questions regarding motivations to exercise) once the lockdown restrictions eased and non-essential shops reopened. Analyses indicated that lockdown significantly increased the length of time participants spent engaging in physical activity compared to pre-lockdown levels, though metabolic equivalency and accelerometer data did not see such significant results. There was no statistically significant difference in physical activity levels in the period of eased-lockdown when compared to during-lockdown. Those with the perception of having more spare time during lockdown elicited significant effects in self-reported data, such that those with the perception did greater levels of physical activity than those without. However, when ‘eased lockdown’ data was examined, this was not deemed statistically significant. Correlational analyses examining the relationship between physical activity levels and mental wellbeing showed a significantly weak, positive relationship between self-reported physical activity and mental wellbeing during lockdown. The findings demonstrate that lockdown increased the total time people engaged in physical activity, though the activities were seemingly of low metabolic equivalency. Though when lockdown was eased, these levels did not differ significantly to during lockdown. Results also found that those with spare time during lockdown elicited greater self-reported physical activity levels than previously. The data also supported previous literature outlining the positive relationship between physical activity and wellbeing, despite the extremely negative circumstances that caused the lockdown.

Patients With Diabetes

Background: Diabetes presents a multifaceted challenge to health systems in Nigeria and beyond. Physical activity is a cornerstone of diabetes management but is often underutilised. Despite the positive effects of physical activity on different dimensions of health to patients with diabetes, most fail to maintain long-term adherence to physical activity programmes. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the physical activity level and factors affecting exercise participation among patients with and without diabetes. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 400 participants recruited by convenience sampling. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Exercise Benefit and Barrier Scale (EBBS) questionnaires were used to measure physical activity and perceived benefits and barriers to exercise, respectively. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics of percentages and frequency, mean and standard deviation, and independent t-test. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The majority of the patients with diabetes (71%) had low physical activity levels while 52% of the nondiabetic group were moderately active. There was a significant difference between physical activity levels of patients with diabetes and the nondiabetic group (p<0.05). Physical exertion was reported by both patients with and without diabetes as the greatest barrier to exercise participation. Conclusion: Patients with diabetes in Nigeria have a low level of physical activity and are also faced with certain barriers which limit their participation in exercise programmes. Exercise barrier identification and public awareness on the health benefits of exercise and physical activity in the prevention and management of diabetes should thus be encouraged.

Physical Activity Levels

Background: Physical activity (PA) is a behavioral modality that may help decrease negative symptoms of menopause and enhance some positive aspects of mental health, including self-esteem. Reduced self-esteem may put menopausal women at higher risk of negative outcomes of menopause and result in a more unpleasant and stressful menopausal experience. The objective of this study was to examine the role of physical activity level on self-esteem in middle-aged women. Methods: Women aged 45–60 from Poland took part in this study. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Menopause Rating Scale and Beck Depression Inventory were used in this study. Results: Among the 111 women, the mean age was 51.7 ± 4.7. The most severe symptoms among studied women concerned sexual problems (1.71 ± 1.5), irritability (1.58 ± 1.37) and joint and muscular discomfort (1.56 ± 1.55). Women with higher total PA level had better self-esteem (p = 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that physical activity levels can be associated with self-esteem. Most middle-aged women reported high physical activity levels. These results have clinical implications for the inclusion of PA in the lives of middle-aged women to improve self-esteem and mental health.
