Bullying Victimisation

Physical fitness is related to well-being and health. Adolescence is a key period in the psychological and social development of the person, in which interpersonal relationships gain strength, being bullying a type of violence that can affect the personality of those involved. At present, there is not enough research to determine the relationships between bullying and physical condition. The purpose of this study is to find out if there are any relationships among physical fitness, victimisation, and aggression in bullying, and to identify these behaviours. This is a descriptive study done in 1035 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (M = 14.67, SD = 1.49). The European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (EBIPQ) scale was used, and anthropometric characteristics of weight and height were measured. In addition, physical fitness tests from the Eurofit battery, sit-and-reach, 30-second sit-ups, horizontal jump, manual dynamometry, and 20-meter Multistage Shuttle Run Test (SRT) were included. The relationships between variables were analysed using Spearman correlations, linear regressions, and ordinal regressions. The most relevant findings indicate an inverse relationship between being a victim of bullying and having a better cardiorespiratory cardiovascular endurance. These also show a direct relationship between being a bully and skeletal muscle strength measured through the horizontal jump, 30-second sit-ups, and manual dynamometry tests. Theoretically, we can conclude that physical condition can be considered a predictor to consider in bullying. Specifically, cardiorespiratory fitness, in addition to its multiple physical and mental benefits, may be a protective element against bullying victimisation. In contrast, muscular strength, especially in boys, may be an important predictor, especially in the physical component, of aggression in bullying.

Matched Study

The current study examined the differences in health-related physical fitness (HRPF), physical activity (PA), and sedentary behavior (SB) between adolescents with and without ongoing respiratory diseases (RD). This study’s participants were from 12 to 15 years old (7th–10th grade) in South Korea. Adolescents with RD were selected through RD-related questions (i.e., asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, and bronchitis) (n = 139); in contrast, adolescents without RD, randomly selected from the general group, responded to any health problem-related questions as “No” (n = 139). HRPF was measured based on the FITNESSGRAM and EURO FIT test batteries and the measurements of HRPF included cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. All statistical analyses were conducted by SPSS 25.0, and the independent t-test was used to compare the HRPF and PA between the two groups. Moreover, the measured HRPF was compared with a series of analyses of three-way ANOVAs (age × gender × group). Adolescents with RD had a positive association with less participation in PA (p < 0.05; RD: 3081.81 ± 4793.37; general: 2073.64 ± 3123.47) and with more time spent on SB (above 12 h per week: RD group (38.85%) and general group (33.09%)). Furthermore, adolescents in the RD group showed significant effects on all components of HRPF (p < 0.05). Our study confirmed that HRPF is an essential predictor of adolescents’ health outcomes, especially for those with RD. We suggest that increased HRPF can be an effective treatment for respiratory diseases in adolescents, and health practitioners should pay more attention to helping adolescents with RD to gain or maintain high HRPF.

Although It has been said that Special Olympics competition contributes significantly to the physical fitness and self-concept of mentally retarded participants, no experimental research has been reported on the Special Olympics program. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in self-concept and cardiovascular endurance of mentally retarded youths after participating in a Special Olympics swim training program. One group (N = 25) participated in a 10-week Special Olympics swim training program, while the control group (N = 25) adhered to their normal daily living activities. The 9-Minute Run/Walk test yielded the data for measuring cardiovascular endurance, and the Piers and Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale was selected to measure self-concept. Results of the analysis of variance for each test were significant. It was concluded from the findings of this study that participation of mentally retarded youth in a Special Olympics swim training program contributed to a significant increase in self-concept and cardiovascular endurance.

The present paper is a review of the psychomotor abilities of individuals with visual impairments. It was found that cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, and balance were significantly lower in individuals with visual impairments than in individuals with nonimpaired sight. Differences were found in physical fitness and psychomotor skills among individuals with visual impairments. Those individuals with a later onset of blindness and greater visual acuity performed best. Segregated environments appeared to foster superior physical fitness and psychomotor skills compared to integrated environments. Findings indicated that some physical fitness evaluation instruments produce inaccurate results in testing individuals with visual impairments. Suggestions for future research are included.

Cardiovascular endurance training (CVET), or continuous, whole-body activity involving a major portion of the total muscle mass, is suggested as a positive and feasible activity for blind persons. Evidence is presented that supports CVET as an agent capable of 1) producing adequate levels of physical fitness, 2) reducing to some degree the probability of coronary heart disease, and 3) reducing the effects of the state of anxiety accompanying unguided blind mobility. A program of chair stepping, which may be implemented as a progressive and productive CVET regimen, is described.

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os níveis de aptidão física relacionadas a saúde de escolares 5º ao 9º ano de duas escolas do município de Mafra. Esse manuscrito apresenta dados preliminares do projeto intitulado “Análise de Saúde do Escolar de Mafra” (ASESC). Para tanto, duas escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino foram contempladas em uma população de 900 indivíduos obtendo uma amostra final de 255 escolares. Foram medidos e avaliados dados antropométricos de massa corporal, estatura, perímetro de cintura, dobras cutâneas de tríceps e panturrilha obtendo o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e o percentual de gordura.  Para os testes de aptidão física (flexibilidade, capacidade cardiorrespiratória e força) foram utilizados os propostos da Bateria de Testes do Projeto Esporte Brasil (teste de corrida e caminha dos 6 minutos; teste de sentar e alcançar; número de abdominais em 1 minuto). A amostra obteve uma média de idade de 12,6 (DP=1,24) anos sendo 48,6% (n=124) meninos e 51,4% (n=131) meninas. Dados de IMC revelaram que 27,5% estavam acima do peso. No perímetro de cintura 16,5% estavam em situação de risco e 45,4% encontravam-se com percentual de gordura acima do recomendado. O teste de flexibilidade revelou que 20,4% estavam em situação de risco e no teste de resistência de força 32,9%. No teste de aptidão cardiorrespiratória 35% foram avaliados abaixo do recomendado. Os dados revelam distúrbios da composição corporal e uma prevalência significativa de escolares com aptidão física relacionada à saúde abaixo do recomendado refletindo a necessidade de intervenções em saúde.ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the levels of health related physical fitness in students from 5th to 9th grade from two public schools in the city of Mafra. This manuscript introduces preliminary information about the project titled "Health Analysis of the Schools of Mafra" (ASESC). Therefore, two public schools from the municipal school system of Mafra have been included with a total of 900 subjects, obtaining a final sample of 255 students. Anthropometric data of body mass, height, waist circumference, triceps and calf skinfolds were measured and evaluated, obtaining body mass index (BMI) and percentage of fat. For the physical fitness tests (Flexibility, Cardiovascular Endurance and Strength), the battery test suggested by the Brazilian Sport Project (application of 6-minute-run / walk; sit-and-reach test) has been used. The sample has a mean age of 12.6 years old (DP01,24), being 48.6% (n = 124) boys and 51.4% (n = 131) girls. Classification based on BMI disclosed 27.5% were overweight. For the waist circumference, 16.5% were in the risk zone and 45.4% were above the appropriate percentage of fat. The Flexibility test disclosed that 20.4% were in a high-risk situation and in the test of strength endurance 32.9%. In the cardiovascular endurance tests, 35% were rated below the suitable level. The data on the achievements reveal disorders of body composition and a significant prevalence of students with health-related physical fitness below the recommended level, which reflects the need for health interventions.

Purpose: to study indicators of general and special physical condition on different stages of macro-cycle training. Material: in testing qualified boxers - 28 sportsmen - participated. Characteristics of general and special fitness were registered. Results: it was found that structure of general and special physical qualities can be described by 9 factors, explaining about 80% of total sample variance. It was also determined that factorial structure of general and special physical fitness indicators does not change depending on stages of trainings. At every of the tested stages the marked out factors do not depend on each other. These factors are separate necessary sides of training. It was found that on general preparation stage of training these factors characterize sides of fitness: effectiveness of punches of strong and weak arms; special speed and power endurance; general endurance and strength of muscles (hands’ flexors); specific sensor-motor reaction; condition of upper girdle muscles; general speed and power endurance; speed of punch movement. Conclusions: when distributing training means and loads it is necessary to uniformly doze correlation of means for all marked out factors. It ensures growth of boxers’ spots results.

The Impact

Whole-body electromyostiulation (WB-EMS) has experienced a boom in recent years, even though its effectiveness is controversial. A sedentary lifestyle is deeply rooted in the European population, mainly in the elderly. This experimental study analyzed the impact of WB-EMS on the physical fitness of postmenopausal women. Thirty-four healthy sedentary women between 55 and 69 years followed an experimental design pre–post-test. Both groups conducted a ten-week aerobic and strength training program. The experimental group overlaid the WB-EMS during exercise. At the end of the intervention, both groups improved upper and lower body strength, lower extremity flexibility, agility, and speed levels (pBonferroni < 0.05). Significant interactions were observed at upper and lower body strength, agility, speed, and cardiovascular endurance (p < 0.05). The WB-EMS group scored better agility than the control group at the end of the intervention (pBonferroni < 0.05) and was the only group that improved cardiovascular endurance. WB-EMS shows a favorable isolate effect on the development of dynamic leg strength, agility, and cardiovascular endurance but did not in dynamic arm strength, gait speed, balance, or flexibility of postmenopausal women.
