Opis:
Physical activity is defined as body movement produced by muscle action that increases energy expenditure. The lifestyle of hominids/humans included physical activity. The way of life associated with hunting, gathering, and agriculture. During the Hellenic Age (336-30 B.C.), Sports were considered “physical training for health”, and agonal (competitive) gymnastics were highly regarded. For Romans, some body movements served the purpose as preparation for war and the military. Our young people live in a social and physical environment that makes it easy to be sedentary. The benefits of physical activity for children, though seemingly obvious. Physical activity can reduce anxiety, feelings of stress. A reduction in sedentary behavior can be achieved with minimal financial or time requirements. Positive experiences with physical activity at a young age help lay the basis for being regularly active throughout early and later adulthood. Recommended physical activity guidelines differ according to age group. Performance of a wide variety of physical activities is important for refining already learned motor skills. Sport participation, appropriately directed, could be involved in the development of character, work discipline, teamwork, fair play, and other socially approved characteristics.

Morocco
Opis:
According to various national and international reports, the Moroccan education system still suffers from recurrent dysfunctions reflected in low student achievement. Indeed, different factors influence the scores of students including the rate of physical inactivity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between physical activity, sedentary behaviours and school outcomes. 689 students enrolled at Moroccan secondary schools, aged between 14 and 25, were randomly recruited from each grade. For each student, the overall average for the first semester was calculated and classified into three levels: high, medium and low. The school performance of girls is significantly higher (p< 0.05) than that of boys while boys are significantly more active (p<0.05) than girls. Physically active students have higher overall school mark averages than inactive students. Indeed, significant positive associations between the level of physical activity and school performance (r=0.176; p<0.001) and with physical education and sports performance were noted. In conclusion, the practice of physical activity should be encouraged among Moroccan students. It has beneficial effects on health in general and especially on the school performance of children and adolescents.

Opis:
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between daily physical activity (PA) level and low back pain (LBP) in young women. Material and Methods: Two hundred forty three female, desk-job workers aged 20–40 voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were assessed by the use of Oswestry Disability Index for measuring LBP disability and by the use of the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for PA assessment. The 1-way ANOVA test was used for comparing the mean values according to the physical activity level groups. Correlations between the average LBP disability score and all the other variables were obtained using Pearson’s correlation analysis. The level of statistical significance was p < 0.05. Results: Significant differences were found for LBP disability score between the results of 3 different PA groups (p < 0.05) (low, moderate and high PA groups). The correlation between the average LBP disability score and body weight (r = 0.187, p < 0.01), body mass index (r = 0.165, p < 0.01), vigorous MET score (r = 0.247, p < 0.01) and total PA MET score (r = 0.131, p < 0.01) were significant. Conclusions: The main finding of this study is that there is a U-shaped relationship between PA and LBP disability score in young women. A moderate level of daily physical activity and preventing body weight and fat gain should be recommended in young, female desk-job workers in order to prevent and manage low back pain.

The aim of the study is to assess the physical leisure time activity among the students of grade I–III of junior high school (aged 13–16) – during the school year and holidays – and identify possible causal factors of physical inactivity in this social group. The relationship between participation in sport for all during the school year (regular, periodic, sporadic) and during holidays (physically active/passive) and socio-demographic variables characterizing the structure was analyzed using the Chi 2 test. The relationship between respondents inactivity and those traits was assessed using log-linear analysis. The higher the grade (especially among girls), the more physically inactive individuals, the number of which grew during the school year as well as during holidays. The risk factors for inactivity included high BMI, living in the countryside and female sex. In case of girls (76.3%) the risk of inactivity increased by almost 1.4 times, as it did (OR = 0.75) with regard to living in rural areas (76.4%). The chance of being active increases more than 3-fold among those with normal BMI (28.0%) and the underweight (29.9%). Adolescents’ inactivity (increasing along with the grade pupils are in) points to the shortcomings of Polish process of education and an urgent need for system-based approach to promote active lifestyle in this social group.

Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the multi-instrument assessment of physical activity in female office workers. Material and Methods Fifty healthy women (age (mean ± standard deviation): 34.8±5.9 years, body height: 158±0.4 cm, body weight: 61.8±7.5 kg, body mass index: 24.6±2.7 kg/m²) workers from the same workplace volunteered to participate in the study. Physical activity was measured with the 7-day Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (7-d PAAQ), an objective multi-sensor armband tool, and also a waist-mounted pedometer, which were both worn for 7 days. Results A significant correlation between step numbers measured by armband and pedometer was observed (r = 0.735), but the step numbers measured by these 2 methods were significantly different (10 941±2236 steps/ day and 9170±2377 steps/day, respectively; p < 0.001). There was a weak correlation between the value of 7-d PAAQ total energy expenditure and the value of armband total energy expenditure (r = 0.394, p = 0.005). However, total energy expenditure values measured by armband and 7-d PAAQ were not significantly different (2081±370 kcal/ day and 2084±197 kcal/day, respectively; p = 0.96). In addition, physical activity levels (average daily metabolic equivalents (MET)) measured by armband and 7-d PAAQ were not significantly different (1.45±0.12 MET/day and 1.47±0.24 MET/day, respectively; p = 0.44). Conclusions The results of this study showed that the correlation between pedometer and armband measurements was higher than that between armband measurements and 7-d PAAQ selfreports. Our results suggest that none of the assessment methods examined here, 7-d PAAQ, pedometer, or armband, is sufficient when used as a single tool for physical activity level determination. Therefore, multi-instrument assessment methods are preferable. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2016;29(6):937–945

Introduction: Physical activity is an integral part of human life. Younger school age is a period in which child’s development is conditioned by their activity. Physical stimulation during this period is important from a medical and psychological perspective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of sociodemographic factors on the level of physical activity and ways of spending leisure time by 11-year-old children from the district of Rzeszow. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 313 primary school children from the district of Rzeszow, 75 pupils from the city and 238 from rural areas, 164 girls and 149 boys aged 11. The study was conducted by means of a diagnostic survey in a form of a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. Results: In the study group, no significant statistical differences between a place of residence and a number of days devoted to physical activity by children were found. The most common form of activity in their leisure time were classes at the swimming pool and table tennis. The most popular passive form of leisure was watching TV. Statistically significant differences between gender and the amount of time spent at the computer were found. Boys spent more time at the computer than girls. Conclusions: There was no relationship between social environment and the level of physical activity and the way of spending leisure time in the tested children. Boys spent more time on passive forms of recreation. Statistically significant correlation between gender and time spent at the computer was found.
Wstęp: Aktywność fizyczna jest nieodłącznym elementem życia człowieka. Młodszy wiek szkolny to okres, w którym rozwój dziecka uwarunkowany jest jego aktywnością. Stymulacja fizyczna w tym okresie ma duże znaczenie z medycznego oraz psychologicznego punktu widzenia. Celem pracy była ocena wpływu czynników socjodemograficznych na poziom aktywności fizycznej oraz sposobu spędzania wolnego czasu przez 11-letnie dzieci z powiatu rzeszowskiego. Materiał i metody: Grupę badaną stanowiło 313 dzieci szkół podstawowych na terenie powiatu rzeszowskiego, 75 uczniów z miasta i 238 z terenów wiejskich, 164 dziewczęta i 149 chłopców w wieku 11 lat. Badania przeprowadzono za pomocą sondażu diagnostycznego z zastosowaniem kwestionariusza ankiety własnego autorstwa. Wyniki: W badanej grupie nie wykazano istotnych statystycznych różnic pomiędzy miejscem zamieszkania a ilością dni poświęcanych przez dzieci na aktywność fizyczną. Najczęstszą formę aktywności w czasie wolnym stanowiły zajęcia na basenie oraz tenis stołowy. Do najczęstszych biernych form spędzania czasu należało oglądanie telewizji. Wykazano istotne statystycznie różnice pomiędzy płcią a ilością spędzanego czasu przed komputerem. Chłopcy spędzali więcej czasu przed komputerem niż dziewczęta. Wnioski: Nie wykazano zależności między środowiskiem społecznym a poziomem aktywności fizycznej oraz sposobem spędzania wolnego czasu przez badane dzieci. Chłopcy więcej czasu poświęcili na bierne formy wypoczynku. Wykazano istotną statystycznie zależność między płcią a czasem spędzanym przed komputerem.

Objectives To estimate the prevalence of leisure-time physical inactivity (LTPI) and associated factors among healthcare workers. Material and Methods The cross-sectional study carried out with 2684 healthcare workers from 4 municipalities from the northeast region, Brazil. The LTPI was assessed by dichotomous question. The association between LTPI and the various independent variables was examined through the multinomial logistic regression analysis (crude and adjusted). Results The prevalence of LTPI was 47.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): 46.01–48.80). The adjusted analysis (sociodemographic and occupational characteristics) showed that women and individuals with higher levels of education were more LTPI (p = 0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of LTPI was high among the population investigated, especially among women and individuals with higher education. These results show the importance of developing actions to encourage adherence to physical activity during leisure time among workers, especially among the most vulnerable groups (people with higher education and women), given the benefits of this behavior to health.

Wprowadzenie: Aktywność fizyczna jest jednym z głównych czynników stylu życia, która może zapobiegać wielu chorobom. Grupą wieku szczególnie ważną jest młodzież wkraczająca w dorosłość. Wśród różnorodnych czynników warunkujących aktywność fizyczną jest płeć. Znajomość różnic w aktywności fizycznej dziewcząt i chłopców pozwala trafniej dobierać zajęcia ruchowe do ich specyfiki. Materiał: Badaniami przeprowadzonymi w 2013 r objęto 156 uczniów w wieku 16,17,18 lat w tym 62 dziewcząt (41%) i 88 chłopców (59%) ze szkół polskich w Rydze na Łotwie. Metoda: Zastosowano Międzynarodowy Kwestionariusz Aktywności Fizycznej (IPAQ) w wersji krótkiej powszechnie zalecany w badaniach międzynarodowych. Wyniki: Poziom wysoki aktywności fizycznej wykazano wśród 47,6% u chłopców, a 27,8% wśród dziewcząt. Nie wykazano wśród dziewcząt i chłopców osób z niskim poziomem aktywności fizycznej. Poziom całkowitej aktywności fizycznej chłopców zwiększa się wraz z wiekiem, w przypadku dziewcząt obniża się tj. 16-18 lat. U chłopców największy udział badanych o wysokiej aktywności fizycznej wykazano w wieku 17 lat-59,5% i 18 lat-43,2%. W przypadku dziewcząt najwyższą wartość wykazano w wieku 16 lat-32,4%. Wykazano natomiast istotne różnice w ramach grup wieku obu płci. W przypadku dziewcząt między grupą 17-latek (297 min.), a 18-latek (257,6) min. Natomiast w przypadku chłopców między grupą 16-latków (329 min.), a 17-latków (270 min.). Wnioski: Poziom całkowitej aktywności fizycznej zawiera się głównie w przedziale wartości umiarkowanych, a dominującym obszarem aktywności jest chodzenie. Wyniki badań potwierdziły powszechnie wykazywaną wyższą aktywności fizyczną u chłopców co należy brać pod uwagę przy zajęciach ruchowych młodzieży szkolnej w analizowanym wieku.
Introduction: Physical activity is one of the main lifestyle factors that can prevent many diseases. The age group that is especially important with respect to that aspect are young people entering adulthood. Among various factors that determine young people’s physical activity is sex. That is why, knowledge of differences in physical activity of girls and boys enables selecting proper activities due to gender specificity more accurately. Material: The research was conducted in 2013 and involved 156 pupils, aged 16,17,18 years, including 62 girls (41%) and 88 boys (59%) from Polish schools in Riga, Latvia. Method: An International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), commonly recommended in international research, was used in its short version. Results: High level of physical activity was found in 47.6% of the boys and in 27.8% of the girls. No differences were shown in those girls and boys who exhibited low levels of physical activity. However, the level of total physical activity of boys increased with age, whereas in the case of girls, it decreased at around 16-18 years. In boys, the highest proportion of involvement in high physical activity was observed at the age of 17, i.e. 59.5%, and 18 - 43.2%. In the case of girls, the highest value was shown at the age of 16, i.e. 32.4%. However, important differences in total activity were found in different age groups of both sexes. For girls, the value for 17-year-olds was 297 min., whereas for 18-year-olds - 257.6 min. In the case of boys, those who were 16-year-olds showed 329 min. of total activity, whereas in 17-year-olds, it amounted to 270 min. Conclusions: It was found that the level of total physical activity of youth falls within a moderate range and that the dominant activity is walking. The results of the study confirmed the general higher physical activity values in boys, which should be taken into account while preparing physical activity tasks for schoolchildren in the analyzed age.

Opis:
Purpose: Hemodynamics has a key role in the atheropathogenesis. Indeed, atherosclerotic phenomena occur in vessels characterized by complex geometry and flow pattern, like the carotid bifurcation. Moreover, the lifestyle is a significant risk factor. The aim of this study is to evaluate the hemodynamic effects due to two sedentary lifestyles -sitting and standing positions- in the carotid bifurcation in order to identify the worst condition and to investigate the atherosclerosis incidence. Methods: The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was chosen to carry out the analysis, in which in-vivo non-invasive measurements were used as boundary conditions. Furthermore, to compare the two conditions, one patient-specific 3D model of a carotid bifurcation was reconstructed starting from computer tomography. Different mechanical indicators, correlated with atherosclerosis incidence, were calculated in addition to flow pattern and pressure distribution: the time average wall shear stress (TAWSS), the oscillatory shear index (OSI) and the relative residence time (RRT). Results: The results have highlighted that the bulb and the external carotid artery emergence are the most probable regions in which atherosclerotic events could happen. Indeed, low velocity and WSS values, high OSI and, as a consequence, areas with chaotic-swirling flow, with stasis (high RRT), occur. Moreover, the sitting position is the worst condition: considering a cardiac cycle, TAWSS is less than 17.2% and OSI and RRT are greater than 17.5% and 21.2%, respectively. Conclusions: This study suggests that if a person spends much time in the sitting position, a high risk of plaque formation and, consequently, of stenosis could happen.

The objective of the presented paper was to compare the selected variables of lifestyle in first - year students at two universities in Košice. The research sample group consisted of the first - year students of the P. J. Šafá rik University in Košice (UPJŠ, n=918, 651 women and 267 men) and the Technical University in Košice (TUKE, n=653, 239 women and 414 men). We compiled our own test battery named “The risk factors of obesity and its prevention through physical activity” and administered it to students at the beginning of the respective academic years (September 2012 and September 2013). Presented paper focuses on questions related to: the students' satisfaction with their lifestyle, students expressing a need to change their lifestyle, frequency of structured physical activity, motivation to engage in structured physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and a structure of leisure activities. To process the collected data, we used the statistical software R. To test the signific ance of differences between the universities we used the Wilcoxon rank - sum test. N o significant difference between the universities was found on variables indicating the satisfaction with lifestyle. The most repeated lifestyle components that students of b oth universities would like to change were physical activity and dietary habits. These data reflect the findings that in the last half year over 61.5 % of UPJŠ students and 48.9 % of TUKE students were engaged in structured physical activity either irregul arly or they were not engaged in any structured physical activity at all. Another analysis of significant difference (p<0.001) between the two universities was employed to indicate the frequency with which students engaged in structured physical activity. The analysis revealed a higher frequency in students of TUKE. The analysis also confirmed that the gender of a respondent had a greater influence on that difference than the university they attended. The students of both universities indicated that figure (appearance), enjoyment, health and physical fitness were the main motivators for structured physical activity. The difference between the universities, with regard to variables indicating the time which students spent engaged in sedentary behaviours was s ignificant (p<0.001) during both working days and weekend days, where gender had no influence on this difference. Sedentary behaviours prevailed among the most common leisure activities in students of both universities. At the beginning of their university studies, lifestyle of a large number of first - year students at the two universities is characterized by the low level of engagement in structured physical activity and by sedentary leisure activities, with the existing differences between genders and the universities.

Objectives Heavy vehicle transport workers have a high risk of obesity and obesity-related disorders including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary nature of their work makes a healthy work and lifestyle balance difficult to achieve. Educational interventions that promote behavioral changes have been shown to be effective in various group settings. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of metabolic risk factors among a population of urban bus drivers; to deliver a 3-month educational intervention specifically tailored for the workplace environment of transport workers; and to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention through quantitative measurements and qualitative feedback. Material and Methods Thirty-three bus drivers from depots in south Queensland were recruited for the study. Baseline metabolic data were collected through anthropometric measurements, blood collection and diet/lifestyle questionnaires. Metabolic risk factors that were analyzed included: waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose, blood triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Three interactive seminars were delivered over a 3-month period. At the end of the period, data collection was repeated. Results At the commencement of the study, 35% of the participants exhibited ≥ 3 of the metabolic risk factors that characterize metabolic syndrome. This is higher than the reported prevalence in the general Australian population (22.1%). A total 21 of the 33 participants remained committed to the intervention and provided pre and post intervention data. Of these, 28% (N = 6) showed a decrease in one or more of the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. There was a significant increase in the average HDL-C after the intervention. Qualitative feedback indicated that the workers benefited from the program, especially regarding their awareness of the risks associated with their profession. Conclusions This pilot study demonstrates that lifestyle education seminars specifically tailored for the workplace can have an impact on the health behaviors of transport workers.
