The IMF Lending Activity – A Survey
2014
Abstract This paper presents the evolution of the IMF lending arrangements approved between 1953-2013. The study covers both non-concessional and concessional loans. The findings show that the volume of the IMF loans has fluctuated significantly and the value of the IMF lending has increased over a period of economic or financial crisis, as the debt crisis of the 1980s, the Tequila crisis in 1994-1995, the Southeast Asia crisis in 1997-1998, Russia in 1998, Brazil in 1998-1999 and Argentina in 1999-2002 or the global financial crisis since 2008.
¿Cómo abordan los textos de Educación Primaria la competencia en alimentación y actividad física?
2018
La incorporación de las competencias básicas al currículo escolar ha planteado la necesidad de definir las competencias en salud que el estudiante debe alcanzar cuando finalice la enseñanza obligatoria. De ahí que este grupo de investigación haya elaborado unos estándares de competencias que tratan de dar respuesta a los principales problemas de salud. Para ello se ha elaborado un instrumento que permite analizar si dichas competencias están presentes en los recursos educativos, concretamente en los libros de texto, con la finalidad de obtener información sobre la visión y el abordaje que estos presentan sobre la promoción de hábitos de vida saludable. El presente trabajo estudia el tratami…
Mikä nuorta liikuttaa? : tutkimus liikuntatottumusten rakentumisesta lapsesta nuoreksi aikuiseksi
2016
Tutkimuksessa kuvataan lapsena liikunta-aktiivisuudeltaan erilaisten nuorten liikuntatottumusten rakentumista lapsesta nuoreksi aikuiseksi. Nuorten kokemuksia tarkastellaan yksilöllisesti ja koko elämäntilanteen kokonaisuus huomioiden elämänkulun näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää, miten liikunta-aktiivisuus muuttuu elämänkulun aikana ja millaisiksi nuoret kuvaavat niitä elämänkulun kokemuksia, jotka ovat heidän liikunta-aktiivisuuttaan muuttaneet. Lisäksi tehtävänä oli kuvata, millainen asema liikunnalla on nuoren arjessa. Retrospektiivisen pitkittäistutkimuksen muodosti kaksi erillistä aineistonkeruuvaihetta. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin samoilta henkilöiltä vuosina 2001 ja 2…
A survey on lifestyle and attitudes on fruit and vegetable consumption and participation in physical activity in a sample of secondary school and uni…
2010
<p><strong>Background</strong>: Fruit and vegetable (F&amp;V) consumption, and physical activity (PA), are thought to be some of the most important protective factors that can improve long-term health quality of life. Many epidemiological studies indicate, in fact, that F&amp;V consumption and PA are health-promoting and are correlated with the beneficial effects and positive outcomes such as preventing some chronic diseases. Evidence, however, indicates that large proportions of adolescents are not consuming the minimum servings of F&amp;V as recommended by experts and a high percentage of them have sedentary habits.</p><p><strong>Objective a…

What Are We Measuring When We Evaluate Digital Interventions for Improving Lifestyle? A Scoping Meta-Review
2022
Background: Lifestyle Medicine (LM) aims to address six main behavioral domains: diet/nutrition, substance use (SU), physical activity (PA), social relationships, stress management, and sleep. Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) have been used to improve these domains. However, there is no consensus on how to measure lifestyle and its intermediate outcomes aside from measuring each behavior separately. We aimed to describe (1) the most frequent lifestyle domains addressed by DHIs, (2) the most frequent outcomes used to measure lifestyle changes, and (3) the most frequent DHI delivery methods.Methods: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA-…
Aktywność fizyczna osób w podeszłym wieku. Analiza badań przeprowadzonych wśród mieszkańców województwa opolskiego, dolnośląskiego i śląskiego
2021
Styl życia jest jednym z czynników wpływających na proces starzenia się. Z upływem lat w organizmie człowieka dochodzi do wielu zmian fizjologicznych, które pogarszają jego funkcjonowanie. Celem pracy jest analiza stylu życia, uwarunkowań rodzinnych i ocena poziomu aktywności fizycznej seniorów w wieku późnej starości. Badaną grupę stanowili mężczyźni (n=33) i kobiety (n=67) w wieku od 80–93 lat, średnia wieku 82,97 lat
Neural Adaptations to Strength Training
2018
Scientific study of strength training has revealed numerous physiological mechanisms that contribute to: (1) acute fatigue from a single strength training session and (2) chronic adaptation to repetitive and systematic strength training. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is initially to discuss potential neural mechanisms that influence force production from the perspective of a single repetition. Thereafter, the chapter will highlight scientific evidence for candidate neural mechanisms that acutely limit force production during a single strength training session and long-term adaptations caused by strength training. For some of these potential neural mechanisms, there is strong scient…

Trajectories of mobility limitations over 24 years and their characterization by shift work and leisure-time physical activity in midlife
2019
Background We aimed to investigate trajectories of mobility limitations (MLs) over a period of 24 years. In addition, we aimed to study how shift work and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in midlife predict assignment to MLs trajectories separately for those retired on statutory pensions (SPs) and on disability pensions (DPs). Methods Subjects who responded MLs questionnaires (1985–2009, N = 3048) in Finnish Longitudinal Study on Aging Municipal Employees were included in this prospective cohort study. LTPA and shift work were measured during baseline. International Classification of Functioning was used to code MLs. Growth mixture modeling was used to identify the trajectories of MLs.…
