Moving from intention to behaviour: a randomised controlled trial protocol for an app-based physical activity intervention (i2be).
2022
IntroductionEfficacy tests of physical activity interventions indicate that many have limited or short-term efficacy, principally because they do not sufficiently build on theory-based processes that determine behaviour. The current study aims to address this limitation.Methods and analysisThe efficacy of the 8-week intervention will be tested using a three-condition randomised controlled trial delivered through an app, in women with a prior hypertensive pregnancy disorder. The intervention is based on the integrated behaviour change model, which outlines the motivational, volitional and automatic processes that lead to physical activity. The mechanisms by which the behaviour change techniq…
Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers
2016
Ismael Pedraza, 2016. Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers. Master s thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. Pp. 53. Interoception is the conscious awareness of internal sensations coming from autonomic responses of the body including inputs such as visceral sensations, heart rate, sensations of tight muscles, etc. Those sensations are experienced due to the autonomic nervous system that is in charge of controlling and regulating bodily functions and cannot be manipulated intentionally. Previous research on interoception in performers has shown that a relationship exists between our inner bodily se…
Corpo e linguaggio : le interazioni comunicative e sociali nei primi anni di vita
2023
I bambini sono attivi e propositivi nella relazione con l’adulto e con il mondo che li circonda fin dai primi giorni di vita, come sostenuto dalla psicoanalisi, dall’infant research e dalle ricerche neuroscientifiche. All’interno di una tale cornice, in questo articolo si focalizza l’attenzione sulla comunicazione e sul ruolo del corpo e della gestualità nella relazione intersoggettiva, adottando una “prospettiva alla seconda persona” e mostrando come la competenza comunicativa preceda l’acquisizione del linguaggio verbale e sia legata non solo a ragioni biologiche ma anche alla ricchezza dello scambio, alla capacità di presenza e di ascolto dell’adulto e alla motivazione del bambino a cond…
Czas zgonu w kontekście nauk penalnych
2016
Celem pracy jest przybliżenie prawnikom trudu prac, jakie musi wykonać medyk sądowy szacujący czas zgonu. Ma to pomóc w minimalizacji niezrozumienia owej czynności w relacjach przedstawicieli tych dwóch grup zawodowych w procesie karnym. Opis czynności, jakie kolejno następują podczas próby ustalenia interwału pośmiertnego, ma pomóc w zrozumie-niu poziomu komplikacji w stosunku do istniejących regulacji prawnych i możliwości technicz-nych. Innym aspektem jest podkreślenie powagi owych czynności i ich doniosłości w kontekście prawa karnego. W pracy podjęto też próbę zestawienia różnych najważniejszych metod szacowa-nia czasu zgonu – ma to pomóc w ocenie możliwości technicznych, których niezn…
Intuitīvas ēšanas, ķermeņa masas indeksa un ēšanas pārliecību saistība gados jaunākām un vecākām sievietēm.
2016
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot sakarības starp intuitīvu ēšanu, ĶMI un ēšanas pārliecībām sieviešu izlasē (N=514) un noskaidrot, vai pastāv atšķirības starp gados jaunākām (18-40) sievietēm (n=259) un gados vecākām (41-69) sievietēm (n=255). Pētījumā tika izmantotas intuitīvas ēšanas skala - 2 un ēšanas pārliecību aptauja. Rezultāti norāda, ka gados vecākas sievietes uzrāda statistiski nozīmīgi zemākus rezultātus intuitīvas ēšanas dimensijā „beznosacījumu atļaujā ēst “, statistiski nozīmīgi augstākus rezultātus ēšanas pārliecību dimensijās „ēšanas ierobežošanā starp ēdienreizēm“, „ēšanas ierobežošanā sociālās situācijās“, un „porciju izmēra ierobežošanā“, un zemākus rezultātus sevis apbalv…

Obesity as a predictor of falls among older women
2012
In older people’s falls often lead to hospitalisation and lengthy recovery in health care institutions and this may be conducive to financial strain on health care systems. The propensity or risk of falling rises as the individual gets older and frailer. Fear of falling, previous history of falling, poor mobility, limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), side effects of medications, hazardous environment, poor vision and hearing, poor postural balance and gaits impairment are among the frequent factors that give rise to falls amongst older people. However, studies focused on obesity as a risk factor for falls are rarer. The aim of this study was to find out whether obesity increases…
