Considerations for the Analysis of Small Extracellular Vesicles in Physical Exercise

2020

Physical exercise induces acute physiological changes leading to enhanced tissue cross-talk and a liberation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the circulation. EVs are cell-derived membranous entities which carry bioactive material, such as proteins and RNA species, and are important mediators of cell-cell-communication. Different types of physical exercise interventions trigger the release of diverse EV subpopulations, which are hypothesized to be involved in physiological adaptation processes leading to health benefits and longevity. Large EVs (“microvesicles” and “microparticles”) are studied frequently in the context of physical exercise using straight forward flow cytometry approach…

Effects of Physical Activity, Smoking and Alcohol Consumption on Quality of Life of Students in Continuous Education Centers

2013

Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν να διερευνηθούν οι επιδράσεις ορισμένων συμπεριφορών υγείας, όπως η άσκηση, το κάπνισμα και η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ στην ποιότητα ζωής ενηλίκων που βρίσκονται σε εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Το δείγμα της έρευνας ήταν 363 ενήλικες, (Μ.Ο. ηλικίας = 41.86, Τ.Α. = 11.42 έτη) που παρακολουθούσαν προγράμματα επιμόρφωσης, σε Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης Ενηλίκων (ΚΕΕ). Χρησιμοποι- ήθηκαν ερωτηματολόγια για να καταγραφούν το κάπνισμα σε καθημερινή βάση, η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ σε εβδομαδιαία βάση, καθώς και η φυσική δραστηριότητα. Για την αξιολόγηση της ποιότητας ζωής χρησιμο- ποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο SF-36. Για τη στατιστική ανάλυση χρησιμοποιήθηκαν αναλύσεις παλινδρόμη- σης. Βρέθηκ…

La preservación del favor filii en supuestos de ruptura de la convivencia de los acogedores, tutores o guardadores del menor

2021

Cuando la guarda del menor por parte de los progenitores no es posible y esta es atribuida de forma conjunta a dos personas convivientes que posteriormente cesan dicha convivencia, resulta necesario determinar cuál de ellas va a ejercer a partir de ese momento las funciones inherentes a dicha guarda. Las posibles soluciones dependerán de si se trata de un supuesto de acogimiento, de tutela o de siempre guarda. When care of the child by the parents is not possible and is attributed jointly to two people living together who subsequently stop living together, it is necessary to determine which of them will exercise the functions inherent to the care from that moment on. The possible solutions …

The effect of a failure and submaximal blood flow restriction resistance exercise protocol on changes in muscle size, strength and swelling

2016

Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Introduction: Blood flow restricted resistance exercise (BFRRE) can induce rapid increases in muscle size, strength and swelling. No previous research has investigated the importance of conducting BFRRE to voluntary failure and few studies has been carried out to investigate associations between swelling and muscle size. Therefore, the aim of the present study was twofold (1) compare changes in muscle size and strength between a failure (FA) and submaximal (SU) BFRRE protocol (2) investigate associations between swelling and muscle size. Methods: Seventeen untrained men had their legs randomized to FA and SU protocols. The interv…

Perceived need to increase physical activity levels among adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional analysis within a community-based…

2012

Background. Increased physical activity is a cornerstone of type 2 diabetes prevention. The perception of a need to change is considered essential in behaviour change processes. However, the existing literature on individuals' perceived need to change health behaviour is limited. In order to improve understanding of diabetes prevention through increased physical activity levels (PAL), we assessed factors associated with perceiving a need to increase PAL among adults at high risk of diabetes. Methods. Opportunistic screening was used within a primary-care based lifestyle intervention covering 10 149 men and women at high risk of type 2 diabetes. Data were obtained at baseline visits. Th…

TIIVISTELMÄ Knaappila, R. 2017. TRE -harjoittelulla rentoutta ja mielen rauhaa – unihäiriöitä potevien työikäisten kokemuksia TRE -harjoittelusta (Tension releasing exercises) ja nukkumisesta. Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Terveyskasvatuksen pro gradu -tutkielma, 64 s., 3 liitettä. Unettomuus on maailmanlaajuinen ilmiö, joka vaikuttaa haitallisesti terveyteen ja elämänlaatuun. Joka kolmas työikäinen suomalainen kärsii tilapäisestä unettomuudesta ja kymmenesosalla esiintyy kroonista unettomuutta. Unettomuuden Käypä hoito -suosituksen (2015) mukaan uniongelmiin on tärkeä löytää muita ratkaisuja kuin unilääkkeet, joilla on haitallisia sivuvaikutuksia sekä yhteys lisään…

Protective and Educational Effects of Physical Activity Practice on Mental Health in Young Age during COVID-19 Lockdown

2022

Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have modified the lifestyle of young people, worsening their mental health. Although some countries were allowed to practice outdoor physical activity (PA) in cases of lockdown, the PA level in the general population decreased. The current study aims to assess the differences in fear of COVID-19, anxiety, neuroticism, and general self-efficacy between university students who practiced PA during the second wave of lockdown and those who did not practice any PA. Methods: The sample consisted of 276 university students (176 females, 63.8%; mean age: 22.13, SD: ±3.94) who answered an online questionnaire detecting life habits …

Female reproductive factors are associated with objectively measured physical activity in middle-aged women

2017

Physical activity improves health and may delay the onset of several chronic diseases. For women in particular, the rate of these diseases accelerates at middle age; therefore it is important to identify the determinants of health-enhancing physical activity during midlife in this population. In this study, we focused on determinants that are unique to the female sex, such as childbearing and menopause. The main objective was to characterize the level of physical activity and differences between active and inactive middle-aged Finnish women. In addition, we examined the association of physical activity with female reproductive factors at midlife. The study population consisted of 647 women …

Physical Performance During the Menopausal Transition and the Role of Physical Activity

2020

Abstract Background To examine longitudinal changes in physical performance during the menopausal transition and the role of physical activity (PA) in these changes. Methods Based on follicle-stimulating hormone levels and bleeding diaries, women (47–55 years) were classified as early (n = 89) and late perimenopausal (n = 143) and followed prospectively until postmenopausal status, with mean duration of 17.5 and 13.8 months, respectively. Physical performance was measured by handgrip force, knee extension torque, vertical jumping height, maximal walking speed, and 6-minute walking distance. Physical activity was self-reported and categorized as inactive, low, medium, and high. Longitudinal …
