Liikunta osana viihtyisää koulupäivää : yläkoululaisten liikkuminen välitunneilla ja kokemuksia kouluviihtyvyydestä
2017
Lahtinen, V & Lehto, J. 2017. Liikunta osana viihtyisää koulupäivää. Yläkoululaisten liikku-minen välitunneilla ja kokemuksia kouluviihtyvyydestä. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu-tutkielma. Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta. Jyväsky¬län yliopisto. 64 sivua, 1 liite. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten yläkoululaiset oppilaat viihtyvät koulussa. Lisäksi tutkimme, miten yläkoululaiset viettävät välituntinsa, sekä onko oppilaiden välituntiliikunta-aktiivisuudella yhteyttä heidän kouluviihtyvyyteensä. Tutkimuksen aineiston keruu on toteu-tettu osana Liikkuva koulu -ohjelmaa, ja siihen osallistuivat 7.–9. luokkien oppilaat seitsemästä koulusta. Tutkimus toteutettiin määrällisenä poikittais…
Nuorten fyysistä aktiivisuutta mittaamassa : liikuntaluokkalaisten ja normaaliluokkalaisten vertailu Polar Active® -aktiivisuusmittareilla
2013
Haataja, J. & Sarajärvi, J. 2013. Nuorten fyysistä aktiivisuutta mittaamassa – Liikuntaluokkalaisten ja normaaliluokkalaisten vertailu Polar Active® -aktiivisuusmittareilla. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma, 60s. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, minkälaista on yläkoulun liikuntaluokkalaisten fyysinen aktiivisuus. Tarkastelun kohteena oli aktiivisuuden kokonaismäärä ja aktiivisuuden määrä aktiivisuustasoittain. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli verrata fyysisen aktiivisuuden eroja liikuntaluokkien ja normaaliluokkien oppilaiden välillä. Tutkimme myös, liikkuivatko oppilaat liikuntasuosituksiin nähden riittävästi ja oliko fyysisessä aktiivisuudessa eroja sukupuolten sekä luokka-asteide…
Municipal sport authorities participation in Colombia
2014
Physical activity promotion (PAP) has reached policy agendas worldwide due to the social and economic burden that non-communicable diseases have generated. Colombia is one of the countries that have taken the challenge of promoting healthy lifestyles in order to reduce this burden and in addition, take advantage of other benefits that promoting this healthy lifestyle brings. Although some research has been done on the field, no studies related to the local government contribution were found. The local government plays a crucial role in PAP, considering that it has a great influence on the physical and social environment of a city and consequently in the individual behavior of its citizens. …
The role of personality traits in leisure time physical activity during COVID-19 pandemic
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyday life, including physical activity behavior. This study examined the role of the five factor model of personality traits on leisure time physical activity during the pandemic in a sample (n=168) of 61 year-old Finnish men and women, participating in a larger longitudinal study, between April 2020 and April 2021. Frequency of participation and changes in leisure time physical activity were self-reported. Personality traits and facets were assessed with the 181-item NEO-PI. Openness was the only factor positively associated with leisure time physical activity frequency. Participants scoring higher in extraversion (particularly the activity-facet) and…
Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations between Leisure Time Physical Activity, Mental Well-Being and Subjective Health in Middle Adulthood
2019
Previous studies have shown that participation in leisure time physical activity is related to better mental well-being and subjective health. However, the associations between different types of leisure time physical activities and different dimensions of mental well-being have rarely been studied. In addition, longitudinal research, analyzing possible causal relations between these variables, is lacking. To investigate these research questions, data gathered at ages 42 and 50 (present N = 303) for the Finnish Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development were used. Physical activity was assessed as frequency of participation at ages 42 and 50, and at age 50 also as fr…
Muscle follistatin gene delivery increases muscle protein synthesis independent of periodical physical inactivity and fasting
2020
Blocking of myostatin and activins effectively counteracts muscle atrophy. However, the potential interaction with physical inactivity and fasting in the regulation of muscle protein synthesis is poorly understood. We used blockade of myostatin and activins by recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-mediated follistatin (FS288) overexpression in mouse tibialis anterior muscle. To investigate the effects on muscle protein synthesis, muscles were collected 7 days after rAAV-injection in the nighttime or in the daytime representing high and low levels of activity and feeding, respectively, or after overnight fasting, refeeding, or ad libitum feeding. Muscle protein synthesis was increased by…
Associations of physical activity intensities, impact intensities and osteogenic index with proximal femur bone traits among sedentary older adults
2021
Background Dynamic high-intensity physical activity is thought to be beneficial for older adults’ bone health. Traditional volume-based processing of accelerometer-measured physical activity data, quantified on a minute-per-minute basis, may average out sporadic high impact activity, whereas accelerometer data processing approaches based on identifying impacts can capture also these potentially beneficial short activity bursts. We investigated the associations between habitual physical activity and proximal femur bone traits among sedentary older adults utilizing three different numerical treatments of accelerometer-data to examine, if impact-based processing approaches are more suitable to…
Muscle Activity and Inactivity Periods during Normal Daily Life
2013
Recent findings suggest that not only the lack of physical activity, but also prolonged times of sedentary behaviour where major locomotor muscles are inactive, significantly increase the risk of chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was to provide details of quadriceps and hamstring muscle inactivity and activity during normal daily life of ordinary people. Eighty-four volunteers (44 females, 40 males, 44.1±17.3 years, 172.3±6.1 cm, 70.1±10.2 kg) were measured during normal daily life using shorts measuring muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity (recording time 11.3±2.0 hours). EMG was normalized to isometric MVC (EMGMVC) during knee flexion and extension, and inactivity threshold o…

2020
Using a cross-sectional study design, we tested a structural equation model of hypothesized relationships among a group of variables: motivational climate in physical education (PE), students&rsquo
Fundamental movement skills in adolescents : secular trends from 2003 to 2010 and associations with physical activity and BMI
2018
The aim of this study was to examine the secular trends in fundamental movement skills (FMS) among 15- to 16-year-old adolescents at 2 assessment points scheduled in 2003 and 2010 and to investigate the associations between FMS, physical activity (PA), and body mass index (BMI). In 2003, self-reported PA, weight and height, and objective FMS scores were collected from 2390 students, and in 2010, similar data were generated from a second sample of 1346 students. FMS were assessed during both assessment phases using 3 identical objective FMS tests that were figure 8 dribbling, jumping laterally, and coordination track tests. This study indicated that the sum index of FMS did not change among …
