Sustainable Physical Activity Programs for Young Elderly : A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach
2020
Physical activity (PA) programs are useful to help young elderly stay in good shape for their senior years. These programs should be sustainable, as this would keep the users active for months and years. A PA program should build on activities that users find meaningful and/or best suited for their history of sports and exercise as well as their present physical capacity. The challenge is to make the best selection from a (long) list of possible activities. We worked out a method to help young elderly to build a sustainable PA program from a set of activities that experts have identified as contributing to health and fitness among young elderly. The method builds on the Analytical Hierarchy…
Longitudinal associations among cardiorespiratory fitness and objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity of Finnish schoolchildren
2022
Children and adolescents' engagement in physical activity has decreased in most Western countries across the previous three decades. Therefore, increasing number of researchers are investigating antecedents of physical activity engagement in childhood and adolescence. This longitudinal study investigated if cardiorespiratory fitness measured at Grade 5 explained objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) at grade 7. nonPeerReviewed
Digital Mental Health Resources for Children and Youth : Evaluation of Strengths in User Interface Design
2019
The aim of this research is to explore the positive user interface (UI) design of digital mental health resources for children and youth. For this purpose, a heuristic model is introduced and heuristic evaluation is used as a method to systematically assess 49 digital mental health resources. In the assessment, the resources are evaluated by observing the prevalence of UI design strengths defined in the heuristic model. The results of the study indicate that the resources analyzed have strengths especially in the dimensions of visual design, content, reliability, engagement and functional design. Furthermore, all of the resources have at least four design strengths, creating a good basis fo…
Physical activity change and stability patterns from adolescence to early adulthood : how activity domains and sedentary behaviour are associated wit…
2022
Background Longitudinal studies demonstrate that physical activity (PA) declines on average from adolescence to early adulthood. However, some subgroups of adolescents increase activity while others decrease or maintain high or low activity. Determinants of change or maintenance of (in)activity may differ between subgroups and are valuable information for targeted health promotion. The purpose of this study was to identify PA patterns from adolescence to early adulthood, and also to explore how different activity domains and Sedentary Behaviour (SB) are associated with PA patterns. Methods The data of this observational cohort study (collected in 2013/2014 and 2017/2018) consisted of 254 Fi…
Nuorten toiminnanohjauksen pulmien yhteys kaverisuhteisiin
2020
Tämä tutkimus on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston psykologian laitoksen tutkijoiden toteuttamaa ja Suomen Akatemian rahoittamaa TIKAPUU - Alakoulusta yläkouluun -tutkimushanketta. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin seitsemäsluokkalaisten nuorten [n = 377] toiminnanohjauksen pulmien ja kaverisuhteiden välisiä yhteyksiä. Nuorten pulmia toiminnanohjauksessa tarkasteltiin opettajien täyttämällä Keskittymiskyselyllä. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin nuorten kavereiden määrää, läheisen ystävyyssuhteen laatua ja nuorten asemaa vertaisryhmässä. Kavereiden määrää mitattiin laskemalla niiden luokkakavereiden lukumäärä, joiden kanssa nuoret kertoivat viettävänsä mieluiten aikaa. Ystävyyssuhteen laatua mitattiin läheisyy…
