Exergaming Experiences of Older Adults: A Critical Incident Study
2019
Exergaming is a form of digital gaming requiring physical effort from the player. There has been a growing interest towards exergaming in academia. However, only a very limited number of exergaming studies have given a voice to older adults and investigated their experiences. This study investigates what kinds of exergaming experiences are perceived as the most meaningful ones among older adults (referred in this study as people over 50 years of age). That is, the experiences which they perceive or remember as “unusually positive or negative”. To meet this purpose, this study takes a qualitative approach and uses the critical incident technique, a well-established technique to collect and c…

Hannu Pitkänen tutki väitöskirjassaan fyysisen harjoituksen, pitkän harjoitusjakson ja ikääntymisen aiheuttamia vaikutuksia elimistön aminohappo- ja proteiiniaineenvaihduntaan. Ihmisen elämälle välttämätön ravintoaine, proteiini (valkuaisaine), jota on noin 15 % kehon painosta, koostuu aminohapoista. Välttämättömät aminohapot on saatava ravinnosta, kun taas ei-välttämättömiä aminohappoja voidaan tuottaa elimistössä. Vain noin 0.5-1.0 % aminohapoista on vapaana veressä ja lihaksen sisällä ns. vapaana aminohappoaltaana. Aminohappoja tulee altaaseen ravinnosta, kudoksiin sidotun proteiinin hajoamisesta ja hiilihydraatti- ja rasva-aineenvaihdunnan välituotteita siirtämällä kehon sisällä veren v…

Strength Training Improves Metabolic Health Markers in Older Individual Regardless of Training Frequency
2019
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of frequency, thereby increasing training volume, of resistance training on body composition, inflammation markers, lipid and glycemic profile in healthy older individuals (age range 65-75 year). Ninety-two healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups; performing strength training one- (EX1), two- (EX2), or three- (EX3) times-per-week and a non-training control (CON) group. Whole-body strength training was performed using 2-5 sets and 4-12 repetitions per exercise and 7-9 exercises per session. All training groups attended supervised resistance training for 6 months. Body composition was measured by dua…
Snacktivity™ to promote physical activity and reduce future risk of disease in the population: protocol for a feasibility randomised controlled trial…
2023
Abstract Background Many people do not regularly participate in physical activity, which may negatively impact their health. Current physical activity guidelines are focused on promoting weekly accumulation of at least 150 min of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA). Whilst revised guidance now recognises the importance of making small changes to physical activity behaviour, guidance still focuses on adults needing to achieve at least 150 min of MVPA per week. An alternative ‘whole day’ approach that could motivate the public to be more physically active, is a concept called Snacktivity™. Instead of focusing on achieving 150 min per week of physical activity, for example …
A randomized controlled trial of unguided internet cognitive-behavioral treatment for perfectionism in individuals who engage in regular exercise
2018
Objective Clinical perfectionism has been found to be a risk and maintaining factor in eating disorders (EDs), compulsive exercise, and athlete burnout. This study investigated whether an unguided internet cognitive–behavioral treatment (ICBT) for perfectionism would reduce ED pathology, compulsive exercise, and burnout in individuals who engage in regular exercise. Method Participants were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 38) or waitlist control (n =29). A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) analysis was conducted pre and post treatment. A follow‐up analysis was conducted with the intervention group at 3 and 6 months. Results The intervention group experienced a significant reduct…
Juoksemisen merkitykset suomalaisessa postmodernissa juoksukirjallisuudessa : sisällönanalyysi valmennusoppaasta, elämänkerrasta ja kaunokirjallisest…
2014
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, millaisia merkityksiä juoksemiselle annetaan suomalaisessa postmodernissa juoksukirjallisuudessa ja miten nämä merkitykset ilmenevät suhteessa identiteettiin ja elämäntapaan. Lisäksi tutkin elämyksiä, joita juokseminen harrastajalleen tarjoaa sekä sitä, millaiseen fyysiseen ja sosiaaliseen kontekstiin juokseminen sijoittuu. Tutkimusaineistonani toimii kolme postmodernina aikana julkaistua juoksemiseen liittyvää kirjaa. Teokset poikkeavat toisistaan sekä sisällöltään että orientaatioltaan, sillä yksi on valmennusopas, toinen on elämänkerta ja kolmas on essee- ja runotyyliä edustava kaunokirjallinen teos. Tutkimusaineistoon valitut teoks…
