Genetic and Environmental Effects on the Individual Variation and Continuity of Participation in Diverse Physical Activities

2021

INTRODUCTION Participation in diverse physical activities has beneficial health effects. However, little is known on how genetic and environmental factors affect this trait. Thus, we examined to what extent these factors explain participation in diverse leisure-time physical activities from late adolescence to adulthood using a twin study design. METHODS The participants were Finnish twins who reported their participation in diverse leisure-time physical activities at ages 17 (n = 5429) and 34 yr (n = 4246). The number of physical activities engaged in was analyzed using applications of structural linear modeling for twin data. RESULTS On average, the total number of physical activities eng…

Nuoret innovatiiviset yritykset : tarkastelussa innovointi, tuottavuus ja yritystukien vaikuttavuus

2013

Nuorille innovatiivisille yrityksille on myönnetty EU:ssa helpotuksia valtiontukien saa-miseksi. Kirjallisuudessa tällaisten nuorten, pienten ja t&k-intensiivisten yritysten on havaittu olevan poikkeuksellisia tuottamaan uusia ideoita ja kaupallistamaan niitä. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan nuorten innovatiivisten yritysten innovointikyvykkyyttä ja tuottavuutta. Lisäksi tavoitteena on tutkia, onko yritystuilla vaikutusta edellä mainittuihin innovointikyvykkyyteen sekä tuottavuuteen. Aineistona käytetään Tilastokeskuksen useita eri tilastolähteitä pääasiassa vuosilta 1995, 2000, 2004–2010. Niitä ovat Yritys- ja Konsernirekisterit, Tilinpäätös-, Tutkimus- ja kehittämistoimintatilastot, FLEE…

Long-term reliability of the Finnish behavioral and emotional rating scale

2015

In previous research, the Finnish version of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-2 has demonstrated adequate internal consistency, factor structure and convergent validity. The purpose of the present study was to examine the long-term test-retest reliability of the Finnish BERS-2. Youth, parent and teacher BERS-2 ratings were collected once a year for three years in order to assess the stability of scores. All of the correlations were significant and moderate to very large in magnitude. Study limitations, future research and implications were discussed.

Kyröläinen, H, Hackney, AC, Salminen, R, Repola, J, Häkkinen, K, and Haimi, J. Effects of combined strength and endurance training on physical performance and biomarkers of healthy young women. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1554– 1561, 2018—Cardiovascular fitness has decreased and obesity has increased in young adults worldwide during the last 10 years. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find out optimal exercise training programs for improving physical performance and health outcomes, especially among sedentary women. Subjects were 25- to 30-year-old women with a very low physical activity, and 65% of them were overweight (body mass index . 25). They performed endurance and strength traini…

Physical activity intention and attendance behaviour in Finnish youth with cerebral palsy – results from a physical activity intervention: an applica…

2021

Physical activity is associated with better health in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Numerous physical activity interventions have been designed to promote physical activity among youth with CP. No previous studies have explored the factors contributing to the intention to participate and predicting attendance behaviour for these interventions. Using theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this study explored the prediction of physical activity intention and attendance behaviour in a physical activity intervention aiming to promote physical activity in a sample of young individuals with CP. Males with CP aged 9–21 years were asked to complete measures of attitude, subjective norms, percei…

Theoretical and empirical research has recently been unveiling the components involved in affect self-regulation, such as the psychological functions of music listening, affective goals, regulation strategies, and musical mechanisms. The study of these components and of their interactions has resulted in a better understanding of the dynamics between music engagement, wellbeing, and psychological development among adolescents. The purpose of this chapter is to present a conceptual model of musical affect se…
