Impact of using different levels of threshold-based artefact correction on the quantification of heart rate variability in three independent human co…
2020
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive indicator of autonomic nervous system function. HRV recordings show artefacts due to technical and/or biological issues. The Kubios software is one of the most used software to process HRV recordings, offering different levels of threshold-based artefact correction (i.e., Kubios filters). The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of different Kubios filters on the quantification of HRV derived parameters from short-term recordings in three independent human cohorts. A total of 312 participants were included: 107 children with overweight/obesity (10.0 ±
Longitudinal physical activity patterns and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors during adolescence
2023
Purpose To examine the associations between longitudinal physical activity (PA) patterns and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood. Methods This cohort study encompassed 250 participants recruited from sports clubs and schools, and examined at mean age 15 and 19. Device-measured moderate-to-vigorous PA was grouped into five patterns (via a data-driven method, using inactivity maintainers as a reference). The outcomes were: glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI). Linear growth curve models were applied wit…
Young Elderly and Digital Coaching : A Quantitative Intervention Study on Exercise Self-Efficacy
2020
Sport and wellness technology devices are becoming an increasingly relevant topic when discussing health and wellness. This study focuses on the use of a “digital coach”, within a specific population, young elderly people. This research explored how the use of a digital coach would affect self-efficacy related to physical activity and exercise among young elderly. Thisquantitative intervention study provided a digital coaching device to a group of young elderly people ranging from 61-78 in age for 10-weeks. It was found that a digital coach may be useful for this population, particularly in increasing their perceived confidence in exercising independently. However, the participants’ percept…
Forming Sustainable Physical Activity Programs Among Young Elderly : A Combined ELM & UTAUT Approach
2021
There is consensus in health studies that regular physical activities of sufficient intensity and duration contribute to better health both in the short and long term. In an ongoing research program, we focus on getting the young elderly, the 60-75 years age group, to adopt and include physical activities as part of their daily routines. One reason for addressing young elderly is large numbers – in Finland health care costs for the elderly was 3.7 B€ in 2019 and will increase dramatically if the young elderly group is in bad shape when they reach the 75+ age group. We are finding out that systematic physical activities can serve as preventive health care for the young elderly. We are also l…
Validation in Young Soccer Players of the Modified Version of the Harre Circuit Test: The Petrucci Ability Test
2021
The evaluation of soccer players’ physical fitness from youth onward is important for monitoring performance and planning training. While health-related factors present valid and reliable tests, the skill-related component should be studied in depth. An interesting test to evaluate the skill-related factors is the Harre circuit test (HTC); unfortunately, this test includes the somersault, an element not present in soccer. The aim of the present study is the validation of the Petrucci ability test (PAT), a variation of the HTC without the somersault for young soccer players. Children and adolescents (age range 10–13 years old) soccer players concluded the 20-m, the HTC and the PAT. To establ…
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…
Wsparcie społeczne a zachowania agresywne młodzieży ponadgimnazjalnej z uwzględnieniem miejsca zamieszkania oraz rodzaju szkoły, do której uczęszczał…
2019
Streszczenie: Wsparcie społeczne ma miejsce wtedy, gdy człowiek może liczyć na pomoc wynikającą z zachowań prospołecznych osoby lub grupy. Jest zawsze aktualne i najprawdopodobniej każdy będzie go kiedyś potrzebował. Agresja jest celowym wyrządzaniem krzywdy innej osobie, bojącej się i chcącej uniknąć bólu i cierpienia. Może być sposobem na szybką realizację doraźnego celu, ale niszczy przez to stosunki z ludźmi. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono wśród uczniów szkół ponadgimnazjalnych z powiatu bialskiego, województwa lubelskiego. Badania realizowano techniką ankiety audytoryjnej nadzorowanej przez autorkę pracy. Wyniki: Uzyskane wyniki badań ukazały potrzebę wsparcia społecznego wś…
Model wielowymiarowej profilaktyki pozytywnej jako przykład narzędzia projektowania wsparcia rozwoju duchowości dzieci i młodzieży
2022
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Problem badawczy dotyczy odpowiedzi na pytanie: czy i w jaki sposób model wielowymiarowej profilaktyki pozytywnej może służyć wsparciu rozwoju duchowego dzieci i młodzieży oraz jakie praktyczne implikacje wynikają z założeń teoretyczno-empirycznych modelu. W artykule zastosowano metodę analityczno-syntetyczną literatury przedmiotu. PROCES WYWODU: Na podstawie opracowań literatury przedmiotu dokonano analizy noetyczno -duchowego wymiaru egzystencji oraz ukazano jego znaczenie dla konstruowania skutecznej działalności profilaktycznej. Przedstawiono założenia teoretyczne oraz empiryczne modelu wielowymiarowej profilaktyki pozytywnej. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Z przepr…
Entrepreneurs and Growth : An Option, Obligation or Obsession?
2018
“Growth” as a word carries a positive tone in it; human beings grow and mature, gaining new knowledge and resources, and so do companies. Growth, however, has never been for all. In competitive markets, some grow and others do not—or grow at slower pace than others. Furthermore, growth is a process that strains the capabilities and resources of an individual, company, and its acting entrepreneurs to their extreme. Growth means also learning and leaving behind something learned of possessed before. Growth disrupts the history and path of a single company and its entrepreneur. The text synthetizes the scattered literature in growth and entrepreneurship. A case study shows how growth is viewed…
