Comparing the physical activity patterns of 3-year-old Finnish and Australian children during childcare and homecare days
2014
AbstractLimited previous research has contrasted physical activity (PA) patterns in preschool children across different hourly patterns or segments of day, or adopted similar methodologies to compare the PA behaviors of children from different countries. The purpose of this study was to examine how the PA levels and patterns differed between 3- year-olds within and between childcare and homecare days in Finland and Australia.ActiGraph GT3X accelerometers were used to monitor 121 (80 Finnish, 41 Australian) children’s PA for five consecutive days.No significant country differences were observed in children’s daily total PA (light-tovigorous PA [LMVPA]), except that during childcare days Finn…
Device-Based Measures of Sedentary Time and Physical Activity Are Associated With Physical Fitness and Body Fat Content
2020
Introduction/Purpose: Physical activity and sedentary time may associate with physical fitness and body composition. Yet, there exists some observational studies that have investigated the associations of device-based measures of sedentary time and physical activity (PA) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition but associations with muscular fitness (MF) are less studied.Methods: Objective sedentary time and physical activity was measured by a hip worn accelerometer from 415 young adult men (age: mean 26, standard deviation 7 years). Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) (CRF) was determined using a graded cycle ergometer test until exhaustion. Maximal force of lower extremiti…
El pensamiento del alumnado inactivo sobre sus experiencias negativas en educación física: los discursos del rendimiento, salutismo y masculinidad he…
2019
El propósito de este estudio es el análisis del pensamiento de los estudiantes inactivos sobre sus experiencias negativas en educación física y los discursos sociales asociados a ellas. Siete estudiantes de Bachillerato, cuatro chicos y tres chicas, clasificados como inactivos en una fase de investigación cuantitativa previa, participaron en entrevistas semiestructuradas. Cuatro temas resultaron del análisis temático de las experiencias negativas contadas por el alumnado. El primero mostraba cómo los estudiantes inactivos sufren las consecuencias de unas clases y evaluación orientadas por el profesorado hacia el rendimiento físico, especialmente los chicos obesos y las chicas con baja compe…
Students’ physical activity intensity and sedentary behaviour by physical self-concept profiles: A latent profile analysis. [Intensidad de la activid…
2020
Abstract Aims of this study were to identify student clusters in physical appearance, sport competence, global physical self-concept and self-esteem, and to examine whether different physical self-concept groups differ in their moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behaviour. Participants of the study were 211 boys and 183 girls aged 13-16 years. MVPA and sedentary behaviour were monitored by GT3X accelerometers during seven days. Participants’ physical self-concept was measured by the short Physical Self-Description Questionnaire. Latent profile analyses revealed a four-cluster solution: 1) “low sport competence, moderate global physical self-concept and self-esteem, …

Suspected motor problems and low preference for active play in childhood are associated with physical inactivity and low fitness in adolescence
2011
Background - This prospective longitudinal study investigates whether suspected motor problems and low preference for active play in childhood are associated with physical inactivity and low cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescence. Methodology/Principal Findings - The study sample consisted of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (NFBC 1986) composed of 5,767 children whose parents responded to a postal inquiry concerning their children's motor skills at age 8 years and who themselves reported their physical activity at age 16 years. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured with a cycle ergometer test at age 16 years. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for the lev…
¿Cómo abordan los textos de Educación Primaria la competencia en alimentación y actividad física?
2018
La incorporación de las competencias básicas al currículo escolar ha planteado la necesidad de definir las competencias en salud que el estudiante debe alcanzar cuando finalice la enseñanza obligatoria. De ahí que este grupo de investigación haya elaborado unos estándares de competencias que tratan de dar respuesta a los principales problemas de salud. Para ello se ha elaborado un instrumento que permite analizar si dichas competencias están presentes en los recursos educativos, concretamente en los libros de texto, con la finalidad de obtener información sobre la visión y el abordaje que estos presentan sobre la promoción de hábitos de vida saludable. El presente trabajo estudia el tratami…
Mikä nuorta liikuttaa? : tutkimus liikuntatottumusten rakentumisesta lapsesta nuoreksi aikuiseksi
2016
Tutkimuksessa kuvataan lapsena liikunta-aktiivisuudeltaan erilaisten nuorten liikuntatottumusten rakentumista lapsesta nuoreksi aikuiseksi. Nuorten kokemuksia tarkastellaan yksilöllisesti ja koko elämäntilanteen kokonaisuus huomioiden elämänkulun näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää, miten liikunta-aktiivisuus muuttuu elämänkulun aikana ja millaisiksi nuoret kuvaavat niitä elämänkulun kokemuksia, jotka ovat heidän liikunta-aktiivisuuttaan muuttaneet. Lisäksi tehtävänä oli kuvata, millainen asema liikunnalla on nuoren arjessa. Retrospektiivisen pitkittäistutkimuksen muodosti kaksi erillistä aineistonkeruuvaihetta. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin samoilta henkilöiltä vuosina 2001 ja 2…
A survey on lifestyle and attitudes on fruit and vegetable consumption and participation in physical activity in a sample of secondary school and uni…
2010
<p><strong>Background</strong>: Fruit and vegetable (F&amp;V) consumption, and physical activity (PA), are thought to be some of the most important protective factors that can improve long-term health quality of life. Many epidemiological studies indicate, in fact, that F&amp;V consumption and PA are health-promoting and are correlated with the beneficial effects and positive outcomes such as preventing some chronic diseases. Evidence, however, indicates that large proportions of adolescents are not consuming the minimum servings of F&amp;V as recommended by experts and a high percentage of them have sedentary habits.</p><p><strong>Objective a…
