The associations between adolescents’ sports club participation and dietary habits
2021
For adolescent athletes, data on nutrition behaviours are limited. The present study aimed to evaluate the dietary habits of adolescent sports club participants (SPs) compared with those of non‐participants (NPs). The cross‐sectional study of 1917 adolescents aged 14–16 was based on data from the Finnish Health Promoting Sports Club (FHPSC) study. The health behaviour surveys were conducted among SPs (n=1093) and NPs (n=824). Logistic regression was used to test statistical significance of the differences in dietary habits between SPs and NPs. SPs were more likely than NPs to eat breakfast on weekends [89% vs. 79%, odds ratio (OR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–2.01] and to report …
Factors associated with body size perception among adolescent goal-oriented sports participants and non-participants : a cross-sectional Finnish study

Methods The cross-sectional study consisted of 475 goal-oriented sports club participants and 936 reference youths (aged 14–16 years). The study questionnaire included multiple choice items on hea…

2017
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelimme toimihenkilöiden henkilökohtaisia työtavoitteita sekä niiden yhteyttä harmoniseen ja pakonomaiseen työn intohimoon. Tutkimme suomalaisia toimihenkilöitä (n = 266, keski-ikä 39, kh = 3,3, vaihteluväli 31 – 44), jotka osallistuivat poikkileikkaustutkimukseen vuonna 2014. Tutkittavista 80,5 % oli miehiä ja esimiesasemassa työskenteli 70,7 %. Henkilökohtaisia työtavoitteita kartoitettiin avoimella kysymyksellä, ja työn intohimoa 12-osioisella kyselyllä. Henkilökohtaiset työtavoitteet luokiteltiin seitsemään luokkaan: pätevyys (24,4 %), hyvinvointi (20,9 %), organisaatio (15,8 %), työn vaihto (13,3, %), raha (10,0 %), urakehitys (9,6 %) ja työn varmuus (6,0 %). …

Associations of neuroticism with falls in older adults : do psychological factors mediate the association?

Indoor and outdoor falls during the past year were self-reported. Concern about falling was assessed with the Falls Efficacy Scale-International and depressive symptoms with the Geriatric Depression Scale-15. Path modeling was used to examine…

2023
AbstractEvidence on the relationship between psychosocial well-being and physical activity (PA) is insufficient, especially in young adults between 18 and 29 years. Identifying protective factors for psychosocial well-being as well as factors that may promote PA behaviour in this specific age group is crucial.The aim of the present study was to explore the association between self-reported leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and a number of measures of psychosocial well-being in a large sample of Finnish young men. The sample used for this study is based on registers of the Finnish Defence Forces and consist of questionnaire-based data collected from 159,776 young healthy men (18–29 years…
