Association of leisure time physical activity and NMR-detected circulating amino acids in peripubertal girls: A 7.5-year longitudinal study
2017
AbstractThis study investigated the longitudinal associations of physical activity and circulating amino acids concentration in peripubertal girls. Three hundred ninety-six Finnish girls participated in the longitudinal study from childhood (mean age 11.2 years) to early adulthood (mean age 18.2 years). Circulating amino acids were assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. LTPA was assessed by self-administered questionnaire. We found that isoleucine, leucine and tyrosine levels were significantly higher in individuals with lower LTPA than their peers at age 11 (p < 0.05 for all), independent of BMI. In addition, isoleucine and leucine levels increased significantly (~15%) fro…
Does sex hormone-binding globulin cause insulin resistance during pubertal growth?
2019
Background The directional influences between serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), adiposity and insulin resistance during pubertal growth remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate bidirectional associations between SHBG and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and adiposity from childhood to early adulthood. Methods Participants were 396 healthy girls measured at baseline (age 11.2 years) and at 1, 2, 4 and 7.5 years. Serum concentrations of estradiol, testosterone and SHBG were determined by ELISA, glucose and insulin by enzymatic photometry, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassays, whole-body fat mass by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and …
The Role of Parental Support and the Students’ Opinions in Active Finnish Physical Education Homework
2022
Prior research indicates that adolescent boys are often more active than girls, implying a need for special attention to increase the physical activity levels of adolescent girls. Adolescents are at an age where they are especially susceptible to environmental and social influences but still have a limited amount of autonomy over their own behaviors. The effective physical activity programs implemented at this age may benefit health into adulthood. The fact that adolescents’ physical activity is influenced by many factors indicates that to achieve any behavioral change, interventions must target several levels across the socio-ecological model. During childhood, the family is the prim…
Associations between Sports Videogames and Physical Activity in Children
2022
Abstract Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the associations of sports video gaming behaviour in the sociological concept of Physical Activity Relationships (PAR) and to see if sports video gaming differs by gender. Methods: A convenience sample of children between 11–12 years of age (n = 114) from three Finnish regions completed a questionnaire on perceptions of their video gaming and physical activity habits. Differences by gender were tested by contingency tables, and blockwise binary logistic regressions were used to examine the strength of association with physical activity behaviour in PAR. Results: Almost all girls had low importance to video gaming and over two thirds (7…
Tyttö- ja poikalukijoiden representaatiot suomalaisissa uutisteksteissä
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, miten suomalaisnuorten lukutaitoa ja lukemista sukupuolittuneena ja sukupuolittavana ilmiönä merkityksellistetään uutisteksteissä. Teema on hyvin ajankohtainen, sillä 2000-luvulla tehtyjen PISA-tutkimusten myötä tyttöjen ja poikien erilainen lukutaitomenestys on noussut merkittäväksi puheenaiheeksi joukkotiedotusvälineissä. Alan asiantuntijat tarjoavat erilaisia malleja ja syitä tyttöjen menestymiseen ja poikien epäonnistumiseen sekä esittävät lukemisen opetusta koskevia muutosvaatimuksia. Tutkimusaihe on tärkeä,koska kielenkäytössä pyritään oikeuttamaan pedagogisia linjauksia, jotka koskevat sukupuolta ja lukemisen opetusta. Lisäksi kielenkäytöll…
The effects of muscle mass and muscle quality on cardio-metabolic risk in peripubertal girls: a longitudinal study from childhood to early adulthood.
2017
Increased cardio-metabolic risk is well documented in children and adolescents with obesity and normal weight obesity (NWO). However, the associations of muscle mass and muscle quality with cardio-metabolic risk, independent of weight status from childhood to adulthood, has not been examined. A total of 236 girls were followed from pre-puberty to early adulthood. Fat mass (FM) and lean mass (LM) of the whole body were assessed by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; muscle cross-sectional area (mCSA), muscle density (mDen; skeletal muscle fat content) of the lower leg by the peripheral quantitative computerized tomography; and blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotei…
Heteronormeja vastustavan tyttöyden kompensaatiot Siiri Enorannan Surunhauras, lasinterävä ja Maria Turtschaninoffin Anaché: Myter från akkade -nuort…
2017
Pohjoismaiseen lasten- ja nuortenkirjallisuuteen on rakentunut lähes normatiivinen kuva vallitsevaa sukupuolijärjestystä murtavasta vahvasta tyttöydestä, joka on näkyvissä myös suomalaisessa 2010-luvun nykytyttökirjallisuudessa. Vuosituhannen vaihteen jälkeen kirjallisuuden tyttökuvat ovat kuitenkin moninaistuneet, eikä tyttöhahmojen tarvitse olla enää kaikkivoipaisia. Tyttöyden esitysten moninaistumisen myötä aiemmin liki säännönmukaisesti heteronormatiivisten tyttökirjojen päähen-kilöiksi on noussut myös heteronormeja vastustavia tyttöhahmoja. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan Siiri Enorannan Surunhauras, lasinterävä (2015) ja Maria Turtschaninoffin Anaché: Myter från akkade (2012) –nuortenfanta…
Disparities in Accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health Services at the Intersection of Disability and Female Adolescence in Tanzania
2021
Despite at times having greater needs for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, adolescents with disabilities often face challenges when trying to access them. This inaccessibility is further exacerbated during female adolescence. The qualitative study examines how SRH services respond to the characteristics of Tanzanian adolescent females with disabilities. We used the method of empathy-based stories to investigate the perceptions of 136 adolescent females with disabilities of their access to SRH services in Tanzania. The study used thematic content analysis and the Levesque model of health care access was applied as an analytical framework. The results demonstrate that discrimina…

Associations of temperament types and gender of early adolescents and teachers with adolescents’ school well‐being
2021
This study examined the role of temperament type and gender of adolescents and teachers in adolescents’ well‐being in school. The sample consisted of 677 Finnish students and 56 classroom teachers. Parents rated adolescent temperament and teachers rated their own temperament in autumn of Grade 6. Self‐reports of school well‐being among adolescents were obtained in autumn and the fall of Grade 6. The results showed that being a girl and having resilient temperament type predicted higher school well‐being. In turn, boys with undercontrolled temperament, who were otherwise at risk for decreased school well‐being, particularly benefited from having a female teacher with resilient temperament. O…
