Continuity and changes in commuting mode and influence on physical activity, BMI and waist circumference among Finnish adults

2022

Regular physical activity (PA) has been found to be important for cardiovascular health and longevity. However, notable proportion of adult population does not meet the national PA recommendations. Active transport is one domain of physical activity, that could be a time-efficient way to increase PA and reach the national recommendations. Additionally, it could have a positive effect to body composition. nonPeerReviewed

Relationship between different domains of physical activity and positive mental health among young adult men

2020

Abstract Background There is growing evidence on positive effects of physical activity (PA) on mental health. However, the focus of previous research on this relationship has typically been on mental health from the perspective of mental health problems rather than from the perspective of mental wellbeing. Further, previous research has commonly focused rather on leisure time PA without evidence on the role of other domains of PA. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between positive mental health (PMH) and different domains of PA in young Finnish men. The secondary aim was to examine the reasons for physical inactivity among individuals with a lo…

Cycling but not walking to work or study is associated with physical fitness, body composition and clustered cardiometabolic risk in young men

2020

IntroductionActive commuting is an inexpensive and accessible form of physical activity and may be beneficial to health. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of active commuting and its subcomponents, cycling and walking, with cardiometabolic risk factors, physical fitness and body composition in young men.MethodsParticipants were 776 Finnish young (26±7 years), healthy adult men. Active commuting was measured with self-report. Waist circumference was measured and body mass index (BMI) calculated. Aerobic fitness was measured with bicycle ergometer and muscular fitness with maximal leg and bench press, sit-ups, push-ups and standing long jump. Cardiometabolic risk factor…

Associations of active commuting to school in childhood and physical activity in adulthood

2023

AbstractThis study examined whether active commuting to school in childhood and adolescence predicted active commuting to work and overall physical activity (PA) in adulthood. Participants from the Young Finns Study (N = 2436) were aged 9–18 years in 1980 and followed up until 2018/2020. Their commuting modes to school were assessed with a self-reported questionnaire in 1980. Adulthood PA was assessed through self-reports regarding commuting modes to work (2001–2018), leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) (2001–2018), and objectively measured daily steps (2007–2018/2020). Associations between childhood commuting and adulthood PA were evaluated using regression analyses and multilevel models…

The association of childhood commuting modes and physical activity in adult age

2022

Background Physically active lifestyle prevents and contributes to managing non-communicable diseases. Childhood physical activities have shown to associate with physically active lifestyle in adulthood. More research on which childhood physical activity modes associate with physical activity in later life is still needed. Within the present study, we examined how physically active commuting to school in childhood contributed to overall physical activity in adulhood. Methods The participants (N = 3596) were from the population-based, longitudinal Cardiovascular Risks in Young Finns Study. Questionnaires were used in assessing subjects' childhood (1980) and adulthood (2001-2018) physical act…

Association between spinal disorders and different domains of physical activity among young adult men

2022

BackgroundThere is limited evidence of how physical activity (PA) associates with low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP). Particularly, the association between occupational or commuting PA and LBP/NP is unclear. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between spinal disorders and different physical activity domains in young and healthy adult men.MethodsSelf-reported leisure time, occupational and commuting PA, as well as LBP and NP, were studied using questionnaires among young Finnish males (n = 1,630). Logistic regression analysis was used to study the associations of PA domains, physical fitness, and spinal disorders. Regression models were adjuste…

Liikunnanopettajien fyysinen aktiivisuus

2011

Lahtinen, Tomi & Lievonen, Matti 2011. Liikunnanopettajien fyysinen aktiivisuus. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu – tutkielma. 93 s. TNS Gallup Oy:n (2005) teettämän Kansallisen liikuntatutkimuksen mukaan suomalaisista 32 % liikkuu terveysliikuntasuosituksiin nähden riittävästi. Vastaavasti liian vähän liikkuvia on 2.8 miljoonaa suomalaista. Suomessa liikunnanopettajien fyysistä aktiivisuutta ei ole aikaisemmin tutkittu. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, liikkuvatko liikun-nanopettajat riittävästi terveysliikuntasuositusten kannalta, miten työmatkat kuljetaan ja kuinka fyysisesti rasittavaa on liikunnanopettajien työ. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin harkinnanvarais…
