Introduction Affective responses during physical activity (PA) are important for engagement in PA programs and adherence to a physically active lifestyle. Little is known about the affective bouts lasting longer than 45 minutes. Therefore, aims of present study were analyse acute effects on three-hour outdoor intervention (mountain hiking) compared sedentary control situation an indoor treadmill condition. Methods Using randomized crossover design, 42 healthy participants randomly exposed...

Abstract Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) and aerobic exercise are lifestyle interventions to prevent or manage different metabolic diseases. How these interact, including the impact of meal timing, is not well understood. The aim this study was examine influence TRF on fat oxidation during exercise, whereby participants performed an 8‐week max ‐training program either in fasted state after a carbohydrate‐based snack. 36 were randomized into three groups. (1) Training sessions state; (2)...

Background: The age of college students is considered as crucial for developing health-related behaviors, e.g., alcohol consumption or a physically active lifestyle. Previous research reported positive relationship between and physical activity (PA) in students. However, the main body was done from United States who might differ European Objectives: Thus aim this study to analyze PA sample Austrian Methods: In cross-sectional design, 861 various fields responded web-based questionnaire....

To analyse the circumstances of fatal and non-fatal mountain hiking accidents caused by falls.The study was designed as a retrospective analysis. Mountain falls were documented during 9-year period (2006-2014). After screening all data for potential exclusion criteria final sample size 5368 5665 victims included into analyses. Main outcome measures details about accidents, victims, type trail surface.The annual number showed continuous increase from 467 in 2006 to 700 2014. In total, 5.8%...

Green exercise, defined as physical activity in natural environments, might have positive effects on stress-related physiological measures. Little is known about the acute of green exercise bouts lasting longer than 60 min. Therefore, aim present study was to analyze a three-hour intervention (mountain hiking) responses. Using randomized crossover design, 42 healthy participants were exposed three different conditions field-based experiment: outdoor mountain hiking, indoor treadmill walking,...

Low physical fitness (PF) has been associated with higher risk of suffering from different diseases. The importance PF is evident already in early ages, as children’s appears to be a key factor their future and activity level. Among the variables that may have an influence on PF, parent’s socioeconomic status active/inactive behaviors stressed several previous studies. However, literature mostly reported this association through cross-sectional purpose study was examine impact parental...

Zusammenfassung. Affektive Reaktionen während körperlicher Aktivität haben in den letzten Jahren vermehrtes Forschungsinteresse erfahren. In englischsprachigen Forschungsarbeiten werden vielfach die zwei Single-Item-Verfahren „Feeling Scale“ ( Hardy & Rejeski, 1989 ) und „Felt Arousal Svebak Murgatroyd, 1985 zur Erhebung angewendet. Für deutschsprachigen Raum liegen bisher keine validierten Übersetzungen dieser Verfahren vor. Daher wurden 82 Personen bei einer Fahrradergometrie deutsche...

Physical activity is a promising intervention to restore cognitive function after prolonged sedentary periods. However, little known about the effect of short physical bouts on cognition especially among individuals that are used activity. Therefore, goal present study was assess impact single ten-minute bout domain visual attention compared behavior in population physically active sport students. Using randomized controlled design, 51 healthy and students [mean age: 22.3 (SD: 2.0) years,...

Increasing evidence suggests positive associations between physical activity, social support, and quality of life in later life. However, the role activity support influence on is unclear. In this viewpoint, definitions central terms key research findings factors influencing older adults are provided. We highlight importance both a physically active lifestyle high positively we question direct effect present data cross-sectional study to assumption that might be influenced by perceived...

Green exercise might have positive effects on health and affective states. Little is known about the ideal characteristics of natural environment, where conducted in. Thus, primary aim present study was to investigate anthropogenic elements acute stress-related physiological responses states in green exercise. Using a crossover field design, 52 healthy participants were exposed two different mountain hiking conditions: An environment with less an more elements. Pre post conditions, salivary...

Exercise at temperatures below -15°C induces drying and cooling of lung airways which causes exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) respiratory symptoms, especially in winter sport athletes. The objective this study was to evaluate whether a heat moisture exchanger (HME) worn during intense cold air exercise improves function reduces symptoms healthy athletes.Seven active males six females (maximum oxygen uptake 61.9 ± 6.9 52.2 5.3 mL/kg/min), all or former athletes, completed running...

According to the risk compensation hypothesis, use of a ski helmet might provide false sense security, resulting in riskier behavior by skiing faster or more aggressively, which lead an increased injury risk. Injury anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common diagnosis downhill skiers. Thus, aim study was evaluate potential impact risk-taking and on ACL recreational skiing. Eighty-two injured 446 uninjured skiers with mean age 37.3 ± 11.9 years (52% females) were surveyed during winter season...

The aim of the present study was to compare acute effects a climbing intervention (CI) on affective responses with different exercise (swimming, SI) and an occupational therapy (OTI) in children adolescents during in-patient treatment for mental health disorders. following designed as cross-over study. Participants completed three single 60 min interventions CI, SI OTI. Affective were assessed pre post at 20 40 intervention. sample consisted 33 mental-health inpatient care (ᴓage: 13.3 ± 2.2...

Knowledge about potential protective factors against mental health problems is highly needed. Regular physical activity (PA) in an outdoor environment, like mountain exercising, might reduce psychological distress. Therefore, the aims of present study were to assess prevalence exercisers and detect associated with In a cross-sectional design, we collected self-reported data 1,536 Austrian exercisers. The distress (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale), level PA International Physical...

The present study evaluated the effects of a preacclimatization program comprising seven passive 1-h exposures to 4500-m normobaric hypoxia on prevalence and severity acute mountain sickness (AMS) during subsequent exposure real high altitude in persons susceptible AMS.The project was designed as randomized controlled trial including 32 healthy female male participants with known susceptibility AMS symptoms. After baseline measurements, were randomly assigned or control group receive (seven...

Physical activity and physical fitness play an important role in the prevention of overweight obesity childhood adolescence reduce risk becoming or obese adulthood.To evaluate development non-overweight primary school children from first to third grades.Using a longitudinal study design, body height weight as well Tyrol, Austria were measured five times during period 2.5 years using German motor performance test (DMT 6-18).In total, 266 (55% boys) with mean age 6.4 ± 0.5 at baseline...
