Background: This study examines the impact of childhood demographic characteristics, such as socioeconomic status, health and well-being family dynamics relationships, religious spiritual on physical activity levels in adulthood across 22 countries.Methods: We analyzed data from Global Flourishing Study (GFS), which includes 202,898 participants countries. The examined whether characteristics predict these relationships differ by country.Results: between predictors varied However, overall...

Background: Firefighters are required to have high levels of aerobic and anaerobic power because they often perform physically demanding work in dangerous environments. Therefore, it is important find out salient factors influencing voluntary exercise training among Korean firefighters based on well-validated theory. Methods: The present study conducted an elicitation elicit behavioral, normative, control beliefs about identified that a significant indirect effect behavior through intention...

Sexual assault is one of potential factors that may greatly affect an individual's sport participation. The purpose this study to investigate the effect experiencing physically or non-physically forced sexual activity on trajectories participation from adolescence young adulthood.This used National Longitudinal Study Adolescent Health (Add Health) data. Group-based trajectory modeling was utilized examine adulthood.A three-group model (high-stable group, high-decreasing and low-stable group)...

According to previous research, participation in exercise training (ET) by South Korean firefighters varies with shift type, and the effect of type is greater large cities than small towns. However, types differ among regions, depending on number dispatches. Therefore, present study examined impact fire dispatches other situational factors ET. A series multilevel logistic regression analysis was applied analyze data collected from (N = 5219) 2017. firefighters, ET higher those who have...

Objective To identify and evaluate salient beliefs about sport participation among South Korean university students. Participants: Total 234 undergraduate students were recruited in the main study from one located Seoul, Korea. Methods: An elicitation was conducted to participation. Structural equation modeling used examine effects of elicited on intention participate sports behavior. Results: Four ten identified (i.e., "builds social relationship," "makes me tired," "takes too much time,"...

Background: According to the National Fire Agency, 69% of South Korean firefighters prefer three circuit system. Since system involves working for 24 h consecutively, it could reduce work performance and their participation in exercise training (ET) fitness levels be affected by shift type. The present study examined impact type on ET identified interaction effect between city size among firefighters. Methods: A series logistic regression models were used analyze data collected from...

Abstract Background Childhood obesity is a serious public health threat. Although many researchers conducted research on socioecological determinants of childhood obesity, their longitudinal effects remain inconclusive especially among young children. This study examined factors and associated transitions children’s body mass index (BMI) status throughout kindergarten to elementary school years, using data from national sample. Methods The baseline sample this included 1264 children...

Abstract Background Participating in voluntary exercise training is important to meet occupational requirements as well firefighters’ health and safety. The purpose of this study identify salient beliefs associated with among firefighters the pandemic era by comparing outcomes those from a previous elicitation study, which was carried out before COVID-19 outbreak. Methods A total 57 are recruited participate an study. Participants requested respond six open-ended questions related training....

The main aim of the present study is to evaluate reach, dose, fidelity, and outcomes interventions for promoting voluntary exercise training among South Korean firefighters. Four firefighters (i.e., virtual reality system intervention, poster monitor wearable health device intervention) were performed in a fire station located Seoul, Korea. To reach dose received related each participants asked answer several simple questions. Three process evaluators completed 20-item survey share their...

It is important for firefighters to maintain high levels of fitness since they are responsible protecting the safety and well-being public.In Korea, about 70% ask accept 3-circuit system which considered be effective in recovering from fatigue, reducing commuting time, maintaining a regular daily routine.However, effect on their management has not been demonstrated.In this context, present study aims examine impact shift-type exercise training (ET) identify interaction between city size ET...

Previous studies have identified that a behavior can occur through the strongest predictor intention, but there is gap between intention and behavior. Dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) known to account for variance in sporting behaviors human animal subjects. However, relationship DRD2 sport participation has been poorly studied, limited available reports are inconsistent. The present study was performed examine impact of on among Korean university students based integrated behavioral model (IBM)....

Background: Based on previous research that identified salient beliefs with regard to sport participation among university students, four types of interventions (i.e., social dance class, video, poster, and e-mail) were developed promote the target population. The main purpose this study is evaluate process outcomes for promoting students.Methods: number views registered videos acknowledgements through e-mail computed reach dose received. Three evaluators also responded a 22-item survey...
