BackgroundDementia is associated with a high burden of dependency and disability. Physical frailty (hereafter referred to as frailty) multisystem dysregulation that has been identified risk factor for dementia. The aim this study was examine the association its individual components all-cause dementia incidence in cohort UK adults.MethodsParticipants Biobank data available without any form at baseline were included prospective study. Frailty defined using modified version phenotype based on...
This study aimed to compare estimations of sedentary time (SED) and spent in physical activity (PA) intensities children with overweight/obesity across different age‐appropriate cut‐points based on body‐worn attachment sites acceleration metrics. A total 104 overweight/obese (10.1 ± 1.1 years old, 43 girls) concurrently wore ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers their right hip non‐dominant wrist for 7 days (24 hours). Euclidean norm −1 g (ENMO) counts from both vertical axis (VACounts) vector...
The aim of the present study was to examine associations physical fitness, sedentary time, and activity (PA) with working memory neuroelectric in children overweight/obesity. Seventy-nine overweight/obesity (10.2 ± 1.1 years old) participated this cross-sectional study. We assessed fitness components (ie, muscular strength, speed agility, cardiorespiratory fitness) using ALPHA battery. Sedentary time PA were by GT3X+accelerometers (ActiGraph). Working delayed non-matched-to-sample task; mean...
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the associations of grip strength with incidence and mortality from dementia whether these differ by sociodemographic lifestyle factors. Methods A total 466 788 participants UK Biobank (median age 56.5 years, 54.5% women). The outcome was all‐cause exposure strength. Grip assessed using a Jamar J00105 hydraulic hand dynamometer. Results Excluding first 2 years follow‐up (landmark analysis), mean 9.1 (inter‐quartile range: 8.3; 9.7) for 9.3...
Depression and anxiety are the leading mental health problems worldwide; depression is ranked as cause of global disability with disorders sixth. Preventive strategies based on identification modifiable factors merit exploration. The aim present study was to investigate associations handgrip strength (HGS) incident explore how these differ by socio-demographic, lifestyle, health-related factors.The analytic sample comprised 162 167 participants (55% women), aged 38-70 years, from UK Biobank...
Pediatric overweight and obesity are highly prevalent across the world, with implications for poorer cognitive brain health. Exercise might potentially attenuate these adverse consequences.To investigate effects of an exercise program on health indicators, including intelligence, executive function, academic performance, outcomes, among children or to explore potential mediators moderators main exercise.All preexercise postexercise data this 20-week randomized clinical trial 109 aged 8 11...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between adolescent and parental perceptions neighborhood safety adolescents' physical activity in multiple locations investigate moderating effect sex within association. Method: This cross-sectional conducted with 928 adolescents aged 12 16 years old 1 their parents. Adolescents parents reported (traffic safety, pedestrian crime stranger danger safety). how often they were physically active (physical neighborhood, parks, for...
The purposes of this research were to study the convergent validity Mode and Frequency Commuting To From School Questionnaire using objectively assessed steps time spent in different physical activity intensities compare self-reported versus objective journey Spanish youths.Three hundred eighty-nine youth aged 7-19 years asked complete questionnaire wore an accelerometer for five days. commuting distance from home school estimated Google MapsTM.There significant differences between passive...
Objectives: The aims of this study were (i) to examine the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and white matter volume test whether those associations differ normal-weight overweight/obese children (ii) analyze other physical components (i.e., motor muscular) volume, (iii) fitness-related in related academic performance. Methods: Data came from two independent projects: ActiveBrains project (n = 100; 10.0 ± 1.1 years; 100% overweight/obese; Spain) FITKids2 242; 8.6 0.5 36%...
Abstract Large epidemiological studies that use accelerometers for physical behavior and sleep assessment differ in the location of accelerometer attachment signal aggregation metric chosen. This study aimed to assess comparability acceleration metrics between commonly-used body-attachment locations 24 hours, waking sleeping test PA cut points dominant non-dominant wrist. Forty-five young adults (23 women, 18–41 years) were included GT3X + (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL, USA) placed on their...
We determined the representation of women in sport sciences research leadership by assessing proportion (i) leading authorship positions randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from January 2000 to September 2020 journals and (ii) editorial boards these as 2020.Review.We searched PubMed for RCTs 1, 2000, 2020, a representative sample top identified sex first senior authors through photographs, pronouns, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, institutional, or other profiles. This strategy was...
The aim of this study was to examine the associations fitness and physical activity with academic achievement in children overweight/obesity. A total 106 (10.0 ± 1.1y, 61 boys) participated. components were assessed by field laboratory-based tests. Physical measured via accelerometry. a standardised test school-grades. Field-based cardiorespiratory associated language skills (ß-standardised- ranging from 0.281 0.365, p < 0.01). field-based muscular strength grade point average, natural...
