In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, social restrictions to contain spread virus have disrupted behaviors across 24-h day including physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep among children (5-12 years old) adolescents (13-17 old). Preliminary evidence reports significant decreases in increases schedules/sleep quality adolescents. This commentary discusses impact COVID-19-related on Furthermore, we suggest recommendations through lens a socio-ecological model provide strategies for...
ObjectivesTo assess physical activity (PA), mental health and well-being of adults in the United Kingdom (UK), Ireland, New Zealand Australia during initial stages National governments' Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) containment responses.DesignObservational, cross-sectional.MethodsAn online survey was disseminated to (n = 8,425; 44.5 ± 14.8y) residing UK, within first 2-6 weeks government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions. Main outcome measures included: Stages Change scale for exercise...
Background Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), the referent measure of aortic stiffness, is an established vascular aging. In studies where cfPWV cannot be measured, alternative methods are needed to help promote research on This study examines construct validity a PWV estimated from age and blood pressure (ePWV). The specific aims to: 1) explore strength association between ePWV, cfPWV, other measures aging; 2) examine sensitivity specificity elevated ePWV (≥10m/s) in relation...
Few studies have employed experimental designs adequate for documenting the value added of studying abroad; that is, learning outcomes above and beyond which may be achieved in domestic or traditional campus-based courses. Using a pre-/posttest, two-by-two factor design course location (study abroad vs. home campus) by subject matter (sustainability nonsustainability), we found significant highest order interactions three dependent measures global citizenry. Results suggest it is combination...
Conventionally, the assessments of endothelial function and arterial stiffness require different sets equipment, making inclusion both tests impractical for clinical epidemiological studies. Pulse wave analysis (PWA) provides useful information regarding mechanical properties tree can also be used to assess function. PWA is a simple, valid, reliable, inexpensive technique, offering great potential. The current paper will outline how measure using this technique include discussion validity...
Over the past decade there have been increasing calls to develop capacity of United States students think and act globally (Stearns, 2009). One method encouraging civic global citizenship is through study abroad (Tarrant, 2010). However, educational value legitimacy abroad, in particular short-term programs, has questioned (Tarrant & Lyons, 2012). This review commentary will endeavor support as a creative, engaging, effective educative practice. Building on proposed theoretical framework...
Abstract Understanding the effects of acute exercise on executive function in prepubescent children may be important for enhancement school performance. This study assessed effect an bout continuous (CONT) or intermittent (INT), moderate‐intensity treadmill young children. Twenty healthy children, mean ( SD ); age: 8.8 (0.8) years; height: 140 (9) cm; weight: 36 (11) kg; boys: n = 9, performed a graded‐exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake, and two 15‐min submaximal bouts...
This study assessed the effectiveness of a 6-week, high-intensity, games-based intervention on physiological and anthropometric indices health, in normal weight (n = 26; 32.5 ± 8.9 kg) obese 29; 49.3 children 32 boys, 23 girls), aged 8-10 years. Children were randomised into an exercise or control group. The group participated twice-weekly, 40 min active games intervention, alongside their usual school physical education classes. did not take part intervention. Before after participants...
As leisure studies and higher education more generally embrace the themes of sustainability global citizenship, it is important to investigate educational initiatives that purport achieve these goals. Using transformational theory transformative learning, this study examined experiences 150 US university students who participated in three interdisciplinary short-term abroad programmes focus on Australia, New Zealand Fiji. The are highly experiential with curriculum structured around modules...
What is the central question of this study? Continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy, coupled with venous and arterial occlusions, offers an economical, non-invasive alternative to measuring skeletal muscle blood flow oxygen consumption, but its reliability during exercise has not been established. main finding importance? spectroscopy devices can reliably assess local consumption from vastus lateralis in healthy, physically active adults. The patterns response exhibited varying intensity...
While short and poor quality sleep have been associated with childhood obesity, no known studies examined social jetlag. Social jetlag is the discrepancy between an individual's circadian clock rhythms, measured as difference in hours midpoint of during work/school days on free (weekend) days. This study investigated independent associations duration, disturbances, adiposity children.A cross-sectional study, including 341 children (50% female) aged 8-10 years. Five dependent variables: body...
