Background: Internationally comparable evidence is important to advocate for young people’s physical activity. The aim of this article present the inaugural Shanghai (China) Report Card on Physical Activity Children and Youth. Methods: Since no national data are available, working group developed survey questionnaire carried out school surveys students (n = 71,404), parents 70,346), administrators teachers 1398). grades 9 report card indicators were assigned in accordance with results...

To investigate the use of accelerometer-determined physical activity (PA) intensity variables as objective PA for estimating VO2max in Japanese adult women.The subjects this study were 148 women aged 20 to 69 yr. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was measured with a maximal incremental test on bicycle ergometer. Daily step counts (SC) and amount spent moderate vigorous (MVPA) (VPA) using accelerometer-based monitors 7 consecutive days. Using data age, SC, MVPA, or VPA, either body mass index...

Regular exercise or high physical activity levels are associated with higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations; however, the effect of acute on 25(OH)D concentrations remains unclear.We aimed to clarify whether endurance has a direct circulating in young adults.Exercise intervention trial an institutional practice.Twenty young, active adults (males, n = 10; females, 10).Participants were asked perform cycling for 30 minutes at 70% maximal oxygen uptake.The and other blood...

Background Men who have sex with men (MSM) are a population greater likelihood of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Early detection HCV status is beneficial to therapy and prevention further transmit HCV. The testing rate in MSM low, so it important investigate factors that influence willingness order increase rate. Objectives Based on health belief model (HBM), this study investigated influencing among MSM, provided basis for promoting MSM. Methods Non-probability sampling was employed collect...

There is limited evidence for the prevalence of co-existence physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SED), its correlates among children adolescents. This study has two aims: 1) to investigate PA SED, their co-existence, 2) examine associations between or both with gender age adolescents in Shanghai, China. Using a cross-sectional design (conducted from September December 2014), 50,090 (10–18 years old, 50.4% boys) were included this study. A self-reporting questionnaire was used...

Background: The purpose was to develop new maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max ) prediction models using a perceptually regulated 3-minute walk test. Methods: VO measured with incremental cycle test in 283 Japanese adults. A conducted at self-regulated intensity corresponding ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) 13. Results: distance (3MWD) significantly related ( r = .60, P &lt; .001). Three were developed by multiple regression estimate data on gender, age, 3MWD, and either BMI [BMI model,...

Here, we aimed to examine the associations between levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and inflammatory cytokines in healthy Japanese adults. A total 95 adults (61 women; age range 21–69 years) participated our study. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for 25(OH)D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin [1,25(OH)2D], interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-17 (IL-17) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays kits. Total percent body fat was determined by dual energy X-ray...

Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) is an important metabolic regulator suggested to improve glucose metabolism and prevent dyslipidemia. An FGF21-resistant state that increases circulating FGF21 has been reported in obese patients. Although regular exercise prevents disease, the relationship of fitness level serum body fat distribution humans remains poorly understood.The objective study was determine among concentration, cardiorespiratory (CRF) level, visceral area (VFA).Serum measured by...

Low circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration has been linked to a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease. One explanation for this phenomenon is that there an association between the serum 25(OH)D level and lipid profiles. However, studies examining relationship are limited have yielded inconsistent results. We thus aimed evaluate profiles in Japanese men taking into consideration confounding factors, including visceral fat area (VFA) cardiorespiratory fitness.A total 136...
