Unhealthy lifestyles risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, poor diet, and obesity, have been associated with a higher of all-cause cause-specific mortality. However, composite score these unhealthy behaviours has not considered, particularly in Latin American populations. Herein, we examined the association lifestyle factors mortality Mexican adults. A total 159,517 adults from Mexico City Prospective Study (MCPS) were included. Data on sociodemographic,...
24-hour movement behaviors, including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time (ST), and sleep duration, have important implications for health across the lifespan. However, no studies exist that examined integration of these behaviors in Latin America. The purpose this study was to examine prevalence meeting Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guideline recommendations sociodemographic correlates guidelines adults from eight American countries.This a multi-national...
Introducción: La práctica profesional constituye un componente fundamental en la formación docente, ya que facilita integración de conocimientos teóricos y prácticos. Sin embargo, los estudiantes esta etapa enfrentan diversos desafíos debido a su limitada experiencia pedagógica, cuales no siempre se resuelven positivamente. retroalimentación, especialmente tiempo real, es crucial para abordar estas dificultades mediante correcciones inmediatas ajustes efectivos. Objetivo: Analizar eficacia...
In recent decades, the school population has undergone behavioral changes that have affected their health and adult life. The current educational scenario presents high levels of sedentary behavior, physical inactivity, low fitness, obesity, non-compliance with sleep recommendations. Chile, scientific evidence on associations between these behaviors is incipient.To analyze association activity, fitness BMI minutes in Chilean children aged 10 to 11 years.A non-probabilistic convenience sample...
Abstract This study aimed to compare compliance with 24-h movement guidelines across countries and examine the associations markers of adiposity in adults from eight Latin American countries. The sample consisted 2338 aged 18–65 years. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) sedentary behavior (SB) data were objectively measured using accelerometers. Sleep duration was self-reported a daily log. Body mass index waist circumference assessed as adiposity. Meeting defined ≥ 150 min/week...
Evidence suggests that moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is necessary for health benefits. Immersive virtual reality a technology uses images, sounds, and tactile sensations from simulated world encourage healthy behaviours activity. The aims of this research are (1) determine the duration intensity performed through immersive reality; (2) differences in according gender. Methods: A nonprobabilistic convenience sample composed 39 university students education pedagogy, who...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the association between active transportation and obesity indicators in adults from eight Latin American countries. Methods: Data ELANS study, an observational multi-country (n: 8336; 18–65 years), were used. Active (walking cycling) leisure time physical activity assessed using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (long version). considered were: body mass index, waist neck circumference. Results: In total sample, average dedicated...
Emotions are embedded in the everyday life of every individual. In same way their emotions immersed cultural legacy, they conditioned by behaviors that cannot be separated from an educational context. this sense, physical education (PE) has been reported as a school subject facilitates emotional expression primary and secondary students. Thus, it seems to important understand how applied methodologies enhance context help develop students’ skills regarding management. context, 18 articles...
Background: Concurrent training of strength and endurance has been widely ued in the field health, with favorable effects on body composition. However, effect composition a ludic-motor concurrent proposal adults Down syndrome not quantified yet. The aim this study was to determine program based motor games indicators cardiometabolic risk schooled male syndrome. Methods: sample is composed 15 from Chile. Body variables such as mass index, waist circumference, height ratio, skin folds,...
The state of confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic affected quality life general population. This study aims to define and contrast an explanatory model in adults analyze relationships between these variables based on sex. A total 872 people from Chile aged 17 50 (M = 21.70 years; SD= 3.272), both sexes (60.90% male 39.1% female) participated this research, whom 46.6% were not confined when tested 53.4% confined, analyzing life. multi-group structural equations was performed, which...
The accumulation of body fat is an important cardiometabolic risk factor; however, there no consensus about which measure more reliable for the assessment in people with intellectual disabilities. aim present study was to primarily validate submandibular skinfold as anthropometric measurement children, adolescents, and adults disabilities, using a cross-sectional made up 131 (67.2% men) mild moderate disability. indicators used were: mass index (kg/m2), neck circumference (cm), waist calf...
Traditional models to train and teach young players in team sports assume that athletes learn as linear systems. However, an actual methodology called Non-Linear Pedagogy (NLP) accounts for the fact are complex dynamic Experiences handball under this scarce; due this, observational study has been conducted with a follow-up, idiographic multidimensional design, which 14 female school belonging four different local teams Santiago, Chile (age = 15.55 + 0.51) agreed participate three special...
