Body image (BI) plays a critical role in mental health, with negative perceptions often linked to feelings of low mood. Physical activity (PA) has been shown enhance self-acceptance and reduce emotions, suggesting it may help mitigate the impact BI on This study examines relationship between mood among adolescents, explores PA as mediator this relationship. The had cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 154,183 adolescents (average age 13.6 ± 1.6 years) across 43 countries, using...
This study explored the association between ideal cardiovascular health behaviors (ICHBs) and mental well-being in Baltic adolescents using data from 2018 HBSC survey. ICHBs included smoking status, body mass index, physical activity, healthy diet adherence. Mental low mood, irritability, nervousness, sleep difficulties, while life satisfaction self-reported health. Multi-regression analyses were performed. The 12,934 (mean age: 13.6 ± 1.6 years). Non-smokers, non-overweight individuals,...
Abstract Souza, LR, Vicente, JB, Melo, GR, Moraes, VC, Olher, RR, Sousa, IC, Peruchi, LH, Neves, RV, Rosa, TS, Ferreira, AP, and MR. Acute hypotension after moderate-intensity handgrip exercise in hypertensive elderly people. J Strength Cond Res 32(10): 2971–2977, 2018—Isometric (IHG) training is effective reducing blood pressure (BP), but little known about the occurrence of acute by postisometric (PIEH) underlying mechanisms. Ten sedentary people (7 women 3 men) individuals, with a mean...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of isometric handgrip (IHG) training on blood pressure (BP) reduction in prehypertensive and hypertensive elderly people, possible role lactate redox balance. Thirty-three older (75.3±1.3 years old) were allocated a non-exercise control (CG, n=11), (PHG, n=10), (HG, n=12) groups. PHG HG performed total 8 sets 1-min bilateral contractions at 30% maximal voluntary contraction, each separated by 1-minute rest-pause. IHG was for 8-week, 3 times week...
Abstract Background Low muscle quality index (MQI) is a potential risk of developing functional impairments in older people. However, considering that individuals with Down syndrome (DS) present faster decline biological aging, an investigation on MQI DS necessary. The aims this cross‐sectional study were to compare (1) between adolescents and without (2) evaluate laboratory versus field‐based estimates MQI. Methods Fifty‐six recruited separated into two groups: ( n = 30, 13 boys 17 girls;...
The muscle quality index (MQI) is associated with numerous health outcomes in adults; however, the effects of distinct MQI on functional capacity obese older women have not yet been fully investigated. Thus, we investigated contribution different indices TUG performance prediction women. We secondarily evaluated association between MQI, aerobic (Treadmill and 6-minute walk test), obesity (BMI, body fat percentage, neck, waist, hip circumference).Participants included 64 (mean age 67.05 ±...
The 24-hour Movement Behaviour (24-h MovBeh) paradigm, encompassing physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep patterns, is recognised as a holistic approach to adolescent health. It emphasises promoting PA, reducing SB ensuring sufficient sleep, especially in school environments. Understanding the links between lifestyle factors health outcomes crucial for clinical public health, informing interventions changes among adolescents. This study aims assess adherence 24-h MovBeh...

Thus, present study aimed evaluate changes in mood state profile Brazilian Para athletes at 2 different time points during pandemic, specifically their qualification for Tokyo Paralympic Games. Design This used longitudinal design. Methods included...
The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) is an instrument that assesses subjective well-being in relation to life was originally proposed the English language. To analyze psychometric properties do SWLS for use Para athletes. A convenience sample of 309 Brazilian Paralympic athletes (age: 33.08 ± 9.85 years) both sexes chosen. We conducted online survey, and participants completed anamnesis questionnaires using Qualtrics® software. confirmatory, comparison fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis (TLI)...
Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar as respostas cardiovasculares e de óxido nítrico (NO) à contração isométrica voluntária máxima (CIVM) com diferentes grupos musculares (leg press [LEP] preensão manual [IHG]) adolescentes sem síndrome Down (SD). Alem a força IHG absoluta relativa entre os grupos. Onze SD (14,1 ± 1,0 anos) dez (13,7 1,25 realizaram duas sessões experimentais exercícios LEP IHG: 1) sessão familiarização 2) 3 tentativas x 5 segundos na CIVM 3- intervalo mínimo descanso. A...
A paralisia cerebral é oriunda de lesões neurológicas com surgimentos em três diferentes condições, acordo a região neuroanatomica lesada, como espástica, atáxica e atetóide. Assim, crianças adolescentes possuem declínios no controle motor na realização movimentos voluntários, o grau desempenho apresentado será intimamente relacionado severidade da lesão cerebral. O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar por meio uma revisão sistemática influência intervenções físicas motoras desenvolvimento...

People with Down syndrome(DS) present neurophysiological problems that could be alleviated the systematic practice of Physical Education(PE). However, there are questions regarding laboratory assessments for prescription exercises, as no adequate equipment or protocols this group, difficulty individual DS concerning proposed tests, and in controlling emotions when a environment because they intellectual disability. The objective study was to report approach procedures data collection...

METHODS: Twelve children attended HEPchild program which consisted pre assessments, KIDS 12 weeks FOU. The PAL, SB FI were assessed throughout questionnaires. RESULTS: anthropometric reduced (p<0.05) after was maintained...
Hypertension is common in people aged 65 or more. The isometric handgrip (IHG) a model of effective exercise reducing blood pressure (BP). However, the mechanisms involved post-isometric hypotension (PIEH) remain unclear. Nitric oxide (NO) potent vasodilator and may be PIEH. PURPOSE: To determine response hypotensive mechanism involving older with arterial hypertension. METHODS: Ten sedentary hypertensive elderly (73.2±2.2 years), underwent two experimental sessions using portable...
