The third edition of Notes from Underground: Zines and the Politics Alternative Culture by Stephen Duncombe was published in 2017. author researches zines as an underground’s mouthpiece, opportunity for “losers” who do not fit to speak up themselves. According Duncombe, serve identity constructor help find one’s place through joining a community like-minded individuals. By deviating conventional publishing practices, zinesters, following DIY principle, prefer authenticity professionalism,...
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are thought to have low levels of physical activity (PA), but few studies used objective measures PA in this population.We recruited patients mild, moderate, and severe CHD cardiac transplant recipients, aged 8 19 years, from pediatric cardiology clinics throughout British Columbia Yukon, Canada. Participants were fitted an ActiGraph accelerometer be worn over the right hip for 7 days. Daily means estimated a variety accelerometry-derived metrics,...
To assess the criterion validity, internal consistency, reliability and cut-point for Physical Activity Questionnaire Children (PAQ-C) Adolescents (PAQ-A) in children adolescents with congenital heart disease-a special population at high cardiovascular risk whom physical activity has not been extensively evaluated.We included 84 participants (13.6±2.9 yrs, 50% female) simple (37%), moderate (31%), or severe disease (27%), as well cardiac transplant recipients (6%), from BC Children's...
Abstract Background Despite a growing body of research investigating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in schools, there are limited process evaluations their implementation. This is concerning because important for appropriately interpreting outcome findings and augmenting intervention design. manuscript presents evaluation Making HIIT , school-based intervention. Methods The spanned 8 weeks was completed at three schools Greater Brisbane, Australia. Ten classes (intervention group)...
Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is a convenient and cost-effective tool that can be used to monitor high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE). However, no methodological study has demonstrated the validity RPE in this context. Therefore, aim was validate calibrate for monitoring HIIE adolescents.
The impact of maternity (Mat) on subsequent athletic performance is not well known. This study aims to investigate the among elite marathoners their overall progression. For each runner listed in top 150 female marathoners, who had experienced a mid-career maternity, development was reconstituted throughout career. Maternity data and career break time span (Ttotal) were collected from publicly available informations. Performances modelled according known age-performance relationship added...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect congenital and acquired visual impairments on international performance Para swimmers track field athletes. We collected results from visually impaired athletes competing in swimming or athletic events at all IPC-labelled competitions between 2009 2019. dataset contained 20,689 results. Impairment origin International Paralympic Committee (IPC) website. separated impairment into two groups distinguish those with a an impairment. In sport...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) interventions are becoming more common in schools. However, limited input has been sought from end-users, which can help design that engaging and context appropriate, therefore increasing their potential for successful implementation. One method of end-users is co-design, involves an active collaboration to solutions pre-specified problems. This paper aimed to: (1) describe the methodology results co-design process Making a HIIT develop workouts...
Using the data from Making a HIIT, this paper aimed to: 1) investigate different heart rate (HR) quantification methods reported in school-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) studies; and 2) assess criterion validity of session rating perceived exertion (RPE). During an 8-week HIIT intervention, 213 students (13.1 (0.6) years; 46% female) completed 10-minute workouts during physical education lessons. In total, 1057 HR RPE measurements were collected across 68 workouts. For aim 1,...
To examine the relationships between occurrence and severity of injuries using three workload ratios (ACWR, EWMA, REDI) in elite female soccer players international male pentathletes.Female U16 to U18 national French teams (n = 24) athletes 12, 4 women 8 men) modern pentathlon team were monitored throughout an entire season. The Acute Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR), Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA), Robust Exponential Decreasing Index (REDI) calculated for internal load by ROE...
Objective To determine the risk of death due to prominent mental disorders, substance abuse, and self-harm among US Olympians compared with general population. Methods All female (n=2301) male (n=5823) who participated in summer or winter Games between 1912 2012 were followed until 2016. The National Death Index certified their vital statuses causes death. We performed a Standard Mortality Ratio (SMR) analysis for all studied applied years-saved (YS) method quantify differences (1) anxiety,...
Breakfast cereal improves overall diet quality yet is under constant scrutiny with assertions that the category has not improved over time. This study aimed to comprehensively analyse of breakfast cereals, nutritional values, and health claims across eight distinct sub-categories at four time points (2013, 2015, 2018, 2020). An audit products from major supermarkets in metropolitan Sydney (Aldi, Coles, IGA, Woolworths) collected ingredient lists, nutrition information, Health Star Rating...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective strategy for improving a variety of health outcomes within the school setting. However, there limited research on implementation school-based HIIT interventions and integration Health Physical Education (HPE) curriculum. The aims Making study are to: 1) describe methodology evaluate feasibility co-designing workouts with students teachers in HPE; 2) determine effect co-designed cardiorespiratory muscular fitness, executive function; 3)...
Abstract Heart transplant recipients are at increased risk for atherosclerosis and cardiac allograft vasculopathy, both initially presenting as intimal thickening. We aimed to determine the presence, extent, anatomical characteristics of thickness coronary bifurcations in children using OCT . measured arteries pediatric during routine catheterization. Intimal thickening was defined (i) a percent change contralateral greater than 50% when comparing bifurcation baseline thickness, (ii) 0.1 mm....
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine and weigh the anthropometric indicators that were associated with pacing performances for each Olympic rowing category. Methods: Between 2010 2015, 1,148 rowers (650 men 498 women) participated in finals World Championships heavyweight event. They categorized into four morphological clusters according their height body mass index (BMI): tall thin (TT), robust (TR), small (ST), (SR). Time speed, collected every 50 m all boats competition....
ABSTRACT Introduction High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective strategy for improving a variety of health and fitness outcomes within the school settings. Incorporating HIIT into existing physical activity opportunities appears practically feasible, yet process evaluation effectiveness this needs to be further evaluated. Therefore, PRO-HIIT intervention will conducted evaluate 12-week school-based on cardiorespiratory fitness, activity, body composition, muscular strength,...

Abstract Background In 2019, a migrant camp on the Greek island of Samos designed for 650 people was home to growing population over 5500. We aimed quantitatively describe living conditions and health needs in camp. Methods A questionnaire with reference international humanitarian standards, following consultative process asylum-seeker population. Domains assessed included demographics, conditions, safety/vulnerability, health. The piloted then conducted June 2019 sample asylum seekers....
Abstract Introduction: Failure of the Fontan circulation is not a well-understood clinical phenomena.For some patients, gradual increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and structural changes artery may be an important causative factor. To further investigate this issue, we employed optical coherence tomography (OCT) to evaluate within arteries patients compared those with normal circulation. Materials Methods: Pulmonary OCT was performed, without complications, 12 11 control...
