<p>This cross-sectional study intended to determine the prevalence of body image dissatisfaction and associated factors in Portuguese adolescents (N=529, 10-18 years, 53.7% male 46.3% female). The (estimated through Collins's silhouettes) was 58%. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that variables were: obesity, watch TV over 2 hours/day practice sport activities 4 or more days/week. In male, obesity were related among female only had statistical significance. It is...
Assessment of trends in physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) is important for evaluating the effectiveness national policies setting goals to improve population PA. This study describes changes measured PA ST through motion sensors Portuguese from 2008 2018.PA were with accelerometry individuals (≥10 yr) participating ( n = 4 532) 2018 6 369) Surveillance Systems. Changes analyzed using generalized linear logistic models adjusted accelerometer wear time. A weight factor was applied...
This investigation aimed to describe the current physical fitness (PF) status of Portuguese youth, compare secular trends from 2008 and 2018, establish updated age- sex-specific percentile values for distinct PF tests. In 22 048 8960 children adolescents (10-18 years) were included in two national cross-sectional investigations. was evaluated using FITESCOLA® battery tests handgrip strength test. Independent sample t-tests chi-squared used model results. Weight smoothed calculated Cole's...
It was our objective to analyze the effects of a single session whole body HIIT on body-image and -scheme parameters healthy adult men. Twenty-one active, adults performed high-intensity intermittent training based full exercise. The involved 20 sets 30 second all-out exercise seconds passive recovery between sets. All subjects underwent blood lactate measurement, rate perceived exertion, feeling scale image assessment perception size measurements. Significant differences (p<0.001) were...
Connectedness to nature (CN) is a significant predictor of pro-environmental behaviours, human health and well-being. However, research on how this connection the natural world might promote more active lifestyle improve body mass composition according gender lacking. This study investigated influence CN physical activity (PA) in adults older people. We recruited sample 219 individuals (77 men 142 women), self-administered questionnaire was used measure obtain demographic data. Body assessed...
A growing body of evidence indicates that living close to nature is associated with better health and well-being. However, the literature still lacks studies analyzing benefits this proximity for sleep obesity, particularly in women. The purpose study was explore how distance natural spaces reflected women's physical activity, sleep, adiposity levels. sample consisted 111 adult women (37.78 ± 14.70). Accessibility green blue assessed using a geographic-information-system-based method....
Introduction: Menopause marks an extensive period of hormonal changes in women. Estrogen depletion, combined with the aging process, increases fat mass, particularly intra-abdominal fat, and generates a decrease muscle bone affecting women's usual levels physical activity (PA) compromising their quality life. Exposure to natural environment confers numerous health benefits, however, much remains unknown about differences nature visits according woman's reproductive stages, often PA are...
