Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 6

Published: Jan. 24, 2024

Objective The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between perceived physical literacy (PPL) and academic performance outcomes among Spanish adolescents aged 12–17 years. Methods This cross-sectional is a secondary examination utilizing data derived from Eating Healthy Daily Life Activities (EHDLA) project. Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument for Adolescents (S-PPLI) used evaluate PPL participants. To determine performance, numerical grades each subject were added together then divided by total number subjects. Results Overall, positive trend in association S-PPLI scores observed. We identified two significant ranges within scores. First, there range 9 33 points on S-PPLI, indicating an inverse with performance. Second, another observed at 34 or higher suggesting Participants low had lowest (mean = 6.4; bias-corrected accelerated (BCa) bootstrapped 95% confidence interval (CI): 6.2–6.6). Conversely, those high highest 6.9; BCa CI: 6.6–7.1). Significant differences found medium ( p -adjusted 0.031) 0.031). Conclusions Increased could be relevant factor achieving greater adolescents. has potential implications education instructors, school leaders, healthcare practitioners.

This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with physical fitness and disparities in population segments among older adults, using data from National Physical Fitness Surveilling Survey of China. A cross-sectional study. total 13524 adults aged 60-79 years were involved Participants completed assessments encompassing body fat percentage, lung capacity, high leg raise place, grip strength, seated forward bending, 30-s sit-to-stand test, single-leg standing eyes closed, choice reaction time. profile analysis model was constructed by feature extraction, label design clustering principal component k-prototypes. Factors analyzed ordered probit regression, within-group differences evaluated through bootstrap method. The categorized into four clusters based on results (Cluster I: n = 2728, Cluster II: 6067, III: 4189, IV: 540). Significant positive associations identified between moderate-to-vigorous transport-related activities (α 0.001, p < 0.05), household chores ( α 0.003, 0.01), work-related activity exercise 0.002, 0.01) levels. Conversely, number illnesses -0.089, sedentary behavior -0.002, 0.05) negatively fitness. Inflection points observed, indicating shifts lower level higher levels as volume diverse increased.

This study aims to explore whether the impact of varying aerobic exercise intensities on knowledge acquisition is influenced by intensity and gender. The results lay groundwork for selecting suitable intervention programs, considering gender, enhance acquisition. Employing a mixed-design approach, sample 569 college students engaged in 8 weeks sessions with moderate low intensity, incorporating basketball badminton. Knowledge effects were assessed using questionnaires targeting distinct levels. Declarative procedural levels across different types evaluated pre post-exercise low-intensity, moderate-intensity, control groups. findings reveal that both low-intensity exercises distinctly positively students’ levels, no discernible gender-related alterations.

Physical literacy is a multidimensional concept considered fundamental for lifelong participation in physical activity. Although theories on the relationship between and human flourishing have been proposed, no comprehensive study of this adolescents has found. This aimed to predict variables (physical activity, health, mental academic performance) that correlate highly with adolescents' literacy. A sample 1004 primary middle school students was recruited six machine learning algorithms (decision tree, random forest, AdaBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM, k-nearest neighbours) were used. Random forest predicted health overall sample, an accuracy 53 percent, 86 per cent, 91.7 respectively; AdaBoost performance 98 cent. Overall sex subgroup predictions generally consistent, "sense self self-control" "self-expression communication others" as most significant variables. Family-type analysis results varied greatly, suggesting one-child families should focus "knowledge understanding," whereas multi-child others."
