Abstract Background Population-levels of physical activity have remained stagnant for years. Previous approaches to modify behaviour broadly neglected the importance whole-systems approaches. Our research aimed (i) understand, (ii) map, (iii) identify leverage points, and (iv) develop solutions surrounding participation in across an English rural county.

This is a state-of-the-art review of historical developments, current approaches and recommended future directions in physical activity (PA) research, practice policy. Since the early epidemiological studies 1950s, PA research has developed from within biomedical paradigm. There now strong evidence base linking with positive health outcomes. currently understood as multi-sector issue, requiring solution (e.g. transport, urban design, sport), resulting multiple individual societal benefits addresses Sustainable Development Goals), however, there disconnect between interventions, policy practice. may be due to limited cross-sector collaboration between, within, public private sectors.

Changes in identity and habit formation during 3 months of sport and physical activity participation among parents with young children

Abstract Understanding factors that might contribute to sustained moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) after the initial start of participation is important. The purpose this study was examine changes in PA habit and identity, two constructs purported drive behavioral maintenance, among parents young (< 13 years age) children participating a intervention across 3 months. Parents (team sport n = 58; individual 60; control 66) completed measures habit, self‐reported MVPA at baseline, post‐randomization 6 weeks Identity showed an increase time, these interacted with group condition assignment. increased for participants team significantly different from stable profile those assigned condition.

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Background : Excessive car use hampers progress toward tackling global health challenges, including climate and sustainability issues, is linked to lower physical activity. Local communities have been developing solutions through bike buses. This paper, one of the first on buses, explores how a bus perceived by other road place users. Methods An interdisciplinary survey instrument with dialogic-style questions was distributed flyers users 1 route when passing. Responses were thematically analyzed using analytic framing identify themes subthemes. paper focuses 2 domains related activity’s link challenges change issues excess traffic: actions community-level activism. Results Overall, 172 responses received from 542 (31.8%). The domain identified as solution that creates transport mode shift, reduces emissions, improves air quality.

This article explores the potential of Bruno Latour's Actor Network Theory (ANT) for rethinking relationship between sporting mega-events and physical activity (PA). Engaging with ANT as theory methodology, we explore how PA is a result human–nonhuman interactions occurring during around events. More specifically, based upon collaborative ethnography 2023 FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) Women's World Cup (FWWC23), focus on humans nonhumans (football, spaces, seats) actants (intermediaries mediators) that enabled and/or constrained PA.

Öğrenme Güçlüğü ve Fiziksel Aktivite Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi: Geleneksel Derleme

Spor ve Rekreasyon Araştırmaları Dergisi, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 6(2), P. 99 - 115

Published: Dec. 30, 2024

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğrenme güçlüğü yaşayan bireylerde fiziksel aktivitenin fiziksel, sosyal ve bilişsel etkilerini inceleyerek kapsamlı bir değerlendirme sunmaktır. Geleneksel derleme türünde hazırlanan bu çalışmada, "fiziksel aktivite" "öğrenme güçlüğü" anahtar kelimeleri Web of Science Google Scholar veri tabanlarında taranmış konuyla ilgili bütünlük oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Öğrenme güçlüğü, bireylerin akademik, işlevlerini etkileyen nörogelişimsel bozukluk olarak tanımlanır. Disleksi, diskalkuli disgrafi gibi alt türleri, okuma, yazma matematik becerilerinde zorluklar yaşamasına neden olurken, düşük motor beceriler izolasyon zorlukları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Fiziksel olan becerileri geliştirdiği, uyumu desteklediği işlevleri güçlendirdiği görülmüştür. Grup temelli aktiviteler geliştirirken, nöroplastisiteyi destekleyen aktivite, süreçlerini desteklemektedir. Sonuç olarak, aktiviteyi içeren literatür, bireyler için çok yönlü müdahale aracı ele alınması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte yalnızca sağlıklarını uygunluklarını artırmakla kalmadığı, aynı zamanda katılım destekleyerek yaşam kalitesini genel anlamda iyileştirmekte olduğu bağlamda, çeken yaşamlarını olumlu yönde değiştirmek amacıyla aktivite programlarının yaygınlaştırılması, bireysel ihtiyaçlara uygun şekilde tasarlanması tüm paydaşlar tarafından desteklenmesi gerektiği söylenebilir. tür yaklaşımların, topluma daha etkin katılmalarını sağlıklı sürmelerini sağlamada önemli adım olacağı
