Published: July 14, 2022

24 h movement behaviors, specifically physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, and sleep, play a crucial role in the prevention intervention of childhood obesity. This study aimed to examine association behaviors with weight status body composition among Chinese primary school children. Using random stratified sampling, 978 eligible participants (9.1 ± 1.4 years, 53.2% boys) were recruited from 1 May 15 July 2021. Demographics included children's age, gender, grade, parents' education level, household income. Movement measured by validated self-reported scales. Weight (percent fat, PBF; fat-free mass, FFM; skeletal muscle SMM) objectively. Results indicated that who younger, boys, at lower grade showed higher guidelines adherence. PA was inversely associated PBF, while screen time (ST) positively overweight/obesity risk FFM. Sleep no any health indicators. Meeting behavioral better yet not FFM SMM. Interventions improve Children's PBF should involve enhancing their overall considering demographic differences. More research on examining adherence indicators is needed.

This study aimed to examine association (five facets) with performance among athletes identify mediating role (two attributes) relationship between performance. With prospective design, 243 eligible participants completed two-wave surveys from September December 2021. Measures included demographics, (concern over mistake, CM; doubts about action, DA; personal standard, PS; organization; parental expectation, PE), (motive for success, MS; motive avoiding failure, MF), extra-training (minutes/week), (GPA). Results showed that CM, DA, PS, MS were associated athletes, while associations DA PS mediated by MS. In addition, organization, participants' GPA, was salient mediator contributions GPA.

A Lifestyle App and Multiple Health Behavior Change in Users: Effects of App Use and Interrelations of Behaviors

Published: Nov. 13, 2023

(1) Background: Prevention of acute cardiovascular events in patients with diseases (CVDs) requires promoting health-protective behaviors (e.g., physical activity) and preventing health-compromising (sitting). Digital health interventions provide much potential. Based on multiple behavioral change theory, an intervention (reCardial app) was evaluated, the following hypotheses were tested: H1: Health (physical activity, sitting) disease self-management (self-care maintenance, self-care confidence) are closely interrelated. H2: Change indicators over time is more pronounced reCardial app-users. H3: In group, changes systolic diastolic blood pressure indicate a positive trajectory. (2) Methods: A study design randomized controlled trial 12 weeks conducted. 40 CVD-patients equally to Intervention Group (35% women; Mage=60.6years) Control (45% Mage=61.5years). (3) Results: Findings support H1 significant correlations between (r=0.45-0.63**), (r=-0.32-0.54**), H2 Eta²=0.21 (not statistically significant) H3 partially d=0.101 for but not regarding pressure.

Study protocol for ‘the effects of multimodal training of cognitive and/or physical functions on cognition and physical fitness of older adults: a cluster randomized controlled trial’

BMC Geriatrics, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 22(1)

Published: May 6, 2022

Abstract Background The elderly population worldwide is increasing exponentially which will be associated with more people suffering from cognition and fitness declines. well-established benefits of exercise training for the elderly’s cognitive physical functioning have been observed. However, amalgamated effect combining exercises on older adults’ functions, fitness, or psycho-related health remains unclear. Thus, this study protocol was planned to conduct different combinations and/or interventions community-dwelling adults expected see multifaceted effects varied combination their health. Methods This a cluster randomized controlled trial (CRCT). A total 285 (age ≥ 60) twenty centres as clusters randomly selected assigned intervention groups (IGs, n = 16) control (CGs, 4). Each IG one four three modes that include (A), (B), combined (CCPT, i.e. C), namely Mixed ABC, + B, C A, B C. last 4 months in conducted 16 sessions, 2 sessions per week, 60 min session. Four repeated assessments (pre-test, two post-training tests after months, follow-up test) conducted. CG only receive but no intervention. outcome measures (tests execution, memory, psych-social status), dynamic balance tests. Discussion provide substantial evidence integrated format higher impact than single modes, all these mixed modalities greater positive outcomes condition. If effectiveness proven, can further explored extended nation so many would benefited. Trial registration has registered ClinicalTrials.gov U.S. NIH (ID: NCT04727450 , date: January 27, 2021).
