Outdoor play
In September 2025, a globally informed 2025 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play will be launched to renew momentum for advancing outdoor play worldwide for planetary health. This study was conducted to support its development, by providing a comprehensive overview of the current landscape, challenges, and opportunities for outdoor play specifically within the Asia region, in parallel with five other regional reviews for global representatio…
The effects of the first wave of Covid-19 restrictions on physical activity
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic led to restrictions that prevented physical activity in public places. This study sought to conduct a comprehensive longitudinal analysis of how lockdown policies in an Arabian Gulf country influenced the patterns of physical activity during first wave. Methods In a longitudinal study design, members of the ongoing “Step into health” community-based health promotion program who provided valid pedometer data from…
Adherence and retention to the self-managed community-based Step Into Health program in Qatar (2012–2019)
Purpose Investigate adherence and retention to the “Step Into Health (SIH)” initiative ( www.stepintohealth.qa [website access only available from within the State of Qatar]), a Qatari self-managed community-based health program, from 2012 to 2019. Methods Participants (16,711; 16–80 years; 37% females, 34% Qatari) used a pedometer or smartphone application (app) to measure step count. Absolute adherence (ADH) and retention (RET) were calculated,…
Reference Walking Speeds for Healthy Young Adults in Qatar
Walking speed (WS) is considered an important indicator for overall health. Despite this, there is a paucity of data relating to WS values in the Arab region. The present study aims to establish preferred (PWS) and maximal walking speeds (MWS) in young adults in Qatar and examine how gender, body mass index, and physical activity (PA) components influence WS. One hundred ninety-six healthy participants (age: 22 ± 2 years; 60% females) performed a…
Body Fat Is a Predictor of Physical Fitness in Obese Adolescent Handball Athletes
We examined the relationships between body fat (BF) and field measures of physical fitness in adolescent handball players. Twenty nine players (age: 16.6 ± 1.72 years; body mass: 79.8 ± 17.0 kg; height: 1.70 ± 0.12 m; body fat: 27.7 ± 8.67%) from Qatar handball first league performed a series of anthropometric and fitness tests related to their performance in sprinting (i.e., 15 m and 30 m sprint), jumping (i.e., countermovement and squat jumps),…
Preferred Gait Characteristics in Young Adults in Qatar
Preferred walking speed (PWS) is considered a robust measure for assessing mobility and overall health. Healthy reference data are unavailable for Qatar. The aim of this study was to investigate PWS and underlying gait parameters around PWS among healthy young adults living in Qatar. PWS was assessed for 18 Qataris (9 females) and 16 non-Qatari Arabs residing in Qatar (9 females). Within- and between-gender group comparisons were carried out usin…
