Academic performance of undergraduate health science students who participate in extracurricular academic activities: A cross-sectional study
To investigate the association between participation in extracurricular academic activities and academic performance in biochemistry and human physiology in undergraduate health sciences students. A total of 214 university students (73.4 % women) from undergraduate health science courses participated in this study. Participants answered a questionnaire regarding biochemistry and human physiology. Participants were divided into two groups: those w…
Regular physical activity and its components as predictors of depressive symptoms in young Brazilians after mandatory military service: A prospective cohort study
Promoting structured physical activity, especially sports, may be an effective strategy to reduce depressive symptoms among young adults after mandatory military service. However, further research is required to explore the underlying mechanisms and develop optimized interventions for this population
A Single Session of Beach Tennis with Recreational Athletes Improves Anxiety Symptoms in Women but Not in Men: A Randomized Trial
Beach tennis demonstrated an anxiolytic effect in women, with significant reductions in anxiety symptoms following both singles and doubles sessions. However, no such effects were observed in men. These findings suggest that beach tennis could be a viable intervention for managing anxiety symptoms in women. The study was registered in the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (registration code: U1111-1293-7949)
Sports and leisure coverage in Brazil: An analysis of the last 20 years
The recent Brazilian presidential elections held in 2022, won by Luís Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula), raised various issues on social media concerning public policy, such as public financial support for sports and leisure coverage (i.e., financial support). In addition, the Brazilian presidential elections were marked by intense polarization. As Brazil has several political ideologies (left-, center-, and right-wing), we investigated whether public …
Leisure-time physical activity as a key protective factor against cognitive decline in older adults: An Isotemporal Substitution Analysis
This study aimed to test hypothesized effects of replacing sedentary behavior with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, sleep, and different domains of physical activity by equivalent amounts on suggestive cognitive decline in an older adult population. This was a cross-sectional study including 473 older adults aged ≥ 60 years. Cognitive decline was assessed using the Mini-Mental Health Examination. Physical activity, its different domains an…
Physical activity combined with sedentary behaviour in the risk of mortality in older adults
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB), in isolation and combination, on all-cause mortality in older adults. METHODS Prospective, population-based cohort study. The data were collected from first wave in 2015 and the follow-up continued until 2020. The sample consisted of 332 older adult people aged ≥ 60 years-old, out of which 59 died. The level of PA and SB was assessed by the International Phys…
Effects of Reallocating Time Spent Engaging in Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity on Mortality in Older Adults: Elsia Study
A reduction in the risk of mortality in older adults was observed when time spent in SB was replaced with the same amount of time in MVPA for all times tested
