Salutogenesis for health promotion
A binary view of health, categorizing individuals as either healthy or diseased, has directed much of physical activity research toward evidencing its biomedical benefits. Physical activity is positioned primarily as a means of reducing risk or preventing illness with an appropriate lifestyle modification (e.g. meeting guidelines), reinforcing a pathogenic perspective. A salutogenic perspective, grounded in the ‘dis-ease–ease’ continuum, emphasiz…
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…
A Phenomenological Exploration of the Intersectionality of Body Image and Identity of Female Rugby Players
Contemporary society emphasizes masculine norms in sports, contradicting ideals of femininity and hindering women’s participation in contact sports such as rugby. In addition to underrepresentation of female athletes, social risks associated with appearing masculine create conflicts for female athletes who find themselves navigating between the world of sports and the broader context of society where they must confront the ongoing tension in body…
Resting heart rate is associated with the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Korean adult
Elevated RHR was found to be significantly associated with a higher prevalence of CKD in both men and women, independent of demographic, lifestyle, and medical factors. These findings suggest that RHR could serve as a valuable predictor for undiagnosed CKD
Global Matrix 4.0 Physical Activity Report Card Grades for Children and Adolescents
Background : The Global Matrix 4.0 on physical activity (PA) for children and adolescents was developed to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the global variation in children’s and adolescents’ (5–17 y) PA, related measures, and key sources of influence. The objectives of this article were (1) to summarize the findings from the Global Matrix 4.0 Report Cards, (2) to compare indicators across countries, and (3) to explore trends related to t…
Association of Absolute and Relative Handgrip Strength with Prevalent Metabolic Syndrome in Adults
Maintaining or improving muscular strength may be a key preventive strategy for metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, whether the association of handgrip strength (HGS), as a well-established marker of whole-body muscular strength, with the prevalent metabolic syndrome (MetS) varies with age stratification remains unclear. Additionally, whether absolute of relative HGS is superior to another in predicting MetS is less clear. We examined the associa…
Leisure Constraints and Negotiation among Canadian and South Korean Mountain Hikers
This study examined mountain hikers’ negotiation of leisure constraints and the role that motivations played in this process. This investigation included a comparison between Canadian and South Korean hikers. Data were collected from a sample of 399 mountain hikers visiting the Canadian Rocky Mountains and mountains in South Korea. Results revealed that hiking constraints had a significant negative effect on constraints negotiation for both Canad…
The Relationship between Physical Activity Levels and Mental Health in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury in South Korea
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels and mental health in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Three hospitals in the Seoul metropolitan area were invited to recruit patients with SCI ( n = 103). PA levels were measured by the Leisure Score Index of the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ). The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxi…
A new anthropometric index to predict percent body fat in young adults
Objective: To propose a new anthropometric index that can be employed to better predict percent body fat (PBF) among young adults and to compare with current anthropometric indices. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: All measurements were taken in a controlled laboratory setting in Seoul (South Korea), between 1 December 2015 and 30 June 2016. Participants: Eighty-seven young adults (18–35 years) who underwent dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA…
Validation of Submaximal Step Tests and the 6-Min Walk Test for Predicting Maximal Oxygen Consumption in Young and Healthy Participants
Background : This study aimed to test the validity of three different submaximal tests (i.e., 3-min step test with 20.3-cm step box height (3MST 20 ), 3-min step test with 30-cm step box height (3MST 30 ), and 6-min walk test (6MWT)) in estimating maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) in young and healthy individuals. Methods : The 3MST 20 , 3MST 30 , 6MWT, as well as the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) were performed in 73 participants (37 …
Association between Resting Heart Rate and Colorectal Cancer
Previous studies evaluating associations between resting heart rate (RHR) and cancer-related mortality/prognosis have yielded conflicting results. We investigated whether elevations in RHR are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). We conducted a case-controlled study involving 1241 CRC patients and 5909 cancer-free controls from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. After propensity score (PS) matching, 1207 CRC patients…
Exercise participation, barriers, and preferences in Korean prostate cancer survivors
Objective: To identify patterns of physical activity (PA) participation, exercise preference, and barriers of stage 2-3 prostate cancer survivors across cancer trajectories based on selected demographic and medical variables. Design: The current study is a descriptive cross-sectional study which included data from a total of 111 prostate cancer survivors, at Shinchon Severance Hospital, Seoul, Korea. The survey includes PA levels before and after…
Effects of alternate day calorie restriction and exercise on cardio-metabolic risk factors in overweight and obese adults
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03652532 , Registered August 28, 2018, 'retrospectively registered
Association between cardiorespiratory fitness and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Korean adults
In conclusion, the current study demonstrated the low CRF and obesity was a predictor for metabolic syndrome in Korean adults
