Impact of booster breaks and computer prompts on sedentary time, body composition, stress perception, and occupational pain in desk-based workers: A quasi-experimental study – The UP project
Mediator role of physical activity in the relationship between anthropometric indicators and blood pressure in children with normal weight and children with overweight/obesity
Obesity is associated with comorbidities, including hypertension, which have been diagnosed in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to verify the mediator role of physical activity in the relationship between anthropometric indicators and blood pressure (BP) in children with normal weight and children with overweight/obesity. The BeE-school project included 728 Portuguese children (376 boys, 352 girls), aged 6 to 10 years old, who …
Physical Activity as a Mediator in the Relationship Between Body Image Perception and Low Mood in Adolescents
Body image (BI) plays a critical role in mental health, with negative perceptions often linked to feelings of low mood. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to enhance self-acceptance and reduce negative emotions, suggesting it may help mitigate the impact of BI on low mood. This study examines the relationship between BI and low mood among adolescents, and explores the role of PA as a mediator in this relationship. The study had a cross-section…
Study protocol and rationale of “the UP project”: Evaluating the effectiveness of active breaks on health indicators in desk-based workers
Background: Excessive sedentary time has been negatively associated with several health outcomes, and physical activity alone does not seem to fully counteract these consequences. This panorama emphasizes the essential of sedentary time interruption programs. "The Up Project" seeks to assess the effectiveness of two interventions, one incorporating active breaks led by a professional and the other utilizing a computer application (self-led), of b…
Relationship between rs9939609 FTO polymorphism with waist circumference and body fat is moderated by ponderal index at birth in youth
Team sports, running, walking: Activity-specific associations with perceived environmental factors in adolescents
This study aimed to analyze the association between the practice of different types of physical activity (PA) with perceived environmental factors in boys and girls adolescents. Were evaluated 1,130 adolescents from Porto Alegre, Brazil. To evaluate different PA, students answered whether or not they practiced walking, running, team sports, and others general PA. Perceived environmental factors were assessed through Neighborhood Environment Walka…
Integrated role of lifestyle habits in cardiometabolic risk factors according to sex in adolescents
Physical activity for boys and sleep duration for girls are important to maintain healthy metabolic health amongst youth
Montagne et Alimentation: Dynamiques et enjeux actuels dans les montagnes européennes
1. Le positionnement de ce numéro spécial Ce numéro spécial trouve son origine dans la (re)naissance de la question alimentaire dans les contextes urbains en Amérique du Nord et en Europe au cours des deux premières décennies du xxie siècle (Pothukuchi & Kaufman, 2000 ; Steel, 2009 ; Morgan, 2009 ; Perrin & Soulard, 2014 ; Brand, 2015 ; etc.). Oubliée des territoires en tant que problématique d’aménagement, l’alimentation est revenue à l’agenda d…
Mountains and Food: Current Trends and Challenges in Europe’s Mountain Regions
This special issue originates in the (re)emergence of the food question in urban contexts in North America and Europe over the first two decades
Efeitos da educação física sobre indicadores de saúde de jovens e adultos avaliados em quatro momentos anuais
Objetivo: verificar o efeito de uma intervenção em educação física avaliada em diferentes períodos, considerando o recesso escolar, sobre os níveis de aptidão física cardiorrespiratória, abdominais em 1 minuto, flexibilidade e pressão arterial sistólica em jovens e adultos de ambos sexos na educação de jovens e adultos (EJA). Métodos: Estudo pré-experimental quantitativo realizado com 27 estudantes, 9 do sexo feminino, idade média 29,38 (dp: ±15,…
Effects and Responsiveness of a Multicomponent Intervention on Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Leptin in Overweight/Obese Adolescents
Physical exercise reduces the biochemical markers of obesity, but the effects of multicomponent interventions on these markers should be explored. The present study aimed to elucidate how overweight/obese adolescents respond to a multicomponent program approach on body composition, physical fitness, and inflammatory markers, using a quasi-experimental study with 33 overweight/obesity adolescents (control group (CG) = 16; intervention group (IG) =…
BMI Fails to Reflect the Developmental Changes in Body Fatness between Boys and Girls during Adolescence
For the same body fat (%), there are no differences in BMI in children <10 years
A Multicomponent Intervention Program With Overweight and Obese Adolescents Improves Body Composition and Cardiorespiratory Fitness, but Not Insulin Biomarkers
Objective: To verify the effect of a multicomponent intervention with overweight/obese adolescents on physical fitness, body composition, and insulin biomarkers. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with 37 adolescents, aged 10 to 17 years, of both sexes, overweight and obese, allocated in two groups (Intervention—IG Group, n = 17; Control—GC Group, n = 20). The IGs were submitted to a multicomponent intervention for 6 months (three weekly session…
Bringing sustainable urban planning down to earth through food: The experience of the food transects of Grenoble and Caen
Our contribution aims at pointing out how the food issue challenges metropolitan areas while at the same time identifying potential for sustainable urban planning. To that end, we investigate to what extent taking into account agricultural and food-related issues enables to rethink urban planning which is usually qualified as sustainable. Our analysis will be based upon the two French urban regions of Grenoble and Caen where participatory researc…
Mediation role of residential density on the association between perceived environmental factors and active commuting to school in Brazilian adolescents
The objective of this study was to verify whether residential density and connectivity between streets are mediators on the association between perceived environmental factors and active commuting to school (ACS) in Brazilian adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study with a random sample of 1,130 adolescents (52.7% girls) aged between 14 to 20 years, from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Adolescents' self-reported their usual mod…
Neighborhood environmental factors associated with leisure walking in adolescents
OBJECTIVE: To verify the associations of leisure walking with perceived and objective measures of neighborhood environmental factors stratified by gender and socioeconomic status (SES) in Brazilian adolescents. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with a random sample of 1,130 high school students (47.3% girls; aged 14 to 20 years old) from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Leisure walking and SES were self-reported by the adolescents. Perceived environmental fact…
Relationship between insulin resistance and adipocytokines: The mediator role of adiposity in children
Background: Leptin and adiponectin interact with each other in the modulation of obesity and insulin resistance (IR) and it is also important to consider the role of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in these relationships. Aim : To analyse the relationship between IR with adipocytokines in children, and to test the mediation effect of %BF (percentage of body fat) in the association of IR with leptin, adiponectin, and L/A ratio. Subjects and…
Adherence to Southern European Atlantic Diet and physical fitness on the atherogenic index of plasma in adolescents
We sought (i) to evaluate the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscular fitness (MF) and Southern European Atlantic Diet (SEADiet) with atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and (ii) to investigate de combined association of MF, CRF and SEADiet on AIP in adolescents. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted on 493 adolescents (285 girls and 208 boys) aged 15-18 years, from the Portuguese Azorean Archipelago. CRF was measured…
Construire des politiques alimentaires urbaines
Porté par les industries agroalimentaires, le système alimentaire dominant actuellement n'est pas durable. Les études et les expertises se multiplient pour en montrer les limites en termes d'usage des ressources, de distanciation, de santé, d'équité, d'emploi etc... Face à ces constats, des acteurs publics ou privés se mobilisent et l'on voit émerger des initiatives où les " gouvernements urbains " apparaissent comme de plus en plus actifs et pui…
