Guidance on physical activity from cancer survivorship to pregnancy
Background: Improvements in cancer survival have resulted in a growing number of women of reproductive age who plan pregnancy or become pregnant after cancer. Physical activity is widely recommended during pregnancy and across the cancer survivorship continuum; however, there is currently no existing guidance adequately addressing women who fall at the intersection of these contexts. This scoping review was aimed at mapping existing guidance on p…
Understanding the bullying phenomenon through the eyes of the youth football coaches in the Portuguese region of Tâmega e Sousa
Introduction Bullying is a serious social problem affecting, primarily, children and adolescents in educational and sports environments. Analyzing this phenomenon in contexts where children meet and interact, like football schools/clubs, is critical. The study aims to investigate how youth football coaches perceive bullying and their role in addressing it, as well as to explore bullying as a social phenomenon through the lens of coaches' knowledg…
Associations between Coronavirus and Immune Response, Cardiorespiratory Fitness Rehabilitation and Physical Activity
COVID-19 has serious effects on cardiorespiratory capacity. In this sense, physical activity has been identified as beneficial in the treatment of cardiorespiratory diseases due to its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive benefits. To date, no study has been found on cardiorespiratory capacity and rehabilitation in patients cured after COVID-19. Thus, this brief report aims to relate the benefits of physical activity to cardiorespiratory funct…
Obesity Status and Physical Fitness Levels in Male and Female Portuguese Adolescents
Obesity and decreasing fitness levels among the youth are growing concerns in Portugal, similar to other developed countries, with implications for health and psychomotor development. Understanding the influence of health determinants such as sex and age are crucial for developing effective public health strategies. This study aimed to analyze the association between sex and chronological age with obesity status and physical fitness in Portuguese…
The Influence of Abdominal Adiposity and Physical Fitness on Obesity Status of Portuguese Adolescents
The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between abdominal adiposity and physical fitness in the obesity status of Portuguese adolescents. BMI, abdominal adiposity, and physical fitness tests from the FITescola ® were evaluated in a total of 654 Portuguese adolescents, aged 10-19 years old-male: n = 334 (51%), female: n = 320 (49%). For the final model, BMI was positively related with age ( β = 0.25), abdominal adiposity ( β = 0.313),…
Association between sedentary behavior time and waist‐to‐height ratio in preschool children
OBJECTIVES: To explore the association between sedentary behavior time (SB), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) in preschool children. METHODS: This study included 646 preschool children (4- to 6-years old). WHtR was calculated as the ratio of waist/height with a cutoff of 0.5 used to define risk of abdominal obesity. Sedentary behavior was measured during 7 consecutive days by accelerometer. Logistic regression was used to determine the associatio…
Influence of different behavioural factors and obesity status on systolic blood pressure among pre-school children
The data showed that high ST exposure time and low SLT are associated with enhanced blood pressure in children at pre-school
Influence of body fat and level of physical activity on rate‐pressure product at rest in preschool children
OBJECTIVE: The rate-pressure product (RPP) has strong correlation with the maximal oxygen consumption and is an indicator of myocardium stress being considered as the best indirect method to measure myocardial oxygen consumption. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have addressed in preschool children. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of percentage of body fat (%BF) and physical activity (PA) patterns on RPP at Res…
