Physical inactivity is a global health concern, contributing to various diseases and health inequities. While research has shown physical activity’s impact on health and well-being, participation rates remain low, emphasizing the need to consider cultural, social, emotional, and environmental factors. This narrative review explores how Hofstede’s Individualism-Collectivism dimension and Schwartz’s theory of values shape physical activity behavior…
Barriers to Physical Activity Participation Among University Staff
Regular physical activity (PA) is crucial for health, yet many individuals face barriers to engage in an active lifestyle. This study aimed to identify and analyze the barriers preventing university staff from participating in PA. A cross-sectional quantitative approach was utilized, distributing surveys to a diverse sample of 238 university staff aged 19 to 77 years, with an average age of 40. The survey was designed to identify the barriers tha…
Sense of Coherence and Self-Rated Aggression of Adolescents during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic, with a Focus on the Effects of Animal Assisted Activities
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme deviations from everyday life. The aim of this study was to investigate how these deviations affected adolescents' sense of coherence and their level of aggression, and whether this was influenced by their relationship with animals, especially horses. In two random samples of students from vocational schools in Hungary, taken in June 2018 and June 2020 (n1 = 525, n2 = 412), separate groups were drawn from …
Insights Gained in the Aftermath of the Covid-19 Pandemic
The original aim of this study was a follow-up assessment of a recreational program running for six months (September 2019-February 2020) within controlled conditions. Following the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey acquired a new goal: how do the subjects of the follow-up sampling experience this severe stress situation, and in this experience, what role does physical activity and a salutogenetic sense of coherence play. Austrian wome…
How Equine-Assisted Activities Affect the Prosocial Behavior of Adolescents
Multiple studies have investigated the positive effects of human–animal interactions and showed that animal-assisted activities can be successfully used to better human physical and mental health. Equine-assisted activities have also raised considerable attention within the field. Our research focuses on healthy students (aged 14–18) without deviations or special educational needs. We analyze the occurrence of behavior problems and prosocial beha…
