Association between cardiorespiratory fitness levels and cardiometabolic risk factors among metropolitan police officers
Police officers are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease due to shift work, high occupational stress, and prolonged sedentary patrol duties, which can negatively affect cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). This risk is particularly important in Gauteng Province, South Africa, where CVD prevalence is high, and metropolitan police face unique urban and occupational challenges. Despite the physically demanding perception of law enforcement, CRF l…

Altered cervical posture kinematics imposed by heavy school backpack loading
Backpack carriage alters cervical posture, resulting in smaller CVA and compromised pulmonary function. There is no consensus of the precise backpack mass that initiates postural changes. Girls' posture begin changes when carrying lighter backpacks as compared to boys of the same age strata
Can South African biokineticists function as recreational therapists
In South Africa, the profession of Recreational Therapy is recognized by neither the Health Professions Council South Africa (HPCSA) nor the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA). However, the South African profession of biokinetics is an accredited HPCSA member, which shares a proximity of Recreational Therapy. The American National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) serves as the gold standard for the …
Altered cervical posture kinematics imposed by heavy school backpack loading
Background: Habitual school backpack carriage causes neuro-musculoskeletal vertebral, shoulder and hand pain; deviated posture compromised cardiopulmonary function and proprioception. Objective: Present a novel literature summary of the influence of backpack carriage associated with deviated cervical posture and compromised pulmonary function. Method: An electronic literature appraisal adopting the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews…
Physical Fitness, Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, or Diet—What Are the Correlates of Obesity in Polish School Children
There is substantial evidence of rising prevalence of overweight and obesity and its co-morbidities among children in western-high income developed countries. In the European Union, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing fastest among Polish children. Yet, there is paucity of evidence on the relationship of behavioral factors with body weight status of children in Poland. This study examined the association of obesity with physica…
Dimensions of achievement goal orientation and coping in South African wheelchair rugby players with quadriplegia
This study investigated the relationship between dispositional achievement goal orientation (task and ego) and coping ability in wheelchair rugby players with quadriplegia. The sample consisted of 16 (15 males and 1 female) players between the ages of 25 and 44 (M=33.7 years; SD=8.7) who were selected for South Africa's national training squad in preparation for the 2011 International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF) Asia-Oceania Championship. …
