Crossing borders, building bridges
This article offers a reflective account of co-supervising a doctoral study that drew on elements of Health Sciences and Education to explore interdisciplinary supervision. Rather than uniting entire disciplines, the collaboration brought together specific epistemological and methodological traditions from both fields, grounded in the lived experience of an interdisciplinary doctoral journey. The focus is not the doctoral thesis per se, but the s…
Child opinions related to a core outcome set for school-based healthy lifestyle behavior interventions
Introduction: Including children's perspectives developing health programs is a priority. This study gathered children's perspectives on outcomes in a Core Outcomes Set (COS), which they believe are important to measure in school-based healthy lifestyle behavioral interventions. Methods: Children aged 8-12 years from six countries across three continents participated in standardized interactive focus groups. An animation video was used to explain…
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…
The development of a policy brief on physical activity and health in Africa for children and adolescents with disabilities
The journal is published for the purpose of advancing scholarship in disability studies and rehabilitation sciences in a uniquely African context. Widely read by scholars, professionals and students, it encourages scholarly exchange between all disciplines and academics from low, middle and high-income countries to work towards the improvement of human development and its practices across the continent
The carry-over effect of an aquatic-based intervention in children with cerebral palsy
Together with conventional modes of therapy, aquatic-based programmes should be integrated and considered as an essential, ongoing mode of treatment for children with CP, in order to ensure long-term gross motor function improvements
The effect of therapeutic horseback riding on heart rate variability of children with disabilities
Therapeutic horseback riding intervention of six sessions demonstrated a change in HRV of children with disabilities. However, the changes obtained were not significant to make conclusive measures as to whether sympathetic or parasympathetic activity is predominantly increased after the six sessions. Further research involving more than six sessions of THR is required to yield more significant changes
