  • Assessment of non-communicable disease risk factors, functional performance, and health-related quality of life in adults

    Open AccessFhatuwani W Ramalivhana, Tamrin Veldsman et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    NCD risk factors, functional performance, and HRQoL significantly differ in rural communities compared to low-resourced urban communities in South Africa. Urban areas' most prevalent risk factors were elevated blood pressure, physical inactivity, and increased waist circumference. Participants from rural areas demonstrated significantly better functional performance, such as fitness and balance. HRQoL was better in rural settings than in urban se…

  • The association between anthropometric measures and physical performance in black adults of the North West Province, South Africa

    Open AccessPhumudzo Mamphwe, Herculina S Kruger et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2020

    OBJECTIVE: This study investigated associations between anthropometric measures and physical performance in black South African adults. It was hypothesized that noninvasive, simple anthropometric measurements, such as calf circumference (CC) and body mass index (BMI), may be useful predictors of physical performance and strength. METHODS: Black human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative men and women (aged 32-93 years) participating in the Prosp…

  • Intellectual disability, exercise and aging

    Open AccessGuillermo R Oviedo, Casimiro Javierre et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The trial is registered at the ISRCTN registry. Registration number: ISRCTN43594228 . Registered 11 February 2019 - Retrospectively registered

  • Measurement of physical activity in urban and rural South African adults

    Open AccessAdewale L Oyeyemi, Sarah Mo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Notable disparities in physical activity estimates between methods suggest that utilization of IPAQ-SF and BPAQ for surveillance and epidemiology studies in Africa should depend on research questions and population to be studied. Future studies with objective measures are needed to confirm the relative validity between the two instruments

  • Objectively determined habitual physical activity in South African adolescents

    Open AccessSandra Ntombizanele Wushe, Sarah Mo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Physical activity varies by both gender and race in adolescents from the North West Province of South Africa. Objectively determined data from our study indicates that girls habitually spend more time in MVPA per day than boys, and that white adolescents habitually engage in more MVPA than black adolescents. Seeing as the average MVPA per day for the entire study sample falls below the recommended daily average of 60 minutes/day, adolescents shou…

  • The relationship between body composition and physical fitness in 14 year old adolescents residing within the Tlokwe local municipality, South Africa

    Open AccessMakama Andries Monyeki, Rik Neetens et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Both underweight and overweight among boys and girls in Tlokwe Local Municipality exist, and their effects on physical fitness performances were also noticed. As such, strategic physical activity, interventions or follow-up studies recognizing this relationship particularly in the overweight adolescents are needed. In addition, authorities in health and education departments dealing with adolescents should make use of this evidence base informati…
