Moderating Effect of Race and Ethnicity Between Technology Use and Social Isolation

Social isolation among older adults has brought about poor outcomes of their health and well-being. Information and Communication technology (ICT) is known to alleviate social isolation of older adults. However, it is unknown how ICT access and use are associated with social isolation by race. This study examined the association of ICT and social isolation from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), estimating moderating effects of race and ethnicity. The sample for this study was community dwelling Medicare beneficiaries aged 65+ (n=5,567). An index for ICT was formed from five domains: social network websites, email and texting, working cellphone, tablet devices and online computer use (range 1-5, mean=3.96, SD=0.927), and social isolation was derived from responses to five areas: living arrangement, attending religious activities, numbers of important people to talk with, attending other activities such as club participation and volunteer work (range=0-2, mean=1.74, SD=0.927). Race and ethnicity included White (69.6%), African-American (20.7%), Hispanic (5.5%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (2.5%). Multiple linear regression was used using a moderating effect of race/ethnicity, including relevant covariates. Findings revealed increased ICT use was associated with lower social isolation (b=0.05, p<0.05), and race/ethnicity was a significant moderator in the association between ICT and social isolation for African-Americans (b=0.08, p<0.05) and Hispanics (b=0.15, p<0.05) compared to White older adults. The findings indicate that racial differences should be considered when applying technology use to reduce older adults’ social isolation. Practitioners can provide racially competent ICT services for older adults interested in tech-based communication.

Second, the college sport club participants of social support was proved to affect the college adjustment. Specifically, social adjustment, personal-emotional adjustment and institutional attachment made a statistically meaningful difference.

Providing an Online Nursing Journal Club and Ensuring the Rigor of the Experience

Participation in nursing journal clubs has been correlated with increased familiarity among nurses with research processes and outcomes, as well as improved ability to critique research studies and apply evidence from the literature to practice. For nurses who are direct care providers, time and accessibility are barriers to participation in journal clubs. Providing a journal club using an online, asynchronous format increased participation. This article describes the inception of a nursing journal club and the steps taken to alter the format to increase participation.

Resting Electrocardiogram and Blood Pressure in Young Endurance and Nonendurance Athletes and Nonathletes.

Much information is available on electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure (BP) changes in senior athletes. However, corresponding data on adolescent athletes are scarce. To study the differences in resting ECG and BP values among adolescent endurance athletes, nonendurance athletes, and nonathletes. Cross-sectional study. A total of 154 youth sports clubs in Finland and 100 secondary schools for comparison data. We recruited young athletes (n = 410) aged 14 to 16 years in 10 popular sport disciplines, including winter and summer as well as team and individual sports, and categorized them as endurance or nonendurance sports. Comparison data for age-matched, non-sports club participants (n = 164) were collected via secondary schools. Resting ECG, including heart rate, PR interval, QRS duration, QRS axis, QRS amplitude, T axis, and QT interval as well as systolic and diastolic BPs. No differences in any ECG variable of interest were found between the endurance and nonendurance athletes. The PR interval was longer in endurance athletes than in nonathletes (P = .05). The QRS amplitude (P = .03) was higher among nonendurance athletes than among nonathletes. Diastolic BP was lower among endurance (P = .002) and nonendurance (P = .02) athletes than among nonathletes. Endurance athletes (odds ratio [OR] = 2.85; 95% CI = 1.81, 4.50) and nonendurance athletes (OR = 2.19; 95% CI = 1.43, 3.35) were more likely to have sinus bradycardia than were nonathletes. Nonendurance athletes were more likely to have elevated systolic BP than were endurance athletes (OR = 1.70; 95% CI = 1.07, 2.72) and nonathletes (OR = 1.73; 95% CI = 1.04, 2.87). Young athletes had similar ECG and BP findings independent of their sports. Physiological adaptations including sinus bradycardia, higher QRS amplitude, and lower diastolic BP, which are commonly seen in adult athletes, were also present in adolescent athletes.

Understanding (disrupted) participation in community sports clubs: Situated wellbeing, social practices and affinities and atmospheres

Participation in sport is viewed as a key means of improving health and wellbeing in many countries, but the processes constituting participation in community sports clubs remain poorly understood. Although studies have considered the wellbeing implications of non-competitive and individual sporting activity, further theoretical and empirical work is required to understand (both sporting and non-sporting) participation in community sports clubs. In this article we consider the contribution of approaches to social practice, situated wellbeing and affinities and atmospheres to advance our understanding. Using the example of community cricket clubs in England and Wales, we consider the potential of such approaches and the implications of disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) crisis. In conclusion, we argue that in a period characterised by political, social and economic turmoil, being able to provide detailed, place specific accounts of the important relations and practices existing in and through community sports clubs is a crucial activity for social scientists.

Service Quality for Sports and Active Aging in Japanese Community Sports Clubs.

(1) Background: This study aims to examine the association between service quality for sports and active aging and the impacts on different age cohorts; (2) Methods: This cross-sectional study used a convenience sample of 545 Japanese community sports club (CSC) members over 60 years old, recruited from across eight CSCs in Japan between 2012–2013. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure the self-reported health status of the elderly, evaluations to CSCs, demographic characteristics, and information on sports programs; (3) Results: The results of multiple logistic regression showed that domains of general evaluation for sports (OR = 1.942 and 95% CI 1.336~2.824), benefits of sports (OR = 1.659 and 95% CI 1.344~2.047), and management in sports (OR = 1.273 and 95% CI 1.011~1.603) were important for club members aged 60–64, the young-old, and the old-old, respectively. With a reduced model for elderly members, stratified analyses showed a significant impact of service quality for sports on active aged people in the benefits and management domains, regardless of sociodemographic information or club participation behavior; (4) Conclusions: The findings suggest that the services encountered in sports are key to promoting health in a community. Service quality in age segmentation should be considered to promote and manage active aging in the future

CLIMATE CLUBS WITH TAX REVENUE RECYCLING, TARIFFS, AND TRANSFERS

The E3ME-FTT model is applied to assess the impacts of alternative climate club structures. We consider two kinds of climate club memberships: the World Climate Club (WCC), where every country in the world joins the club, and the Core Climate Club (CCC), with seven likely club members: EU[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]5, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Australia. First, we find that both the WCC and domestic revenue-neutral recycling matter a lot. The global CO2 emissions in 2050 could be reduced by 50% from BAU under the WCC. With domestic revenue-neutral recycling, there will be large positive impacts on GDP under both the WCC and the CCC. Secondly, the negative effects of trade sanctions on cumulative global GDP and global CO2 emissions make it unwelcome to be used as part of the club design. Lastly, the introduction of international transfers will result in a win–win solution that will not only increase the cumulative global GDP and reduce global CO2 emissions but also enhance the equality among club members and induce more likely participation in the climate club.

Madsen, M, Larsen, MN, Cyril, R, Møller, TK, Madsen, EE, Ørntoft, C, Lind, RR, Ryom, K, Christiansen, SR, Wikman, J, Elbe, AM, and Krustrup, P. Well-being, physical fitness, and health profile of 2,203 Danish girls aged 10-12 in relation to leisure-time sports club activity-with special emphasis on the five most popular sports. J Strength Cond Res 36(8): 2283-2290, 2022-This study investigated the relationship between leisure-time sports club activities and well-being as well as physical health parameters in 10-12-year-old Danish girls. Two thousand two hundred three girls took part in the study, which included questionnaires on participation in leisure-time sports clubs, well-being, Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 children's test, long jump, balance tests, body composition, blood pressure (BP), and resting heart rate (RHR). Data were analyzed according to whether the girls participated in leisure-time sport and according to the 5 most frequently reported sports. Girls enrolled in leisure-time sports had higher physical well-being (49.3 ± 8.6 vs. 45.2 ± 8.3), psychological well-being (50.4 ± 9.0 vs. 49.4 ± 9.8), experienced more peer and social support (50.2 ± 10.0 vs. 48.9 ± 10.7), and perceived a more positive school environment (52.5 ± 8.0 vs. 50.5 ± 9.3), as well as showing higher Yo-Yo (+39%), long jump (+10%), and balance performance (+15%) than girls not involved in sport clubs. The girls active in sports clubs had higher relative muscle mass (+5%), lower fat percentage (-11%), body mass index (-5%), RHR (-3.4 b·min -1 ), and diastolic BP (-1.4 mm Hg) compared with girls not involved in sport ( p < 0.05). Girls who played soccer showed higher aerobic fitness compared with inactive girls (+67%), dancers (+39%), swimmers (+38%), and gymnasts (+16%). Gymnasts had a lower fat percentage than inactive girls (-19%), team handballers (-10%), swimmers (-12%), and soccer players (-4%). Girls participating in club-based leisure-time sports showed higher well-being and better fitness and health profiles than girls not involved in any sports club activities. Girls involved in soccer had better aerobic fitness and gymnasts a lower fat percentage.

Social integration and its relationship with functional limitations in Chilean older adults

Abstract We are experiencing the highest levels of life expectancy and it poses challenges in the maintenance of the functional capacity in old age. This study seeks to determine the relation between social integration and functional limitation in Chilean older adults. Cross-sectional study with baseline of two cohort studies: the SABE cohort (born before 1940) and the Alexandros cohort (born between 1940 and 1948 from Primary Health Care centers), from Santiago. Were considered 1733 elderly. Performance variables were studied in seven Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL): preparing food, managing money, leaving home alone, making purchases, making or receiving calls, doing light housework, organizing and taking medications, and six basic Activities of Daily Living (ADL): bathing, dressing, use of the bathroom, transfer, continence of urine and feeding. Having difficulties or inability to perform at least one activity was classified as having functional limitations. Social integration variables were: participation in community groups, clubs or organizations and in recreational activities. Adjustment variables were: sex, age, educational level, household income, depression, cognitive impairment and multimorbidity. Robust Poisson Regression was performed and prevalence ratios (PR) of functional limitation in ADL and IADL were reported. The level of significance was ≤0.5. Prevalence of functional limitations in ADL was 73.3% and in AIVD was 37.1%. Who participated in recreational activities have a lower prevalence of functional limitation in ADL (PR 0.85; 95%CI 0.80-0.90) and in IADL (PR 0.74; 95% CI0.63-0.86). Participation in community groups, clubs or organizations was associated with a lower prevalence of limitation in ADL (RP 0.78; 95%CI 0.71-0.87), although it was not significantly related to performance in IADL. Greater social integration in adulthood is a protective factor for limitation in ADL and IADL and should be the subject of public policies in Chile. Key messages Social integration seems to be a protective factor for functional limitation in Chilean older adults. Society and public policies should give greater opportunity for the elderly to participate in recreational activities and community groups.

The Effect of Participation Motivations on Interpersonal Relationships and Learning Achievement of Female College Students in Sports Club: Moderating Role of Club Involvement.

The aim of this study is to explore the moderating effect of club involvement on the relationships of female college students’ sport club participation motivations for interpersonal relationships and learning achievement. Using cluster sampling, a structured questionnaire was distributed to 450 female college students located in northern, central, and southern Taiwan with a valid return rate of 96.2%. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis, the study found that the female college students’ participation motivations both affected interpersonal relationships and learning achievement positively. In addition, the moderating effects of club involvement on interpersonal relationships and learning achievement were both significant. Club involvement enhanced the effects of the female college students’ sport club participation motivations for interpersonal relationships and learning achievement. According to the results and discussion, practical application and future research suggestions were provided.

Use of dietary supplements among male fitness club members in Nis, Serbia

Abstract Background Dietary supplements use continues to increase in many countries. They are often used without a full understanding of the potential benefits and risks associated with their use, and without consultation with a health care professional. This study aimed to explore health beliefs and patterns of dietary supplement usage among fitness club participants. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in fitness clubs of the city of Nis, Serbia. Male adults, age 18-45 years, participated. Data from participants were collected through an original structured, self-administered questionnaire describes the prevalence and type of supplements used, the reasons for using and the information source. Results The prevalence of dietary supplement intake among participants was 85.86%. Most participants were between the age of 20 and 40 years, had a college degree (57.1%), non-smokers (80.5%), without chronic disease (86%), perform exercise at least thrice weekly (76.2%) and 63% had at least1 hour. The percentage of participants who had favorable health views on dietary supplements was significantly higher among the supplement users than among the non-users (P &amp;lt; 0.0001). Most participants (76.19%) perform exercise from 3 to 5 times weekly and 82.85% had from 1 to 2 hours exercise duration. The percentage of subjects who think supplements have side effects was significantly higher among the supplement non-users than among the users (p &amp;lt; 0 .05). Proteins (83.33%), amino acids (63.09%) and creatine (52.38%) were the most commonly reported supplements used. The places of buying dietary supplements most mentioned were specialized supplement store (78.57%), online (11.9%) and pharmacy (9.52%). Conclusions Male fitness club member are large consumers of dietary supplements. Public health campaigns could be useful to educate Serbian population regarding using dietary supplements during fitness activities. Key messages Male fitness club members are large consumers of dietary supplements in Serbia. Public health campaigns are needed to educate fitness participants about using dietary supplements.

지역 공공재로서 가상현실 스포츠 체험관의 경제적 가치 평가

This study was conducted to evaluate the economic value of a virtual reality sports experience center as local public goods and to provide basic data to suggest the validity of the distribution and operation of the center as a public institution"s athletic policy. To accomplish the study purposes, the study used a contingent valuation method (CVM) survey with a total of 414 D metropolitan city residents over 20 years old who could have the capability to pay tax. The data were analyzed through SPSS 22.0. A binary logistic regression was modeled with a dichotomous dependent variable, willing to pay (WTP). The independent variables such as gender, age, occupation, income, sports club activation and participation, policy interest, and socio-cultural value were input in the model. The economic value of the virtual reality sports experience center was also estimated by using a model suggested by previous studies for CVM. Accordingly, following main findings are derived from the study. First, among the independent variables, gender, income, sports club activation and participation, and socio-cultural value were found to be the significant factors to WTP. Second, the mean amount of WTP was calculated as 2,397 won per person and the percentage of WTP was 75.1%. The economic value of the virtual reality sports experience center was estimated as 22.24 billion won. Lastly, for non-payment reasons, ‘High recommended amount’ showed the highest frequency, followed by ‘Local government budget usage’, ‘Not joining a sports club’, and ‘No financial leeway’.

Role of Transition from Secondary to Tertiary Educational Institutions on the State of National Ethos, Social Cohesion and Integration among Students in Kenya

This work examined a ‘peculiar phenomenon'' observed among secondary school students in Kenya aged on average (14 -18 years), whose levels of social cohesion and integration rapidly deteriorated after transiting to tertiary institutions. This paper examined the actual state of social cohesion and integration in secondary and tertiary institutions in Kenya. The findings reveal that the transition from secondary to tertiary institutions resulted in significant deterioration of national ethos, social cohesion and integration among students. A sample population of 440 students at four public tertiary institutions in Kenya were interviewed to establish their perception of the state of social cohesion and integration at their current tertiary institutions in comparison to the secondary schools they attended. The responses indicate that social cohesion in secondary schools was found to be excellent compared to tertiary institutions (Colleges and Universities). Among the respondents 391 students (89%) reported having school friends from diverse social backgrounds while studying at secondary school level. The relationships among students in secondary schools was described as; (excellent=34%, 150 students; cordial= 59%, 260 students and hostile=7%, 31 students). The relationship between students and teachers in secondary school was reported to be; (excellent=30%, 132 students cordial=37%, 163 students and hostile=33%, 145 students respectively). The results were replicated across all secondary schools in the country i.e. (national, county, extra-county, private and day-schools) found that there existed a harmonious and cordial relationship among students and teachers. The social cohesion recorded in all the categories of secondary schools was fostered by; (positive engagement between the students and administration, participation in various social and academic clubs including the amani ‘peace clubs', religious associations, drama and music festivals and the use of English and Kiswahili in communication).The respondents reported that transition to tertiary institutions resulted in a rapid and significant deterioration in levels of social cohesion among students and community. The state of social cohesion at the tertiary institutions was described as; (excellent= 12%, 53 students cordial=27%, 119 students and hostile= 61%, 268 students). Deterioration in social cohesion and integration recorded in tertiary institutions was attributed by the respondents to: (negative ethnicity, interference by external actors, social class disparities, religion and segregation occasioned by courses studied). In conclusion, tribal social associations formed by students in tertiary institution were found to contribute to declining levels of social cohesion, integration and ethos among students.

To this end the study selected a total of 1187 students, composed of 602 girls who participated in school sports clubs and 585 girls who did not participate in it, using the random sampling method. The results can be summarized as follows. In the instances of participation, and the period of participation in school sports clubs, the study found statistically significant differences in all subordinate factors of ego-resilience in the subjects. Statistically significant differences were found in all the subordinate factors of ego-resilience, excluding the factor of positive thinking in, the areas of weekly participation, participation in competitions and the type of competitions participated in by the students who took part in the study. The research results imply that the participation of female middle school students in school sports clubs has a positive influence on the formation of their ego- resilience.

Participation in adherence clubs and on-time drug pickup among HIV-infected adults in Zambia: A matched-pair cluster randomized trial.

BackgroundCurrent models of HIV service delivery, with frequent facility visits, have led to facility congestion, patient and healthcare provider dissatisfaction, and suboptimal quality of services and retention in care. The Zambian urban adherence club (AC) is a health service innovation designed to improve on-time drug pickup and retention in HIV care through off-hours facility access and pharmacist-led group drug distribution. Similar models of differentiated service delivery (DSD) have shown promise in South Africa, but observational analyses of these models are prone to bias and confounding. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of ACs in Zambia using a more rigorous study design.Methods and findingsUsing a matched-pair cluster randomized study design (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02776254), 10 clinics were randomized to intervention (5 clinics) or control (5 clinics). At each clinic, between May 19 and October 27, 2016, a systematic random sample was assessed for eligibility (HIV+, age ≥ 14 years, on ART >6 months, not acutely ill, CD4 count not <200 cells/mm3) and willingness to participate in an AC. Clinical and antiretroviral drug pickup data were obtained through the existing electronic medical record. AC meeting attendance data were collected at intervention facilities prospectively through October 28, 2017. The primary outcome was time to first late drug pickup (>7 days late). Intervention effect was estimated using unadjusted Kaplan–Meier survival curves and a Cox proportional hazards model to derive an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR). Medication possession ratio (MPR) and implementation outcomes (adoption, acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and fidelity) were additionally evaluated as secondary outcomes. Baseline characteristics were similar between 571 intervention and 489 control participants with respect to median age (42 versus 41 years), sex (62% versus 66% female), median time since ART initiation (4.8 versus 5.0 years), median CD4 count at study enrollment (506 versus 533 cells/mm3), and baseline retention (53% versus 55% with at least 1 late drug pickup in previous 12 months). The rate of late drug pickup was lower in intervention participants compared to control participants (aHR 0.26, 95% CI 0.15–0.45, p < 0.001). Median MPR was 100% in intervention participants compared to 96% in control participants (p < 0.001). Although 18% (683/3,734) of AC group meeting visits were missed, on-time drug pickup (within 7 days) still occurred in 51% (350/683) of these missed visits through alternate means (use of buddy pickup or early return to the facility). Qualitative evaluation suggests that the intervention was acceptable to both patients and providers. While patients embraced the convenience and patient-centeredness of the model, preference for traditional adherence counseling and need for greater human resources influenced intervention appropriateness and feasibility from the provider perspective. The main limitations of this study were the small number of clusters, lack of viral load data, and relatively short follow-up period.ConclusionsACs were found to be an effective model of service delivery for reducing late ART drug pickup among HIV-infected adults in Zambia. Drug pickup outside of group meetings was relatively common and underscores the need for DSD models to be flexible and patient-centered if they are to be effective.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT02776254.

The Effect To Adl Of Short-term Intervention To The Ankle Mobility Of Health Club Participant

Many elderly persons feel anxiety during daily life due to a decrease in walking speed, a fear going up and down stairs, fall by balance capacity decline. Although ankle joint mobility decreases with aging, the relation to activities of daily living (ADL) hasn't been investigated so much. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between ankle joint mobility and ADL ability of elderly health club participants, and to examine whether the ADL ability is improved to when ankle joint mobility is improved. METHODS: Forty elderly people (age 60 ± 12.9 yrs., height 153.2 ± 6.10 cm, weight 52.1 ± 6.87 kg) health club participants participated in this study. Knee to wall (KTW [cm]; ankle mobility, right and left ankle), timed up and go test (TUG [sec.]) and one leg standing test with open eye (OLS [sec.], ADL function, right and left ankle), and stairs up and down time (SU and SD [sec.]; ADL) were measured before and after health club intervention. Coefficient of correlation between measurements before intervention was calculated. The effect of intervention was considered from the measurements before and after intervention using paired t-test for TUG, 2 factor ANOVA for KTW (each left and right) and SU&SD, and Wilcoxon signed rank test for OLS (each left and right). RESULTS: Measurement results before intervention were KTW (average of right and left ankle) 12.5±3.1, TUG 6.7±2.25, OLS (average of right and left ankle) 32.0±20.16, SU 3.6±2.33, and SD 5.4±3.46.The coefficient of correlation with the KTW were TUG -0.674, OLS 0.412 (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient), SU -0.483, and SD -0.579. Measurement results after intervention were KTW (average of right and left ankle) 13.3±2.75, TUG 6.1±1.94, OLS (average of right and left ankle) 38.8±20.34, SU 4.0±3.66, and SD 4.5±3.07.KTW, OLS and SD were improved significantly (p<.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The relation between the ankle joint mobility and ADL ability of elderly health club participant was observed. Improvement of ADL ability was caused by improvement of ankle joint mobility by health club intervention.
