스트레스(α-Amylase)와 관련된 유아 건강요인 비교 - 유아건강행동모델 개발을 위한 기초적 연구

This study was conducted targeting a total of 348 people consisting of 174 children aged three to five and 174 parents. It aims to figure out the children’s stress levels by analyzing their basic life styles, exercise capacities, and physical activities according to the stress levels and to provide basic data for the future development of child health behavioral model. According to the result, among 174 children, 112 were “under no stress (64.4%),” 24 were “under a little stress,” 17 were “under stress,” 21 were “under a lot of stress,” which showed that the number of those who were under stress was 62 (35.6%). The result of analyzing the children’s basic life styles and stress levels showed that there were statistically significant differences in wake-up time, free time, and time spent watching TV. In the case of children, too much or too little free time given to them in their daily lives can lead to higher stress levels. It is necessary to present moderate guidelines that they can follow.In addition, all the exercise capacities including general endurance, left-right muscular strength, agility, and left-right balance gradually increased from three to five years of age, but it appeared not to be related to stress. There were also differences in the amount of children’s physical activity and stress level by age, but it was not irrelevant to their stress levels. Accordingly, this study suggests that a health behavioral model suitable for children is developed in follow-up studies to present guidelines of health lifestyle.

WITHDRAWN: IoT based psychological and physical stress evaluation in sportsmen using heart rate variability

Abstract Sports have become the important and most prominent play for each and every country to indulge their pride to the world. For this reason, countries are eager and interested in protecting the players/sportsmen in many ways such as health related, money, security etc. The life quality of sportsmen is improved by detecting huge potential known to be stress for preventing and managing the diseases. Moreover, low-cost wearable devices are available for monitoring the vital signs which leads to the detection of stress. Furthermore, the stress-levels are determined by using a particular vital sign known as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) that data is collected from a particular wearable device. In this paper, a real-time detection framework is proposed for analysing the level of stress for a particular sports person. The proposed framework consists of a hybrid classification technique named Multi-Output Regression (MOR) with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) to analyse and identify various stress levels and its relationship with data of HRV. Furthermore, 5-min time determination of each sportsman is distinguished based on their psychological and physical stress-levels. The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed framework obtains a high accuracy level when comparing with other models. With a lower error rate and based on efficiency, the proposed model achieves a high accuracy level of more than 96%.

Physical Activity and Mental Health of Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of personal restrictions on physical activity, mental health, stress experience, resilience, and sleep quality in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) during the “lockdown” period of the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 112 PH patients and 52 age-matched healthy control subjects completed a questionnaire on the topics of physical activity, mental health, resilience, and sleep quality. PH patients had significantly lower physical activity, mental health, and sleep quality compared to age-matched healthy controls. Physical activity positively correlated with mental health and sleep quality in the PH group. Mental wellbeing and life satisfaction could be predicted by total physical activity, sleep, stress level, and resilience. PH patients appeared as an especially vulnerable group, demanding interventions to promote an active lifestyle and protect mental health in these patients. This could be helpful in counseling on how to carry out physical activity while maintaining infection control.

Efeitos da prática de caminhada em hipertensos: revisão integrativa

Objetivo: analisar os efeitos da prática da caminhada em hipertensos. Métodos: revisão integrativa da literatura em língua portuguesa, efetuada nas bases de dados SciELO e Lilacs – BVS. Realizou-se uma revisão em sete artigos publicados entre os anos de 2010 e 2020. Resultados: o estudo revelou que a prática da caminhada é efetiva para redução dos níveis pressóricos em diferentes contextos e intensidades no controle da hipertensão, seja com efeitos agudos e/ou crônicos, sendo assim considerada uma ferramenta não medicamentosa, pois condiciona o sistema cardiovascular a responder fisiologicamente com diminuição da reatividade vascular, mesmo em situações de estresse, induzindo a diminuição na pressão arterial. Conclusão: a pesquisa apontou que a caminhada tem efeitos positivos sobre os níveis pressóricos, uma vez que a mesma contribuiu significativamente para o controle da hipertensão arterial sistêmica, especialmente naquelas que tiveram acompanhamento de um profissional de educação física. Sugere-se a proposição de novas pesquisas que levem em consideração não só a atuação desse profissional, mas também utilize outras variáveis, como diferentes modalidades de atividade física, dieta alimentar, níveis de estresse e qualidade do sono.

Personal protective equipment in the COVID-19 pandemic and the use of cooling-wear as alleviator of thermal stress : Apilot study in plastic surgery staff members.

SummaryBackgroundHigh temperatures at workplaces lead to health-related risks and premature exhaustion. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic requires many health professionals to perform under unfavorable conditions. Personal protective equipment (PPE) causes thermal stress and negatively affects performance.Patients, materials and methodsThis pilot project investigated the effects of PPE and additional cooling wear on physiological parameters and concentration of six healthy staff members of the Plastic Surgery Department of the Medical University of Graz, Austria during simulated patient care. In this study two 1‑hour cycles with patient care-related tasks with PPE and PPE + cooling-wear, respectively, were conducted. A third cycle with scrubs exclusively served as baseline/negative control. The assessment occurred immediately pre-cycles and post-cycles.ResultsPre-cycle assessments showed no significant differences between the cycles. After PPE cycle, increased physical stress levels and decrements in concentration capacity were observed. Physiological parameters were significantly less affected in the cooling cycle, while concentration capacity slightly increased.ConclusionCOVID-19 PPE causes considerable thermal stress, ultimately affecting human performance. As opportunity to withstand thermal stress, and improve patients’ and professionals’ safety, cooling-wear can be considered relevant. Medical personnel performing in exceptional situations may particularly benefit from further development and investigation of cooling strategies.

Trend of getting medical education is increasing day by day in our society. Our tough educational system and intricate pattern of medical education is rendering the medical students to become more stressed and physically inactive affecting directly or indirectly their academic achievements and deteriorating their cognitive and learning skills. The purpose of our study is to evaluate how physical activity and stress level affect academic performance of medical students. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study with sample size of 304. The study population was from all the five years of MBBS in Rawalpindi Medical University. The study duration was 1-month. Data collection was done through International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) and through perceived stress scale (PSS). Analysis was done through SPSS V. 23. The gender and academic performance are showing significant association with females being on high achievers’ side as compared to males. The physical activity and gender association was also significant with males being physically more active. However, the association of academic performance with stress level and physical activity was not significant with (P-value >0.005). PSS-score between high achiever and low achiever was not significant with (P-value = 0.187) and confidence interval of 95%. However, Pearson's correlation between IPAQ score and academic performance was significant with (P-value = 0.036), It was negative showing that high IPAQ score Correlates with low academic performance. Male students were physically more active, obtaining relatively less percentage academically with less preponderance towards high level of stress as compared to female students.

Investigation of the Effect of COVID-19 Outbreak on Physical Activity, Perceived Stress, Physical Activity Awareness and Exercise Barriers: A National Study

Background: The new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) seems to have had a major impact on physical activity behavior globally. Therefore, it was aimed to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on physical activity, perceived stress, awareness of physical activity, and exercise barriers nationally. Methods: The survey was sent on-line and data were collected between May 8 and May 31, 2020. The physical activity levels of the respondents were evaluated with the Physical Activity (PA) Questionnaire - Short Form and stress levels with the Perceived Stress Scale. The awareness of exercise and barriers to exercise were questioned with qualitative questions. One-way ANOVA, the Chi-squared test, and Pearson Correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. Findings: Evaluation was made of 1087 participants aged 18-76 years. During the COVID-19 outbreak, 70% of Turkish adults had inadequate physical activity, which was a higher rate than national and global prevalence. It was observed that the perceived stress level was different in terms of PA levels (F: 23·948, p Interpretation: The precautions taken during the COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey were seen to have a negative effect on physical activity and stress levels, and the most affected groups in this outbreak were females and young adults. Home-based exercises can support the protection of physical and mental health, and avoid the risk of inactivity-related health problems during the COVID-19 outbreak. Funding: There is no funding support for the study.Declaration of Interests: The authors have no conflict of interests to declare.Ethics Approval Statement: The study was approved by the IRB and was conducted in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration.

Associations between objective measures of physical activity, sleep and stress levels among preschool children

BackgroundCortisol is often used as a biological marker for stress. When measured in urine or serum, representing a short-term measurement of the hormone, it has been associated with unfavorable sleep characteristics and both low and high physical activity levels. However, cortisol in hair represents a long-term stress measure and has been suggested as a promising new marker for chronic stress. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association between objectively measured sleep, physical activity and hair cortisol levels in preschool children.MethodsIn order to obtain objective measures of physical activity and sleep habits, 54 children aged 2–6 years wore an ActiGraph for 5 consecutive days and nights. For chronic stress measurements of each child, hair was cut from the back of the head close to the scalp for analysis of cortisol levels. Associations between measured sleep quality and quantity and level of physical activity and hair cortisol levels were estimated using linear regression analysis, presented as β. Results were adjusted for sex, age and BMI z-score.ResultsWe found no significant association between log-transformed cortisol (pg/mg) and sleep duration (hours) (β = − 0.0016, p = 0.99), sleep efficiency (β = − 3.1, p = 0.18), sleep latency (β = 0.015, p = 0.16) or physical activity level (100 counts per min) (β = 0.014, p = 0.22). However, sleep latency (min) was directly associated with physical activity (counts per min) levels (β = 35.2, p = 0.02), while sleep duration (hours) (β = − 142.1, p = 0.55) and sleep efficiency (%) (β = − 4087, p = 0.26) showed no significant associations.ConclusionsIn our study, a high physical activity level was associated with poorer sleep habits. Neither sleep quality nor physical activity were related to long term cortisol exposure. These results are among the first to study associations between objectively measured sleep, physical activity and chronic cortisol levels among preschool children. More and larger studies are therefore needed.

Effect of playing soccer on stress, sociality, and physical fitness in alienated youth: a retrospective study.

This study was to analyze bullying experiences, physical fitness, and stress and social support in young students who have taken part in a soccer program for approximately 3 years. Fifty-two participants who were divided into two groups: a control group that had not experienced alienation (NAG; n=45, 86.5%) and an experimental group that had ex-perienced alienation (AG; n=7, 13.5%). The frequency of alienation in AG was ‘1–2 times’ or ‘a few times’ per week. NAG believed their in-volvement in the soccer program helped them improve their relation-ships with friends, cope with alienation, and overcome bullying. Muscle mass and basal metabolic rate of NAG showed higher levels than those of AG. Strength of NAG was significantly higher than that of AG. Stress levels of NAG were significantly lower than those of AG. Although so-cial support was not significantly different between groups, there was a higher tendency in NAG to have stronger social support compared to AG. In conclusion, this study suggests that physical fitness and stress levels can be improved by playing soccer. In particular, participating in a soccer program for an extended period of time can benefit individuals who are socially alienated.

Prevalence and factors associated with prediabetes and diabetes in fishing communities in penang, Malaysia: A cross-sectional study.

BackgroundDiabetes is a metabolic disorder, characterized by hyperglycemic state of the body. A silent killer, which can take the lives of victims if undiagnosed at the earliest stage. Prediabetes has become an important health concern across countries due to its huge potential for the development of diabetes and other complications. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes and its associated factors among rural fishing communities in Penang, Malaysia.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among fishing communities in Southwest District of Penang, Malaysia from August to November 2017. Blood sample (finger prick test) and physical examination were performed on sample of 168 participants consented in this study. Pre-validated Malay versions of International Physical Activity 7 (IPAQ-7) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaires were used to assess the level of physical activity and stress levels of the participants. Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors associated with prediabetes and diabetes.ResultsThe prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were 19.6% (95% CI: 14.3, 26.4) and 10.12% (95% CI: 6.4, 15.7) respectively. The median physical activity (interquartile range) in MET-minutes per week for those with diabetes (1071.0 (2120.0)) and prediabetes (1314.0 (1710.0)) was generally lower as compared to non-diabetes. Majority reported moderate stress (57.3%) from PSS system. Abdominal obesity, family history of diabetes and being hypertensive were significant factors associated with diabetes; while older age, bigger waist circumference and self-perceived poor routine diet were factors associated with prediabetes.ConclusionsThe screening for prediabetes in this population gives the opportunity to implement lifestyle interventions at the earliest possible, which could prevent the development of diabetes. The identification of diabetic individuals provides an opportunity to conduct health promotion and education to ensure good metabolic control and hence reduce the risks of complications.

Physical fitness modulates mucosal immunity and acceleration capacity during a short-term training period in elite youth basketball players

This study aimed to investigate the effect of physical fitness level (Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 [Yo-Yo IR 1]) and initial stress level (salivary cortisol [SC]) on salivary immunoglobulin A secretion rate (SIgA rate ), and the influence of physical fitness on accelerations (external training load; eTL) and training impulse (TRIMP; internal training load; iTL), in 20 elite youth male basketball players (14.5 ± 0.5 years; height, 177 ± 10 cm; body mass, 69 ± 13 kg) following a short-term training stress (two daily consecutive basketball-training sessions). Saliva samples were collected before and after the experimental period. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using the Yo-Yo IR 1 and SC as independent variables, and changes in SIgA rate as dependent variable. The Yo-Yo IR 1 was the only statistically significant variable (R = 0.73; P = 0.001). Participants were divided a posteriori into high fitness (HFG) and low fitness (LFG) groups according to the median-split technique, taking the Yo-Yo IR 1 performance into account, to compare the eTL and iTL. HFG performed a higher total eTL (34 ± 13 vs. 17 ± 7 accelerations; t = 3.4; P = 0.003) but no difference between fitness groups was observed for TRIMP ( t = 0.33; P = 0.74). The results suggest that physical fitness level may play a role on mucosal immunity responses from short-term training stress in youth basketball players. Players with greater level of physical fitness are likely to perform a higher training load without inducing higher stress levels. Cette étude vise à investiguer l’effet du niveau de condition physique (Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 [Yo-Yo IR 1]) et du niveau initial de stress (cortisol salivaire [CS]) dans le taux de sécrétion de l’immunoglobuline A salivaire [SIgA rate ]), et l’influence du niveau de condition physique sur les accélérations (la charge d’entraînement externe ; eTL) et sur l’impulsion d’entraînement (TRIMP ; la charge d’entraînement interne ; iTL), de 20 jeunes joueurs de basket-ball d’élite masculin (14,5 ± 0,5 années ; taille, 177 ± 10 cm; poids, 69 ± 13 kg), après un stress d’entraînement à court terme (deux jours consécutifs de séance d’entraînement de basket-ball). Les recueils salivaires ont été effectués avant et après la période expérimentale. Une analyse de régression linéaire multiple a été conduite avec Yo-Yo RI 1 et CS comme des variables indépendants et les changements dans SIgA rate comme la variable dépendante. La variable Yo-Yo RI 1 a été le seule variable statistiquement significative (R = 0,73 ; p = 0,001). Les participants ont été séparés a posteriori en groups condition physique élevé (CPE) et condition physique faible (CPF) selon la technique median-split , tenant compte de la performance du Yo-Yo RI 1, comparer le eTL et iTL. CPE a réalisé un total plus élevé de la eTL (34 ± 13 vs 17 ± 7 accélérations ; t = 3,4; p = 0,003), mais aucune différence n’a été enregistrée entre les groups pour le iTL (TRIMP; t = 0,33 ; p = 0,74). Les résultats suggèrent que la condition physique pourrait jouer un rôle dans les réponses immunitaires du stress d’entraînement à court terme des jeunes joueurs de basket-ball. Les joueurs ayant un meilleur niveau de condition physique sont aptes de réaliser une charge d’entraînement plus élevée sans induire des niveaux de stress plus élevés.

Based on the inclusion-exclusion criteria, 17 studies were selected. Due to moderate to high effect sizes, results show that exergames are a potentially useful tool in some therapeutic treatments for individuals with mental health disorders, although methodological limitations reflect the need for more comprehensive and focused studies. Evidence-based articles are categorized for their potential applications to mental health settings, and the games themselves are briefly described.

Relationship between self-rated health status and physical activity in obese South Indian patients

Background: Regular physical activity can improve people's overall health and reduce various risks for morbidity and mortality due to a sedentary lifestyle. Although the evidence linking obesity with many chronic diseases is well established, the relationship with self-rated health is not clear. The study aimed to assess the relationship between physical activity and self-rated health and how it is related to obesity.Methods: The cross-sectional study included 132 individuals above18 years, of both genders, with BMI above 25kg/m2. Data was collected using a structured proforma which included apart from demographic parameters, anthropometry parameters, self-reported physical activity, health status and stress levels of the subjects. Chi-square test/Fisher's exact test was used to assess the association between BMI, physical activity and self-rated health.Results: A total of 132 subjects were included with a mean age of 48.44±11.23 years, with an almost equal proportion of males and females. The mean of BMI was 29.54±3.99. Most of them reported having normal physical activity (61.36%) with only 3% of them having high physical activity. The self-rated health of the subjects revealed 45.45% of them is having fair health and 43.18% of them having poor health. The mean a number of hours spent by sitting/sedentary activity in a week were 32.32±21.09.Conclusions: The study findings revealed that the irrespective of the degree of physical activity both overweight and obese subjects rated their health fair to poor.

Factors Affecting Regular Physical Activity in Nursing Students

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the distribution of stages of change of physical activity and identify the influence of self-efficacy for physical activity, stress, and stress-coping style on regular physical activity in nursing students. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted at 3 universities in the cities of C, I, and U in Korea. Data on stages of change for physical activity, self-efficacy for physical activity, stress-coping style, stress level, and health behaviors were collected from 209 nursing students. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, chi-square, Pearson’s correlation, and logistic regression analyses. Results The highest proportion (39.2%) of nursing students were at the contemplation stage of change for physical activity. The mean score of self-efficacy was 2.67 out of 5 points. Among the participants’ stress-coping styles, the average number of active coping styles was 4.74 out of 7 points, and passive coping styles was 4.67 out of 7 points. Regular physical activity was related to self-efficacy, stress coping, and stress level. Regression analyses showed that self-efficacy for physical activity (odds=2.30), emotion-focused stress coping (odds=1.65), and stress coping involving seeking social support (odds=1.44) were significant predictors of regular physical activity (R2=0.20). Conclusions The recognition of individual’s self-efficacy, stresscoping styles, and stages of change for physical activity might be a factor in improving regular physical activity among nursing students. While nursing students at the lower stages need more self-efficacy, those at the higher stages require more social support resources in the program for physical activity for nursing students. Key words: Nursing student, Physical activity, Self-efficacy, Stages of change, Stress
