The Role of Well-Being as a Value in Students’ Health-Conscious Lifestyles in the Context of the Role of Daily Physical Education

Abstract The Geneva Charter for Well-being (2021) states that for the health and well-being of the planet, society, community and individuals, we must support changes in social structures that help people take control of their own lives and health. The crisis of sport and health as values may also indirectly affect the value preferences of the younger generation regarding their lifestyle choices and the vision of society. The research investigates the impact of value transfer beyond the apparent boundaries of sport on the lifestyle and well-being of university students who regularly participate in sport and those who are physically passive. 1521 students learning at the University of Debrecen and the University of Nyíregyháza completed our online questionnaire, which integrated questions on socio-demographic background, physical health status, mental status, stress workload, risk index, physical activity index, eating patterns and value preferences. Univariate and multivariate analysis methods were applied. Our study values suggest an increasing search for a sense of safety in the age group, independent of sporting activity (this may also raise questions about the social background of the disadvantaged region). Our results show that students mainly emphasised the “open” or post-material value dimension of individual autonomy in the relationship between sports activity and value orientation. A complex mechanism of action can be experienced when examining value orientations, so we cannot show any causal links in our analysis. This study highlights the complex relationships between personal values and health behaviours among university students. It reveals that material, traditional and autonomy-oriented values influence health perceptions and certain lifestyle choices The relevance and novelty of our study is that the new generation of students who have already participated in the new implementation process in physical education and who have already been involved in the public education system has not yet been studied from this point of view.

Segmenting Croatian university students and investigating their tendency to adopt innovative food products based on their food-related lifestyles

PurposeThis paper aims to detect the patterns of food-related lifestyles of university students, identify the groups of individuals based on these lifestyles and investigate their tendency to adopt innovative food products.Design/methodology/approachThe data collected from university students in Croatia (n = 641) were analysed using factor and cluster analyses and a chi-squared test.FindingsThe findings revealed 11 food-related lifestyles and four groups of university students: “Convenience-oriented”, “Conscious consumers”, “Adventurous eaters” and “Family-oriented Cooks”. Adventurous eaters are the most interested in buying innovative food products, and many of them are food innovators (20%). Sampled individuals are open to new foods, and only a tiny percentage are reluctant to try new and unfamiliar foods.Practical implicationsThe study provides recommendations on how marketers and food producers might target these consumers more efficiently and boost the sales of innovative food products.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by (1) revealing food-related lifestyles among university students in Croatia, (2) developing the typology of consumers based on their lifestyles and (3) providing new knowledge of how food-related lifestyles affect the adoption of innovative food products.

Risky Behaviors Amongst Medical Students Within the United States

Introduction The lifestyle of medical students may drive them to engage in risky behaviors to seek solace from their academic lives. Despite studies having been conducted on the mental health of medical students, very little is known regarding practices these individuals engage in to relieve stress. Methods An anonymous Qualtrics survey was created using the CDC’s 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to assess the risky behaviors of medical students. The survey was then sent to medical students across the United States during the 2023 fall academic semester. Statistical analysis was then conducted to determine the significance of the findings. Results Five hundred and sixty-one medical students who attend medical schools in 21 US states completed the survey. 9.30% of first years disclosed engaging in more risky behaviors to cope with medical school compared to 26.86% of second years. 10.47% of first years increased their alcohol intake, compared to 21.71% of second years. 5.81% of first years admitted to increasing episodes of alcohol binge drinking compared to 16.57% of second years. 2.33% of first years reported an increase in recreational drug use, compared to 14.29% of second years. 20.35% of first years described worsened diets, compared to 40.57% of second-year students. 19.19% of first years disclosed initiating care with a mental health professional, compared to 44.57% of second years. 7.56% of first years started a new prescription medication to cope with stressors, compared to 24.0% of second years. 95.93% of first years have no diagnosed psychiatric disorders, which decreases to 85.71% of second years, 72.41% of third years, and 62.32% of fourth years. Conclusion First-year medical students engage in less risky behaviors than their peers. We propose that medical schools can attenuate these risky coping mechanisms by offering campaigns discussing the potential harms of substance use by their students.

Food Behavior and Lifestyle Among Students: The Influence of the University Environment.

A key element for a healthy lifestyle in the formative years of a young adult is a balanced, healthy, individualized diet. The aim of this study was to analyze the eating behavior and lifestyles of students at a university in Romania, as well as the extent to which the study program interferes with these factors. A retrospective study was performed, with the data being collected through an online questionnaire via the Google Forms platform; data collection for the current study was carried out in November 2024 during a student session. Out of the total of 501 questionnaires collected, 416 were completed by women and 85 by men. It can be observed that 57.65% of men (49 participants) eat three meals a day compared to 53.13% of women (221 participants). The university program influenced the students' meal schedules for 59.88% (n = 300) of participants, while 30.94% (n = 155) declared that they never have an ordered meal schedule. For 39.92% of students, the exam period has an influence on the meal schedule, including an increase the intake of sweet foods (59.88%), and some declared that they forget to eat (33.93%). The food and lifestyle behaviors in the studied group show health risk elements, especially an increase in tobacco consumption, a lack of regular meal schedules, and the consumption of an excess of unhealthy snacks. It was found that intensive study schedules may intensify this behavior.

The Utilization of Differentiated Learning in Improving Physical Fitness and Active Lifestyle of Junior High School Students: Literature Review in Physical Education

Research and publications on differentiated learning in various subjects have actually developed in several countries. However, it seems that there are still very limited studies that integrate it with physical education subjects, even though this differentiated instruction is a learning model that is relevant to the principles of physical educators, namely the principle of Develompmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) which requires that each learning is given according to the characteristics and needs of students. This study aims to conduct a review of the scientific literature in several countries regarding differentiated learning in physical education to improve physical fitness and active lifestyle. Article search is carried out with the help of the Harzing Publish or Perish program based on the Scopus database. The analysis of the search and screening of articles was carried out by the Preferred Reporting Item fo Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) procedure. Of the 51 articles identified, only six articles remain in the criteria after the exclusion stage is implemented. The results of the study show that the number of research on differentiated learning in physical education specifically to improve physical fitness and active lifestyle is still very minimal and tends to not be researched, so this indicates the need for further research to translate theory into physical education practice. However, from several studies studied in this study, no one has directly examined the impact of the application of differentiated learning to improve physical fitness and active lifestyle of junior high school students, so it is recommended for future researchers to add searches through various data bases other than Scopus, such as Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar.

Increased physical activity frequency in primary school adolescents is related to reduced risk of self-reported adverse mental health symptoms.

The sedentary lifestyle and mental health issues of primary school students are major public health issues in China and globally. Some studies have shown that regular physical activity is beneficial to health, but there are few epidemiological investigations on the relationship between physical activity and psychological problems. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between physical activity and mental health. We used data from our study, which was based on the Yanbian University School of Physical Education health survey of primary education, in which 822 elementary school students in grades 4-6 participated. Physical activity is evaluated through three questions (intensity, frequency, and duration), and mental health issues are evaluated through SPSS. In our study, 488 primary school students (200 males and 288 females) participated and completed self-reported data on physical activity and mental health variables. The findings revealed that a higher frequency of physical activity was significantly associated with decreased risks of various mental health symptoms. Specifically, students who reported a higher frequency of physical activity exhibited a lower risk of depressive symptoms (RR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.14-0.71, p < 0.05), anxiety (RR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.18-0.67, p < 0.05), low self-esteem (RR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.26-0.90, p < 0.05), and life dissatisfaction (RR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.35-0.96, p < 0.05). The risk of somatic complaints reporting was slightly lesser if the prevalence of physical activity reported at screening was higher (RR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.50-1.76), although this result was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). These findings highlight the importance of regular physical activity in promoting mental health among primary school students. Given the dose-response relationship between poor mental health and lack of physical activity, it is necessary to actively promote primary school students to participate more actively in physical activities.

THE IMPACT OF USING SMART WATCHES ON STUDENTS’ EFFORT CAPACITY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

The increasing use of smartwatch technology among university students has raised questions about its potential impact on physical health and effort capacity. This study aims to evaluate the influence of smartwatch usage on the physical performance and effort capacity of students, focusing on those who utilize these devices for monitoring physical activity and health functions. In this comparative study, we employed a questionnaire to assess the adoption and usage patterns of smartwatches among students. The research sample was divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Both groups participated in weekly aerobic gymnastics classes. However, the experimental group, equipped with smartwatches, was tasked with achieving a daily goal of 13,000-15,000 steps or expending 600 kcal. At the conclusion of the experiment, we evaluated the exercise capacity of all students using the Ruffier and Harvard tests. The results revealed significant differences between the two groups, with the experimental group demonstrating notably higher effort capacity. This suggests that the regular use of smartwatches, combined with specific fitness targets, can enhance physical performance and overall health among students. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of integrating wearable technology into student lifestyles, particularly in promoting physical activity and improving exercise capacity. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the impact of smartwatches on health and fitness, highlighting their role as valuable tools for monitoring and enhancing physical performance in an academic setting. In conclusion, smartwatches can be useful tools for students, but they must be used with discernment. It is important to strike a balance between the benefits and distractions these devices bring. Students' effort capacity may be influenced by how they integrate smartwatches into their daily routine.
