New trends of physical activity in health education

100%
Health is no doubt the most important value of an individual. Every one of us needs to maintain and improve their mental and physical fitness. The body as well as joints are subject to the process of aging. However, these processes can be delayed via applying training programs presented in this paper, which deals with the role of three various forms of physical activity in health education – Power yoga, Pilates and SM system. The aim of this contribution is to present these activities as new opportunities that have a positive effect on physical and mental state of an individual, sup-ported by self-control and self-actuation.
Background. The transition from high school to college is an important milestone in the life of adolescents. In this stage of life, they are already aware of their responsibility for their health, which allows them to develop their health habits. The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge about selected aspects of female university students’ lifestyle, including sports, sleep, stress, alcohol and smoking. Material and methods. This cross-sectional research was carried out with 1,055 female university students in their first year of study at two universities in Slovakia as part of the VEGA grant project no. 1/0825/17 “Recommendations for physical activities in prevention and control of non-communicable diseases and their implementation in the Eastern part of Slovakia” implemented at P.J. Šafárik University in Košice. Data was collected on lifestyle factors, including frequency and regularity of participating in sports during the preceding half year, by means of a questionnaire. Results. Students of both universities reported low levels of engagement in sport activity in the preceding six months, in terms of frequency and regularity of its weekly performance. There appeared to be a statistically significant relationship between the frequency of sport activity and fatigue after waking. Other relationships were not found to be statistically significant. Conclusions. The scope of educational work by university education experts should include appropriate ways of influencing the lifestyle of first-year university students towards maintaining their good health. This can be carried out within the context of health education during compulsory and optional physical education classes.
There is not a region in the world untouched by the obesity epidemic. Once just a problem of wealthy nations, obesity now impacts countries at all economic levels. The night-eating syndrome (NES) consists of evening hyperphagia or nocturnal eating. However, it is not consistently related to elevated BMI and physical activity (Nolan et al., 2012). We have evidence that the prevalence of NES is higher among overweight-related people, than in a general community. Nevertheless, the exact relationship between this syndrome, physical activity and obesity remains unclear. The reasons for the discrepancies found in the literature include varying diagnostic criteria and a wide range of study population characteristics. The aim of our cross sectional study, that is part of VEGA project “Selected risk factors of obesity and its prevention by physical activity” No.1/1343/12, was to investigate the relationship between the night-eating pattern, physical activity (PA) and BMI on a sample of university freshmen and fresh-women (774 males / 1142 females) with a mean age of 21,46 years (SD = 2.33).We found positive association between eating late, physical activity and BMI. However, we recognized some differences between sexes in physical activity and eating habits.
The aim of work was to determine the effects of 8-week strength-endurance training program on somatic indicators in senior females. Applying bioelectrical impedance analysis method (InBODY 230 device) we evaluated the following parameters: body weight, BMI, body fat, total skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass in left and right upper and lower extremities, trunk muscle mass, and the mineral mass in the body. To assess regularity of physical activities, variability of lifestyle and quality of life, we used a standardized survey questionnaire. The study was carried out on 29 senior citizens, of the average 70.28 years of age and BMI 26.47 kg/m². A group of active elderly women underwent an 8-week strength-endurance program, including exercises focused primarily on the development of strength abilities of the upper limbs, and secondarily on developing strength abilities of lower extremities and developing general aerobic abilities. The influence of the aerobic program induced statistically significant increase in the total skeletal muscle mass from the initial value of 22.966 kg to 23.552 kg, an increase by 0.552kg (p≤0.01) of the monitored parameter. On the contrary, the parameter of body fat percentage of the studied group showed significant decrease of the input value of 36.207%, to the output value of 35.062%, representing a change at the level of 1.145% (p ≤0.01). By assessment of changes in the muscle mass of upper limbs and the trunk, we found a statistically significant increase, which reflects a change in the total quantity of the skeletal muscle (p ≤0.005). The mineral mass in the probands increased by only 0.091 kg. However, this increase was confirmed at 0.1% level of statistical significance (p≤0.001). The above results indicate that regular performance of physical activities in groups of the elderly proves to be efficient in preventing sarcopenia, obesity and maintaining a balance of the particular tissues making up the total body composition.
Introduction. The study aims to determine the level of awareness and meeting recommendations regarding physical activity in selected chronic diseases patients groups in eastern Slovakia. We further focused on the role of the physician and medical staff in providing recommendations on performing physical activity in the patients’ treatment as well as meeting these recommendations by the patients. Material and Methods. The study comprised 893 patients (353 males and 540 females) of average age 54.24 years. The dominant condition for participating in the research was the occurrence of one or more diagnoses out of three underlying chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, oncology disease, metabolic disease) that do not prevent physical activity. For data collection, a non-standardized questionnaire had been applied, as part of the questionnaire battery explicitly designed for the research. The results were analyzed in relation to the chronic diseases groups and gender. Results. More than 60% of the surveyed acknowledged the importance of physical activity in treating their diseases; however, only one-third of patients performed physical activity regularly. Nearly half of patients were provided only with general information concerning physical activity by their physicians. Similarly, half of patients received information from their physicians on the minimum requirements for physical activity and were aware of exercises to be carried out in the prevention and treatment of their diseases, but showed no interest in performing those. Differences in patientsˈ awareness of PA within the individual chronic disease groups were significant. Gender-related differences were found significant only in particular cases. Conclusions. The study supports the importance of education and propagation of healthy lifestyle, inherently including regular physical activity.
Background. The aim of this work was to examine the awareness of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) on the importance of physical activity (PA) in the prevention and treatment of their disease. Material and methods. The survey was completed by 178 respondents (47.3% women, 52.7% men), of whom 69.1% were dependent on exogenous insulin. Data was collected in April 2019 via a questionnaire given to patients at the Department of Diabetology and Internal Medicine at the Louis Pasteur University Hospital in Košice, Slovakia. Results. More than half of the respondents admitted having insufficient information about their health condition, and a similar proportion felt lack of knowledge regarding exercise for their illness. As many as 69.1% of the patients reported inadequate help by their health care providers with regard to the do’s and dont’s of their disease, and 41.9% of respondents reported having no knowledgeable health care provider with whom to share their concerns. Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that a substantial number of DM patients do not have adequate information about their health condition and how to improve it. On the other hand, nearly two-thirds of participants recognize that regular physical activity (PA) is an option to achieve positive changes.
A current problem of the population nowadays appears to be the lack of motor activity, the increase in BMI and the growth in stressogenic factors in the way of life of the population. This in turn affects the quality of human life and health. On a sample of university undergraduates (794 men and 1,169 women) we were observing the relation between overweight, namely the level of BMI gained via somatometric measurement, and the amount of subjectively evaluated level of motor activity, in their relation to the subjectively perceived extent of stress in their lifestyle, using the method of questionnaire. The results in both genders confirmed the existing relationship between BMI values and the degree of physical activity as well as the correlation between motor activity and subjectively perceived stress. As a result, the relationship between the variables motor activity and stress level did not prove significant.
