Abstract:

The physical fitness of college students can be evaluated scientifically based on the data of physical education (PE). This paper firstly relies on the Apriori algorithm to mine the hidden correlations between the physical fitness indices from the PE data on college students, and identify the indices closely associated with the physical fitness of college students. Then, the Apriori algorithm was improved to reduce the time complexity of association rule mining. Based on the improved algorithm, it was learned that the correlation coefficients of several indices surpassed the minimum support of

Abstract:

AbstractHeart Rate Variability (HRV) has been typically used to monitor athletes’ physical fitness readiness. The supine position maximizes parasympathetic tone, which is important for monitoring in continuous aerobic sports, however, this is not the case of team sports that rely on anaerobic intermittent bouts, thus increasing sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal. We hypothesized that HRV during sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal would be a useful marker to evaluate perceived physical fitness in team sports. HRV was measured in both supine and standing positions during the mor

Emotion regulation (ER) is a strong predictor of different aspects of mental health and wellbeing. However, only recently has ER been examined in relation to physical activity and its effects on fitness. In the present study, 26 elite helicopter pilots, serving in the Spanish Air Force, were physically trained for 6 months, and their level of fitness (maximum oxygen consumption and time to exhaustion in a treadmill-running test) was assessed before and after that period. Additionally, two indices of emotion regulation (general adaptiveness of ER strategies, as measured by the Emotion Regulatio

Abstract:

One of the most important issues of physical education, which requires a positive rethinking and scientific substantiation, is the development of motor abilities in schoolchildren at physical education lessons. The study involved 54 schoolchildren of 4th grade. At the beginning of the study, we conducted testing to determine the level of physical fitness. The article presents some aspects of the study on the development of physical fitness of schoolchildren by means of outdoor games. The technology is based on the orderly use of outdoor games and game exercises of varying intensity and orienta

Abstract:

Children with overweight/obese (OW/OB) have low physical activity (PA) levels and excessive daily screen times. Although access to personal smartphones may complicate restricting sedentary screen time, these devices may be used to promote PA and improve fitness. Therefore, we aim to examine the impact of incorporating an exergame application (APP) into an existing weight management program on BMI, physical activity, fitness levels, and attitude toward PA among OW/OB children. Seventy-nine children (51% girls), median age 10 years, completed an established 5-month weight management program. The

e21658 Background: Weight gain, deterioration of physical fitness, and cancer-related fatigue often occur in the breast cancer patients mainly due to endocrine therapy. A number of previous studies have reported that obesity increases the risk of breast cancer recurrence and death, while exercise habituation improves physical fitness and fatigue among breast cancer patients. However, almost all studies have been conducted in the Western community and there are few studies focused on Asian women who may have lower BMI compared with the Western ones. Therefore, we investigated whether a combined

Abstract:

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the ability of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to predict African American children’s moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and cardiorespiratory fitness. Children (N = 548, ages 9–12) completed questionnaires assessing the TPB constructs and MVPA and then had their cardiorespiratory fitness assessed with the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test. Commonly used Structural Equation Modeling fit indices suggested the model was an adequate representation for the relationships within the data. However, results also sugge

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Physical Education Teacher Attitudes Toward Fitness Tests Scale (PETAFTS) produces reliable and valid scores. There were 4 stages and 4 sets of participants in the development of the PETAFTS. First, the domains of attitude were defined and cognitive and affective components were developed, organized, and validated. In the second stage, 134 full-time physical education teachers participated in a pilot study and PETAFTS was revised based on the information obtained. In the third stage, 28 teacher educators served on an expert panel and organ

This article presents the results of a study with supermarket customers and fitness center users. The research shows that the daily life of these individuals (here called "the public") contemplates elements of the mediatic discourse about health and well-being. In the perspective of this study, this discourse is compatible with biopower, the power technique that seeks to create economically active bodies. The work uses participant observation.
