Abstract:

The study investigated the physical self concepts and the physical activity levels and patterns of a sample of Greek adolescents. It also provided information about the associations between physical self concepts and physical activity participation. The sample consisted of 405 Greek adolescents (207 boys and 198 girls) aged 14 to 15. The PSDQ instrument (Marsh et aI., 1994) was chosen to measure the physical self-concepts and the Four by One-Day Recall questionnaire (Cale, 1993) to measure the physical activity levels and patterns of the adolescents. Analyses of responses were used to explore

Abstract:

Not participating in physical activities is considered to be a risk factor for the health and well-being of children, especially children with physical disabilities. Nonetheless, children with physical disabilities tend to participate less in physical activities than children without disabilities. The aim of this study was to identify what individual and contextual facilitators are suggested to support the participation of children aged 6 to 18 with physical disabilities in physical activities. A systematic literature review was conducted in four databases. The search was limited to articles w

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore older adults' perceptions of participation in physical exercise throughout the life course. Using a life course perspective as the theoretical framework for this study, I identified the factors in older adults' lives that may or may not lead to continuous participation in physical exercise throughout life. Through in-depth interviews with nine men and six women who are members of the Wellness Center in Southwest Virginia, I gained a precise understanding of how societal processes and opportunities, life course roles and transitions, and individual meani

Body image (BI) reflects how a person views his or her own body, and how one thinks, feels and acts toward it. This study examined the relationship of activity (sport vs. leisure) and gender to body image among adults aged 50 years and older. The sample included 182 Senior Olympians (79 men; 103 women) with a mean age of 65.5 years. Three scales measured the components of BI: the Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS) measured affective BI, the Contour Rating Drawing Scale (CRDS) measured cognitive BI, and the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire (BIAQ) measured behavioral BI.

Abstract:

Previous studies targeting youth participation in physical activity have argued that self-motivation is the main key to increasing participation. However, few studies have focused specifically on the role of structural factors in prompting youth participation in physical activity. The structure may include people, and institutions that are introducing, providing and facilitating physical activity to youth. Therefore, this study focuses on the role of the structure surrounding youth. The study takes youth in Saudi Arabia aged 15-24 as its subjects in order to examine the use of three online soc

Abstract:

African-American females are the least active segment of the population during their high school years (Bush et al., 2004), with a decline in activity nearly twice that of Caucasian girls (Kimm et al., 2002). Differences in activity choice and participation are observed among ethnic groups during adolescence (Goldsmith, 2003), and given that parents serve as role models, providers, and as interpreters of sport and physical activity experiences (Eccles & Harold, 1991), it is important to examine whether parents perceive certain activities to be more culturally appropriate than others.

Adults with mental illnesses are at an increased risk to be diagnosed with one or more comorbid physical illnesses compared to the general population. Much of the disparities faced by adults with serious mental illnesses (SMI) can be attributed to medication side effects, increased risk for metabolic diseases, inability to communicate about severity and monitor physical health symptoms, poor health behaviors, high rates of smoking, and poor quality health care. The rate of physical illnesses for adults with mental illnesses are even higher among those who have been involved with the criminal j
