Abstract Despite the well-known benefits for health, low levels of physical activity (PA) remain a public health issue. Research on motives for engaging in different PA shows differences in motives for Sports and Exercises. However, few studies addressed motives using more categories of PA. In this research, we investigated motives for four categories of PA (Individual Sports, Collective Sports, Exercises, and Body/Movement Practices), and possible effects of sex and age among 1,420 physically active individuals. Respondents answered the Motivation for Physical Activity Measure Revised. Intrinsic motives were higher for Sports, while Exercisers were motivated more extrinsically. Body/Movement Practices, although being composed of several activities defined by previous studies as Exercises, showed a motivational pattern closer to Sports. Fitness/Health motivation increased with age, while Appearance motivation decreased. Regarding sex, women reported higher Interest/Enjoyment than men. Our results can have implications for physical activities promotion, especially considering more categories than Sports/Exercises in the context of different motives.

Body Movements

Body movements and heart rate were measured during dental treatment in 58 children 3 to 12 years of age. The heart rate increased in 85% of the 34 children who moved during intraoral injection. The heart rate decreased in 71% of the children with no overt body movement during intraoral injection.

Activity Assessment

The use of movement registration for daily physical activity assessment was evaluated during a 7-day period in 30 free-living subjects. Body movement was registered with a Tracmor motion sensor consisting of a triaxial accelerometer and a data unit for on-line processing of accelerometer output over 1-min intervals. Average Tracmor output was correlated against four different energy estimates: 1) average daily metabolic rate (ADMR), determined with doubly labeled water; 2) ADMR-sleeping metabolic rate (SMR; determined in a respiration chamber); 3) (ADMR-SMR) per kilogram of body mass; and 4) the overall physical activity level (PAL = ADMR/SMR). The highest correlation was found for the relationship between Tracmor output and PAL (r = 0.58). After correction for Tracmor values arising from vibrations produced by transportation means, this correlation was improved to 0.73. There was no difference between Tracmor output and PAL in discriminating between overall activity levels with "low" (PAL < 1.60), "moderate" (1.60 < or = PAL < or = 1.85), and "high" (PAL > 1.85) intensity. It is concluded that the Tracmor can be used in free-living subjects to distinguish among interindividual as well as intraindividual levels of daily physical activity.

It is widely accepted that children in Scotland, as in other high-income countries, are not engaging in sufficient moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), the consequences of which can be adverse for health and wellbeing. In this paper, it is contended that active play (a form of gross motor or total body movement in which children exert energy in a freely chosen, fun, and unstructured manner) has potential to redress this deficit in MVPA. This paper reflects on lessons learned from active play interventions in Scottish schools, providing recommendations for schools on how to encourage more active play. It is argued that promoting active play during school break times and in the after-school period, and participating in active play interventions are promising ways of increasing children’s MVPA and improving their fundamental movement skills.

Abstract : Insomnia is a difficulty in starting and maintaining sleep so someone cannot meetadequate sleep needs, both quantity and quality. Physical activity is a body movement producedby skeletal muscle which results in energy expenditure, regular physical activity has long beenconsidered an important component in healthy living. The purpose of this study was todetermine the relationship between physical activities and the incidence of insomniaexperienced by Manado Global gym athletes. The research method used was observationalanalytic with cross sectional design. The sampling technique in this study was total samplingwith 100 samples. Data collection is done using a questionnaire. The research result based onstatistic test of Chi-Square test with the level of meaning 95% (α = 0,05) is presented on a table2x3 with earned value р = 0,000 which is smaller than α (0,05) with rejected Ho and acceptedHa. The conclusion shows that there is a correlation between physical activities and insomniacondition experienced by Global Manado gym athletes.Keywords : Physical activity, insomnia incidentAbstrak : Insomnia merupakan kesukaran dalam memulai dan mempertahankan tidur sehinggatidak dapat memenuhi kebutuhan tidur yang adekuat, baik kuantitas maupun kualitas.

Reports show that children’s physical activity (PA) levels are related to FMS proficiency; however, whether PA levels directly improve FMS is uncertain. This study investigated the responses of PA levels and FMS proficiency to active play (AP) and guided active play (GAP) interventions. Three community programs (seven-weeks; 4d·wk-1) were randomly assigned to: i) active play (CON); ii) locomotor skills (LOC) guided active play (GAP); and iii) object control skills (OC) GAP groups. Children’s (n = 52; 6.5 (0.9) yr) interventions included continuous and/or intermittent cooperative games focused on either locomotor skills (i.e. blob tag, red-light-green-light) or object control skills i.e., hot potato, racket balloons, 4-way soccer). PA levels (accelerometers) were assessed on 2 of 4 sessions per week throughout the program. The Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) was used to assess FMS scores. The changes for CON and LOC interventions for locomotor standard scores were -0.83 (2.61) vs. 2.6 (2.64) (α = 0.022), for locomotor percentiles -9.08 (36.7) vs. 20.1 (30.4) (α = 0.033) and for gross motor quotient percentiles -4.3 (30.3) vs. 24.1 (29.6) (α = 0.022). Children’s PA levels averaged 158.6 (6.6) kcal·55min-1 for CON vs. 174.5 (28.3) kcal.55min-1 for LOC (α = 0.089) and 170.0 (20.1) kcal·55min-1 for OC (α = 0.144). Moderate-Vigorous PA was 18.4 (8.0) %, 47.9 (7.8) % (α = 0.000) and 51.9 (6.0) % (α = 0.000) for CON, LOC and OC, while time at sedentary/very light PA was 36.4 (9.8) %, 15.1 (4.9) % (α = 0.000) and 14.9 (15.9) %Sed/VL (α = 0.001) during the 7-week program. The OC intervention showed more upper body movement experiences compared to the LOC program (p = 0.020). A guided active play program using LOC cooperative games showed increases in energy expenditure and %MVPA and improved FMS proficiency, but active play did not. For school-aged children (5-7 yr) guided active play using cooperative games may be an effective strategy to improve FMS and promote health and fitness benefits.
