Activity Questionnaire

The goal of this study is to investigate whether or not the attention level of middle school students’ changes depends on their physical activity. Fourty middle-school students who have been taking education in Yalova province joined the study as a volunteer. Fifty percent of the participants are male and the others are female. The experimental and the control groups have been formed and each of these groups consisted of 10 male and 10 female students. International physical activity questionnaire short form and Burdon concentration test were used as the information gathering instruments. To compare the experimental groups with the control groups, a T-test was used for independent groups. To compare one to another participant in each group, also T-test was used for dependent groups. Using the international physical activity questionnaire short form, preliminary and final tests were applied to each participant. According to the results of the questionnaire, weekly MET values of each participant were calculated. At the beginning of the study, the Burdon concentration test applied to each participant. Our study has finished in eight weeks. The physical activity levels of the control group were kept constant and no information was given. Twenty pieces of Xiaomi-mi-band-3 smart bracelets were supplied to the experimental group and they were informed about the features of these devices. At the end of 8 weeks period, the international physical activity questionnaire short form and Burdon concentration test were applied to each participant again. According to the physical activity levels of the control group, no significant difference has been found between the results of the Burdon concentration test (p > 0.05). But according to the physical activity levels of the experimental group, a significant difference has been found between the results of the Burdon concentration test (p < 0.05). As a result, it has been observed that an increase in levels of physical activity provides an increase in concentration. In conclusion, it is seen that many students and young people have low levels of physical activity due to both lifestyle and virtual world dependence. Although there are many factors, the decrease in physical activity causes low levels of attention. The better the attention levels of our students and young people, the more successful they will be in their lives. Our study and most of the mentioned studies reveal that attention is a developable skill and a situational factor that is open to influence. Therefore, attention development in children who are directed to recreational activities should be emphasized, especially during periods of rapid physical growth. If we want our students and young people to be more successful, they should be encouraged and supported more about physical activity.

Background : Inadequate of vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, and calcium intake and a lower body mass index can lead to Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in vegetarian woman. The objective of this study was to determine the association between micronutrients intake, nutritional status and PMS among vegetarian women.Objectives : The objective of this study was to determine the association between micronutrients intake, nutritional status and PMS among vegetarian women.Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted to 44 vegetarians women.Subjects of this study were collected consecutively. Dietary intake were measured by Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ). Score of PMS were measured by Shortened Premenstrual Assessment Form (sPAF).Physical activity were measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Score of stress level were measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (PSS-10). Data were analyzed by Chi Square test and ratio prevalence to determine the risk factor.Results : There were 54.55% of subject have a moderate PMS level. There were a correlation between vitamin B6 and PMS (p=0.019;RP=2.96;95%CI=0.9-10), magnesium and PMS (p=0.033;RP=3.8;95%CI=0.6-23), zinc and PMS (p=0.002;RP=6.17;95%CI=0.9-39), physical activity and PMS (p=0.033;RP=3.79;95%CI=0.6-23), stress level and PMS(p=0.045;RP=0.39;95%CI=0.1-1.3). There were no correlation between calcium intake and PMS (p=0.211;RP=1.816;95%;CI=0.569-5.794), BMI and PMS (p=0.355;RP=0.753;95 %; CI=1.443).Conclusion : Intake of vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc, physical activity and stress level were correlated to PMS. Calcium intake and BMI were not correlated to PMS.

Latar belakang : Obesitas merupakan suatu kondisi akibat akumulasi lemak tubuh yang berlebihan. Kelebihan lemak tubuh dapat terjadi akibat ketidakseimbangan energi antara yang masuk dan energi yang keluar serta kurangnya aktivitas fisik. Konsumsi air dapat dikaitkan dengan penurunan persen lemak tubuh pada remaja putri.Tujuan : Mengetahui hubungan konsumsi air, asupan zat gizi, dan aktivitas fisik dengan persen lemak tubuh pada remaja putri.Metode : Penelitian observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional yang dilakukan di SMP Pangudi Luhur Domenico Savio Semarang pada bulan Juni 2014. Penelitian ini melibatkan 104 siswi berusia 13-15 tahun. Data konsumsi air, asupan energi, dan zat gizi diperoleh dengan menggunakan Food Frequency Questionaire (FFQ) semi kuantitatif. Data persen lemak tubuh diukur dengan Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Data aktivitas fisik diperoleh dengan menggunakan International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form. Analisis bivarat dianalisis dengan uji rank Spearman dan r Pearson.Hasil : Sebanyak 29,8% subjek kurang mengonsumsi air. Didapatkan hubungan bermakna antara konsumsi air dengan persen lemak tubuh (r= -0,596; p<0,05). Didapatkan pula hubungan bermakna antara asupan karbohidrat dan lemak dengan persen lemak tubuh (masing-masing nilai r= -0,254; p=0,009 dan r=0,429; p<0,05). Tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara asupan energi, protein, dan aktivitas fisik dengan persen lemak tubuh.Kesimpulan : Dalam penelitian ini terbukti bahwa konsumsi air, asupan karbohidrat, dan asupan lemak mempunyai hubungan dengan persen lemak tubuh pada remaja putri. Asupan karbohidrat dan asupan lemak menjadi prediktor dari persen lemak tubuh pada remaja putri.

AbstractObjective:To examine a possible problem of overreporting and to describe the degree of error with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short telephone protocol.Design:Cross-sectional study, using two different physical activity (PA) self-report protocols.Setting:Telephone interviews about PA in Belgium.Subjects:Fifty adults who had previously been interviewed with IPAQ in a national survey.Results:Seventy-five per cent reported less PA with the modified procedure than with the IPAQ. Twenty-three of the 50 individuals were found to have reported some amounts of PA with the IPAQ (either walking, or vigorous or moderate PA) when they should have reported none. In total, based on their revised reports of PA, 50% fewer persons met PA recommendations than was the case with IPAQ. The overreporting could not be related to types of error-prone individuals.Conclusions:Overreporting of PA in population samples is a serious problem that could be reduced by implementing procedure changes without changing the IPAQ items themselves.
