The Impact

The objective was to analyze the impact of social isolation on moderate physical activity and factors associated with sedentary behavior of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a cross-sectional study involving 111 older adults (aged 71.0 ± 6.87 years). The data were collected at two time points: in November 2019 and in June 2020. There was a decline in moderate physical activity when the minutes/week were compared before and during social isolation (p < .001). Sedentary behavior was associated with the condition of living alone. Older adults who lived alone were 3.29 times more likely to spend 4 hr or more in sedentary behavior than those who lived with a partner (95% confidence interval [1.01, 10.74]). Government agencies must establish PA-related health promotion strategies, especially in developing and low-income countries. Therefore, home exercises need to be encouraged to prevent the consequences of this pandemic period.

AbstractRegular physical activity causes numerous and substantial performance-improving And health-enhancing effects. Most of them are highly predictable, dose-dependent and generalizable to a wide range of population groups. Many of the biological effects of regular, moderate physical activity translate into substantially reduced risk of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, maturity onset diabetes, overweight and obesity, and osteoporosis. These effects also substantially reduce the risk of deterioration of functional capacity. In the genesis of these conditions, alack of physical activity and inadequate nutrition act synergistically and in part additively, and they operate largely through the same pathways. It is conceivable to suggest that the prevalence of, e.g, the above mentioned metabolic diseases is so high in Europe largely because of the high prevalence of sedentariness and inadequate nutrition. Thus, both physical activity and nutrition have to be given strong emphasis in policies, strategies and programmes that will be developed and implemented for improving the health of Europeans.

Background:There are several practical issues when considering the use of hip-worn or wrist-worn accelerometers. This study compared compliance and outcomes between hip- and wrist-worn accelerometers worn simultaneously by children during an active video games intervention.Methods:As part of a larger randomized crossover trial, participants (n = 73, age 10 to 12 years) wore 2 Actical accelerometers simultaneously during waking hours for 7 days, on the hip and wrist. Measurements were repeated at 4 timepoints: 1) at baseline, 2) during traditional video games condition, 3) during active video games condition, 4) during no video games condition. Compliance and intervention effects were compared between hip and wrist.Results:There were no statistically significant differences at any timepoint in percentage compliance between hip (77% to 87%) and wrist (79% to 89%). Wrist-measured counts (difference of 64.3 counts per minute, 95% CI 4.4–124.3) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (12 min/day, 95% CI 0.3–23.7) were higher during the no video games condition compared with the traditional video games condition. There were no differences in hip-measured counts per minute or MVPA between conditions or sedentary time for hip or wrist.Conclusions:There were no differences in compliance between hip- and wrist-worn accelerometers during an intervention trial, however, intervention findings differed between hip and wrist.

ABSTRACT Objective: To summarize indicators and describe in detail the methods used to physical activity and sedentary behavior measurement in South American preschool children. Data source: In 2017, we searched for articles on researches carried out in South American countries, which presented physical activity and/or sedentary behavior indicators in children aged two to six years. These searches were conducted in Spanish, English, and Portuguese in four electronic databases (LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, and Web of Science), Google Scholar, and in reference lists. Data summary: Out of 416 articles initially assessed, 13 composed the descriptive summary. Samples from Argentina, Brazil, and Chile were included. Three articles provided accelerometer-based estimates of moderate physical activity: 32, 70.1, and 71.3 minutes per day. The mean total sedentary behavior was 468.3 and 562.9 minutes per day and, considering the cut-off point of 2 hours per day of screen time, we found the following prevalence rates: 39.4, 40.3, and 100%. The studies adopted a wide number of instruments and strategies to evaluate those behaviors. Conclusions: Although the summary has pointed to high exposure to sedentary behavior in preschool children, with particular focus on screen time, it is essential to broaden the discussion and approximate the methods used to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior, making the evidence more comparable and strong, so as to elaborate preventive strategies and actions.

AbstrakObesitas dan berat badan berlebih merupakan faktor predisposisi terhadap resistensi insulin yang dapat menyebabkan peningkatan kadar gula darah sehingga terjadi diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar gula darah pada dewasa muda yang diwakili oleh mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Andalas yang memiliki berat badan berlebih dan obesitas. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan rancangan cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Andalas Padang. Sampel penelitian diambil dari total populasi yakni sebanyak 25 orang yang  diperiksa kadar gula darah puasa, TTGO, IMT dan aktivitas fisik. Hasil penelitian ini menggambarkan telah terjadi peningkatan kadar gula darah puasa yakni GDPT sebanyak 32% dan diabetes sebanyak 28%. Pada gula darah TTGO terjadi peningkatan sebanyak 16% yakni TGT. Peningkatan kadar gula darah ini sangat berhubungan dengan aktivitas fisik, yakni 16% responden dengan aktivitas fisik ringan didapatkan interpretasi diabetes pada gula darah puasa sedangkan aktivitas berat hanya 8% dan sedang 4%. Begitu pula dengan kadar gula TTGO yakni sebanyak 8% mengalami TGT pada responden dengan aktivitas fisik ringan. Kesimpulannya sebagian besar sampel yang memiliki berat badan berlebih dan obesitas mengalami peningkatan kadar gula darah pada interpretasi TGT, GDPT dan Diabetes.Kata kunci: kadar gula darah, obesitas, berat badan berlebih, TTGO, TGT, diabetes AbstractObesity and overweight is a predisposing factor insulin resistance which causes an increase in blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to reveal the blood sugar levels of medical students in andalas university whom are overweight and obese. This  was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. This study was conducted in Medicine Faculty of Andalas University Padang. Samples from this study is the total sampling population of 25 people. The variables were fasting blood sugar, glucose tolerance, BMI and Physical Activity. This study illustrate  the increasing in fasting blood sugar level as prediabetes  32% and diabetes  28%. In the oral glucose tolerance, TGT was identified to cause an of blood sugar increased by 16%. Increased blood sugar levels was highly associated with physical activity, which is 16% of respondents with mild physical activity displayed an interpretation of diabetes from the fasting blood sugar, in strenuous activities 8% and moderate activity 4%. Similarly, the glucose tolerance as much as 8% had IGT in respondents with mild physical activity. The conclution of this study is the subjects with overweight and obesity have elevated level of blood sugar in interpretation of IGT, IFG, and diabetes.Keywords: blood glucose levels, obesity, overweight, IGT, IFG, diabetes
