“…It is the systematic daily monitoring of aerobic activity that has a positive effect on the functional and health-preserving development of the body (Polero et al, 2021). The need for high-quality monitoring of physical activity of students is emphasized by specialists, since there is a significant risk of error in assessing the volume of physical activity of student youth (Cholewa et al, 2020;.…”

Background: During the spread of COVID-19, the need for scientifically based methodological assistance to students when walking and running was most evident in order to improve optimal body functions and maintain health. The aim of the study was to develop a program for monitoring students' walking and running according to the system "10,000 steps a day" during the spread of COVID-19 and to prove its effectiveness through improving body mass index and improving physical health. Study participants: students regardless of gender (n = 114). Interventions: The pedagogical research was carried out for 4 months. During the experiment, the students of the experimental group (n = 71) carried out self-monitoring of aerobic physical activity, consisting of walking and running, using the author's program according to the principle of "10,000 steps per day" in daily, weekly and monthly cycles. The study used diagnostics of general physical health, the level of functional readiness to perform loads and body mass index. Main outcome measures. The effectiveness of the implementation of the author's program for monitoring aerobic physical activity of students is statistically significant at p < .01 and p < .05. The implementation of the author's model of independent walking and running is effective only under the condition of systematic fulfilment of aerobic physical loads. Findings. The obtained research data showed that during the period of the spread of COVID-19, an active lifestyle of students, including daily walking and running, is possible and effective for physical health and the prevention of overweight.

“…The literature highlights the complexity of the physical activity assessment process and the multi-faceted analysis of its level [17,30,31]. Such research should take to account many factors, including: age, gender, somatic parameters, and motives for physical activity.…”

“…Systematic and properly selected physical activity is one of the most recommended health-promoting behaviors for humans. Determining the physical activity level provides data for the development and improvement of theoretical models of behavior, which allow for the formulation of specific postulates on the promotion of physical activity [17][18][19].…”

“…In epidemiological studies, a diagnostic survey is a popular method of estimating the physical activity level, and questionnaires are the measurement tools [17]. One of the most used and recommended questionnaires is the IPAQ [20].…”

“…Globally standardized test procedures developed by the International IPAQ Committee allow for the widespread use of this tool, and the results obtained are comparable in various cases [21,22]. The benefit of monitoring physical activity is the feedback on the undertaken physical activity level, which, on the one hand, allows for interpretation in relation to the health-promoting recommendations of physical activity, and on the other hand, is a factor that motivates to do physical exercise [17]. However, that tool is not widely used in Belarus [23], hence there is a need to conduct further research with comparable results.…”

Numerous connections of physical activity with biological indicators and various diseases justify its place in the multifaceted theory of health, thus making it a health measure. The aim of the study was to learn about the physical activity declared by students at Belarusian universities -to determine its level and dominant areas. Material and methods. 739 people studying in Brest, Minsk, and Grodno (Belarus) were surveyed with the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).Results. The total physical activity of the surveyed students amounted to 4840.5 metabolic equivalent of task (MET) min/week (median), which proves their significant involvement in the broadly understood physical culture. The dominant area of their physical activity proved to be work-related effort (median=1700.6 MET-min/week), while the lowest activity of the respondents was related to sport and recreation. The surveyed men showed higher MET-min/week rates in total physical activity and its components compared with women except for housework. In each of the analyzed variables (gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), selfassessment of physical fitness, and declared amount of spare time), there were statistically significant differences in the physical activity level of the surveyed students. Conclusions. The surveyed men proved to be more active than women in all domains of physical activity except for housework. Respondents with a BMI indicating overweight were more active than those with a normal BMI or those who were underweight. High self-esteem and declaration of lacking spare time are associated with high values of the MET-min/week index.

ObjectiveIntention is the proximal antecedent of physical activity in many popular psychological models. Despite the utility of these models, the discrepancy between intention and actual behaviour, known as the intention-behaviour gap, is a central topic of current basic and applied research. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to quantify intention-behaviour profiles and the intention-behaviour gap.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesLiterature search was conducted in June 2022 and updated in February 2023 in five databases.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesEligible studies included a measure of physical activity, an assessment of physical activity intention and the employment of the intention-behaviour relationship into profile quadrants. Only papers published in the English language and in peer-reviewed journals were considered. Screening was assisted by the artificial intelligence tool ASReview.ResultsTwenty-five independent samples were selected from 22 articles including a total of N=29 600. Random-effects meta-analysis revealed that 26.0% of all participants were non-intenders not exceeding their intentions, 4.2% were non-intenders who exceeded their intentions, 33.0% were unsuccessful intenders and 38.7% were successful intenders. Based on the proportion of unsuccessful intenders to all intenders, the overall intention-behaviour gap was 47.6%.ConclusionThe findings underscore that intention is a necessary, yet insufficient antecedent of physical activity for many. Successful translation of a positive intention into behaviour is nearly at chance. Incorporating mechanisms to overcome the intention-behaviour gap are recommended for clinical practice.
