“…TE Pre- terísticas de la intervención presentada en este estudio, podrían solucionar algunas de las problemáticas detectadas en programas o campañas anteriores: falta de seguimiento de los programas y participantes, errores de promoción, horarios incompatibles y ausencia de tiempo y motivación por parte de los participantes (Cerrillo Borja et al, 2019;Martínez-Sanz et al, 2018;Santamaría et al, 2019). De esta forma, los autores sugieren que la presente propuesta debería tenerse en cuenta en el camino hacia la consecución de los objetivos de las universidades públicas saludables.…”

La inactividad física y sedentarismo se encuentran presentes en un alto porcentaje de los estudiantes universitarios, hecho que se ha visto acentuado tras la crisis sanitaria vivida recientemente a causa de la COVID-19. El ejercicio físico como parte de los programas de las Universidades Saludables se presenta como una posible estrategia para afrontar esta problemática. El objetivo de este estudio piloto fue analizar los efectos de un programa de entrenamiento sobre el nivel de actividad física (AF), salud mental y composición corporal en estudiantes universitarios sedentarios. Se diseñó un estudio longitudinal de medidas repetidas. 14 estudiantes fueron evaluados en tres momentos temporales: al iniciar el programa de entrenamiento, tras su finalización y dos semanas tras la finalización del programa. Los diferentes instrumentos utilizados fueron los siguientes: Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (nivel de AF), cuestionario DASS-21 (nivel de estrés, depresión y ansiedad) y Cuestionario Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (calidad del sueño) cinta métrica corporal (perímetros) y bioimpedancia (peso, IMC, % masa grasa y % masa muscular). Tras cinco semanas de entrenamiento y dos semanas post-entrenamiento se observaron mejoras significativas en el nivel de AF, salud mental y calidad del sueño de los participantes (p < ,05). La masa muscular fue la única variable relacionada con la composición corporal que mejoró significativamente tras cinco semanas de ejercicio físico supervisado (p = ,04). Los resultados del presente estudio demostraron que las acciones de las universidades basadas en programas de entrenamiento saludables mejoran el nivel de AF, la salud mental y la composición corporal de los estudiantes universitarios. Abstract. University students frequently show high levels of physical inactivity as well as a sedentary lifestyle. This fact has been increased after the recent health crisis caused by the COVID-19. Physical exercise, as part of the programs of the Healthy Universities, could be a strategy to face this problem. The purpose of this pilot study was to analyze the effects of an exercise program on the level of physical activity, mental health, and body composition in sedentary university students. A longitudinal study with repeated measures was designed. 14 students were evaluated at three different moments: at the beginning of the exercise program, after program completion, and two weeks after the end of the program. The followings instruments were used: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (level of physical activity), DASS-21 questionnaire (level of stress, depression, and anxiety), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Questionnaire (quality of sleep), a body tape measure (perimeters), and a body composition monitor (weight, BMI, % fat mass and % muscle mass). After five weeks of intervention and two weeks post-intervention, the levels of physical activity, mental health and quality of sleep were improved (p < 0.05). Regarding body composition, muscle mass was the only variable that improved after five weeks of exercise program (p = 0.04). The results of the present study showed that the actions of universities based on healthy training programs improve the level of physical activity, mental health, and body composition of university students.

“…22 None reported socializing as a motive for maternal exercise, which is consistent with literature among other populations, both pregnant and non-pregnant. 26,39,40 Despite that, we found that women exercising together with others (family/partner, friends, colleagues, sports club, gym/aerobic, dog) were more likely to achieve the ACOG recommendations for exercise during pregnancy. Facilitators associated with following the present guidelines were “relaxation/recreation,” “prevention of health complaints,” “enjoyment,” and “prevention of weight gain during pregnancy.”…”

Objective: Current exercise guidelines recommend women to exercise throughout pregnancy, and the benefits are well documented. Still, there is an increasing decline of exercise levels during pregnancy and a high percentage of them are sedentary. It is well established that individual attitudes and perception of barriers may influence the ability to engage in sufficient amount of exercise. This has, however, not been examined in an Italian pregnant population. Hence, the aims of the present study were to increase knowledge of facilitators and barriers to regular exercise in Italian pregnant women and to report their social support in regard to maternal exercise. Methods: Healthy, pregnant women (n = 513) were allocated from Fatebenefratelli San Giovanni Calibita, a public hospital in Rome, and four antenatal clinics in Rome and Modena. The participants completed a validated self-administrated questionnaire, the Physical Activity Pregnancy Questionnaire, in gestational week 36. In line with current American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines (2020), participants were categorized as “regular exercisers” (⩾150 min/week) and “not regular exercisers” (< 150 min/week). Results: Only 4.6% of the women engaged in regular physical activity/exercise in the third trimester. “Insufficient time” (54%) were the only barrier negatively associated with exercise. The facilitators “relaxation/recreation” (18%), “prevention of health complaints” (15%), “enjoyment” (10%), and “prevention of gestational weight gain” (4%) were associated with achieving the recommendations of exercise. This study found no association between achieving the recommendations and childhood exercise/having social modeling, or exercising network/milieu (p = 0.294 and p = 0.123). Nevertheless, exercising together with others was a significant predictor for regular maternal exercise (p < 0.001). Most women did not receive any advice on exercise during pregnancy from their doctor or midwife (60.0 %). Yet, those who received such advice were significantly more likely to exercise regularly compared to those who did not (75.0% vs 38.2%; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Italian pregnant women mainly reported internal facilitators for their willingness to participate in regular maternal exercise, while barriers were primarily related to inconveniences (such as insufficient time and difficulty combining with work/studies). The study addresses the positive association between achieving the recommended amount of exercise and social support in terms of exercising with others and getting advice from health professions. Because women respect their doctor and have regular prenatal checkups, this health care setting can play a pivotal role in the initiation and maintenance of exercise behavior during pregnancy.

“…Participation in sport at other Spanish universities is often quite low, as is the case at Alicante (Cambronero et al, 2015) and the Galician universities, where many of the students are unaware of the facilities available (Alonso-Fernández and García-Soidán, 2010). At other universities, participation remains low even when the students consider the facilities to be of good quality (Castañeda and Campos-Mesa, 2012;Corbí et al, 2019). It is possible that our subjects were more demanding with regard to facilities since they were more involved and experienced in sport.…”

BackgroundIn their professional practice, teachers can exert a strong influence on students, promoting healthy habits for life through the example of their own lifestyle. The aim of this study was to compare sports habits and attitudes in Physical Activity and Sports Education students at the universities of León (Spain) and Mostaganem (Algeria).MethodsWe administered the “Motivations and Attitudes Toward Physical Activity and Sports” questionnaire (in Spanish MIAFD) to 125 Algerian university students from the Institute for Physical Education and Sport (age: 21.87 ± 2.51) and 122 Spanish university students (age: 22.98 ± 2.36) from the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Science.ResultsChi-square tests showed significant differences (p < 0.001) with a large effect size (Cramer’s V: 0.650) in perceptions of sport and satisfaction with participation.ConclusionThe students from Mostaganem and Leon show many similarities, such as the number of female students in physical education and sport is quite small compared to male students. Both consider that universities should improve sports facilities to promote good practice. The practice of sports by our university students is far superior to that of students with other degrees, suggesting that they will set a good example of healthy habits once they enter their profession. Nevertheless, the participation of female Algerian students in sport was lower than that of Spanish students, and students at León showed more intrinsic motivation for participating in sport than their counterparts at Mostaganem.
