“…Since, getting well mentally prepared and also having good attention and sleep cycle are of utmost importance for achieving optimal athletic performance. So, assessing and monitoring the physical, physiological and psychological characteristics must be performed periodically (Pavlovic et al, 2018;Reza Sharif & Sayyah, 2018;Sayyah, Rahimi, Bigdeli, & Rajabi, 2011). Conclusively, our results demonstrate that aerobic exercises results in better attention and sleep, hence, it can be considered as a noninvasive and effective strategy to counteract cognitive impairment caused by stressful conditions in athletic events.…”

Low quality of sleep leading to cognitive problems is among key a reasons that declines the athlete performance especially due to stressful athletic events. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic Exercise on attention, and quality of sleep among professional volleyball players. 21 professional female volleyball players were selected through purposive sampling and divided randomly into two experimental (n=11; with mean age of 19.3 years old) and control group (n=10; with mean age of 19.6 years old). Subjects were measured for attention performance and quality of sleep using Vienna system test and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) respectively. The exercise protocol included an eight-week aerobic exercise, three times per week, and 60 minutes per session with 60%-70% of the maximum heart rate. The intensity of exercise protocol was monitored by Polar Electro. Dependent and Independent t-test were used to analyze the data. The results suggested that both attention tests (speed processing and selective attention) were improved significantly in posttest in experimental group compared to control group (p≤0.05). In addition, It was shown that, quality of sleep was significantly improved in experimental group (p=0.001; t=8.01). Although professional athletes often do athletic activities, the regular aerobic exercise would improve their psychomotor performance and quality of sleep. Hence, it can be considered as a noninvasive and effective strategy to counteract sleep loss consequences and attention deficits caused by stressful conditions in athletic events.

“…Therefore, rapid developments in the body limbs (arms and legs) called "growth spurts" are observed during adolescence (Akçan et al, 1999) and in addition, the fact that the height increase and growth rates are at the highest level (Lopes et al, 2018) suggested that the weights between the groups may be different. The extra body weight in childhood and adolescence is associated with life-long negative health outcomes (Pavlovic et al, 2018) and adolescents with high weight and body fat, regardless of gender, are also known to have lower motor performance (Barbosa et al, 2018). That was why, it could be said that the student with excessive body weight were disadvantaged in activities requiring body mass transport (Arnaoutis et al, 2018) and therefore, it could be said that the student with high body weight in this study were not active enough to be at the AG level, so they were at the PG level.…”

“…Because, participation in regular physical activity has many health benefits for adolescents (Beets et al, 2015) and young people are advised to exercise moderate to vigorous physical exercise every day for one hour (WHO, 2010a). Anthropometric properties are closely related to health development (Pavlovic et al, 2018) and the relationship between physical activity and body fat levels in adolescents is insufficient (Sevarsson et al, 2018). Some researchers have reported a relationship between increased levels of physical activity and low body fat levels (Must and Tybor, 2005) and however, some others have defended the opposite (Basterfield et al, 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between daily lifestyle and anthropometric parameters in secondary school boys, aged 10-12 years. The study included 128 male students in secondary school, healthy and voluntarily. Anthropometric and metabolic parameters of the participants were measured before the study. The daily step counts (STEP) were measured by SenseWear® Armband for 6-day without physical education classes. To determine whether the students had active or inactive daily lifestyle habits, STEP values were assigned to three different levels according to the classification of Craig et al. (2013): passive group (PG), normal group (NG), and active group (AG). One-way ANOVA, multiple comparison, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests were used. P<0.05 was considered significant in all tests. In multiple comparison tests, some anthropometric parameters and STEP averages were significant in favor of AG (p<0.05). There were moderate (r=-0.60) or high (r=0.81) linear relationships between STEP averages and mean values of the anthropometric features (p<0.01). It was concluded that the anthropometric parameters and daily step count of male secondary school students have a significant effect on daily lifestyle habits.

“…On the other hand, Divergent results have been reported on the effect of sleep loss on perceptual motor functions (Cain, Silva, Chang, Ronda, & Duffy, 2011). One reason for getting conflicting findings may be due to the different assessments (i.e., either subjective or objective tools) (Pavlovic et al, 2018;Reza Sharif & Sayyah, 2018); variable exercise protocols and different age groups of subjects. It must be noted that giving physical health feedback can be of good help for making the people aware of exercise necessity in improvement of health (Irandoust, Taheri, Neto, & Lotfi, 2017;Rodrigues-Rodrigues, Claudia Vieira Gomes, & Rodrigues Neto, 2018).…”

A growing literature supports the detrimental consequences of insomnia on cognitive, motor functioning and psychomotor performance such as motor and cognitive reaction time in aged populations. Thus, the purpose of the research was to investigate the effect of low intensity aerobic on perceptual motor functions in aged males with insomnia. 31 elderly males with insomnia were randomly assigned to either exercise (n=16) or control groups (n=15). Exercise group engaged in 30 min of aerobic exercise 3 times per week for 16 weeks with intensity of 40-50% of maximal heart rate. Perceptual motor functions and self-reported sleep quality were assessed at baseline and at 16 weeks by the Vienna System Test and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) respectively. Independent and dependent t-tests were used to analyze the data. It was suggested that both motor and cognitive reaction time were improved after exercise training (p=0.001), meanwhile no significant change was found in the control group (p≥0.05). Furthermore, quality of sleep was improved significantly in the exercise group (p=0.001). Although insomnia could result in perceptual motor functions in aged populations, the aerobic exercise would alleviate the deleterious effect of insomnia in decisive task among elderly. The result raises the possibility that doing the light aerobic exercise may be a key strategy for increasing the potentials of perceptual motor functions of aged population.
