“…However, with the scientific and technological progress, physical health in adults was reported to become worse, which may be attributed to their sedentary lifestyles through spending a great amount of time on the digital devices [3] [4] [5] [6]. For example, a long-term sedentary lifestyle was associated with degeneration of trunk flexibility [7] [8] [9] and balance [8] [9] [10]. Individuals with weak trunk flexibility and balance are significantly restricted to perform voluntary movements (e.g.…”

Background: Taichi softball was voted as one of the most popular healthpromoting exercises in the category of ball games, which is attributed to that Taichi softball is not only beneficial for lower extremity-related physical health (e.g., balance, leg strength, and flexibility), but can also develop manipulative skill and hand-eye coordination (eating, bathing, dressing, bathing required manipulative skills, grips movement and strength). However, the positive effects of Taichi softball on physical health have rarely been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of Taichi softball on physical health. Methods: Five electronic databases were used to conduct literature searches. Two review authors independently extracted data in a standardized manner. The methodological quality of studies included was independently evaluated according to the Cochrane Collaboration's for Assessing Risk of Bias from the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Review Interventions. The standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using more conservative random effects model were calculated. Results: The sample size of 411 participants ranged from 32 to 150 in the RCTs, along with a wide age range from 18 to 75. The length of Taichi softball intervention periods in the eligible studies ranged from 12 weeks to 12 months. The participants in the studies consisted of healthy college students, patients with Type 2 diabetes, and older adults from community centers. Six randomized controlled trials were used for the meta-analysis. The aggregated results are in favor of Taichi softball on improving physical health in participants with healthy status and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The improvement on the primary components of the physical health consisted of handgrip strength 16(SMD, −0.6, 95% CI −0.84 to 0.36, p < 0.00001), trunk flexibility (SMD, −0.4, 95% CI −0.74 to −0.05, p = 0.03), static (SMD, −0.73, 95% CI −0.94 to −0.51, p < 0.00001) and dynamic balance (SMD, −0.68, 95% CI −1.2 to −0.17, p = 0.009). Conclusions: Taichi softball appears to be beneficial for improving physical health (hand strength, physical balance, flexibility, aerobic endurance, resting heart rate, diastolic and systolic pressures) among healthy adults and patients with Type 2 Diabetes. However, because of the low methodological quality of assessment, ill-designed experimental designs, and small study size, a definite conclusion of Taichi softball improving physical health can be confirmed along with high-quality studies with long follow-up.

Most research with indigenous people focuses on growth and nutritional problems, such as low height 3-6. The data reveal frequencies of short stature exceeding 40% in indigenous children between 0 and 9/10 years of age, as reported in studies conducted among indigenous people in Brazil published since 1990 7. The health situation of many indigenous people in Brazil is due largely to a combination of a lack of areas for production, a rapid increase in the population and drastic socioeconomic and cultural changes, with the loss of original economic alternatives and the introduction of new alimentary standards 7 , in addition to infectious and contagious alimentary diseases in children 8 , characterized

“…Em estudo de Karppanen et al (2012), os resultados indicaram semelhança entre os níveis de flexibilidade em crianças com peso normal em comparação aquelas com sobrepeso, tanto entre os meninos (21,7±4,5 vs 23,6±6,3cm, respectivamente), como entre as meninas (22,0±4,5 vs 24,3±5,7cm, respectivamente). Em relação aos níveis de atividade física, tanto o sedentarismo como o perfil nutricional parecem influenciar na flexibilidade de escolares (GRACIOSA et al, 2013). No estudo Graciosa et al (2013) foram avaliadas 60 crianças, divididas em dois grupos conforme os níveis de flexibilidade: normal (n=21) e reduzida (n=39), indicando que tanto os participantes ativos como sedentários, apresentaram semelhantes valores de flexibilidade, bem como, não foram encontradas diferenças entre as crianças com peso normal e aquelas com sobrepeso.…”

Assim, as evidências indicam que nem o peso excessivo, nem o sedentarismo, prejudicam na flexibilidade de crianças nesta faixa etária, o que segundo alguns autores, tornaria a flexibilidade um fator sem associação com as atividades físicas realizadas pelas crianças (GUEDES et al, 2002).…”

A finalidade deste estudo foi verificar a influência do índice de massa corporal e dos níveis de atividade física no desenvolvimento motor e aptidão física de jovens. Participaram 64 jovens com idade entre 9 e 10 anos de ambos os sexos, sendo avaliados: níveis de atividade física, estado nutricional, aptidão física (força, flexibilidade e resistência) e desenvolvimento motor. A amostra foi dividida em quatro grupos, estratificados pelo nível de atividade física e estado nutricional. Os dados foram comparados por meio do teste de Kruskal-Wallis (p0,05). Resultados: 34,4% dos jovens apresentavam peso acima e 50% eram sedentários. O peso acima influenciou na resistência e na habilidade de controle de objetos, sendo que o nível de atividade física diminui o impacto da obesidade na força e na habilidade de locomoção. A flexibilidade não foi influenciada. Conclusão: atividade física e estado nutricional podem influenciar na aptidão física e no desenvolvimento motor de jovens.
