“…In this investigation, Tanner stages were employed as markers to assess the maturational development of each study participant. Tanner stages are widely recognized as indicators of maturation levels in the child and adolescent population, providing valuable information for determining the optimal age ranges (Ghaly et al, 2008).…”

This study aimed to examine the impact of sexual maturation on the anaerobic performance of male adolescent wrestlers. Methods: We included a sample of 29 freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers from various clubs in Barinas, Venezuela. Their physical characteristics were as follows (mean ± SD): age, 14.99 ± 1.83 years; body mass, 54.68 ± 16.80 kg; height, 161.06 ± 12.78 cm; body fat, 12.09 ± 4.11%; body mass index (BMI), 20.58 ± 3.79 kg/m2; and training experience, 3.66 ± 2.27 years. Sexual maturation was evaluated using Tanner's criteria, while anaerobic performance was assessed with the 30-second Wingate test for both lower and upper body. Results: There were moderate to strong significant correlations between maturation development and both peak power (PP) and average power (AP) — for both absolute and relative measures — for the lower and upper body. The fatigue index (%FI) for the lower body did not show any correlation with maturation development or with the pubescent and postpubescent maturation categories. Conversely, the %FI for the upper body demonstrated a significant moderate correlation with maturation development and with the postpubescent maturation category. Additionally, a strong significant correlation was observed between the pubescent maturation category and both PP and AP (absolute and relative) for the lower body. A moderate correlation was found between the postpubescent category and PP (absolute) for the upper body. PP (absolute) and AP (relative) for the upper body had a moderate correlation with the pubescent maturation category, while the postpubescent category showed a strong correlation with PP (absolute), AP (absolute), and AP (relative). Conclusion: The stages of sexual maturation significantly influence the anaerobic capacity of adolescent wrestlers, potentially affecting their training adaptations for peak performance. Future research should explore the physiological responses to training protocols tailored to specific stages of maturation.

“…West Africa and regions with civil unrest have rates below 5%, while Egypt has the highest rate at 63%. (Boerma et al, 2018;Wahdan et al, 2022). Nationally, Kenya's cesarean rate is increasing from 7.6% to 9.5%, with variations across all 47 counties.…”

Purpose: To examine the effects of different types of TV childbearing shows on mode of delivery preferences among primiparous women in Nairobi, Kenya. Methodology: The study utilized a sequential mixed-methods approach, which involved 300 purposefully selected primiparous women from eleven sub-counties in Nairobi during routine child immunization schedules. Among the participants, 150 had vaginal deliveries, while the remaining underwent elective caesarean deliveries. Data collection was carried out through interviewer-administered questionnaires, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews. Quantitative analysis involved the use of mean-weight scores, Chi-square tests, and Cramer's V using SPSS. Thematic analysis was conducted for qualitative data to comprehensively understand the research topic. The findings were presented through both numerical analysis and narrative exploration. Findings: Respondents who had elective caesarean deliveries scored higher in locating childbirth lessons and interest in viewing childbirth scenes. Vaginal delivery scored higher for observing long-term childbirth messages, with similar scores for reasons of watching TV childbirth shows. Talk shows were the most effective for childbirth learning (φc = 0.52), with a small effect size for interest in viewing. Additionally, choosing mode of delivery as a repeated long-term message and having an idea of maternity as a reason for viewing had moderate size effects. The null hypothesis was rejected due to a significant correlation, with the ANOVA model explaining 87.9% of the variability. Locating lessons increased odds by 21.9%, repeated messages by 1.2%, and reasons for viewing by 3.3%, while interest in viewing childbirth scenes was not significant in the logistic regression. Qualitative analysis confirmed the rising prevalence of childbirth shows on mainstream TV. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study highlights how TV childbirth shows shape expectations and guide decisions regarding mode of delivery, contributing to media effect theories. In practice, healthcare workers need to actively engage with the content to address fears, concerns, and misconceptions influenced by these shows. Collaboration with content producers is crucial for authentic portrayals. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of media literacy programs and evidence-based guidelines to enhance informed decision-making.

The growing trend of cesarean section (SC) operations has drawn international attention. Understanding the risks and benefits of SC surgery will enable health workers to provide the right advice to facilitate patients and their families in the preparation for and care following SC. The program's collaboration partner is the Salimah in Banyumas Regency. The goal is for the community, particularly expectant mothers and mothers, to understand what can and cannot be done before and after SC delivery, as well as what is excluded or prohibited. The program method uses live on-air interactive discussion lectures at PRO 1 RRI Purwokerto with participants, namely radio listeners in the Banyumas area, with the main target being expectant mothers and pregnant women. The program activities are carried out on Thursday, March 2, 2023. Providing education via radio according to a predetermined schedule with the stages of the first session opening by the host and introduction of the speakers, the second session of material presentation, and the third session of question and answer or discussion with listeners, which is closed with a conclusion by the host. The conclusion of this program activity is the increased knowledge of the general public among those who listen to Pro 1 RRI Purwokerto in terms of women's health related to SC deliveries as well as myths and facts about childbirth. As seen from the variety of questions asked, listeners show enthusiasm for asking questions. It is recommended that health education programs through radio be sustainable.
