“…This information corroborates the behavior of children observed in the current study, by applying the IPAQ, where 50% of the NAG did not perform any physical activity, excluding escolar physical education. 10,22,23 These data draw attention, since, according to Cao et al (2011), a low level of physical activity combined with too much time watching television contribute to anxiety, depression and unsatisfactory school life. 24 The responsibility of that physical inactivity is due to technological advent, which possibly makes the man of the future an obese subject 23 .…”

The improvement of physical ability and functional performance of children are acquisitions of physical activity, but studies about the impact of sports on functional capacity and respiratory muscles in children are still scarce. Objective: to assess the respiratory muscle strength, the functional and physical activity levels of athletes children when compared with no athletes children, both in the same age group. Methods: the study involved 20 children from schools (non-athletes group, NAGN n = 10), and sports training centers (athletes group, AG n = 10) from Florianópolis-SC/Brazil, aged between 7 and 10 years. We used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and evaluated the respiratory muscle strength (RMS) with a manuvacuometer (MVD-300, Microhard). The functional capacity was evaluated with the six minute walking test (6MWT).Results: respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity did not differ between groups. Differences were found in heart rate in the third minute, between the first and second 6MWT in both groups -GA: 91.20 ± 7.57 and 129.20 ± 33.81 (p = 0.005) and NAG: 96,10±1,45 e 122,00 ± 22,62 (p = 0,008). Dyspnea scale was different between two groups on the beginning of second 6MWT, bigger in NAG group (0.6 ± 0.65 x 0.10 ± 0.31, p = 0.029). Characteristics of physical activity, assessed by IPAQ were different between groups. Conclusion: the athletes and non-athletes children presented similar respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity. A bigger sample is relevant to accomplish new outcomes.

Examining Screen Time, Screen Use Experiences, and Well-Being in Adults

Screen technologies have been found to have adverse outcomes on people's well-being and mental health if used excessively however findings have varied depending on the screen type being assessed. The impact of prolonged TVwatching on mental health has been well established, whereas the influence of computers, the internet, and mobile phones is still being debated. Research exploring total screen use in adults is surprisingly lacking. The current study examined the relationship between Screen Time and well-being in adults, including positive relationships, meaning, and loneliness. The study is possibly the first to investigate how much pleasure and meaning people feel during screen use and their mediating effects. Using a correlational study design, participants (N = 139) reported their hours spent on all screen devices per day, how much pleasure and meaning they experience during screen use on average, and their general well-being levels. Screen Time was not found to be significantly correlated with well-being; and screen use experiences did not mediate any of the screen time and well-being relationships. However, screen use meaning was positively associated with overall well-being and positive relationships. This finding prompts a review of the importance of screen time for well-being, suggesting that this may be a limited approach. Other factors related to screen quality may be equal if not more important for well-being. Limitations and implications for maintaining or enhancing well-being while using screen devices are discussed.

“…Research demonstrates that increased PA is associated with better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of mental disorders [7]. Moreover, studies also report that PA is inversely associated with anxiety symptoms, especially among the University student population [8].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the potential moderating effects of anxiety symptomology on the association between constructs from the transtheoretical model (TTM) and physical activity (PA). Methods: Data were collected from 200 University students from October 2015 to June 2016. To assess TTM constructs, a validated TTM survey was utilized. PA was assessed via the validated international PA questionnaire. Anxiety was assessed utilizing the 5-item overall anxiety severity and impairment scale questionnaire. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between TTM constructs and PA. Interaction analyses were computed to see if there was an interaction effect of TTM constructs and anxiety on PA. Results: The only TTM construct associated with meeting moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) guidelines was behavioral processes of change (odds ratio = 1.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.07-1.21; P < 0.05). Further, there was no interaction effect of anxiety and any of the TTM constructs on MVPA (all P > 0.05). Conclusion: TTM seems to have some utility of promoting MVPA among University students and does not appear to be a function of anxiety levels.KEY WORDS: Anxiety, behavioral processes of change, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, transtheoretical model Joyner and Loprinzi: Exercise, TTM, and anxiety
