This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Download or read book Youth Sport Participation Experiences from the Perspective of Hispanic/Latinx Parents and Their Children and Secondary School Athletic Trainers' Clinical Management Decisions on Low Socioeconomic Status Patients written by Mayrena Isamar Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many health benefits from organized sport are achieved primarily through physical activity. Children and adolescents who participate in organized sport have a higher level of physical activity later in life and lead healthier lives in their adulthood. Because physical activity in youth is often executed in an organized manner, organized sport's role in society has become increasingly important over the years, not just for the benefit of an individual but for public health. Despite the many benefits of organized sport, these benefits are not always accessible or equitable to all children and adolescents. These disparities in health, well-being, quality of life, and socioeconomic status (SES) inequities can be a cause of the SDOH. Athletic trainers are health care providers that are uniquely positioned in an optimal public health intersection and can provide direct care for their low SES patient population that is impacted by the SDOH. The primary purposes of this dissertation were to 1) further understanding of youth sport participation experiences from low socioeconomic status families to now of Hispanic/Latinx families, 2) quantify perceptions of clinical management decisions toward low SES student athletes in a group of medical providers and public health advocates, and 3) identify challenges and strategies to upholding a standard of care when providing care to low SES patient population in the secondary school setting. Study 1: 12 Hispanic/Latinx parents and their high school aged children participated in this study. Hispanic/Latinx families described expectations of time and money that were exacerbated by the current youth sport culture. These families met the current youth sport expectations by methods rooted in their culture. When expectations were not met, this led to a misalignment of cultures and resulted in a negative youth sport experience. Study 2: A total of 380 secondary school athletic trainers completed the quantitative aim of this study through a cross-sectional survey regarding their perceptions of the SDOH and SES related to providing patient care. 12 ATs participated in the qualitative aim of this study. ATs perceived health and health care as the most relevant determinant when providing care to low SES patients. When ATs further considered the SES of patients, they identified all SDOHs as barriers they were ill equipped to navigate as they delivered care and engaged in patient referral.

Those who lived in resource-deficient social and physical environments and with low individual income have been found to be at increased risk of physical inactivity. In Hong Kong there is virtually no research on the effect of SES on adolescent physical activity (PA). It is therefore important to explore the SES differentials in PA among Hong Kong adolescents and identify the mechanisms underlying such differentials. It is also important to examine the extent to which SES acts as a moderator and mediator of associations between various potential determinants of adolescent PA. Methods: A hundred eighty-one adolescents aged 12-18 were recruited in the study. This study applied an ecological framework to study the SES effects on adolescents' PA participation. Physical activity was measured both objectively using accelerometers and subjectively using self-reports. Individual, social and school environment factors were assessed by validated self-report measures. Neighborhood built environmental factors were assessed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data. Individual-level SES was based on parents' report of monthly household income, while area-level SES was based on census data on median household income of selected study neighborhoods. Generalized linear models with robust standard errors were used to assess associations of individual, social and environmental factors with adolescents' PA. They were also used to assess the moderating of SES and mediators of SES-PA relationships. Results: The results supported the hypothesis that individual, social and environmental factors would all contribute to the explanation of adolescents' PA. Moderation analyses showed that the PA level of adolescents living in low SES areas might have been negatively affected by the presence of steep streets in the neighborhood environment and the lack of sports facilities. These effects were not observed in adolescents living in high SES areas. In contrast, only adolescents living in high-SES areas showed positive associations of school-based social support and school PA-related environment with PA. Mediation analyses showed that SES differences in adolescents PA participation could be explained by social support from family and access to sports/recreational facilities in/around the school. Significance: The current findings would imply that environmental interventions at the neighborhood level might benefit low-SES groups of adolescents as they seem to be more influenced by aspects of the neighborhood environment. By contrast, high-SES adolescents might be more reactive to school-based environmental interventions. To narrow the SES gap in PA participation among Hong Kong adolescents, interventions should encourage low-SES families to provide more support to their children by widening the available range of opportunities for PA, encouraging their children to participate in PA, and acting as role models. The findings from this study also suggest that the provision of more PA facilities in/around school neighborhood in

Download or read book Relationships Among Physical Activity, Diet, and Obesity Measures During Adolescence written by Janne Holmberg Maier and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's high prevalence of obesity is a concern especially in youth. Physical activity and diet are both important factors associated with weight management, and current recommendations are to consume a diet low in saturated fat and high in fiber, fruit and vegetables and to participate in frequent and regular physical activity. Adherence to recommendations is low, a factor that is strongly correlated with development of obesity and associated chronic diseases such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease. While associations between diet and physical activity are well established, investigation of changes in their association during growth is lacking. This thesis uses five years of diet, physical activity, and anthropometric data from 2379 adolescent girls in the National Heart Lung and Blood Institutes, Growth and Health Study to explore associations among diet, physical activity, and obesity cross-sectionally and with age. Variables representing physical activity, diet quality, and obesity, as well as income, maturation stage, and other potential confounders, were evaluated pair-wise for correlation, and bivariate statistics were examined for longitudinal trends. For further evaluation of relationships between groups of variables we used a canonical correlation analysis. First, physical activity variables were grouped with confounders and examined in relationship to diet quality variables; next, we grouped physical activity, diet quality, and confounders and examined the relationship to obesity measures. We found a moderately increasing correlation between physical activity and diet with age and an age-related decrease in correlation of all health behaviors and confounding variables with obesity measures, indicating that obesity measures become less sensitive to behaviors and socioeconomic factors with age at the same time as health behaviors become more tightly linked. These results suggest that while health behaviors continue to interact during growth, and in fact become more intertwined, measures of obesity become more static and may be less responsive to potential interventions with increasing age. These findings should motivate intervention work to aim for youth as potential impact would be greater before health behaviors and obesity measures become "locked in" to the more static frame of adulthood.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this study is the physical activity and nutrition behaviors of adolescents of Mexican origin. There are studies comparing physical activity and nutrition habits by ethnicity that report that Latinos and African Americans fare worse in terms of physical activity levels and healthy eating compared to Caucasian and Asian peers. A common predictor of health behaviors is socioeconomic status (SES). This study looks at various environments and how they influence or constrain the individual health choices adolescents make. For example, it reviews studies about foods available in the schools adolescents attend and neighborhoods in which they live. After reviewing the literature, it was clear that more studies with ethnically homogeneous samples are needed to find subtle differences in health behaviors that go beyond SES. Chapters 3 and 4 are based on a sample of adolescents from Mexican descent from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Chapter 3 is about the adolescents' physical activity behaviors while chapter 4 is about their nutrition behaviors. Both studies analyze the influence of acculturation on these health behaviors. These studies analyze whether findings differ for males and females. Both studies include SES, parent's marital status, and frequency of hanging out with friends as control variables.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that socioeconomic status (SES) can impact adolescent use of alcohol and smoking. These relationships may be mediated by stress, psychosocial reserves, and negative emotions. I explored these relationships using the Reserve Capacity Model (RCM) as a theoretical foundation. The RCM suggests that individuals of low social status experience stress and must tap into tangible, intrapersonal, and interpersonal resources, often leaving these reserves depleted. Low reserves, in turn, predict the experience of negative emotions which can result in poor health outcomes. The RCM was later revised to integrate cultural constructs that can serve as stressors and resources (e.g., familism, which prioritizes the role of the family as a supportive network). The purpose of this study was to test the RCM using culturally relevant variables as mediators of relationships between SES, alcohol use, and smoking in a sample of Hispanic American adolescents. I predicted that low SES would positively predict stress (e.g., perceived discrimination and acculturative stress). Stress, then, would be negatively related to reserve capacity (i.e., familism, family cohesion, and fatalism), which, in turn, would negatively predict symptoms of depression. Then, depressive symptoms would be positively related to alcohol use and smoking. A sample of 1,386 Hispanic American adolescents completed self-report measures of these constructs across three school years. Counter to my hypotheses, baseline SES was unrelated to smoking and alcohol use at year three (controlling for baseline levels). Mediation hypotheses were partially supported. Results showed baseline SES predicted increased levels of perceived discrimination at year two, which, in turn, was significantly related to decreased familism and family cohesion also at year two. Family cohesion was significantly related to symptoms of depression at year two, which, in turn, predicted increased use of alcohol and smoking behaviors at year three. Findings suggest that low SES is associated with perceived discrimination, which negatively affects family functioning. In turn, challenges in the family seem to affect distress symptoms, which, in turn, predict alcohol use and smoking. Results imply that interventions designed to address adolescent perceptions of discrimination, or family cohesion, may positively impact rates of smoking and alcohol use among adolescents.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Saudi Arabia, during the last two decades, the rates of obesity among adolescents have remarkably gone up due to the rapid increase in wealth and economic growth, which led to adopting a Western diet and reducing physical activity. The rise of obesity has widened the risk for several chronic diseases and poses a big challenge to the Ministry of Health in the country. However, Saudi females are at high risk to be more obese due to some religious and cultural restrictions, which limit participating in physical activity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of physical activity to controlling weight, with consideration of the influence of socioeconomic status of girls. A total of 517 girls aged 14-19 years from the Riyadh region were surveyed in 2011 by Alqahtani, Scott, Alshahrani, and Ullah, (2014). Data about weight, physical activity, and socioeconomic status were analyzed. The overall prevalence of overweight or obesity was 49.3% (29.0% overweight and 20.3% obese). Physical activity was found influenced by family income, having a house driver, and parental education level. Participants from higher socioeconomic status were more likely to be overweight or obese and physically less active than participants from low socioeconomic. Logistic regression analysis showed that overweight or obesity was significantly associated with physical activity, family income, and having a house driver. These findings indicate there is an urgent need for implementing physical activity in girl public schools to improve girls' health and reduce the prevalence of obesity.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Objective: To assess the impact of a healthy choices and activities intervention program utilizing goal coaches to guide adolescents as positive change agents for Latino parental/caregiver family food decisions Study Design, Setting, and Participants: Research design included two phases: (1) a developmental phase with youth and goal-coach curriculum development and testing, and (2) an implementation phase with a 6-week healthy choices and physical activities intervention pilot program. Participants in the developmental and pilot phase of the study include both children (10-14 years) and their Spanish speaking primary caretakers who attend a church youth group program in central North Carolina. Goal coaches include youth mentors between the ages of 18 to 24, recruited from a local college in central North Carolina. Outcome, Measures and Analysis: 1) Content analysis of focus groups with youth and goal coaches were conducted to determine ease of use and compliance with study methodology, including photo journaling and family goal setting, as well as message appropriateness for youth and goal coaches. 2) During implementation and one month follow up the following were assessed: pre/post testing of parent/caregiver food behaviors, fruit and vegetable intake, and physical activity behaviors; youth nutrition, physical activity habits and BMI; and adherence to established family goals. Results: 21 youth and 5 goal coaches were recruited to participate. All materials were developed utilizing constructs from the Social Cognitive Theory, and translated. 1) During the focus groups, goal coaches reported that they learned from the youth that parents are a barrier to influencing healthy family behaviors. Youth also reported that they were non-compliant with the use of the photo journal. 2) Youth were able to successfully set family-based nutrition and physical activity goals with 82% family compliance overall. Parents reported increased physical activity and healthy food behaviors pre- and post-intervention, including increased nutrient-dense food purchasing one-month post-intervention. One-month follow-up surveys reported an increase in healthy nutrition and physical activities in homes. Conclusions and Implications: This innovative approach is a promising strategy for reducing the adverse health effects associated with dietary acculturation among Latino families. It builds upon the inherent value of familism as well as the strengths of adolescents as carriers of nutrition and health information. Future research is needed to expand upon these strategies to better tailor nutrition education messaging for Latino immigrant families."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships among societal norms, exercise self-efficacy and activity related affect on commitment to a plan of physical activity in a sample of low-income Hispanic women and their daughters. Theoretical propositions derived from the Health Promotion Model (Pender, 2011) were tested. The first hypothesis, which stated there would be a significant relationship between societal norms and commitment, was partially supported. The second hypothesis, which stated there would be a significant relationship between exercise self-efficacy and commitment, was partially supported. The third hypothesis, which stated there would be a significant relationship between related affect and commitment to a plan of physical activity, was partially supported. The fourth hypothesis, which stated there would be significant relationship between commitment to a plan of physical activity and participation in physical activity, was partially supported. The fifth hypothesis, which stated there would be a significant relationship between societal norms, self-efficacy, activity related affect and commitment to a plan of physical activity of mothers will be significant predictors of physical activity levels of the daughters, was partially supported. The sixth hypothesis, which stated there would be a significant differences in societal norms, exercise self-efficacy, activity related affect and commitment to exercise between Hispanic women and their daughters was partially supported. Evidence in support of these hypotheses was found among daughters, in relation societal norms and exercise self efficacy, but not mothers. Data was collected at area Hispanic churches. (N= 79) Hispanic mothers and (N= 79) Hispanic daughters. A correlational designed was used. Kendall's tau_b was used to assess differences between means of mothers and daughters. Actigraph® were used in this study for quantitative measurements, which demonstrated low levels of physical activities among mothers and daughters, with both mothers and daughters being in sedentary activity (71%) while they wore the actigraph. Multiple regression did not reveal significant relationships between societal norms, exercise self-efficacy and physical activity enjoyment on a commitment to physical activity with the mothers, and the R2 = .04 which explains only 4% of the variance for mothers' commitment for physical activity. Multiple regression did however real a relationship between the daughters' independent variables, societal norms, [beta] = .28, p = .01; and exercise self-efficacy, [beta] = .25, p = .02. The total R2 = .213 which explains 21% of the variance for the daughters' commitment for PA, which is not a strong predictor for commitment of physical activity. Limitations of this study was the language barrier, limited access to Actigraph® and seasonal winter months may have reduced physical activity. Further research is needed with the Hispanic population especially with the key predictor variable of being physically active, exercise self-efficacy. Implication for nurses include education for why and how to be physically active, and to provide physically activity programs that are culturally specific for this population that would provide enjoyment and therefore a commitment to physical activity.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine and compare obesity levels and related physical activity factors among first, second, and third generation Latino/Hispanic adolescents. This study employed secondary data analyses using the 2007 California Health Interview Survey adolescent public use data file. There were 3,638 adolescent survey participants, of which 1,227 self reported as identifying themselves as Latino/Hispanic. Chi-square and t-statistic analysis results yielded several findings of significant associations between generation status and language spoken at home with obesity and physical activity levels. Test results showed that there were significant differences in prevalence of obesity and mean Body Mass Index (BMI) between each generation. Most notable, was the decrease in obesity prevalence and mean BMI from the first and second generation to the third generation. Furthermore, test results showed significant increases in physical activity levels with each successive generation. Findings demonstrate the importance of physical activity in preventing obesity. More importantly, findings demonstrate the need for programs that provide organized sports and safe parks in promoting physical activity and preventing obesity among Latino/Hispanic adolescents.
