          Abstract

          Abstract This study aims to analyse the effects of indoor physical training program on the enjoyment and the willingness to participate in sports activities, physical self-concept and the quality of life in children with asthma. Participants were randomized in an experimental group (EG) (n=58, age=11.55±1.01 years old) and, a control group (CG) (n = 47, age=11.51±1.42 years old). An indoor training program was executed for 12-week, with each week containing three sessions of 60 minutes. Enjoyment in physical activity questionnaire, participation in physical activities, physical self-concept questionnaire, 6 minute walking test, and paediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire were employed. After the intervention, EG showed a significant reduction in the body mass index as well as a significant improvement in physical fitness test and the score obtained in questionnaires compared to the CG. A12-week indoor training program targeted towards asthmatic children improved the sport enjoyment, physical activity participation, physical self-concept, and quality of life.

          Resumen El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el efecto de un programa de entrenamiento indoor en el disfrute e intención de participar en actividades deportivas, autoconcepto físico y calidad de vida en niños con asma. Participantes fueron randomizados en grupo experimental (GE) (n=58, edad= 11,55 ± 1,01 años), y grupo control (GC) (n=47, edad=11,51 ± 1,42 años). Se llevó a cabo un programa de entrenamiento indoor de 12-semanas, con 3 sesiones semanales de 60-minutos. El cuestionario de disfrute en actividades físicas, participación en actividades físicas, autoconcepto físico, 6-minute walking test y cuestionario de calidad de vida de asma pediátrico fueron empleados. A diferencia del GC, para el GE el programa de entrenamiento provocó una reducción en IMC, además de una mejora en las puntuaciones obtenidas en el test de condición física y la puntuación de los cuestionarios cumplimentados. Un programa de entrenamiento indoor de 12-semanas mejoró el disfrute de la actividad física, la participación en actividades físicas, el auto-concepto físico y calidad de vida en niños con asma.

          Resumo O objetivo estudo foi analisar o efeito de um programa de treinamento indoor no prazer e na intenção de prática de esportes, no autoconceito físico e na qualidade de vida em crianças com asma. Participantes foram divididos aleatoriamente em grupo experimental (GE) (n=58, idade = 11,55 ± 1,01 anos), e grupo de controle (GC) (n=47, idade=11,51 ± 1,42 anos). Foi ministrado um programa de treinamento indoor de 12-semanas, com 3 sessões semanais de 60-minutos de duração. Foram utilizados os questionários autoconceito físico, 6-Minutes Walk Test (6MWT) e questionário de qualidade de vida de asma pediátrico. O programa de treinamento GE reduziu o IMC, além de melhorar as pontuações nos vários testes e questionários preenchidos, contrário do GC. O programa de treinamento indoor de 12-semanas aumentou o prazer da prática da atividade física, a participação da atividade física, o autoconceito físico e a qualidade de vida em crianças com asma.

          Health-enhancing physical activity and sedentary behaviour in children and adolescents.

          We provide a wide-ranging review of health-related physical activity in children and adolescents using a behavioural epidemiology framework. In contrast to many other reviews, we highlight issues associated with true sedentary behaviours alongside physically active behaviours. Specifically, we review the evidence concerning the links between physical activity and cardiovascular disease, overweight and obesity, psychosocial measures, type II diabetes, and skeletal health. Although the evidence is unconvincing at times, several factors lead to the conclusion that promoting physical activity in youth is desirable. A review of the prevalence of physical activity and sedentary behaviours shows that many young people are active, but this declines with age. A substantial number are not adequately active for health benefits and current trends in juvenile obesity are a cause for concern. Prevalence data on sedentary behaviours are less extensive but suggest that total media use by young people has not changed greatly in recent years. Most children and adolescents do not exceed recommended daily hours of TV viewing. Physical activity is unrelated to TV viewing. We also identified the key determinants of physical activity in this age group, highlighting demographic, biological, psychological, behavioural, social and environmental determinants. Interventions were considered for school, family and community environments. Finally, policy recommendations are offered for the education, governmental, sport and recreation, health, and mass media sectors.

            Six-minute walk test in children and adolescents.

            To evaluate the 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) for healthy Caucasian children and adolescents of a population-based sample from the age of 3 to 18 years. Two hundred and eighty boys and 248 girls completed a modified test, using a measuring wheel as incentive device. Median 6MWD increased from the age of 3 to 11 years in boys and girls alike and increased further with increasing age in boys (from 667.3 m to 727.6 m), whereas it essentially plateaued in girls (655.8 m to 660.9 m). After adjusting for age, height (P = .001 in boys and P < .001 in girls) remained independently correlated with the 6MWD. In the best fitting and most efficient linear and quadratic regression models, the variables age and height explained about 49% of the variability of the 6MWD in boys and 50% in girls. This modified 6-minute walk test (6MWT) proved to be safe, easy to perform, and highly acceptable to children. It provides a simple and inexpensive means to measure functional exercise capacity in children, even of young age, and might be of value when conducting comparable studies.

              Measuring enjoyment of physical activity in adolescent girls.

              Enjoyment has been implicated as a determinant of physical activity among youth, but advances in understanding its importance have been limited by the use of measures that were not adequately validated. The present study examined: (1) the factorial validity of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES), and (2) the construct validity of PACES scores. Adolescent girls (N=1797), who were randomly assigned to calibration (n=899) and cross-validation (n=898) samples, completed the PACES and measures of factors influencing enjoyment of physical education, physical activity, and sport involvement. The factorial validity of the PACES and the measure of factors influencing enjoyment of physical education was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The hypothesized relationships among the measures were tested using structural equation modeling. Unidimensional models fit the PACES and the measure of factors influencing enjoyment of physical education in the calibration and cross-validation samples. The hypothesized relationships between the PACES and the measures of factors influencing enjoyment of physical education, physical activity, and sport involvement were supported in the entire sample, were similar in African-American and Caucasian girls, and were independent of physical fitness. Evidence of factorial validity and convergent evidence for construct validity indicate that the PACES is a valid measure of physical activity enjoyment among adolescent girls, suitable for use as a mediator variable in interventions designed to increase physical activity.
