Increasing physical activity and reduction of sedentary behaviour play important roles in health promotion and prevention of lifestyle-related diseases in children and adolescents. However, the question of how much physical activity is useful for which target group is still a matter of debate. International guidelines (World Health Organization; European Association for the Study of Obesity), which are mainly based on expert opinions, recommend 60 min of physical activity every day. Age- and sex-specific features and regional differences are not taken into account. Therefore, expert consensus recommendations for promoting physical activity of children and adolescents in Germany were developed with special respect to national data, but also with respect to aspects of specific target groups, e.g., children with a lower socio-economic status (SES) or with migration background. They propose 90 min/day of physical activity, or at least 12,000 steps daily. Additionally, lifestyle factors, especially restriction of media consumption, were integrated. The recommendations provide orientation for parents and caregivers, for institutions such as schools and kindergartens as well as for communities and stakeholders.

The Influence of Exercise Modality on Training Load Management.

Authors:
Øyvind Sandbakk Thomas Haugen Gertjan Ettema

Int J Sports Physiol Perform 2021 Feb 27:1-4. Epub 2021 Feb 27.

Purpose: To provide novel insight regarding the influence of exercise modality on training load management by (1) providing a theoretical framework for the impact of physiological and biomechanical mechanisms associated with different exercise modalities on training load management in endurance exercise and (2) comparing effort-matched low-intensity training sessions performed by top-level athletes in endurance sports with similar energy demands. Practical Applications and Conclusions: The ability to perform endurance training with manageable muscular loads and low injury risks in different exercise modalities is influenced both by mechanical factors and by muscular state and coordination, which interrelate in optimizing power production while reducing friction and/or drag. Consequently, the choice of exercise modality in endurance training influences effort beyond commonly used external and internal load measurements and should be considered alongside duration, frequency, and intensity when managing training load.

Physiological and Mechanical Indices Serving the New Cross-Country Olympic Mountain Bike Performance.

Authors:
Arnaud Hays Caroline Nicol Denis Bertin Romain Hardouin Jeanick Brisswalter

Int J Sports Physiol Perform 2021 Feb 27:1-6. Epub 2021 Feb 27.

Objectives: To identify relevant physiological, mechanical, and strength indices to improve the evaluation of elite mountain bike riders competing in the current Cross-Country Olympic (XCO) format.

Methods: Considering the evolution of the XCO race format over the last decade, the present testing protocol adopted a battery of complementary laboratory cycling tests: a maximal aerobic consumption, a force-velocity test, and a multi-short-sprint test. A group of 33 elite-level XCO riders completed the entire testing protocol and at least 5 international competitions. Read More

Geriatr Nurs 2021 Feb 24;42(2):405-411. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

School of Nursing, Jilin University, 965 Xinjiang Street, Changchun, Jilin 130021, China. Electronic address:

To explore the experiences of older adults with mild cognitive impairment participating in a Chinese square dancing program, we conducted a qualitative study through individual semistructured interviews between September 2019 and November 2019 in the nursing home where the program was implemented. Purposive sampling was used to select participants from those completing the dancing program. The sample size was determined by data saturation. Read More

Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology, Tokyo, Japan. Electronic address:

Purpose: Deterioration of daily activities increases frailty risk. Most of the previous research has examined the association between frailty and specific activities; nevertheless, the diversity of daily activities is also important. Although the type, frequency, and evenness of daily activities have been proposed as indicators of activity diversity, the association between these indicators and frailty remains unclear. Read More
