In this thesis, I designed and built EProf, a system that profiles the energy use of a Compaq iPAQ. Energy profilers help determine what parts of code are most energy-intensive so that programmers can concentrate on software hotspots. EProf uses statistical sampling to measure an iPAQ's energy use under a variety of working conditions. The EProf infrastructure is a foundation for further work on portable, online energy profiling.

Full textA associação entre a prática de atividade física e um melhor padrão de saúde tem sido relatada na literatura. A prática de exercício físico de forma regular influencia a qualidade de vida da pessoa. Por isso, conhecer o padrão de atividade física constitui o primeiro passo para a definição de qualquer programa de saúde. A importância da atividade física como um recurso para prevenir e controlar as doenças que não são de declaração obrigatória (ex. diabetes, doenças cardiovasculares, etc.) assim como para a definição de programas, politicas e guidelines tem vindo a ser assumido pelas entidades nacionais (DGS) e internacionais (OMS).Todavia, a evidência sobre o padrão de atividade física da população portuguesa é escassa. Por conseguinte, enveredou-se por uma investigação que toma como objeto de estudo a caracterização da atividade física. O estudo desenvolvido teve como objetivos: (1) caracterizar o padrão de atividade física de jovens adultos de uma freguesia de Vila do Conde; (2) caracterizar o padrão de atividade física segundo o género dos jovens adultos de uma freguesia de Vila do Conde; e, (3) analisar a diferença ao nível do padrão de atividade física dos jovens adultos em função do género, estado civil, nível de ensino e idade.Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, correlacional e inserido no paradigma quantitativo. A população em estudo versa adultos jovens, de uma freguesia de Vila do Conde. Participaram no estudo 30 adultos jovens de ambos os sexos, que soubessem ler e escrever e que aceitassem participar no estudo. Para a recolha de dados recorreu-se ao Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) – Versão Curta. O instrumento de recolha de dados foi constituído por duas partes: a primeira parte, elaborada especificamente para o estudo, contemplou cinco questões que visaram a caracterização da amostra; e, a segunda, constituída pelo IPAQ. Os principais resultados indicam que a maior parte dos participantes neste estudo pode ser considerado dentro do padrão de Atividade Física “ativo” definidos pela classificação da OMS. Na análise comparativa entre homens e mulheres, os homens reportaram padrão de atividade física superior aos das mulheres. Na análise da diferençado padrão de atividade física em função das variáveis idade, estado civil, género e nível de ensino, verificou-se não existir diferença significativa. O impacto de intervenções no âmbito de promover a atividade física precisa ser mais explorado através de estudos sistemáticos. Desta forma, poder-se-á definir programas promotoras da atividade física da população.
The association between physical activity practice and a better standard of health has been reported in the literature. The practice of physical activity on a regular basis influences the quality of life of the person. Therefore, knowing the pattern of physical activity is the first step in the definition of any health program. The importance of physical activity as a resource to prevent and control non-mandatory diseases (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.) as well as the definition of programs, policies and guidelines has been assumed by the national entities (DGS) and international (WHO). However, the evidence on the physical activity pattern of the Portuguese population is scarce. Therefore, an investigation was undertaken that assumes as object of study the characterization of physical activity of a young adult population. The study objectives were: (1) to characterize the physical activity pattern of young adults in a village of Vila do Conde; (2) to characterize the pattern of physical activity according to the gender of the young adults of a parish of Vila do Conde; and (3) to analyse the difference in the physical activity pattern of young adults according to gender, marital status, educational level and age.The study is a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study inserted in the quantitative paradigm. The population under study is young adults, from a village in Vila do Conde. The study involved 30 young adults of both sexes, who could read and write, and who agreed to participate in the study. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) – Short Version – was used to collect data. The data collection instrument consisted of two parts: the first part, elaborated specifically for the study, included five questions that aimed to characterize the sample; and the second part, constituted by IPAQ. The main results of the study indicate that most of the participants in this study can be considered within the "active" physical activity pattern as defined by the WHO. In the comparative analysis between men and women, men reported a higher level of physical activity than women. In the analysis of the difference of the physical activity patternaccording to the variables age, marital status, gender and level of education, there was no significant difference. The impact of interventions to promote physical activity needs to be further explored through systematic studies. In this way, it will be possible to define programs that promote the population's physical activity.

Full textIntroduction There is scarce evidence about the impact of physical activity (PA) and residence area (rural and urban) on dyslipidemia and lipid profile. Objectives To assess the association between patterns of physical activity, residence area (rural or urban) and dyslipidemia. To assess the correlation between energy expenditure in estimated Mets and total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and l triglycerides levels. Methodology A cross sectional evaluation in a prospective cohort with 4551 individuals aged between 35 and 70 years from rural and urban areas. The PA was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine the association between PA and residence area and the type of dyslipidemia. Linear regression was used to determine the effect of PA on the cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides levels. Results The prevalence of low PA in rural individuals was 5.1 per cent (4.3 per cent women and 6.0 per cent men), urban 11.2 per cent (7.9 per cent women and 5.5 per cent men), p<0,001. Dyslipidemia was present in 75.3 per cent of rural and 68 per cent of urban individuals (p<0.001). In rural women 80.6 per cent and urban women 65.7 per cent (p <0.001), rural men 69.1 per cent and urban men 71 per cent (p=0.369). The medians of lipid levels among women were: total cholesterol (CT) 164,5 mg/dl rural and 201,5 mg/dl urban (p<0,001), HDL 44,5 mg/dl rural and 50,1mg/dl (p<0,001), LDL 120,3 mg/dl rural e 122,6 mg/dl urban (p=0,35), triglycerides 127,1 mg/dl rural e 117,8 urban (p<0,001). Among men the medians of lipid levels were CT 189,5 mg/dl rural e 196,1 mg/dl urban (p=0,002), HDL 40,2 mg/dl rural e 41,8 mg/dl urban (p<0,001), LDL 118,3 mg/dl rural e 121,4 mg/dl urban (p=0,5), triglycerides 131,1 mg/dl rural e 147,0 mg/dl urban (p=0,001). Low HDL level was the most frequent. Household, transportation and occupational PA are associated with reduced risk of dyslipidemia. The effect of household PA on HDL level was 1,001 mg/dl among rural women (p=0.021) and 1,114 mg/dl (p<0.001) among urban women. In urban men, the effect of transportation PA on LDL level was -1.42 mg/dl (p<0.001). The effects of occupational PA on HDL level was 1.002 mg/dl among rural men (p<0.001) and 0.042 mg/dl among urban men (p=0.04). Conclusion There are strong indications about the interaction of physical activity and residence area with dyslipidemia and lipid profile. The observed associations between household, transportation, occupational physical activities and dyslipidemia suggest complementary ways in strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention in the Brazilian population.

Full textA Síndrome Coronariana Aguda (SCA), cujo principal substrato anatomopatológico é a aterosclerose, constitui uma das principais causas de morbimortalidade do mundo moderno. O sedentarismo, presente em 85% da população brasileira, é considerado fator de risco para o surgimento da aterosclerose. A presente investigação foi conduzida visando determinar o grau de atividade física em portadores de SCA, mediante a utilização do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ), associando com o prognóstico intra-hospitalar. Trata-se de estudo observacional, transversal e analítico, utilizando-se 215 sujeitos admitidos, consecutivamente, com diagnóstico de SCA em hospital de referência cardiológica no período de julho de 2009 a fevereiro de 2011. Todos os voluntários responderam à versão curta do IPAQ e foram seguidos quanto ao aparecimento de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV) durante o internamento, a partir de avaliação padronizada, administrada pelo pesquisador, corroborada com os dados do prontuário médico. Para avaliar a associação entre nível de atividade física e presença de complicação intra-hospitalar, optou-se pela técnica de regressão logística para determinação da razão de chance ajustada e não ajustada. Os pacientes foram internados com o diagnóstico de: angina instável (34,4%), Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM) sem supra de ST (41,4%) e IAM com supra de ST (24,2%), sendo classificados como: sedentários (39,5%), insuficientemente ativos (16,7%), ativos (35,8%) e muito ativos (7,9%). Do ponto de vista basal, o grupo de sedentários era mais idoso (p=0,001), exibia maior frequência de episódio anterior de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (0,01) comparada aos demais integrantes e apresentava pressão arterial sistólica mais elevada (p=0,05) que o grupo de muito ativo. Constatou-se a presença de ECV em 49,8% da amostra, com tendência linear crescente na frequência de edema agudo do pulmão (p=0,01), de isquemia recorrente (p=0,03) e de fibrilação atrial (p˂0,001), conforme decremento do nível de atividade física. A ocorrência de complicação intra-hospitalar esteve associada ao tempo de internamento (OR=1,14) e sedentarismo (OR=5,78), independente da idade, pressão arterial sistólica e passado de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva. Portanto, conclui-se que o sedentarismo prediz ECV durante o internamento de portadores de SCA.

Full textThe study involved 92 18 - 69 year old subjects, 63 women and 29 men. In our work we used the direct (accelerometer) and indirect (IPAQ-LT short version of the questionnaire) methods to assess the total weekly physical activity and compare the findings with each other. Each study participant the first International physical activity questionnaire short Lithuanian version filled when completed physical activity estimation with accelerometer (physical activity was remembered of the last week - the first case of the questionnaires filling and another - after a week when physical activity estimation was completed with accelerometer (was asked „to remember“ physical activity that was done for the last week - the second case of the questionnaires filling). According to the IPAQ-LT short version the first and second questionnaire filling cases received the total weekly physical activity data between the first and second questionnaire filling cases exists a moderate correlation (rho=0,531, p=0,01). Evaluating the data of accelerometer and comparing them with the questionnaire data (the first and second guestionnaire filling cases of the total weekly physical activity) between the accelerometer and the the first guestionnaires filling case there is a small correlation (r=0,270, p=0,009), but between the second guestionnaires filling case - a very small (negligible) correliation (r=0,057, p=0,591). The study results suggest that the majority of volunteers in the study of their... [to full text]

Full textStress can today be seen as one of the western world’s greatest health concerns, where the risk for developing stress-inducing illness is high. Research have found evidence that physical activity and sleep have a stress reducing effect, however, there are few studies that have combined these two variables to analyse students stress levels. The purpose of this essay is to analyse the correlation between university students sleeping behaviour, levels of physical activity and perceived stress. The study uses two hypothesis; 1. higher levels of physical activity reduces university students stress levels, 2. high quality sleep reduces university students stress levels. The job demand control model by Karasek and Theorell (1990) was used to understand the individuals stress reactions. The data was collected at a university in the south of Sweden using the instruments Perceived Stress Scale - 10 (PSS-10), Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire (KSQ). The study found no significant correlation between the three variables stress, sleep and physical activity.

Full textThe aim of this study was to analyse the correlation between physical activity and the grade in physical education, but also the correlation with a weighted grade (Mathematics, Swedish, English and Physical Education) and physical activity (metabolic index). The study further investigates whether there is any correlation between socioeconomic status and physical activity and socioeconomic status with a weighted grade. The study was carried out on high school students from two upper secondary schools in Sweden. 158 students (92 girls, 66 boys) participated in the study. The international activity form, IPAQ, was used to estimate physical activity. The students were asked to give their latest grades in swedish, english, mathematics and physical education, and answer questions related to socioeconomic background factors. The results showed that there was a moderately linear relationship between grades in physical education and physical activity (r = 0.48); and a weak linear relationship between the weighted grade and physical activity (r = 0.30). The result showed that the strongest correlations were found for the socioeconomic index (SEI), both for physical activity and (p <0.001, r = 0.35) and for the weighted grade (p <0.001, r = 0.33). However, there were tendencies that the correlation became stronger when modelling that with increased physical activity the grades would increase, in order to subsequently decrease when the physical activity increased even more. Further research should focus on whether too much focus on physical activity can impede school work.

Full textPhysical activity is one of the main components of a healthy lifestyle, responsible for many health benefits. Despite being considered important for both disease prevention and health promotion there is high prevalence of sedentary behavior in the elderly population. Questionnaires are practical and feasible instruments for assessing levels of physical activity. However, they may have limitations in older age ranges. Accelerometers, movement sensors that make physical activity data more objective, emerge as reliable measuring devices. Aim: Determine the validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) adapted for elderly with accelerometry in elderly women. Methods: 57 elderly women, with mean age of 66.05 ? 5.98 years who took part in hypertension control and physical activity incentive programs were assessed in relation to objective and subjective measures of physical activity. The accelerometer was used for 07 consecutive days, 24 hours per day before the IPAQ was applied. Data were analyzed using measures of central tendency and dispersion to characterize the sample according to variables collected. To check the validity of the data we used the Spearman correlation test, considering a significance level of p <0.05. Results: With respect to the categories of physical activity obtained by IPAQ, 46.4% developed moderate physical activity, followed by a high (30.3%) and low level (23.2%). There was a negative correlation only between self-reported time spent sitting and time spent on light activities as measured by accelerometry (r = - 0.408; p = 0.003) and mean activity level (counts/min) with physical activity levels evaluated by IPAQ (r = 0.297; p = 0.036). Conclusion: The IPAQ used in elderly women shows moderate to low validity levels according to accelerometry measures. Assessment of sedentary activities exhibited acceptable levels compared to accelerometry; however, moderate (r = 0.096; p > 0.05) to vigorous (r = 0.098; p > 0.05) activities were not correlated, demonstrating the inability of IPAQ to evaluate this type of activity in elderly women

Apesar de ser considerada um importante comportamento tanto para a preven??o de doen?as como para a promo??o da sa?de ? evidente a alta preval?ncia do sedentarismo na popula??o idosa. Os question?rios s?o instrumentos pr?ticos e vi?veis para avalia??o dos n?veis de atividade f?sica. Entretanto, podem apresentar limita??es em faixas et?rias mais avan?adas. Os aceler?metros s?o sensores de movimento que fornecem dados mais objetivos da atividade f?sica e surgem como um padr?o confi?vel de mensura??o. Objetivo: determinar a validade do Question?rio Internacional de Atividade F?sica (IPAQ) adaptado para idosos atrav?s da acelerometria em idosas. M?todos: 57 mulheres idosas com idade m?dia de 66,05 ? 5,98 anos, que participavam de programas de cuidado ? hipertens?o arterial sist?mica e incentivo ? pr?tica de atividade f?sica foram avaliadas quanto ?s medidas objetivas e subjetivas da atividade f?sica. O aceler?metro foi utilizado por um per?odo de 07 dias consecutivos, 24 horas por dia e posteriormente foi aplicado o IPAQ. Os dados foram analisados utilizando medidas de tend?ncia central e dispers?o para caracteriza??o da amostra de acordo com as vari?veis coletadas. Para verificar a validade entre os dados foi utilizado o teste de Correla??o de Spearman, considerando um n?vel de signific?ncia de p<0,05. Resultados: Com rela??o ?s categorias de atividade f?sica obtidas pelo IPAQ, 46,4% desenvolveram atividade f?sica considerada moderada, seguidas de n?vel alto (30,3%) e 23,2% um n?vel baixo. Houve correla??o negativa apenas entre o tempo auto-reportado gasto sentado e o tempo gasto avaliado pela acelerometria em atividades leves (r = -0,408; p = 0,003) e o n?vel de atividade m?dia (counts/min) via acelerometria com os n?veis de atividade f?sica obtidos pelo IPAQ (r = 0,297; p = 0,036). Conclus?o: A partir dos resultados consideramos que o IPAQ utilizado em mulheres idosas apresenta n?veis de validade de moderado a baixo de acordo com as medidas de acelerometria. A avalia??o das atividades sedent?rias apresentou n?veis aceit?veis quando comparado ? acelerometria; no entanto, as atividades de n?veis moderadas (r = 0,096; p > 0,05) a vigorosas (r = - 0,098; p > 0,05) n?o foram correlacionadas o que demonstra a inabilidade da utiliza??o do IPAQ na avalia??o deste tipo de atividade em mulheres idosas

Enkätformulär med items från IMI- (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory) och EMI- (Extrinsic Motivation Inventory) skalan för motivation tillsammans med det korta IPAQ-formuläret för fysisk aktivitet delades ut till 194 friskole-gymnasieelever från yrkesinriktade program. Resultatet visade att elever som var mer inre motiverade också var mer fysiskt aktiva. Ingen könsskillnad fanns för fysisk aktivitet eller för inre motivation. Inom IMI-subskalan för självständighet hade kvinnorna ett signifikant högre medelvärde än männen. Resultatet stöder forskning inom SDT, främst Buckworth (2007). Könsskillnaden kan rimligtvis antas bero på sociokulturella faktorer. Tillämpad metod kan tillämpas i praktiken inom skolidrotten för att underlätta lektionsplaneringen i syfte att skapa ett bestående intresse för fysisk aktivitet.

Full textBackground: Physical activity is one of the foundational treatments that physiotherapists use to treat patients. How physically active are physiotherapists themselves? Objective: To determine the self-reported physical activity of working physiotherapists in Sweden in relation to the World Health Organisations recommendations for physical activity from 2010 and determine if physical activity and attainement rate of the recommendations differs between male and female physiotherapists in Sweden. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative descriptive comparative design study. Self-reported physical activity for 1 week using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form compared to the World Health Organisations recommendations for physical activity from 2010. Moderate or vigourous physical activity activity minutes were translated into MET-minutes. Participants were working physiotherapists in Sweden between the ages of 18-64. Results: Seven of ten (74%) respondents were sufficiently active to fulfil the recommendations through moderate or vigorous physical activity in combination with at least two bouts of muscle strengthening exercises for major muscle groups. There were no significant statistical differences between male or female participants in physical activity level or the rate of attainment of the recommendations. Conclusions: Working physiotherapists in Sweden seem to be more physically active than the general population. No statistical differences were observed between men and women in physical activity or attainment rate of the recommendations. More and larger studies are needed to research physical activity levels among physiotherapists and compare self-reported physical activity with objective data collected by using accelerometers to research the discrepancy between these two types of data collections methods within the population.

Full textAbstract: Background: Physical activity is an important factor to maintain and restore good health. There is several different factors that may aggravate the utilization of physcal activity. The workplace is often seen as a good arena for physical activity and training at work is often implemented in purpose to improve health and reduce costs related to sickness. The scientific evidence is however inconclusive in the area. Method: Quantitave research using the questionnaire IPAQ. Aim: This study examines wich factors infuence the utilization of training at work, nurses and assistant nurses physical activity and how the physical activity at work influence leisure physical activity. Result: The result show no statistical significant correlation between age, employment level, amount of worked years and physical activity level at work contra utilization of training at work. The participants in this study is a highly active group that distinguish themselv with high leisure time physical activity. The most influencing factor toward the utilization of training at work is the workload. The majority did not utilize training at work. Discussion: Regarding that the majority did not utilize training at work and that the the scientific evidence is inconclusive in the area it is not obvious that training at work give the result that the employer anticipates.

Full textA obesidade é um assunto que nos dias de hoje merece especial destaque pela sua crescente prevalência entre a população mundial. É considerada a “Síndrome do Novo Mundo”, a epidemia do século XXI. O excesso de peso (defendido com índice de massa corporal de 25 kg/m2 ou mais) e a obesidade (IMC maior que 30 kg/m2) são a 5ª principal causa de morte a nível mundial e indiscutivelmente a maior causa de mortalidade evitável a seguir ao consumo tabágico, pelo que é fulcral unir esforços no sentido de travar esta tendência. Os seus custos económicos representam 2 a 7% dos custos totais de saúde. Estima-se que em Portugal os custos diretos da obesidade (que compreendem as despesas com a prevenção, diagnóstico, tratamento, reabilitação, investigação, formação e investimento) absorvam 3,5% destas despesas. Para combater este problema, a atividade física é apontada como uma das medidas principais. A adoção de hábitos de vida ativa é fundamental na prevenção de doenças como a obesidade. Assim, o enfermeiro assume um papel fundamental na sua promoção. Portugal é um dos países onde a regularidade de atividade física praticada pelos jovens apresenta piores resultados. Tendo em conta que esta população tem como exemplo a população adulta, intervindo nos Adultos Jovens, reflete-se na população mais jovem, sendo que a preservação desses hábitos de vida ativa se propagam num futuro, enquanto idoso. Pretende-se que este trabalho também possa servir de incentivo à população em geral, assim como a enfermeiros, para adoção de um estilo de vida ativo, e a promoção do mesmo, com prática de atividade física regular, de forma a prevenir e a combater o problema da obesidade. Para a sua elaboração foi realizada uma pesquisa de artigos científicos, e outra bibliográfica com as palavras-chave “Obesidade”, “IMC”, “Atividade Física”, “Exercício Físico”, “Adulto Jovem”, “Saúde”. Foram ainda consultados dados estatísticos disponíveis em várias organizações de referência como é o caso da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) e da Direção Geral de Saúde (DGS). O principal objetivo deste trabalho é Conhecer os Níveis de Atividade Física dos Adultos Jovens de Ponte de Lima e o IMC. São também objetivos, conhecer os níveis de atividade dos adultos jovens de Ponte de Lima; identificar os níveis de atividade física por género, dos adultos jovens de Ponte de Lima; conhecer o IMC dos adultos jovens de Ponte de Lima e identificar o IMC por género, relativamente ao nível de atividade física do adulto jovem de Ponte de Lima. Para responder aos objectivos apresentados, optou-se por um estudo de abordagem quantitativa, do tipo descritivo simples, dirigido a uma amostra de 44 adultos jovens de Ponte de Lima. Para reunir esta amostra usou-se o método de amostragem não probabilística ou intencional e acidental. Na recolha de dados foi utilizado um questionário – IPAQ e o tratamento dos dados foi realizado através do programa Microsoft Excel e apresentação dos dados obtidos em gráficos. Os resultados obtidos na realização do presente trabalho de investigação demonstram que os indivíduos praticam um nível de atividade física elevado, sendo que as mulheres apresentam maior percentagem de NAF elevado relativamente aos homens. Quanto aos resultados obtidos em função dos valores de IMC, são as mulheres, numa percentagem de 22,73% que apresentam sobrecarga. Quanto ao nível obesidade ligeira são os homens que apresentam maior percentagem, com 9,09%. Com peso ótimo revelou-se que são as mulheres que apresentam maior percentagem, com 27,27% das mesmas a incluírem-se nesse mesmo nível. Identificou-se também no presente estudo que, as maiores percentagens obtidas na relação NAF e IMC por Género se verificaram nos níveis de atividade física elevado, sendo que, no género feminino a um IMC peso ótimo, numa percentagem de 25%, e no género masculino, igualdade entre peso ótimo e sobrecarga, com 13,64% dos mesmos a praticarem nível de atividade física elevado.
Obesity is an issue these days deserves special mention for its increasing prevalence among the population. I is considered the “New World Syndrome”, the epidemic of the XXI century. The overweight (defined as a body mass index [BMI] of 25 kg/m2 or more) and obesity (BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 are the 5th leading cause of death worldwide and, arguably, the biggest cause of avoidable mortality, following the smoking habits, so it is key to unite efforts to halt this trend. Their economic costs represent 2-7% of total health costs. It is estimated that in Portugal the direct costs of obesity /comprising the costs of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, research, training and investment) absorb 3.5% of these expenses. To combat this problem, physical activity is considered one of the main measures. Adopting active lifestyle is vital in preventing diseases such as obesity. Thus, the nurse plays a key role in its promotion. Portugal is one of the countries where the regularity of physical activity by young people has worse results. Given that this population has the example of the adult population, intervening in Young Adults, is reflected in the younger population, and the preservation of these habits of active life spread in the future, while elderly. It is intended that this work can also serve as an incentive to the general population, as well as nurses, for adoption of an active lifestyle, and the promotion of the same, with the practice of regular physical activity in order to prevent and combat problem of obesity. For its preparation we conducted a survey of scientific articles and other literature with the keywords “obesity”, BMI”, “Physical Activity”, “Exercise”, “Young Adult”, “Health”. Were consulted statistical data available on several leading organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Directorate General of Health (DGS). The main objective of this work is knowing the physical Activity Levels of Young Adults Ponte de Lima and BMI. Are also goals: meet the physical activity levels of young adults of Ponte de Lima, to identify the physical activity levels by gender, young adults Ponte de Lima ; meet the BMI of young adults from Ponte de Lima and identify by BMI gender in relation to the physical activity level of young adult Ponte de Lima. To meet the objectives presented, we chose a quantitative approach, descriptive simple directed to a sample of 44 young adult from Ponte de Lima. To gather this example we used the non-probability sampling method or intentional and accidental. Data collection questionnaire was used – and the IPAQ data processing was performed using the Microsof Excel program and presentation of data in graphs. The results achieved in the realization of this research work demonstrates that individuals practice a high level of physical activity, and women have a higher percentage of NAF hogh relative to men. As for the results obtained on the basis of BMI, are women, a percentage of 22.73%, which feature overhead the level obesity are slight men with higher percentage, with 9.09%. With great weight has proved that it is women who have the highest percentage, with 27.27% of them to include on this same level. Il was also identified in this study, the highest percentages obtained in relation PAL and BMI by gender is found in high levels of physical activity, and, in females with a BMI great weigh, a percentage of 25%, and gender male equality great weight and burden, with 13,64% of them have practiced physical activity level high.

Full textBackground There’s an interest in society in both physical activity and stress. Physical activity and stress have a complex relationship and interact on each other. Physical activity involves all movement with your body that consume energy and stress is an imbalance between resources and strain. Objective The intention with this study was to examine the relationship between self-assessed physical activity and perceived stress in physiotherapy students and the difference between men and women. Method This is a quantitative study using questionnaires for collecting data. Questionnaires used in this study were International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Collected data was processed in IBM SPSS Statistics Version 24 and then discussed and analyzed based on previous studies. This study has a total of 71 respondents, 40 women and 31 men. Average age of women was 26,5 years and 25,6 years for men. Results No significant difference between genders was found in self-assessed physical activity. A significant difference was found in how male and female physiotherapy students perceive their stress level. There’s a weak relationship between physical activity and perceived stress among both male (r=0,23) and female (r=0,13) physiotherapy students. Conclusion A difference between the genders was observed with perceived stress but not with self-assessed physical activity. A weak relationship was found between physical activity and stress.

Não há suficiente consistência na literatura sobre mudanças nos níveis de atividade física (NAF) de acordo com as variações climáticas. Nós realizamos um estudo para avaliar o efeito da sazonalidade nos NAFs em adultos de Porto Alegre e região metropolitana. Foi um estudo longitudinal com uma amostra de conveniência de 120 pessoas de 20 a 69 anos. As pessoas foram avaliadas em dois períodos do ano de 2007: no verão e no inverno. A atividade física foi avaliada usando a seção de atividade física no tempo de lazer e como forma de deslocamento do International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). As variáveis socioeconômicas e demográficas foram avaliadas por meio de um questionário padronizado. As análises foram estratificadas por sexo, idade, escolaridade, nível socioeconômico e Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Das 120 pessoas, 71% eram mulheres, 59% tinham de 20-40 anos, a média de idade, 61% tinham 12 anos ou mais de escolaridade, 83% pertenciam à classe A e B e a razão de sobrepeso/ peso normal foi 1:2,5.
There are no consistent findings about the effect of weather and season changes on the physical activity levels. We conducted a study to evaluate seasonal effects on physical activity levels among adults living in Porto Alegre and metropolitan region, Southern Brazil. The study design was longitudinal with a convenience sample of 120 adults, aged 20 to 69. Visits were carried out in two periods of the year 2007: summer and winter. Physical activity was evaluated using the leisure-time and transport-related physical activity sections of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics were obtained by standardized questionnaires. Analyses were stratified by gender, age, education, socioeconomic and Body Mass Index (BMI). A total of 120 people were interviewed, 71% were women. Most people (59%) were in the 20-40 years age group, 61% had more than 12 years of education and belonged to A and B socioeconomic levels (83%). Overweight / normal weight ratio was 1

Full textThe practice of physical activity significantly reduces the risk of stroke. It is also used as a therapeutic strategy to maximize functional recovery during the rehabilitation of stroke survivors. Therefore, it is important to monitor the level of physical activity of healthy people and stroke survivors. Tracking the level of physical activity depends on the availability of valid and reliable tools for measuring and assessing physical activity. Unfortunately, the lack of such tools is observed in Benin, a French-speaking country in Africa. Also, in the circumstances of countries with limited financial resources such as Benin, questionnaires, subjective methods of measuring physical activity, are the most used methods because of their low cost and ease of implementation. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is a frequently tool used for measuring the level of physical activity of healthy subjects and different groups of patients. However, this questionnaire, to our knowledge, is not validated in the context of French-speaking African countries as in the context of Benin. The goal of this Master thesis was to adapt and validate IPAQ in healthy people and stroke survivors in Benin. Consequently, following well-established methods, we adapted the IPAQ according to the culture and specific linguistic aspects of French as spoken in Benin. Then, the convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the Beninese experimental version of the questionnaire were examined from a sample of 60 healthy subjects and 60 post-stroke subjects recruited in Benin. The results of the study show excellent convergent validity and excellent test-retest reliability of the Benin version of IPAQ for measuring the physical activity of healthy people and stroke survivors.

Full textBackground: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease with both motor and non-motor symptoms. Depression is a common non-motor symptom in PD. According to research, physical activity (PA) has a positive effect on depression; however, strong evidence supporting the relation between them is lacking. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between PA and depression in patients with PD. Method: Fifty-eight participants were recruited to this cross-sectional study. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire modified for the elderly was used to measure PA, presented in low, moderate and high physical activity levels and MET-minutes/week. Montegomery-Åstrand Depression Rating Scale was used to assess depression and was presented in total score. The questionnaires were formed into a survey from which the data was collected. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to calculate the relation. Results: Among the participants, 15 (26%) had a low level of PA, 18 (31%) moderate and 25 (43%) high level of PA. Further, 15 (26%) were non-depressed, 27 (47%) had mild depression, 14 (24%) moderate and 2 (3%) severe depression. Evaluating the relation using the two different presentations of PA along with depression scores, results showed r= -0.2 (p= 0.26) and r= -0.15 (p= 0.26), respectively. Conclusion: The result showed a weak negative relation, but the probability of the result being due to coincidence is high. To ensure the relation between PA and depression in patients with PD, further studies are needed in the future.

Full textAim. The purpose of the study was to identify that with accelerometry the physical activity patterns of elderly, at two separate pre-test and at the end of a two-month period with instructor-led training twice per week. A further aim was to study the correlation between survey questions about physical activity and sedentary against measured accelerometer data. Method. A group of 65-91 years (mean 71 years, BMI 25 kg/m2) were studied. Two pre-test (F1 & F2) and an aftertest (E) was performed during the last training week. A total of 97 individuals at F1 & F2 and 78 at E compared to F2 were investigated. Results. In F1 was seen for accelerometer data (at least moderate physical activity) mean values 42.7 min/d (MVPA/d), but only 22,2 min/d in time periods of at least 10 minutes (Freedson bouts /d). In the analysis of separate days came only 15% of participants came up to the recommended 5 days/week with at least 30 minutes of continuous 10-min periods of physical activity (with at least moderate intensity). Vigorous intensity activity (VPA) was very low for this group (0.9 min/d). The average for sedentary time was 10.2 hours (SED/d) and 4.3 hours total time in 20-min periods (Sedentary bouts/d). Between F1 and F2 no significant changes were seen for MVPA/d or Freedson bouts/d. A tiny reduction, which was significant, was seen for sedentary time (20.0 resp. 13.7 min/d SED/d, resp. Sed bouts/d). Change of VPA showed a minimal increase of 0.4 min/d (s.). The correlation between F1 & F2 was 0.86 for MVPA/d, 0.81 for Freedson/d, 0.59 for Vig/d, 0.59 SED/d and 0.74 for Sed bouts/d, all significant. At E emerged, against F2, a small but significant increase for MVPA/d (to 50.6 min/d), but not for Freedson bouts/d (20.9 min/d) or to target at least 5 days/week with 30 min in Freedson bouts/d (12%). Sedentary fell significantly for E to 9.7 h/d (SED/d) and 3.6 h/d (Sed. bouts/d). VPA increased minimally by 0.5 min/d (s.) to median 1.7 min/d. The strongest significant (*) correlations between different questions and the accelerometers was noted for MVPA/d, resp. Freedson bouts/d (at most 0.53-0.60 *), followed by sedentary time 0.40 * resp. 0.39 * (in SED/d resp. Sed bouts/d). VPA showed no or very low correlation (highest r = 0.24 *) to the questions. Conclusion. The values of vigorous activities in accelerometer data consistently showed surprisingly low levels. One reason may be that the computer analysis programs for the activity counters are not sufficiently sensitive as they currently are set for senior´s highest intensity levels. Best significant correlation against the accelerometers was seen for questions about at least moderately intense physical activity. Some significant correlation was also seen for sedentary time, while accelerometer data was generally not consistent with self-reported data for high-intensity physical activity for older people. So these senior data show somewhat different results as compared to previous studies in younger adults who usually present a higher validity of the questions with high-intensity compared with moderate-intensity physical activity.

Full textIntroduction: Physical inactivity is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCD). Among them, central obesity and waist adiposity stand out as an independent risk factor for mortality. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) has been used to assess physical activity epidemiology, aiming to standardize the investigation. Objective: To assess the prevalence of physical activity according to different criteria and its association with obesity in adults in the city of Porto Alegre, south Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-based study, representative of the adult population (18-90years old) of Porto Alegre. It is part of the Study of Obesity and Risk Factors (SOFT study). Physical activity was assessed using the short version of IPAQ. Obesity was determined by body-mass index P 30kg/m2, and central adiposity by waist circumference. Demographic (skin color, self referred and categorized in white or non-white; age, calculated from birth and interview dates), socioeconomic (education, defined as number of years in scholl; working during the month prior to the interview; marital status, categorized in single, divorced or widowed, and married), and life style (abusive alcohol consumption, defined as P15g/day for women and P 30g/day for men; smoking, categorized in current smokers, non-smokers, and ex-smokers) characteristics were investigated. The SPSS complex samples module was used to consider the design effect. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to analyze the relation among obesity and the variables of interest. Prevalence rates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Cox regression with time set to 1. Results: Using the different criteria for low physical activity, 30.5% of 1858 adults were insufficiently active according to the IPAQ protocol, 25.5% performed less than 150 minutes of physical activity per week, 38.6% spent less than 1000kcal per week, and 34.5% spent six hours or more sitting per week. Statistically significant differences were detected between men and women, with a higher prevalence for men, for P150min/week of vigorous activities (26.9 vs. 14.2%), P 150min/week of walking (51.1 vs. 43.8%), P 1000min/week of practice (18.9 vs. 14.2%), and P 6h/day sitting (37.4 vs. 32.4%). Inverse correlation with age was confirmed in al criteria of physical activity for women, and on most criteria for men. An exception was sedentary behavior, associated to age only among men and with higher prevalence among young individuals. Analyzing the association of high level of physical activity with obesity, we identified that 25% of the sample were very active, 21% were obese and 29% ha central obesity. Men and women had significant differences regarding obesity (17.5 vs. 23.5%, p= 0.006) and central obesity (17.5 vs. 37.3%, p<0.001) prevalence, but not regarding high level of physical activity (26.3 vs. 24.7%, p=0.5). The inverse association of high physical activity level with age was confirmed for men (p<0.001) and women (p<0.001), but association independent of high physical activity level with less risk of obesity was only confirmed for women (p=0.01). Conclusion: Prevalence of physical activity varies according to definition, but IPAQ criteria and duration P 150min/week are similar. The prevalences identified by IPAQ in Porto Alegre are similar to those described in Brazil. High level physical activity is less prone to reporting bias, and its association with obesity should reproduce reality. In the population of Porto Alegre the associations between high level physical activity and obesity was not confirmed for men. Among women, the association was positive and independent of other confusion factors.

Full textIntroduction: Physicians have an important role in promoting healthy lifestyles among their patients. There is evidence that physicians with higher levels of physical activity (PA) have more positive attitudes regarding exercise counseling. Some studies have found the same association for medical students. The aim of this study is to test if the PA level of medical students influences their attitudes towards counseling healthy lifestyles, particularly physical activity. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was designed and a questionnaire was applied to senior medical students (N = 83) at the University of Beira Interior (UBI) with a response rate of 78% (N = 65). The questionnaire evaluated the levels of PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the healthy lifestyles promotion framework during medical education and attitudes towards healthy lifestyles counseling. Results: More than half of UBI’s senior medical students were considered active (55%). There was no relationship between overall levels of PA and PA counseling. Higher vigorous PA levels were associated with a greater confidence in PA counseling (p = 0.017). The perception of a medical training that promotes healthy lifestyles was related to greater confidence and frequency of PA counseling (p=0,001; p=0,029). Conclusion: Higher vigorous PA levels of UBI’s senior medical students are related to more positive attitudes towards PA counseling. Medical education and the medical school framework seem to be determinant in the development of more positive attitudes towards promotion of healthy lifestyles, particularly PA.

A identificação de produtos é um problema comum para estas pessoas, principalmente produtos alimentares, sempre que a pessoa necessita de ir às compras, na despensa em casa ou em cada refeição do dia em que é necessário cozinhar. Para ajudar a população portadora de deficiência visual, a enfrentar este problema, esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo o desenvolvimento de um equipamento/dispositivo que resolva este obstáculo de maneira a dar-lhe mais autonomia. Durante o desenvolvimento deste estudo foi importante salientar temas como o “Design Inclusivo”, o “Interação Produto/ Utilizador”, “Deficiência Visual” e a “Identificação de produtos”. Em termos metodológicos foi realizada, nesta dissertação, uma investigação de natureza mista assente em métodos intervencionistas e não-intervencionistas. Elaborou-se uma revisão da literatura, com o objetivo de reunir as bases teóricas das áreas de estudo; recorreu- se a uma análise de casos de estudo; fez-se um levantamento dos dispositivos existentes no mercado recorrendo a um estudo de casos; foram realizadas conversas informais, mas essenciais ao desenvolvimento do projeto e ainda se concretizou uma entrevista exploratória com um grupo de amostragem. Aplicando ainda uma metodologia não-intervencionista, foram feitos inquéritos por entrevista ao grupo de amostragem, colaborador e especialista, com o intuito de perceber que alterações seriam necessárias para a evolução do projeto. Simultaneamente, e numa vertente mais prática de investigação ativa, foram criados diversos modelos-teste do dispositivo, em que o último modelo, mais próximo daquilo que seria o dispositivo na realidade, foi utilizado para a realização de uma avaliação e simulação da utilização do mesmo, com o grupo de amostragem. Deste modo, espera-se que este processo de investigação permita mostrar a importância de uma melhor maneira de identificar produtos alimentares que facilite a rotina diária das pessoas portadoras de de ciência visual, melhorando consequentemente a sua qualidade de vida.
ABSTRACT: About 80% of the information that the human being receives is through vision. For blind people and with severe vision loss, the simplest day-today activity can become a challenge. Product identification is a common problem for these people, especially food products, whenever they need to go shopping, in the pantry at home or at each meal of the day when it is necessary to cook. To help the population with visual imparment dealing with this problem, this dissertation has as object of study, the development of an equipment/device that can solve this problem in order to give more autonomy. During the development of this study it was important to highlight themes such as “Inclusive Design”, “Product-User Interaction”, “Visual Impairment” and “Product Identification”. In methodological terms it was made, in this dissertation, a mixed nature investigation with interventionist and non-interventionist methods. A review of the literature was made, aiming to gather the theoretical bases of the study areas; It was made an analysis of study cases; a survey of the existing devices on the market was done using case studies; informal conversations were carried out, but they were essential to the development of the Project, it was also done an exploratory interview with a sampling group. Applying a non- interventionist methodology, were elaborated surveys by interview to the sampling group, a collaborator and a specialist, in order to understand what changes would be necessary for the evolution of the project. Simultaneously, and in a more practical eld of active investigation, several test models of the device were created, in which the last one, closer to what the device would actually be, was used to carry out an evaluation and simulation of its use, with the sampling group. Therefore, is expected that this process of investigation shows the importance of a better way to identify food products that facilitates the daily routine of blind or visually impaired people, giving them the desired autonomy.

Dessa används t.ex. för att läsa och skriva e-postmeddelanden, surfa på webben och spela spel. Ett annat användningssätt av dessa surfplattor är att läsa och editera PDF-dokument. PDF-hantering är ofta tänkt att användas i böcker och i vanliga textdokument men ett användningsområde som det också skulle kunna användas inom är ritningshantering. En bransch som skulle ha stor nytta av att använda surfplattor i just detta syfte är byggbranschen. Genom att skapa en applikation som inte bara fungerar som en vanlig PDF-läsare, utan även kan behandla ritningar genom att i dessa kunna göra annoteringar, synkronisera dessa mot en molntjänst och maila dessa ritningar till andra så skulle ritningshanteringen inom byggbranschen effektiviseras både tidsmässigt och ur ett kostnadsperspektiv. Detta examensarbete presenterar bl.a. planeringen, implementeringen, resultatet men även de utmaningar som framkom vid skapandet av en sådan prototyp. Med användning av objektorienterade analys och design principer, utförlig användning av testfall och implementering i Objective-C så har intressanta resultat framkommit.

Full textThe purpose of the study was to investigate what opinions teachers at a school had about the iPad in teaching and how it affected students. This study used a combination of interviews and observations to access the data that was necessary. Semi-structured interviews with ten teachers were conducted and several observations were made during lesson time. The study was based on three themes: learning, distraction, and mood. The results showed that the teachers did agree that the iPad did distract the students but disagreed on questions about how the iPad affected students' learning and mood. Those who were in favor thought that the iPad, among other things, contributed to creativity and found it more difficult to see a connection between mental illness and the iPad. Other teachers considered that the iPad contributed to more students being isolated and that learning was hampered because the students did not have to make an effort as before to seek information. The results are discussed in the light of the iPad's being or non-being as a teaching aid in the classroom.

Full textThe qualitative study was designed to describe and understand the child's communication and interaction when using the iPad. Observations have been made on three different pre-schools that are actively using the iPad in their activity. The study has been based on the socio-cultural theory that children learn from each other in interaction. The results of the study have revealed that children interact as they sat several children around common iPad. It also emerged that an interaction occurs child - iPad when children on several occasions verbally communicated with the app. The communication around the iPad went by the governing child both verbally and nonverbally. The non-steer kids gave instructions to the governing child, which they saw on the screen if it was implemented. When verbal instructions were not carried out did the child a nonverbal action in the form of own actions. In the discussion, we compared the results of the study of theories and previous research. The use of the iPad in the educational activities and having a currently teacher are important for learning to happen. Interaction and communication emerged in the activity, but the educator's role is to challenge kids.
