Abstract:

We contribute to the happiness literature by analyzing the causal relationship between sports and happiness. Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we find a positive correlation between sports participation and reported life satisfaction. This relationship is stronger at younger and older ages than in middle age, and for people in bad health compared to those in average health. We further provide evidence for both causal directions. It turns out that the causal impact of engaging in sports on happiness is about four times higher than the effect of happiness on engaging in sports.

Abstract:

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between community sport participation and health promotion among Chinese older adults. This study used a descriptive comparative research design and a correlational research design. The population of this study is the elderly in Guangxi Xinxingyuan community, which has a total of 3847 elderly residents. The selected 300 older adults are survey to collect data relate to community sport participation and health promotion. The study concluded that the individuals' gender, age and education level have a significant impact on their community sport participation and health and well-being. The attractiveness and accessibility of community sports activities need to be improved to stimulate active participation and increase the level of community sports participation among older adults. Individual differences should be taken into account when designing relevant policies and programs, so as to provide customized services and support for different groups. The health and well-being of older people needs urgent attention and improvement, especially in terms of physical health, mental health and quality of life. The impact of individual characteristics on health and well-being deserves our attention, and it is crucial to provide customized health management solutions for different groups. Community sports activities play an important role in promoting the health and well-being of older people, and related activities should be further promoted and strengthened. In response to the challenges of community sport participation for older persons, comprehensive policies and measures are needed to address these issues and provide a better environment and support for older persons to participate in sport.

Abstract:

Physical activity among the older population of Bulgaria is a matter related to health prevention, improving the quality of life and recovery after illness. In this work, we present data from a study held with people aged 65-80 years, citizens of Sofia city. Our goal was to determine the place of physical exercise in their daily lives and the role of sports teacher for the formation of motivation in them for leading an active lifestyle. The analysis shows lack of information on the wide variety of motor activities suitable for this age group as well as low level of motivation for sport activities. We conclude that it is necessary to provide sources of information to the people of the third age, which will educate them about the benefits of the active way of life and what possibilities for access to various sports activities are there. Medium intensity workout or a daily walk outdoors would help not only to improve their fitness level but also to maintain the necessary mental health and social activity.

Abstract:

In the context of population aging, we have witnessed an increased interest in studying the participation of older persons in cultural and sport activities. The aim of this paper is to identify the participation rate in cultural and sports activities among Romanian older adults and the sociodemographics/behavioral variables that correlate with the participation rate in cultural and sports activities. In order to answer our research questions, we employed a questionnaire-based survey, and we used a nationally representative sample. Results point to low participation in both cultural and sports activities. Gender, residence, education, income, degree of mobility, internet connection, and availability of financial resources are significant variables that correlate with the engagement of older people in cultural and sports activities. Our study could serve as a base for concrete policy measures in the field of health and social inclusion of older persons.

Abstract:

Introdution: The environment and the type of co-living of older people are crucial to understanding how the nature of their context influences a healthy lifestyle. However, no studies have investigated to what extent their type of co-living may be associated with the sports and the profile practice according to their age. Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between the types of co-living and the age of the physically active elderly and the sports they practice. Hypothesis: It is thought that the age, situation, and satisfaction with the way of living in physically active older people differ according to the type of sport they practice. Methods: Cross-sectional study. We included 358 individuals aged between 61 and 93 years old (M = 69.66, SD = 4.74). Type of co-living was classified as living alone or living with others. The sports activities evaluated were: gym, dance, water activities, and yoga/pilates. Differences in the type of co-living and sports practiced were evaluated by ANOVA or Chi2. Results: Among the elderly who practice gymnastics, most of them live alone and in a tight core (p < 0.001) (Phi = 0.244). Furthermore, those who practice aquatic activities are more frequently the youngest (p < 0.001) (Phi = 0.198). Conclusion: Older people who do gymnastics have smaller living groups, those under 69 opt for gymnastics and aquatic activities, while those aged 70 and over prefer dance, yoga, and pilates.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTHow can the ‘social capital’ inherent in social networks provide contacts through which older people access practical and emotional support? What is the relative importance of kin and non-kin, and of participation in organisations and informal ties such as contacts with neighbours? Following a brief contextualisation that draws on previous literature, this paper addresses these questions through analysis of British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) data. It examines the extent to which people feel they can count on emotional and practical support from friends and relatives. A dependent variable was created that measures the outcome of the ‘social capital’ residing in a respondent's social network. Relatively poor support was found amongst elders who were childless or had been continuously without a partner; relatively rich support was found amongst those who had frequent contact with other people, who interacted frequently with neighbours, and who regarded their neighbourhood as a positive social environment. Being active in organisations had less effect on social support than informal social contacts. Amongst many different forms of organisational activity, the only ones that had a positive association with social support were being in contact with others through religious activities, and engaging in sports clubs. The social support of working-class elders, even those ‘well networked’ in formal or informal ways, was strengthened less by their social capital than was that of the professional and managerial occupational groups.

Abstract:

Ankle sprains are a common musculoskeletal injury in sport. Older people are increasingly participating in sports such as running. The specificities of musculoskeletal injuries in older people pose a different diagnostic challenge from that in young people participating in the same activities. A clinical case is presented of a 64-year-old patient diagnosed with a grade 1, plantar flexion/inversion ankle sprain that was later diagnosed as a quite different and rare injury. Fractures of the fibular malleolus, talar neck and dome are possible differential diagnoses for an ankle sprain, as are talar dome chondral defects. Response to treatment may help to guide the diagnostic procedure when pain persists after appropriate treatment.

Abstract:

Podiatric medical students in Australia were surveyed to evaluate their reasons for entering podiatric medicine, knowledge of aging, attitudes toward older people, perceptions of treatment efficacy, and desire to specialize in geriatrics. Few students plan to specialize in geriatrics upon graduation (4%), with most preferring general practice (25%) or sports medicine (21%). However, knowledge of aging was good, and students had favorable attitudes toward older people and considered treatment of older people to be effective. Few age- or gender-related effects were observed. It is concluded that students’ lack of desire to specialize in geriatrics may be due not to unfavorable perceptions of older people but rather to the low profile and limited development of geriatrics as a specialty area within the podiatric medical profession.

Abstract:

The article presents the results of a study based on the data of an all-Russian sociological survey of the population. 2444 people over 60 years old were interviewed throughout Russia. Based on the obtained data, an assessment was made of the relationship between physical activity and self-assessment of the level of health, the duration of the illness per year, and the conduct of a healthy lifestyle. It was revealed that at a statistically significant level, elderly people who go in for sports assess themselves as healthier than those who do not play sports and lead a less active lifestyle, it was revealed that healthier and less often sick elderly people are more active in sports.

Abstract:

Significance. Priorities in active longevity include health maintenance among older people and their adherence to active lifestyle. Increase in the Active Longevity Index (ALI) in Russia is mainly hampered by low physical activity among older people making identification of factors potentially affecting ALI relevant. The purpose of the study is to evaluate a complex of factors potentially affecting decrease in physical activity among older people in Russia. Material and methods: a sociological method (questionnaire) was used to study the complex of potential factors affecting the ALI decrease - physical activity among older people exemplified by the six Russian federal districts (n =352). Study results were analyzed based on the descriptive statistics methods. The initial level of statistical significance is p<0.05. Results. The study has identified that the older people contingent is mainly represented by people aged 55-64 (63.3%), with higher education (45.9%) and secondary vocational education (31.2%), 81.7% of the respondents confirm presence of disability, 46.8% are not under a regular medical follow-up, 47.7% spend less than 60 minutes a week on physical activities and sports and 15.5% of the respondents never do physical activities or sports. Conclusion. 48.6% of older people lack physical activity, 47.7% of them exercise for less than an hour a week. To evaluate physical activity indicator under the "Independent, healthy, safe life" ALI domain, it is necessary to take into account the following complex of indirect factors, such as: gender, age, level of education, presence of a disability group, and frequency of regular medical examination.

Abstract:

Changes in sports behaviour and activities over the last decades are often attributed to developments of individualisation and differentiation in society. Existing empirical studies confirm that sporting activity is increasingly differentiated, with the proportion of regular sport-active people growing, as well as access improving for those previously less well represented, for example, women and older people. However, more men than women and more younger than older people are active in sports clubs (Lamprecht et al., 2020). This lecture will consider the extent to which social differences and inequalities in sporting behaviour have decreased in the Swiss population over recent decades. The underlying processes of exit and entry, age, cohort, and period effects are also examined. Mayer’s life course approach (1990; 2009) is the theoretical and methodological framework for the investigation of change processes in contemporary history, where “social structures and their changes can be partially reconstructed from individual trajectories” (Mayer, 1990, p.8). Changes in modern sport can therefore be reconstructed through personal longitudinal data and its aggregation. In 2019, this study gathered the trajectories of sport and physical activities of a total of 1,456 people living in Switzerland aged 15 to 76 years using a retrospective telephone survey. For the time-historical analyses, age cohorts of those born 1943 to 1950, 1951 to 1960, through to those born 1981 to 1990 were constructed. Information on sporting activities over the life course from childhood to the present from the periods 1950s to 2010s was then chronologically classified. The analyses confirm existing research that shows older people practice sport activities in clubs less frequently. This negative age effect in club sport can be seen across all age cohorts and time periods (all p < .001). Binary logistic regression analyses also indicate that this age effect is most pronounced, with an OR of 0.35, in the youngest age cohort born 1981 to 1990, whereas in the oldest cohort born 1943 to 1950, shows OR = 0.67. In recent decades, more child and adolescent girls have gained access to club sport, with a decline in the gender difference from approximately 22 percentage points in the 1950s/1960s to approximately 6 percentage points in the 2000s/2010s. A positive age effect can be observed in self-organised sporting activities. This is more pronounced in the younger age cohorts, OR = 2.72, than in the older, OR = 1.77. These historical analyses demonstrate that age differences in organisational forms of sport remain, but that gender differences in club sport have been minimised, particularly in childhood and adolescence. In addition, the effects have tended to become greater in recent years and changes in the forms of organisation tend to become more significant over time.

Abstract:

“Soundscape” is defined as “an acoustic environment as perceived or experienced and/or understood by a person or people, in context.” The research focuses on the physical properties of sound, paying attention to the relationship between the soundscape and people. Sports provide a comprehensive context, including the athletes, their behavior, the environment, spectators, and other elements. Soundscape in sports has many important functions, such as indicating the movement process, promoting positive emotions, and enhancing the entertainment atmosphere. It is also related to the physical and mental health of people who are exercising. As a technical sport with multidimensional soundscape qualities, diabolo is very popular among older adults in China due to its easy portability and operation. In order to explore the influence mechanism of the soundscape on the mental health of older players and better guide the shaping of soundscapes at sports venues, this paper focuses on soundscape perception and proposes a two-channel (direct and indirect) model of the influence of the diabolo soundscape on the psychological perception of older players. At the same time, we introduce the flow state as an indicator to evaluate mental health, and use the Short Flow State Scale (SFSS) to measure the flow state. By setting up a control experiment using the diabolo with and without sound and using the two-channel (direct and indirect) influence model to compare the differences in flow state scores under the two states, we analyzed the influence mechanism of the diabolo soundscape on the flow state of elderly groups. The results show that the scores of various flow state dimensions and total flow scores in the silent state of diabolo exercise are significantly lower than those in the sound state (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001), and the main differences are in the three dimensions of unambiguous feedback, sense of control, and autotelic experience. The two-channel influence model can effectively explain the differences in older adults’ flow state, which provides a new comprehensive perspective to study the effect of the soundscape in sports on people’s mental health.

Abstract:

Background Sports are physical activities that provide physical, psychological, and social benefits for individuals with spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D). However, most sports research has been completed on individuals with SCI/D who are aged >50 years, even though the majority of people with SCI/D are aged >50 years. Despite substantial evidence supporting sports for older adults not living with a disability, there is currently no research examining the impact of sports for adults with SCI/D aged ≥50 years. Objectives To explore the perceptions and experiences of individuals with SCI/D aged 50 years or older who participate in sports in the community. Methods Fifteen adults with SCI/D aged ≥50 years who participated in community-based sports were interviewed. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Conventional content analysis was applied to the data. Results The overarching theme identified was that sports are fun and adaptable physical activities that have the potential to optimize physical, psychological, and social health in all people with SCI/D, regardless of age. Within this overarching theme, six categories surfaced: (1) importance of participating in sports later in life, (2) prioritizing health over performance, (3) uncertainties about participating in sports later in life, (4) reflections on participating in sports later in life, (5) beliefs on alternative sports involvement, and (6) advice for other aging adults with SCI/D considering sports. Conclusion Sports are perceived to provide physical, psychological, and social benefits for individuals with SCI/D aged 50 years or older. Findings will inform the development of future adaptive sports programs for older individuals with SCI/D.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The idea of sports as a way of strengthening the body has been around for a long time. It has also been confirmed from the perspective of modern medicine. The development of sports has been accepted by people under the effect of medical proof. Objective: This article explores the behavioral characteristics and shortcomings of physical exercise for the elderly who aim to strengthen their health. Methods: The article statistically analyzes the influencing factors of urban Chinese elderly people participating in sports. At the same time, it uses questionnaire surveys and mathematical statistics to find out the common main obstacles hindering the participation of the elderly in sports in Chinese cities. Results: Keeping fit is the primary purpose of older urban people participating in sports. Walking, Tai Chi, square dancing, etc., are the primary sports for the elderly. Conclusion: Most older adults still participate in physical exercises in independent forms or self-organized small groups. Under the concept of physical fitness, the elderly are more active in physical exercise. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

Abstract:

This study compared the relationship between social participation, including work, and incidence of functional decline in rural and urban older people in Japan, by focusing on the number and types of organizations older people participated in. The longitudinal data of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) that followed 55,243 individuals aged 65 years or older for six years were used. The Cox proportional hazards model was employed to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) of the incidence of functional decline over six years and the stratification of rural and urban settings. In this model, we adjusted 13 variables as behavioral, psychosocial, and functional confounders. The more rural and urban older people participated in various organizations, the more they were protected from functional decline. Participation in sports (HR: rural = 0.79; urban = 0.83), hobby groups (HR: rural = 0.76; urban = 0.90), and work (HR: rural = 0.83; urban = 0.80) significantly protected against the incidence of decline in both rural and urban areas. For both rural and urban older people, promoting social participation, such as sports and hobby groups and employment support, seemed to be an important aspect of public health policies that would prevent functional decline.

Abstract:

Background: Hallux valgus is a common condition that may lead to considerable pain and disability. There is also evidence that hallux valgus may impair balance and increase the risk of falling in older people. Although a number of plantar pressure studies have been undertaken in people with and without hallux valgus, little is known about how hallux valgus affects basic gait patterns or the movement of the upper body when walking. Methods: Measurements of temporospatial parameters of gait and acceleration patterns of the head and pelvis were obtained in 71 people (24 men, 47 women) between 75 and 93 (mean 80 ± 4) years of age when walking on both a level surface and a specially designed irregular walkway. Foot problems, vision, peripheral sensation, strength, and reaction time also were evaluated. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, subjects with moderate to severe hallux valgus were found to exhibit significantly reduced velocity and step length on both walking surfaces and less rhythmic acceleration patterns in the vertical plane when walking on the irregular surface compared to subjects with no or mild hallux valgus. Conclusion: These findings indicate that hallux valgus has a significant detrimental impact on gait patterns that may contribute to instability and risk of falling in older people, particularly when walking on irregular terrain.

Abstract:

Adapted sports (AS) allows the physical activity level to increase in groups such as people with disabilities, pregnant women, children and older people. AS modifies conventional sports' formal structure to make them accessible. This study aimed to analyse the trend followed by the annual publications on this topic and identify the most productive and cited authors, journals, and countries with the highest number of publications, the most cited documents and the most used keywords. The search was conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) and traditional bibliometric laws were applied. A total of 398 documents were identified. The annual publications followed an exponential growth trend (R2=89.5%). "Influence of Adapted Sport on Quality of Life: Perceptions of Athletes with Cerebral Palsy" was the most cited document. The categories of most interest to researchers were Sports Science and Rehabilitation. The journal with the higher number of publications was Retos-Nuevas Tendencias en Educación Física, Deportes y Recreación. The USA had the highest number of published documents (122 documents) and citations (973), leading extensive research networks worldwide. A total of 1270 authors have published on this topic, using "adapted sport", "adaptive sport", "disability, and "physical activity" as the most used keywords. Makhov (12 documents) was the most prolific co-author, and Lundberg was the most cited. Keywords: Adaptive Sport; Modified Sport; Disability; Physical Activity; Exercise.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the impact of fitness classes with elements of sports dancing on the development of coordination abilities in children 6-8 years, to identify the relationship between wellness activities with elements of sports dance and indicators of physical development of older preschool children. Research methods - theoretical analysis of special scientific and methodological literature and documentary materials, anthropometric research methods, pedagogical methods (experiment, observation, fitness testing), methods of mathematical statistics. Anthropometric studies involved children 6-8 years of age engaged in fitness with elements of sports dancing (24 people). By means of pedagogical methods, the influence of wellness fitness classes with elements of sports dances on the development of coordination abilities of older preschool children was determined. The study identified the age at which children of pre-school age are most involved in exercising children's fitness with elements of sports dancing. The relationship between wellness activities with elements of sports dance and indicators of physical development of older preschool children is established. The factors that positively influence the development of coordination abilities of older preschool children engaged in fitness with elements of sports dance have been identified. According to the results of the experiment, it was found that fitness classes with elements of sports dance significantly contribute to the development of coordination abilities in children of older preschool age.
