Abstract
Background and Study Aim. Obesity is a metabolic disease characterised by excessive fat accumulation. Indonesia ranks second after Singapore with the largest number of obese adolescents. The study aimed to assess the impact of physical activity, eating behavior, and sleep quality on Body Mass Index (BMI) in adolescents.
Materials and Methods. This study was quantitative, with an ex post facto design. The study included 231 students (136 males, 95 females) aged 16-19 years, each with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 25.1. Participants were healthy and consented to the study by completing a screening questionnaire. The analysis was performed using regression techniques in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 software.
Results. The selected regression model is feasible and demonstrates that physical activity, diet, and sleep quality collectively influence students’ BMI (p-value < 0.001).  Furthermore, the analysis shows that physical activity (p-value < 0.001), diet (p-value = 0.019), and sleep quality (p-value < 0.001) independently affect students’ BMI.
Conclusions. We suggest that schools need to hold counseling programs in collaboration with relevant health workers to conduct counseling with the prevention of malnutrition, especially obesity. Provide additional tasks in the form of physical activity that students must do at home with parental supervision and the results will be reported to the teacher as an additional task value. Parents should also provide supervision of eating behavior and sleep patterns. For future researchers to be able to reveal other variables that can affect student BMI, because our report found only 49.90%.

Abstract
Aerobic exercise has been widely recognized as an efficacious intervention for enhancing students’ body mass index and waist circumference, particularly among individuals classified as overweight and obese. However, a comprehensive search for studies conducted within the context of higher education in the Indonesia yielded no existing research. This study investigates the impact of aerobic activities on male students aged 20 – 22 [(N21 YEARS OLD = 9(45.00%), N20 YEARS OLD = 7(35.00%), N22 YEARS OLD = 4(20.00%); age mean of mean = 20.85 ± 0.75] from a selected higher education institution in the country. The present study employed an experimental research methodology, utilizing a sample of male college students who were overweight or obese. The sample size was divided equally, with a total of 20 participants (N = 20). The participants engaged in a 12-week aerobic fitness regimen consisting of one-hour session, three times per week. Independent samples t-test was used to examine the difference in the performance of both groups in relation to their BMI and WC post-test scores, while paired t-test was employed to compare the difference in the pre-test and post-test scores on participants’ BMI and WC. Based on the results, a notable disparity in performance was detected between the two groups, with obese students demonstrating a considerable enhancement in their BMI [t(15.887) = −9.797, p < 0.05]. On the other hand, no significant difference was observed in the performance of the groups in terms of WC [t(16.665) = −0.505, p = 0.620]. A notable disparity was noted in the pre- and post-test scores of the participants’ BMI and WC subsequent to engaging in a 12-week regimen of aerobic exercise, both in a general sense (BMI [t(19) = 14.439, p < 0.05 and WC t(19) = 14.333, p < 0.05) and within each group [Overweight: BMI t(9) = 14.488, p < 0.05] and WC t(9) = 15.057, p < 0.05; Obese: BMI t(9) = 7.922, p < 0.05] and WC t(9) = 7.746, p < 0.05]. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that involving male students who are overweight or obese in a meticulously planned aerobic exercise regimen has the potential to yield substantial improvements in their BMI and WC. This, in turn, may lead to increased performance in physical activity. Limitations and future research endeavors are hereby presented.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(5); 102-107

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20B1DD

Abstract
The High-Intensity Interval Training program quickly became one of the most popular exercise regiments due to its ability to improve health by significantly impacting the body. This experimental study focused on determining the effectiveness of a 1-month High-Intensity Interval Training program to 10 selected clients which are classified as overweight and obese. Based on the findings, it was found that after participating in High-Intensity Interval Training for one month, most of the participants successfully reduced body measurements, vital signs, and body mass index. In terms of girth measurements, participants’ abdomen, chest and waist circumference improved significantly; while forearm and the legs have a slight significant difference. Based on blood pressure, it was observed that High-Intensity Interval Training may positively help to keep blood pressure in the normal range. However, no evidence to imply that this particular program can regulate it. Lastly, based on the pre- and post-test scores of the clients, it was observed that High-Intensity Interval Training program has a significant effect on the improvement on their girth measurement, vital signs, and body mass index. Performing a similar study to support or repudiate the claims of this study is highly recommended.

Abstract
Examining the impacts of blended and online learning settings on children’s fitness and body mass index in a sample of public elementary school pupils in the Philippines is the main objective of this study. A 16-week pre-test and post-test control group in a quasi-experimental approach. The experimental group received blended education, whereas the control group exclusively took classes online. The experimental and control groups consisted of 2 classes from an elementary school in Angeles and Mabalacat City. Anthropometrical characteristics were compared between groups using ANOVA. Pre-test and post-treatment body mass index percentiles and PA levels were compared using a paired t-test. First, there were no significant variance in the individuals’ anthropometrical characteristics between the two groups before intervention. Additionally, the blended learning group outperformed the online learning group on the post-test in terms of physical activity. After intervention, the mean BMI of the blended learning group decreased, but online students showed no improvement. Last but not least, when compared to the online learning group, the BMI percentile of the students in the blended learning group is within the usual range. The benefit of blended learning on the pupils’ physical composition was highlighted. Pupils’ levels of physical activity and body composition have improved as an outcome of the adjustment from traditional to online and blended learning settings. For the benefit of the students, it is advisable to make the most of a blended learning strategy and, if at all possible, return to the full face-to-face method.

Abstract
Aim. To find out the association between the anthropometric measurement, the physical activity, psychosocial level and endometriosis. Materials and Methods. Thirty women diagnosed as endometriosis and 30 age matched non endometriosis women were recruited. Anthropometric measurement – Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist hip ratio (WHR) was measured. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Beck Depression Inventory scale (BDI) were used to measure the physical activity level and the psychosocial level respectively. Results. There was a significant difference in BMI between the groups. The odds ratio and relative risk analysis of endometriosis showed that there is an association between increased BMI, WHR, BDI and the risk of endometriosis (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Increased Body mass index, Waist Hip Ratio and Beck depression score (BMI > 30, WHR > 0.85 and BDI > 16) are associated with increased risk of endometriosis.

Abstract
Background. The main aim of this work was the study of correlation between oxygen uptake (VO2max) estimated by the PWC 170 test and adiposity. Material and method. The study group consisted of 31 men, whose ages ranged from 18 to 51. Body composition was estimated by the method of J. Paoižkova. The degree of adiposity was estimated by BMI (kg/m2) and fat distribution according to the WHR index. In order to estimate cardio-pulmonary efficiency, the cyclometric PWC170 test was performed. Absolute and relative oxygen uptake was estimated on the basis of the intensity of workload. Results. The examined men had an average height of 177.8 ± 5.2 cm, weight 89.6 ± 13.8kg. The average BMI was 28.3 ± 4.4. Fatty tissue accounted for 29.2% (26.7 kg) of the total body weight (LBW was 70.2%). In this group of men, the maximal absolute oxygen uptake was 3071.7 ± 535.6ml/min, and the relative oxygen uptake was 34.8 ± 4.5 ml/kg/min. The highest positive correlation was obtained between absolute oxygen uptake and fatty tissue content in kg and % (r = 0.790 and r = 0.752), body mass (r = 0.717), hip circumference (r = 0.709), and BMI (r = 0.702). High negative correlation was obtained between the age of the examined men and the relative and absolute oxygen uptake (r = – 0.858 and – 0.504, respectively).

Bożena Jasiak-Tyrkalska, Jolanta Jaworek, Bogusław Frańczuk – Osteoporosis risk factors vs. BMD in post-menopausal women. Fizjoterapia Polska 2006; 6(2); 126-132

Abstract

Background. It is commonly known that the main characteristic feature of osteoporosis is bone brittleness, whose complications include fractures. Consequently the most important treatment objective is to prevent fractures by maintaining or increasing bone mass, to prevent falls and injuries, to reduce acute and chronic conditions and to improve physical, and psychosocial functions. The significance of increased physical activity as one of the protective factors that prevent bone fractures in an elderly age needs to be underscored. Osteoporosis becomes a not only a medical challenge, but also a social and economic problem. Such a dynamically growing problem is the reason behind the present paper whose aim is to show if and to what extent selected factors, such as age, body mass and physical activity influence bone mineral density (BMD) in post-menopausal women. Material and methods. 54 women participated in the study, median age 66.8 years. Bone mineral density was determined on the basis of a densitometric test, which was then juxtaposed with osteoporosis risk factors and correlations were analysed. On the basis of body mass and height of study participants the body mass index was calculated (BMI). Data concerning physical activity over the last dozen years or so was obtained during an interview. The level of physical activity was assessed using a four-grade scale developed by the author. Results. A statistically significant negative correlation was shown between BMD and the age of women participating in the study (p<0,01). A similar correlation was observed (p<0,01) between (BMD) an the BMI. A very high correlation (p<0,001) was shown between BMD and physical activity of women participating in the study. Conclusions. An important factor in osteoporosis prevention is physical activity. Age is not necessarily a risk factor in osteoporosis. Moderate overweight has a positive impact on BMD level.
