The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence leisure-time physical activity to promote public health among (KSA) university male students. Methods: This study employed Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and other databases to examine studies on the most common components in leisure-time physical research. These and other databases made it possible to find relevant theses in the study's area of interest. Results: This study identified 7 factors that might improve leisure-time physical activity to promote public health. They are as follows: (human resources, the culture of the society, facilities, financial, tools, programs, and policies). Universities should therefore play a part in boosting students' motivation to participate in LTPA by building more locations where students can access integrated sports facilities, tools, and human resources. They should also consider offering financial support to athletes who have achieved particularly high levels of success. In addition, special attention should be paid to the type and nature of the programs that are offered to students. Conclusion: This study suggests that other factors, such as psychological and built-environmental resources, university-offered programs, cultural and health, should be taken into account when formulating legislation. Together, this would help us determine the best practices for encouraging male students to participate more on campus.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43941340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem of physical education of pupil’s and student’s youth is relevant at the present stage of the development of health tourism. Adaptive physical education is an important factor in the rehabilitation of students who have limited physical health opportunities. We admit that the implementation of the program of health measures to organize the physical activity of students using the natural sedative factors of health tourism will have a great impact on the physical and mental development, social and psychophysical condition of students. Purpose: The purpose of the research is to substantiate the scientific and pedagogical aspects of the reproductive method of adaptive physical education of the student youth with special needs using health tourism. Involvement of this category of students in physical education to determine the social significance of adaptive physical culture in renewed and maintaining the state of physical and psychological health of people with special needs. Approach: A set of complementary methods by the assigned task is used in the work. Analysis and generalization of domestic and world experience on the problem of renewal and rehabilitation by methods and means of adaptive physical culture were carried out. The scientific special literature was analyzed on the problems of applying means of physical culture, on the complex resumption of physical health. Students of non-physical education institutions of higher education in Kharkiv took part in the research. The questionnaire survey technique is used in the experiment. In this method, we used the questionnaire that consists of 8 questions and was applied to up to 60 individuals regardless of gender. Results: The reproductive method of adaptive physical education is aimed at improving the knowledge in physical rehabilitation and forming the skills of persons with special needs to use natural factors for body resumption. The introduction of a mental-conceptual model increased awareness of health tourism means and methods by 18,5% (t=2,41; p<0,01). Psychological comfort after the proposed measures to preserve the state of physical and psychological health of students with special needs improved by 61,3% (t = 3,47; p<0,001).

Despite its popularity, there is conflicting evidence for its effectiveness. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to update the current evidence base on the effectiveness of tele rehabilitation for stroke. Objective: We aimed to provide an updated systematic review on the efficacy of tele-rehabilitation interventions for stroke survivors. Method: PubMed, Google scholar, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane Library were searched, and the studies which were RCT, had tele-rehabilitation interventions, Published in English language, had moderate to high methodological quality (PEDro scoring 5 or more than 5). Results: Out of 218 studies, 04 randomised controlled trials met the eligibility criteria and quality assessment and were selected for the present systematic review. A diverse range of interventions were delivered through a variety of tele rehabilitation systems. Summarized findings from the heterogeneous evidence base indicate that tele rehabilitation may have a positive impact on a range of primary and secondary outcomes. Conclusion: Tele rehabilitation, as an alternate form of rehabilitation for people with stroke, shows potential. This updated systematic review provides evidence to suggest that tele-rehabilitation interventions have either better or equal salutary effects. However, due to methodological and practical concerns, an unequivocal recommendation cannot be made. Findings from this review may inform future policies and practices regarding the use of tele rehabilitation for stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43229126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although several studies have reported an indirect relationship between physical activity and severity of depression in women across cultures and age groups, other studies have failed to establish this relationship. In this study we aim to analyse whether certain clinical and demographic variables can explain this discrepancy. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 1096 women aged 15 to 69 years who participated in the National Health Survey in Spain 2017. The chi-square test was used for qualitative variables and a logistic regression was used to determine association between PA and depression with sociodemographic characteristics. To assess possible mediation of each clinical and health variable in the association between depression and physical activity, we used the KHB command in Stata. Results: Both the crude model and models adjusted for clinical and socio-demographic variables indicated a positive association between low PA and depression. The KHB decomposition indicates that 62.21% of the association between low physical activity and depression is associated with mediational variables. Self-perception of health and the polypharmacy were the primary contributors to the mediation. Conclusion: This study supports the conclusion that depression is related to lower levels of physical activity in women. Self-perception of health and polypharmacy mediate this relationship. These results have implications for professionals who are developing interventions aimed at increasing physical activity in women experiencing depression.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43824416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
