“…This increased flexibility allows 8–to 9-year-olds to perform a wider range of movements while reducing the risk of overuse or injury ( Yang et al, 2022 ; Behm et al, 2023 ; Zvetkova et al, 2023 ). Activities that promote flexibility, such as stretching and yoga, can help maintain healthy joints and muscles while promoting awareness of the importance of regular physical activity (PA) ( Chan et al, 2023 ; Y; Cho et al, 2023 ). Developing flexibility during this stage lays the foundation for more agile and adaptable physicality, which is important for both recreational and functional movements ( Tsao et al, 2022 ; Zinelabidine et al, 2022 ).…”

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 16-week school-based physical activity (PA) intervention on physical fitness (PF) (speed, hand-eye coordination, flexibility) of 8– to 9-year-olds.Methods: A total of seventy-eight boys and girls (boys: n = 45, aged 8.4 ± 4.9 years; girls: n = 42, aged 8.6 ± 0.5 years) from a school in Slovenia were randomly assigned to either a group with an after-school PA program (EXP) or a control group (CON) that participated exclusively in mandatory physical education (PE). The EXP group engaged in the extracurricular PA program for 60 min twice a week for 16 weeks, concurrent with regular PE classes. The program primarily involved elementary PE games that included elements of athletics (e.g., skipping, push- off running, hopping, crossstepping, and jumping) and gymnastics (e.g., handstand, forward roll, backward roll, hand support jumps, squat jump on a vault box, climbing on horizontal bars, incline benches and ropes, crawling, and jumping rope). Standardized tests appropriate for this age group were used to assess PF, including the sit and reach test (SAR), the 30-meter sprint, and the alternate hand wall toss test at distances of 1.0 and 2.0 m (AHWT 1.0 and 2.0).Results: There was a significant group-time interaction for SAR test (EXP group increase: +1.6 cm, +6.3%; CON group decrease: −0.1 cm, −0.4%; p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.361), and the 30 m sprint (EXP group improvement: −0.4 s, −6.3%; CON group decrease: +0.1 s, +1.6%; p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.193). Similarly, the EXP group improved by +2.1 points (+25.6%) in the 1.0 m wall throw with the alternating hand, while the CON group showed only minimal changes (−0.2 points, −2.4%; p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.545). No significant interaction was found for the 2.0 m toss (EXP and CON group both −0.1 points, −2.6%; p = 0.888, ηp2 = 0.001). Post-hoc analyses with paired t-tests revealed that the EXP group showed significant improvements in SAR test (p < 0.001), 30 m sprint (p < 0.001) and AHWT 1.0 test (p < 0.001), while the CON group showed no significant changes in SAR test (p = 0.533), 30 m sprint (p = 0.150), AHWT 1.0 test (p = 0.186) and AHWT 2.0 test (p = 0.430).Discussion: The results of the study showed that the extracurricular program with only two additional weekly sessions significantly improved the components of PF in 8- to 9-year olds. Significant improvements were observed in the areas of flexibility, speed and coordination, as shown in the SAR test, 30-meter sprint and 1.0-meter handwall toss tests. However, no similar improvements were observed in the 2.0-meter handwall toss, which illustrates the specific areas of impact of the program.

Background In Korea, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasingly prevalent among adults with hypertension, of which approximately 30% of the population is affected. Despite the recognized benefits of adherence to physical activity (PA) recommendations, including aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities (MSA), the impact of such adherence on the prevalence of CKD in individuals with hypertension has not been extensively studied. This study aimed to investigate the association between aerobic PA and MSA levels, and the prevalence of CKD in individuals with hypertension. Methods This study included 5,078 individuals with hypertension using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019–2021). PA levels were measured as min/week of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) based on self-reports, and MSA was quantified as the number of days per week. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m². Logistic regression analysis evaluated the association between meeting PA guidelines and CKD after adjusting for potential confounders. Additionally, a joint analysis was conducted to assess the combined effects of MVPA and MSA on CKD. Results After adjusting for all covariates, higher MVPA was associated with a lower prevalence of CKD. Compared to the group with inactive, the group with MVPA 1–149 min/week had an odds ratio (OR) of 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–1.05), the group that met the MVPA 150–299 min/week criteria had an OR of 0.85 (95% CI, 0.62–1.17), and the group that met the MVPA ≥ 300 min/week criteria had an OR of 0.53 (95% CI, 0.37–0.76). MSA alone did not show a significant association with CKD. In the joint analysis, the group that met the MVPA and MSA guidelines had the lowest OR of 0.54 (95% CI, 0.34–0.86), compared to the group that did not meet either. Conclusions MVPA was associated with the prevalence of CKD in participants with hypertension but not in those with MSA alone. However, compared with the group that did not meet both guidelines, the group that met both guidelines showed the lowest prevalence of CKD.
