“…Studies carried out among students have also found their place in the assessment of physical activity of various social groups [8,11,12,13]. The international rank of the IPAQ questionnaire is best evidenced by the fact of its validation in many countries worldwide [14,15,16,17].…”

Determining the state of physical activity of societies as an important component of a health promoting life style is a very up-to-date problem. Studies of physical activity among students, the future elites in their environments, become of increasing importance. An important problem is the recognition of factors differentiating this activity on the example of place of residence. For this purpose, the study covered 2,125 students (60.8% females and 39.2% males) from the National Institute in Lutsk, Ukraine, aged 17-22 (mean age: 20.4). The method of a diagnostic survey was applied which included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The following measures of physical activity according to the place of residence (rural area, small town with a population up to 100,000; medium-size town -100,000-200,000 inhabitants; large city -over 200,000) were taken into consideration: level of physical activity, self-reported physical fitness, sports disciplines practiced by the respondents, and those which they would like to practice, and the BMI, and leisure time possessed. The study showed that the place of residence positively differentiated physical activity among students from medium-size towns and rural areas, compared to their contemporaries from small towns and large cities. Significant differences were also found with respect to the BMI, which was significantly less favourable among respondents from the rural environment. However, no differences were observed between the place of residence for leisure time, self-reported physical activity, and forms of physical activity practiced, and those which the respondents would like to practice.

“…The inclusion criteria were as follow: Age of 18 to 30 years, body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-24.9 kg/m 2 and minimal daily activities measured by an IPAQ questionnaire [24]. All subjects with smoking history, cardiopulmonary diseases, neuromuscular diseases, pregnant women and any recent thoracoabdominal surgeries were excluded (68.35%) out of the excluded sample, 40.7% were overweight, while 12.9% were under weight.…”

Introduction: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) devices improve respiratory muscle strength, endurance and exercise capacity on healthy subjects. Because of the limited availability of the effect of IMT devices on healthy subjects with minimal activity level, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of POWERbreath-plus® and Threshold IMT® on healthy subjects by measuring pre and post Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) and Mandatory Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) and to compare their effectiveness.

“…A behavioural risk factor surveillance system does not exist in Russia, but several surveys on physical activity behaviour of the population have been conducted during the last decade. From 2000 to 2002 three Russian cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg and Tver City, located between the other two) conducted a random-sample survey using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (Zabina et al, 2002). In this study, less than 15% of residents reported low levels of physical activity (figure 2).…”

Physical activity promotion in the health care setting in Switzerland

The role of regular physical activity for population health has been clearly documented. Improvements in population levels of physical activity require long-term implementation of a combination of measures, including the evidence based approaches described in the “seven best investments for physical activity” (www.globalpa.org.uk): whole-of-school programmes, transport, urban planning, integration of physical activity promotion into primary health care systems, public education, community-wide programmes, sport for all. The health care setting has a particular role in this context, particularly in its access to physically inactive individuals. Switzerland has seen a number of successful research projects in this field, but there has been no wide adaptation of these approaches in the medical community. In recent years, a group of institutions including the Swiss College of Primary Care Medicine, the Policlinique Médicale Universitaire in Lausanne, the Ligue Vaudoise contre les Maladies Cardiovasculaires and the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine of the University of Zurich have therefore focussed on the development of a physical activity counselling approach based on international evidence as well as on established tools, but streamlined to the specific demands of primary health care providers in Switzerland. PAPRICA (Physical Activity Promotion in Primary Care, www.paprica.ch) has been the result of these developments, and nearly 300 health professionals, most of them primary care physicians, have been successfully trained so far. PAPRICA is implemented together with the Swiss Society for Sports Medicine and a number of regional partners. The development of a national programme structure is currently under preparation. This will allow Switzerland to explore and better use the potential of physicians and other health professionals in the promotion of physical activity and in the fight against non-communicable diseases.
