“…This is supported by the unchanged self‐reported amount of time spent on strenuous exercise. In addition, patients self‐reporting exercise habits are prone to over‐reporting (Taber et al., ; Hekler et al., ; Flannery et al., ). Thus, in spite of motivation and increased physical function RYGB patients do not incorporate regular exercise in their daily lives.…”

“…() unchanged objectively measured low‐to‐moderate intensity physical activity. Patients self‐reporting exercise habits are prone to over‐reporting (Taber et al., ; Hekler et al., ; Flannery et al., ) and participation in regular exercise is needed to increase the cardiorespiratory fitness level. However, objectively measured whole‐body maximal oxygen uptake rates and exercise habits are not well investigated in patients undergoing RYGB.…”

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) leads to a major weight loss in obese patients. However, given that most patients remain obese after the weight loss, regular exercise should be part of a healthier lifestyle. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the cardiopulmonary fitness in obese patients before and after RYGB. Thirty-four patients had body composition and cardiopulmonary fitness (VO ) assessed and completed questionnaires regarding physical activity and function twice before RYGB (time points A and B) and 4 and 18 months after surgery (time points C and D). Weight loss was 37 ± 2 kg during the study period. VO increased (A: 21 ± 1 vs D: 29 mL/min/kg, P < 0.001), but absolute VO decreased (A: 2713 ± 126 vs 2609 ± 187 mL/min, P = 0.02) and VO per kilogram fat free mass did not change. Self-perceived limitations to perform exercise decreased and self-perceived physical fitness increased after RYGB. Self-reported low- and high-intensity physical activity did not change. With weight loss, self-rated fitness level increased and the limitations to perform exercise decreased in RYGB patients. Nevertheless, as shown by the lower absolute VO , RYGB patients do not adopt new exercise habits following surgery.

“…The total amount of moderate‐vigorous exercise that participants engaged in during a typical week in the past month was assessed using modified exercise questions from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS; CDC, ). BRFSS questions were modified in the present study to specifically capture planned moderate and vigorous exercise bouts (Cary, Gyurcsik, et al., ; Flannery, Burket, & Resnick, ; Gyurcsik et al., ; Kwon, Wang, & Hawkins, ). The modification also focused participants to report bouts that lasted 20+ min.…”

Research has identified concurrent self-regulatory efficacy as a consistent exercise predictor when adults pursue another non-exercise leisure time goal. Although intergoal conflict is an inconsistent exercise predictor, prior research did not ensure that goals were sufficiently highly valued to truly conflict. Other possible exercise predictors have not been examined among concurrent goals. The purpose was to examine whether intergoal conflict and outcome expectations (likelihood; value) predicted moderate-vigorous exercise over 1 month, beyond concurrent self-regulatory efficacy, when adults held highly valued, conflicting exercise and non-exercise goals concurrently. Eighty-seven adult exercisers pursuing highly valued and conflicting exercise and non-exercise goals completed online surveys assessing (1) concurrent self-regulatory efficacy, intergoal conflict, and outcome expectations at Time 1 and (2) exercise over the prior month at Time 2. A hierarchical multiple regression (R 2 adjusted = 0.24, p < .001) revealed intergoal conflict and outcome expectations accounted for a significant additional 13% of exercise variance, beyond selfregulatory efficacy. Future research should examine these social cognitions across adults who vary in their exercise levels (i.e., beginner, irregular, regular exercisers). Valuable information about which social cognitions should be targeted to improve exercise levels among each group to that of regular exercisers would result.

“…Several research studies have started to investigate the health conditions of medical doctors and nurses in order to find a relationship if any between their work environment, their usually heavy duties and the result of these two parametric on patients’ health ( 1 ). A research study undertaken in 2010 focusing on the attitudes of the medical doctors towards physical activity and the protection of their personal health in Estonia indicated that women physicians are far more prone to physical activity than their male colleagues.…”

“…In a recent study (2014) involving 40 Registered nurses and 31 nurses aids indicated that their physical activity level is matching the one proposed by WHO. But in the above-mentioned research there should be some bias due to the fact that nurses are not allowed to sit and relax for a long time during the performance of their everyday duties ( 1 ). Another parameter that seems to play an important role is the interchange of shifts in the nursing job.…”

Introduction: Several research studies have started to investigate the health conditions of medical doctors and nurses in order to find a relationship if any between their work environment, their usually heavy duties and the result of these two parametric on patients’ health Aim: The present research study is an effort to investigate the relationship between the physical activity and sleep disorders among health care professionals, particularly among medical doctors and nurses. Methods: Participants of the study were asked to fill a questionnaire which was a mixture of other internationally accredited questionnaires regarding physical activity level as well as sleeping functions. Data were collected among 204 physicians and nurses. The statistical analysis revealed a correlation between physical activity and some aspects of sleep disorders. Results: A total number of 204 questionnaires have been distributed to medical doctors and nurses working in public hospitals in Athens Greece from the middle of February until the middle of April 2020. The hospitals were assigned by the health authorities to the fight of the pandemic of COVID 19. The majority of the participants were women 71,3% and 28,7% were men. From a total of 204 half of them were medical doctors and half of them were nurses. 43% were married, 49% were single and 8% were divorced and there were no widows. Regarding the participant nurses, 43% had a university degree and 38,4% had a technological education degree. The results of the statistical analysis showed that there are positive correlations between the level of physical activity during the daily work and the free time of the participants with parameters that are related to sleep disorders. Conclusion: The sample of the study was not a large one but nevertheless a stressful situation such as is the epidemic of COVID19 can provide useful information in order to better understand the relationship between physical activity and sleeping disorders in such working conditions.
