“…The FITT principle was a mnemonic highly known in the field of physical education which stands for Frequency (how often), Intensity (how much or how hard), Time (duration or how long), and Type (mode or what kind) [18]. Exercise can be personalized for everyone using the FITT approach to meet lifestyle and health needs [19].…”

Background and Study Aim. Students’ physical well-being is highly affected throughout the quarantine period. The effects of it towards the performance in Physical Education is examined due to the sudden shift of educational setting. More specifically, it sought to determine the impact of physical activity performed during the quarantine period based on the FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) principle of exercise on the physical well-being of the students as well as the relationship of the two variables. Materials and Methods. The study was participated by 1,648 students at Cebu Normal University who, used an online survey, answered a 34-items questionnaire with dichotomous questions. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was utilized. Results. The study yielded 5 major results. The students' smoking habits have no impact on their engagement to physical activity when applying the FITT principle to distant learning. The students' dietary habits do not influence their engagement in physical activity related to distant learning when the FITT principle is used. When the FITT principle is utilized, students' BMI has nothing to do with their engagement in physical activity associated with distant learning. Students who engaged in physical activity spent less time engaging in these sedentary pursuits. University students were more likely to follow a normal eating routine, and aware more likely not to engage in unhealthy behaviors like smoking cigarettes, and were more active in other physical activities like doing household chores during the quarantine period. Conclusions. The study found out that physical well-being has a considerable negative impact on undergraduates' physical education achievement. Thus, the FITT principle has no impact on any participation in physical activities during distance learning.

Background and Study Aim. As a result of the recognition of women's football in the world and the growing popularity of female footballers, the healthy eating of female footballers and their status towards exercise have also become a major research topic. The aim of this study is to investigate the attitudes of female soccer players towards healthy eating and their sports addiction. This study aimed to assess female footballers' attitudes toward healthy eating and exercise addiction based on age, league, position, active sports year, training status and number of exercises per week, and examine female football players' attitudes toward healthy eating and exercise addiction. Material and Methods. The sample group of the study consists of 167 female soccer players who are active in the Turkish women's soccer leagues 2021-2022. The data collection instruments "Personal Information Form", "Healthy Eating Attitude Scale" and "Exercise Addiction Scale" were used for the study. Independent samples t-test was used for binary comparisons for scale scores and single factorial ANOVA and Tukey HSD test for multiple comparisons. Results. When the study examined mean healthy eating attitude scores, there were no differences in educational status, age, and active sports year, while league, position, and weekly exercise were not found. Variables for exercise dependence were not identified. Conclusions. Therefore, based on the data obtained, the sample group concluded that there was a small, nonsignificant relationship between attitudes and exercise dependence on healthy eating. It can be said that female footballers may have improved their performance and development as a result of increasing their awareness of healthy eating and adoption of female footballers that exercise addiction interacts with healthy eating.

Background: Despite improvements in treatment and early diagnosis people with lung cancer are not living as long as people with other cancers. Therefore, good symptom management and improved quality of life is a priority in this patient group. The more common symptoms of lung cancer; breathlessness, fatigue and depression can be improved by improving patients' physical functioning. However, current health care services have limited capacity to provide this support. One way to address this issue of health care resources is to empower patients to self-manage their condition using electronic health technologies. Objective:The purpose of this review was to locate and assess available research on technologies that support the person with lung cancer to improve or maintain their physical functioning and/or their quality of life.Methods: Six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Medline, SPORTDiscus and PsychInfo) were searched from January 1990 to April 2023. Studies were suitable for inclusion if; study participants included people with lung cancer over the age of 18, participants were exposed to a physical activity, exercise or a training intervention that was delivered via an electronic or web-based application with or without a comparator. Furthermore, the study must have reported on the impact of the intervention on physical function and/or quality of life. Studies that focused on telemedicine without an online intervention were excluded. The GRADE system was used to assess the quality of included papers. Due to the heterogeneity of the studies a narrative synthesis was undertaken.Results: This review is reported in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Seven hundred and ninety-four papers were initially identified through our search; following screening eight papers were confirmed suitable for inclusion in the review. Two papers reported on different stages of the same study therefore only seven studies were included in our analysis. Studies were undertaken between 2010-2018 across multiple countries. Included studies aimed to develop a technology and /or test the technology's feasibility or acceptance. Seven technologies identified included web-based apps, native apps, or gaming consoles. Studies demonstrated impact on walking distance, muscle strength, balance, symptoms of dyspnoea and cancer related fatigue. Quality of life scores also showed improvement. Conclusions:The findings indicate that electronic health apps are generally acceptable to people with lung cancer and can positively impact their physical functioning and wellbeing. However, there are limited studies that demonstrate the impact of these digital interventions over longer periods. None of the studies report on the implementation or adoption of the mobile or electronic health intervention in routine clinical practice highlighting the need for further research in this area. Clinical Trial: Not a trial but has been registered on the PROSPERO data base. Registration number CRD42023414094
