“…However, the increasing number of research providing evidence on prophylactic and therapeutic effects of physical activity prove the opposite. Finally, every consideration leads to one fundamental question: Why do many people prefer passive lifestyle although they are aware of numerous advantages of motor activity (La Fontanie, 2008; Drygas et al, 2008; Martin, 2010)? To answer such a question, one must understand the meaning of limitations of the activity.…”

Technical development of human civilisation brings about a decrease of adaptation potential of an individual, which is directly linked to deficient motor activity. Only precise identification of factors leading to hypokinesia would make prophylactic and therapeutic actions possible. In this article, authors would like to introduce a new, original tool aiming at diagnosing limitations of motor activity in adults. They propose a synthetic diagnosis of hypokinesia in two domains: biological and psycho-social, which is based on the contemporary model of health.

“…Case study: Sofia, physical exercise and running clubs Countries from eastern Europe have lower rates of physical activity participation compared with other European Union (EU) states (Drygas et al, 2008). This is mirrored in Bulgaria, where recorded participation in physical exercise is low.…”

“…However, despite the warnings, participation rates in physical exercise are declining across Europe (Hallal et al, 2012). In particular, countries from former socialist eastern Europe have low levels of physical exercise, growing levels of obesity and limited public health resources (Drygas, Kwaśniewska, Kaleta, & Ruszkowska-Majzel, 2008). The growing rise in inactivity in Europe has led to calls for an improved understanding of how, why and in what ways physical activity is engaged in (Hagströmer, Bergman, Bauman, & Sjöström, 2006;Kohl et al, 2012).…”

Public health, physical exercise and non-representational theory – a mixed method study of recreational running in Sofia, Bulgaria

Non-representational approaches hold promise for critical theory in public health. At the same time, they also hold promise for practitioners looking to develop practical dimensions for interventions. This article examines physical activity in Sofia, Bulgaria, a country with low levels of physical activity participation, to draw attention to the potential of non-representational theory for public health. In doing so, this article explores recreational running clubs and runners in Sofia. The role of affect, objects and movement in running routines is used to think through the techniques and technologies of participation. The article concludes by outlining how embracing on openness to bodily movement in public health theory could be beneficial in attempts to improve participation rates in physical exercise.

“…Hochwertigen internationalen Studien zufolge könnte eine Veränderung des Ernährungs-und Bewegungsverhaltens 43-58 % der Diabetes-mellitus-Typ-II-Fälle verhindern [43]. Wichtig ist hier die Einbindung aller gesellschaftlichen Gestaltungsebenen [32], auch der Kommunen, denn die soziokulturellen Merkmale einzelner Wohnquartiere haben einen deutlichen Einfluss auf die Risikofaktoren Übergewicht, Nikotinkonsum, Bluthochdruck und Bewegungsmangel [44].…”

The Hamburg University Hospital (UKE), together with the German Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA), conducted a nationwide screening of obesity-related care. The screening was composed of two stages: Firstly, a short questionnaire of 150 items was developed and validated by experts. It comprised 14 summary criteria, derived from obesity care guidelines. The most important aspects of the providers' services were surveyed. This resulted in a description of intervention quality in 492 institutions or programs on a national level, controlled for representativity, and analyses of quality in specific institutional types. Secondly, a sample of 38 interventions was selected, using cluster analysis, and assessed in depth by means of the quality assurance system QIP (Quality in Prevention), extended to include obesity-related criteria from medical guidelines. The main results of the survey were as follows: Only 51.4 % of the guideline-based quality criteria were met by an average program. The costs of the various programs differed vastly but predicted the intervention quality only to a moderate degree. Two thirds of the programs were offered by outpatient care institutions. The screening documented that there was a lack of setting-related projects. On the basis of the findings, a registration system for projects and programs, based upon evidence-based quality criteria, is proposed. Furthermore, outpatient services and projects should be strengthened, and setting-based interventions should be developed, enhanced by a national strategy of obesity prevention on several policy levels, according to WHO recommendations.
