“…Of course this approach may have some elements and pathways in common with the approaches adopted by exercises like the system dynamics model in CASE or the somewhat peculiarly titled 'consensus' produced for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on the contribution of physical activity and sport to the health and fitness of young people (Mountjoy et al 2011). Mechanically they are similar, conceptually they differ.…”

Reviewing research evidence and the case of participation in sport and physical recreation by black and minority ethnic communities

The paper addresses the implications of using the process of systematic review in the many areas of leisure where there is a dearth of material that would be admitted into conventional Cochrane Reviews. This raises important questions about what constitutes legitimate knowledge, questions that are of critical import not just to leisure scholars, but to the formulation of policy. The search for certainty in an area that lacks conceptual consensus results in an epistemological imperialism that takes a geocentric form. While clearly there is a need for good research design whatever the style of research, we contend that the wholesale rejection of insightful research is profligate and foolhardy. A mechanism has to be found to capitalise on good quality research of whatever form. In that search we draw upon our experience of conducting a review of the material available on participation in sport and physical recreation by people from Black and minority ethnic groups. The paper concludes with a proposal for a more productive review process that makes better use of the full panoply of good quality research available.

“…Both the CASE review (Matrix 2010) and the IOC consensus statement (Mountjoy et al 2011) used experts within their review models and they could play a part here too, whether to identify suitable studies, in helping to formulate the programme theories or to check the credibility of conclusions.…”

“…Además una de las formas de AF que son las actividades deportivas, son importantes para el desarrollo personal psicomotor, social y moral. (13) Para estas edades la evidencia recomienda sesiones regulares de AF programada, moderada a vigorosa, de 60 o más minutos, tres o más días por semana, de tipos apropiados para el desarrollo que incluyen ejercicios de resistencia (para mejorar la fuerza en los grandes grupos musculares del tronco y las extremidades),ejercicios aeróbicos vigorosos (para desarrollar la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria, cardiovascular y metabólica, y prevenir los factores de riesgo de enfermedades),y ejercicios de carga de peso (para promover la salud ósea). (14) Debe recordarse que esta AF sólo es eficaz en la prevención y tratamiento del SyO si se asocia a una dieta saludable.…”

Una mirada desde la BioéticaThe problem of overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence. A look from Bioethics O problema do sobrepeso e a obesidade na infância e adolescência. Um olhar desde a bioética ResumenLa prevención, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento del sobrepeso y la obesidad, tienen componentes bioé-ticos que, a juicio de los autores, no han merecido suficiente análisis.En la niñez y adolescencia este encare tiene características diferentes que en la edad adulta, que hacen necesario un análisis específico.Este trabajo se propone identificar los componentes bioéticos más importantes del encare de este problema sanitario en estas edades, introducirlos en la consideración pública, y hacer algunos aportes de carácter inicial a su análisis, que no pretenden agotar el tema.Para ubicarse en la importancia del mismo, repasa los índices que definen el sobrepeso y la obesidad en la niñez y adolescencia, su prevalencia en América Latina, Uruguay y el Mundo, y los requerimientos en alimentación y en actividad física para ellas.Luego analiza las responsabilidades que en estas dos materias la ética marca a los diversos actores sociales (padres, educadores, profesionales de la salud, productores y comercializadores de alimentos y Estado), enumera las acciones éticamente deseables que derivan de esas responsabilidades, señala la existencia de factores que las circunscriben a los ámbitos de lo posible y lo realizable, y las contrasta con algunos ejemplos de acciones éticamente reprobables que se observan en la práctica.El trabajo finaliza con un inventario de lo que en Uruguay se ha hecho en esta materia y con el aná-lisis de en qué medida se ajusta a lo que marca la ética.

“…The IOC has already demonstrated its leadership capability in the establishment of programs such as Sport for All [95], Olympic Day Celebrations [96,97], IOC Medical Commission initiatives such as health and fitness for young people through physical activity and sports [98] and education programs [99][100][101], the Youth Olympic Games [102], and through its collaboration with the WHO [6] and the UN [7]. The Olympic Games and the Olympic brand itself are based on positive universal values, which give it a powerful, emotive and unique identity that transcends sport and resonates strongly with people of all ages and cultures from around the world [103].…”

Morbidity and mortality from preventable, noncommunicable chronic disease (NCD) threatens the health of our populations and our economies. The accumulation of vast amounts of scientific knowledge has done little to change this. New and innovative thinking is essential to foster new creative approaches that leverage and integrate evidence through the support of big data, technology, and design thinking. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the results of a consensus meeting on NCD prevention sponsored by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in April, 2013. Within the context of advocacy for multifaceted systems change, the IOC's focus is to create solutions that gain traction within health care systems. The group of participants attending the meeting achieved consensus on a strategy for the prevention and management of chronic disease that includes the following:1. Focus on behavioural change as the core component of all clinical programs for the prevention and management of chronic disease. 2. Establish actual centres to design, implement, study, and improve preventive programs for chronic disease. 3. Use human-centered design in the creation of prevention programs with an inclination to action, rapid prototyping and multiple iterations. 4. Extend the knowledge and skills of Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) professionals to build new
