“…It is known that sports or recreational activities support the physical, psychological, social, and economic well-being of persons with disabilities, while inactivity poses many health risks such as musculoskeletal conditions, weight problems, personality disorders, and depression (19)(20)(21). Studies have also shown that individuals with physical disabilities can reduce these inactivity-related risks by exercising regularly (20)(21)(22). We observed that while BMI values of B and WCB group were in normal weight range, the NS group was at the pre-obesity level and thus, exposed to health risks associated with obesity.…”

Amaç: Spor, engelli bireylerin yaşam kalitesini artırmada önemli bir araçtır. Çalışmanın amacı değişik fonksiyonellik düzeyindeki fiziksel engelli bireylerin yaşam kalitelerinin sporla ilişkili olarak incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya düzenli olarak spor yapmayan (SY), Boccia (B) ve Tekerlekli sandalye basketbolu (TSB) oynayan toplam 36 fiziksel engelli birey katıldı. Engelli bireylerin gövde değerlendirmeleri Gövde Etkilenim Ölçeği (GEÖ) ile fonksiyonellik düzeyleri Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçeği (FBÖ) ile mobilite düzeyleri Rivermead Mobilite İndeksi (RMI) ile ve yaşam kaliteleri Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Zihinsel ve Fiziksel Engelliler İçin Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (WHOQOL-DIS) ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: SY, B ve TSB oynayanların GEÖ statik ve dinamik değerlendirmeleri arasında fark görülmedi (p>0,05), GEÖ-Koordinasyon puanları TSB oynayanlarda yüksek olduğu belirlendi (p

“…Physical inactivity is one of the leading health problems in the world. Exercise is important for rehabilitation, to enhance health, and for health maintenance, in addition to its role in conditioning for competitive sports [1][2][3]. Robust evidence shows that low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality.…”

Background Physical inactivity remains the largest risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Wearable devices have become a popular method of measuring activity-based outcomes and facilitating behavior change to increase cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and reduce weight. However, it is critical to determine their accuracy in measuring these variables. Objective This study aimed to determine the accuracy of using a smartphone and the application Myworkout GO for submaximal prediction of VO2max. Methods Participants included 162 healthy volunteers: 58 women and 104 men (17-73 years old). The study consisted of 3 experimental tests randomized to 3 separate days. One-day VO2max was assessed with Metamax II, with the participant walking or running on the treadmill. On the 2 other days, the application Myworkout GO used standardized high aerobic intensity interval training (HIIT) on the treadmill to predict VO2max. Results There were no significant differences between directly measured VO2max (mean 49, SD 14 mL/kg/min) compared with the VO2max predicted by Myworkout GO (mean 50, SD 14 mL/kg/min). The direct and predicted VO2max values were highly correlated, with an R2 of 0.97 (P<.001) and standard error of the estimate (SEE) of 2.2 mL/kg/min, with no sex differences. Conclusions Myworkout GO accurately calculated VO2max, with an SEE of 4.5% in the total group. The submaximal HIIT session (4 x 4 minutes) incorporated in the application was tolerated well by the participants. We present health care providers and their patients with a more accurate and practical version of health risk estimation. This might increase physical activity and improve exercise habits in the general population.
