“…Physical activity and its impact on population health is one of the problems actively studied in the field of physical education. Studies of the lev-el of physical activity and its impact on the quality of life of adult population showed that the highest levels of physical activity positively affect the quality of life (Bădicu, & Balint, 2016;Bădicu, 2018). Physical education of schoolchildren aims at optimizing the child's physical development (Balsevich, 2000;Novak, Podnar, Emeljanovas, Marttinen, 2015), improving the process of motor skills development and teaching physical ex- ISSN 1993-7989 (print).…”

The study objective is to determine the possibility of identifying the state of strength abilities development in boys aged 12-14, using the methodology of multidimensional statistics. Materials and methods. The study involved boys: 12 (n =35), 13 (n = 36), 14 (n = 36) years old. The study used the following methods: analysis and collation of scientific and methodological literature, general scientific methods of theoretical level, such as analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction, as well as general scientific methods of empirical level: observation, testing, experiment. The testing program included well-known tests. Results. In identifying the state of motor abilities development in boys aged 12-14, the most important results were obtained in tests: 10 “Squats Test (two legs), quantity of times” (0.519), 9 “Trunk Lift Test, quantity of times” (0.497), 21 “Flamingo Balance Test - single leg balance test” (-0.496), 1 “Pull-Up / Chin Up Test (low crossbar), quantity of times” (0.428), 19 “Hand Tapping Test, sec.” (-0.427), 20 “Seated Forward Bend, cm” (-0.412), 5 “The subject lies in prone position, arms bent at the elbow 90 degrees - hold position in seconds” (0.408). These tests characterize the comprehensive development of motor abilities in boys aged 12-14. In identifying the state of motor abilities development in boys aged 13-14, the most important results were obtained in tests: 8 “Decline Reverse Crunch on Bench, quantity of times” (-0.989), 11 “Single Leg Squat (SLS) Test - right leg, quantity of times” (0.965), 1 “Pull-Up / Chin Up Test (low crossbar), quantity of times” (0.676), №13 “Single Leg Squat (Pistol) - right leg” (0.682), 17 “Eurofit Sit Up Test (for 30 sec.), quantity of times” (0.454). These tests characterize the development level of relative and static leg strength, strength endurance of abdominal muscles, and dynamic strength of shoulder muscles. Conclusions. A discriminant analysis made it possible to determine informative indicators for comprehensive control of motor abilities development in boys aged 12-14; to answer the question as to how significantly the states of motor abilities development in boys aged 12, 13 and 14 differ; what motor tests most substantially influence the differentiation of classes; what class the object belongs to based on the values of discriminant variables. To identify the level of motor abilities development in boys aged 12-14 years, it is necessary to focus on the indicators of relative strength and strength endurance; in boys aged 13 and 14 years – on the indicators of strength endurance of abdominal muscles and endurance of leg muscles.

Purpose:The purpose of the study is to determine the possibility of recognizing the state of power abilities development in girls aged 12-14 years based on the methodology of multidimensional statistics. Material:The study involved girls: 12 (n =21), 13 (n = 20), 14 (n = 19) years old. Conclusions:Discriminant analysis allowed to determine informative indicators for cross-control of the development of power abilities in girls aged 12-14 years; answer the question of how significantly the state of development of power abilities in girls of 12, 13 and 14 years is different; which motor tests most significantly affect the differentiation of classes; which class the object belongs to (based on the values of discriminant variables). In order to recognize the level of development of power abilities in girls aged 12-14 years, it is necessary to be guided by the indicators of relative and static strength and strength endurance; at girls of 13 and 14 yearsstrength endurance.

“…Behavioural factors are also associated with reduced HRQoL in elderly people. 9,10 Several researchers have recently investigated the social and psychological effects on elderly Chinese people of living alone or with a spouse, but without the support of extended family. 11 However, most of these studies have focused on rural communities or the psychological effects of living unsupported.…”

Health-related quality of life among elderly individuals living alone in an urban area of Shaanxi Province, China: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2020

Objectives: To describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL), sex differences in HRQoL, and factors affecting the HRQoL of elderly people living alone in urban areas of Shaanxi Province, China. Methods: A cohort was obtained using multistage stratified cluster random sampling. We collected cross-sectional data using surveys. HRQoL was measured using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey. Multivariable multilevel linear regression analysis was used to examine factors associated with mental and physical health component summary scores. Results: Overall, 442 elderly Chinese individuals who lived alone completed the survey (mean age 73 years, women: 59%). Women were more likely to report better mental health than men. Factors significantly associated with reduced mental health scores were older age, having never been married or being divorced, and having a history of cancer, urinary tract disease, fractures or gastrointestinal disorders. Factors associated with physical health were having never been married or being divorced and having hypertension.
