“…This finding supports previous longitudinal studies pointing to continued physical activity as conferring protection against depression in later life (Khalaila and Litwin 2014;Ku et al 2012;Strawbridge et al 2002;Teychenne et al 2008). It also reinforces research indicating a correlation between lack of physical activity and a high risk for depression (Byers et al 2012;Duivis et al 2011).…”

“…In longitudinal studies, physical inactivity and/or reduced intensity of physical activity in later life were risk factors for depression (Byers et al 2012;Duivis et al 2011;Strawbridge et al 2002). As shown by a systematic review of observational and intervention studies, physical activity of both short and long duration reduced the likelihood of depression (Teychenne et al 2008). In one longitudinal study, initial levels of physical activity were negatively associated with changes in depressive symptoms over time (Ku et al 2012).…”

The aim of the current study was to investigate the factors associated with depression statuses in a 10-year follow-up of community-dwelling older adults in Israel. Longitudinal data were used from the Israeli sample of the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, assessing the depressive symptoms in 1042 respondents, aged 50 or above, . Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the relationships among explanatory variables and depression statuses (no-depression, intermittent depression, or persistent depression). Some 46.5 % of the participants suffered from intermittent or persistent depression. Five factors were associated with increasing the probability of both intermittent and persistent depression: being female, unemployed, less educated, physically disabled, and in poor health. Five other explanatory variables were associated only with a higher risk for persistent depression: low family income, widowhood, physical inactivity, more than two chronic diseases, and cognitive dysfunction. According to these findings, depression is common among older people in Israel. Low socio-economic status and poor subjective and physical health are significant determinants of depression statuses over time, underlining the importance of taking measures to improve these conditions in order to reduce the risk of depression in old age.

“…Eine Vielzahl wissenschaftlicher Studien zeigt, dass die körperli-che Aktivität sowohl bei der Vermeidung vorzeitiger Sterblichkeit als auch bei der Vermeidung, Behandlung und Rehabilitation von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, Schlaganfall, Adipositas, Bluthochdruck, Diabetes mellitus Typ 2, Osteoporose, Rückenschmerzen und verschiedenen Krebserkrankungen eine wesentliche Rolle spielt [1,2,3,4]. Außerdem finden sich Hinweise darauf, dass regelmäßi-ge körperliche Aktivität zur Vorbeugung beziehungsweise Linderung von Depressionen beiträgt und den Erhalt der mentalen Fähigkeiten bis ins hohe Lebensalter unterstützt [1,5]. Auch der Sport ist mit gesundheitsförderlichen Potenzialen verbunden, die sich nicht nur über physiologische Prozesse, sondern auch im Zusammenhang mit der Stressregulation, der Ausformung personaler und sozialer Kompetenzen sowie der Entwicklung einer insgesamt gesünderen Lebensweise entfalten können [6,7].…”

“…There is a strong link between engagement in physical activity and improved cognition in children (Sibley & Etnier, 2003;Telford, Cunningham, Fitzgerald, Olive, Prosser, Jiang, & Telford, 2011;Telford, Telford, Cunningham, Cochrane, Davey, & Waddington, 2013). There is also evidence that participation in regular exercise can reduce or even prevent depression (Teychenne, Ball, & Salmon, 2008). Furthermore, at the other end of the age spectrum, research from the study of elderly participants on the plasticity in the brain demonstrates that "physical activity enhances cognitive and brain function, and protects against the development of neurodegenerative diseases" (Kramer & Erickson, 2007, p. 342).…”

Abstract. A renewed focus on Physical Education in New SouthWales primary schools has the potential to act as an intervention that has positive long-term implications for the whole population. The introduction of physical education (PE) as part of the National Curriculum means the role of PE in Australian primary schools is now open for renewed attention. The rise of an international obesity epidemic means that that the role of PE in primary schools has the potential to make a positive impact on public health outcomes. There could be significant long term savings from well-organized PE programs in primary schools delivered by teaching staff educated in quality physical education. In addition there is also an historical and emerging body of research which links physical activity to academic performance. However not all teachers in primary schools have the skills or life experiences to effectively teach PE. In order to achieve these outcomes we posit that the use of a Game Centered Teaching approach and the use of an underlying pedagogy have the potential to provide more meaningful experiences for students and teachers. In order to implement a Game Centered Teaching approach we advocate the use of specialist PE teachers rather than outsourcing the delivery of PE in schools Keywords: Physical activity; physical education; primary schools; pedagogy; quality teaching; game centred teaching. Resumen. Un emergente nuevo enfoque de la Educación Física (EF) para la Educación Primaria en Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia, tiene el potencial de generar una forma de intervención que puede traer consigo positivas consecuencias a largo plazo para toda la población. La introducción de la EF dentro del Currículo Nacional va a provocar que se preste una renovada atención sobre el papel de la EF en las escuelas primarias australianas. El incremento de la obesidad como epidemia internacional abre la puerta para que la EF en las escuelas primarias contribuya positivamente a la mejora de la salud pública. En este contexto, unos buenos programas de EF para la educación primaria, desarrollados por profesorado formado para impartir una EF de calidad, pueden dar lugar a beneficios significativos a largo plazo. Por otra parte, hay también un importante corpus de investigación, pasado y presente, que vincula la actividad física al rendimiento académico. No obstante, no todos los docentes de educación primaria poseen los conocimientos ni la experiencia que les permita impartir una EF de calidad. Con el fin de lograr los resultados esperados, proponemos un enfoque de la Enseñanza Centrada en el Juego (Game Centered Teaching) y la subyacente pedagogía porque tienen el potencial de proporcionar unas experiencias más significativas para estudiantes y profesores. Para poner en marcha dicho enfoque, abogamos porque los responsables de su desarrollo en las escuelas sean los docentes especialistas en EF -y no personal subcontratado externo-.Palabras clave.
