Abstract-The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the efficacy of an extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) in decreasing chronic pain in fibromyalgia (FM) patients. Thirty-seven females were recruited and randomized into two groups: one group was first exposed to systemic ELF-MF therapy (100 microtesla, 1 to 80 Hz) and then to sham therapy, and the other group received the opposite sequence of intervention. Pain, FM-related symptoms, and the ability to perform daily tasks were measured using the Visual Analog Scale, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Fibromyalgia Assessment Scale (FAS), and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) at baseline, end of first treatment cycle, beginning of second treatment cycle (after 1 mo washout), end of second treatment cycle, and end of 1 mo follow-up. ELF-MF treatment significantly reduced pain, which increased on cessation of therapy but remained significantly lower than baseline levels. Short-term benefits were also observed in FIQ, FAS, and HAQ scores, with less significant effects seen in the medium term. ELF-MF therapy can be recommended as part of a multimodal approach for mitigating pain in FM subjects and improving the efficacy of drug therapy or physiotherapy.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov; "Very low frequency magnetic fields in the treatment of fibromyalgia": NCT02231541;https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/ NCT02231541?term=NCT02231541&rank=1

“…There are a considerable number of published studies that strongly support the benefits of physical activity in children, including: obesity and overweight prevention, healthy bones and muscles, chronic disease prevention, self-esteem improvement, and anxiety and stress reduction (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Recent studies indicated that physical activity can improve academic performance and increase school achievements, and students may be more efficient learners after physical activity performance (6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

Background: There are a considerable number of published studies that strongly support the benefits of physical activity in children, and to achieve such benefits, guidelines recommend children to participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. There is a vicious cycle between low physical activity and increased body mass index. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess daily physical activity and sedentary behavior in overweight and obese children. Patients and Methods:In this descriptive analytical study, 300 overweight and obese children were recruited to assess their daily physical activity, energy expenditure and screen times with standard techniques. Distribution of these variables was examined according to their demographic characteristics. Using Pearson's correlation test and linear regression the predictor effect between these variables was discovered. Results: There was a significant difference between physical activity and screen time according to Relative Body Mass Index (RBMI), gender and grade (P ≤ 0.001). Pearson's correlation test discovered a positive association between Weekly Screen Time (WST) and Daily Physical Activity (DPA) (r ≈ 0.37, P ≤ 0.001). In the regression model, children's screen time explained only about 13% of change in body mass index. Conclusions: Overweight and obese children may consume more energy according to the international recommendations. In parallel with this, they experience more sedentary behavior, as well. In this situation, planning to decrease their sedentary behavior is at greater priority.
