“…It seemed as if children misjudge the affordance of the gap to cross and their locomotion took longer to clear the roadway. This discrepancy of judgment and motorability between children and adults is consistent with the previous research on child cyclists' perception of affordance (Plumert et al, 2004) and is compatible with the concept that children make errors in perceiving affordances which might be a cause of childhood injuries (Plumert, 1995).…”

Road crossing is a perceptual-motor skill and becomes critical when to cross as a pedestrian. In the present study, we investigated gap affordance perception and crossing behavior of pedestrians when they crossed the gap between two vehicles. Children and young adults attempted to cross inter-vehicle gap while walking on a treadmill in a virtual environment. Participants crossed gaps between two vehicles facing various gap characteristics. We manipulated vehicle size, vehicle speed and gap time between two vehicles and examined participants' affordance of crossability evaluating transition points for different task constraints. Our results revealed that children had higher transition points than adults and crossability of both age groups influenced by gap characteristics. We conclude that children were more prone to unsafe crossings relative to adults and perception of affordance affected when the road-crossing environment become constrained.

“…[59][60][61] Because a large proportion of injury mechanisms resulting in forearm fracture are minor, these specific injuries may be less amenable to primary injury prevention strategies focusing on mechanism. 62 The unique public health aspects of forearm fracture injuries merit broadening the concept of injury prevention to include bone health promotion in at-risk pediatric populations.…”

Bone Mineral Density and Vitamin D Status Among African American Children With Forearm Fractures

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Forearm fractures are unique injuries which are associated with lower bone mineral density in adults and white children. The relationships among bone mineral density, 25-hydroxyvitamin D status, and risk for forearm fracture have not been investigated in African American children. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Our data support an association between both lower bone mineral density and vitamin D deficiency and increased odds of forearm fracture in African American children. Promotion of bone health is indicated in this population.abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine whether African American children with forearm fractures have decreased bone mineral density and an increased prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level #20 ng/mL) compared with fracture-free control patients. METHODS:This case-control study in African American children, aged 5 to 9 years, included case patients with forearm fracture and control patients without fracture. Evaluation included measurement of bone mineral density and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level. Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to test for associations between fracture status and 2 measures of bone health (bone mineral density and 25-hydroxyvitamin D level) while controlling for other potential confounders. RESULTS:The final sample included 76 case and 74 control patients. There were no significant differences between case and control patients in age, gender, parental education level, enrollment season, outdoor play time, height, or mean dietary calcium nutrient density. Cases were more likely than control patients to be overweight (49.3% vs 31.4%, P = .03). Compared with control patients, case patients had lower whole body z scores for bone mineral density (0.62 6 0.96 vs 0.98 6 1.09; adjusted odds ratio 0.38 [0.20-0.72]) and were more likely to be vitamin D deficient (47.1% vs 40.8%; adjusted odds ratio 3.46 [1.09-10.94]). CONCLUSIONS:These data support an association of lower bone mineral density and vitamin D deficiency with increased odds of forearm fracture among African American children. Because suboptimal childhood bone health also negatively impacts adult bone health, interventions to increase bone mineral density and correct vitamin D deficiency are indicated in this population to provide short-term and long-term benefits.

“…Las campañas para concienciar de que no se debe beber si se desea nadar, o que se debe ser cuidadoso cuando se está medicando, son muy habituales. No obstante, hay un aspecto que se ha analizado poco tanto en niños como en mayores Plumert, 1995Plumert, , 2003 y es el referido a la inadecuada valoración que hacen de sus propios recursos en relación a las demandas de la situación, lo que en muchas ocasiones tiene como consecuencia comportamientos osados y atrevidos que pueden llevar a situaciones difíciles e incluso fatales.…”

ResumenAntecedentes: La investigación ha demostrado que el ser humano puede aprender las habilidades acuáticas desde muy temprana edad. Desarrollar la competencia acuática se ha convertido en uno de los objetivos importantes a promover desde la más tierna infancia pero que dura todo el ciclo vital, y sus efectos en el organismo han sido constatados desde hace décadas. De ahí que afirmar que las prácticas acuáticas son beneficiosas es confirmar la necesidad de que estas actividades formen parte de las experiencias que todo ser humano debiera tener en su vida. Objetivos: El objetivo principal del presente artículo ha sido provocar una reflexión sobre el propio concepto e aprender a nadar y su significado en la infancia y las edades avanzadas. Resultados: El resultado más relevante que se decanta de lo analizado es la necesidad de cambiar de enfoque y de repensar los escenarios acuáticos de enseñanza y desarrollo de la competencia acuática. Conclusiones: Los escenarios acuáticos de enseñanza y desarrollo de la competencia acuática deberían ser un reflejo de la realidad a la que niños y mayores se van a enfrentar. Palabras clave: ciclo vital, natación, niños, personas mayores, enseñanza. Abstract Introduction:Research has shown that humans can learn aquatic skills from a very early age. Developing aquatic competence has become one of the important objectives to promote from the earliest childhood but lasts throughout the life cycle, and its effects on the organism have been verified for decades. Hence, to affirm that aquatic practices are beneficial is to confirm the need for these activities to be part of the experiences that every human being should have in his life. Goals: The main objective of the present article is to provoke a reflection on the concept of learning to swim and its meaning in childhood and the advanced ages. Results: The most relevant result of the analyzed is the need to change the focus and rethink the aquatic scenarios of teaching and development of aquatic competence. Conclusions: The aquatic scenarios of teaching and development of aquatic competence should be a reflection of the reality that children and adults will face. Keywords: life span, swimming, infants, elder people, teaching. ResumoIntrodução: A pesquisa mostrou que os seres humanos podem aprender habilidades aquáticas desde tenra idade.

Daí dizer que os exercícios de água são benéficos é para confirmar a necessidade de essas atividades fazem parte das experiências que cada ser humano deve ter em sua vida. Objetivos: Neste artigo, uma revisão de algumas questões que continuam a gerar decisões controvérsia e preocupação tiradas com os jovens e com os idosos, ao desenvolver sua concorrência aquáticos tanto feito.
