“…Additionally, these outcomes corroborate the majority of the literature showing that 25%-35% of top 20 fitness trends are associated with exercise training for special populations and thus health-related trends systematically gain popularity in the global fitness industry [14,[16][17][18]. Taking these findings into account, it seems that the local fitness industry supports the scientific evidence underlining the critical role of structured exercise in health, performance and quality of life of individuals suffered from chronic conditions [34], including adults [35], and children with obesity [36] as well as elderly [37] and persons who regularly exercise in a clinical setting [13]. Specifically, our results may indicate that obesity and aging as two sides of the same coin promoting numerous comorbidities and age-related chronic conditions [38] appear to be attractive areas for the Greek fitness industry stakeholders.…”

The objective of this study was to identify the most important health/fitness trends while examining the impact of various demographics of respondents on the top trends for the first time in Greece. An online survey was sent to 3,487 professionals who worked in the health/fitness sector using the methodology of similar regional and worldwide studies extensively conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). A total of 542 responses were collected with a response rate of 15.5%. The ten most important trends were personal training, exercise is medicine, high-intensity interval training, small group training, and functional fitness, body weight training, exercise for weight loss, circuit training, strength training with free weights, and fitness programs for older adults. Health-related trends appear to be popular while technology-and mind/body-related trends seem not to be very attractive. Traditional exercise modes are still attractive and relevant, but specialized group training approaches are currently experiencing low popularity. Results also showed meaningful sex differences for 68% of the examined trends where female respondents reported higher scores. The main findings of this study are in line with those recently reported in the ACSM's European survey even though similar research design and data analysis are limited internationally.

“…The first component of the PIT is ‘exercise deficit disorder’, defined as a condition characterized by levels of physical activity that are below the current recommendations. 7 , 15 The term ‘exercise deficit disorder’ was originally chosen, above simply labelling someone as ‘inactive’, to emphasize the importance of this condition and to educate parents about the importance of daily physical activity. 14 , 15 …”

Physical activity and the ‘pediatric inactivity triad’ in children living with chronic kidney disease: a narrative review

The ‘paediatric inactivity triad’ (PIT) framework consists of three complex inter-related conditions that influence physical inactivity and related health risks. In those living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a multi-factorial milieu of components likely confound the PIT elements, resulting in a cycle of decreased physical functioning and reduced physical activity. In this review, we explore and summarize previous research on each of the three principal PIT components (exercise deficit disorder, dynapenia, and physical illiteracy) in the pediatric CKD population. We found those living with CKD are significantly physically inactive compared to their peers. Physical inactivity occurs early in the disease process and progressively gets worse as disease burden increases. Although physical activity appears to increase post-transplantation, it remains lower compared to healthy controls. There is limited evidence on interventions to increase physical activity behaviour in this population, and those that have attempted have had negligible effects. Studies reported profound reductions in muscle strength, physical performance, and cardiorespiratory fitness. A small number of exercise-based interventions have shown favourable improvements in physical function and cardiorespiratory fitness, although small sample sizes and methodological issues preclude the generalization of findings. Physical activity must be adapted and individualized to the needs and goals of the children, particularly those with acute and chronic medical needs as is the case in CKD, and further work is needed to define optimal interventions across the life course in this population if we aim to prevent physical activity declining further.

“…The AMSC serves as a foundation for movement proficiency to allow young athletes to develop FMS to enable them to partake in more advanced training in the latter stages of athletic development including resistance training, weightlifting, plyometrics, sport-specific speed, and agility training. It is advocated that the AMSC should be integrated into any youth-based athletic development program and to ensure that all youth participants can demonstrate proficiency across the full gamut of the AMSC (44). From a Gaelic sports' perspective, the AMSC can be used to develop the component parts of FMS and more specific Gaelic sports skills.…”

Youth athletic development is important for sports performance and most importantly for life-long participation in sport and physical activity. The physical development of children and adolescents must be considered when programming different bio-motor qualities of physical training. The Gaelic Athletic Association and participation in Gaelic sports is an integral part of children and adolescents' formative years in Ireland with clubs the focal point of both urban and rural communities. This article will offer practitioners an overview of how to progress athletic development, physical literacy, and motor skills for preparation from grassroots to elite intercounty representation. Traditional athletic development models will be discussed and additional considerations, the importance of coaching styles will also be discussed. Practical recommendations are suggested such as the athletic motor skills competencies (AMSC) model (Figure 4), a differentiated movement matrix based on the AMSC from a movement motor skill and strength-based perspective (Tables 3 and 4). Practical guidelines and considerations on how to integrate strength and resistance training throughout stages of athletic development are also provided (Figure 7). This article aims to provide practitioners with an iterative, pragmatic, and evidence-based approach in the athletic development of youth Gaelic sports players from grassroots to elite level participation.
