“…Learning to move aims to make someone capable and skilled in mastering movement, including mastering movement coordination. Regular and continuous physical activity is needed for coordination learning (Eifert, Wideman, Oberlin, & Labban, 2014;Langlois, Vu Tuong, Chassé, Dupuis, Kergoat, & Bhere, 2013;Paillard, Rolland, & Barreto, 2015). The end result of learning movement is the ability to do movement patterns of body skills, every movement learning goal generally has expectations with the emergence of certain findings, these findings are usually in the form of skill mastery.…”

This research aims to prove: 1) relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness with movement coordination learning ability, 2) relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness with fatigue level, and 3) relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and fatigue level on learning ability of movement coordination. Samples were 30 students of Department of Sport Education determined by purposive sampling technique. To conduct the correlational research, the instruments included a Cardiorespiratory fitness measured by using Fitmate version 2.2, Wellness Technology a Division of Cosmed, also equipped with other supporting devices such as treadmills. Level of fatigue was measured by using the heart rate monitor of Polar brand and Stopwatch (BT Butterfly 60 Japan) while movement coordination learning ability measured by using Drawing Mirror Tracer Test. Using multiple regression analysis, it is concluded that: firstly, there is significant relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and learning ability of movement coordination. Secondly, there is significant relationship between the level of fatigue and the learning ability of movement coordination. Thirdly, there is significant relationship between cardio respiratory fitness and level of fatigue in the learning ability of movement coordination.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan: 1) hubungan antara kebugaran kardiorespirasi terhadap kemampuan belajar koordinasi gerak, 2) hubungan antara tingkat kelelahan terhadap kemampuan belajar koordinasi gerak, dan 3) hubungan antara kebugaran kardiorespirasi dan tingkat kelelahan terhadap kemampuan belajar koordinasi gerak. Sampel adalah 30 mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Olahraga ditentukan dengan teknik purposive sampling. Untuk melaksanakan penelitian korelasional ini, instrumen yang digunakan antara lain: Kebugaran kardiorespirasi diukur dengan menggunakan Fitmate version 2.2, Wellness Technology a Division of Cosmed, juga dilengkapi alat pendukung lainnya seperti treadmill. Tingkat kelelahan, diukur dengan menggunakan heart rate monitor merek Polar dan Stop watch (Butterfly BT 60 Japan) sedangkan kemampuan belajar koordinasi gerak diukur dengan menggunakan Drawing Mirror Tracer Test. Dengan analisis regresi berganda, disimpulkan bahwa: pertama, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kebugaran kardiorespirasi terhadap kemampuan belajar koordinasi gerak. Kedua, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat kelelahan terhadap kemampuan belajar koordinasi gerak. Ketiga, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kebugaran kardiorespirasi dan tingkat kelelahan terhadap kemampuan belajar koordinasi gerak. : kebugaran kardiorespirasi, heart rate, belajar, koordinasi, gerak Kata Kunci

“…These findings give support to our hypothesis postulating better functional fitness results for the group of senior citizens living at home. While realizing the complexity of the process of ageing it may be concluded that regular and adequate physical activity is indispensable for healthy life-style (Eifert et. al., 2014, Langlois et.…”

Physical environments in which older people live reflect the diversity of experience. This means that older peoples quality of life, and thus their health, can depend on the appropriateness of their home environment and the conditions in which they live. In our paper, we attempt to explore the association(s) between the parameters of functional fitness and the accommodation conditions among older residents living in eastern part of Slovak republic. The pooled data (n = 112) were extracted from older cohorts living in eastern part of Slovakia, research conducted in 2014. Readiness for participation in physical activity was assessed using PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness) questionnaire. Functional fitness by the means of SFT test (Senior Fitness Test) respectively. The association between latent variables, demographic factor, and functional fitness was determined by structural-equation modeling (SEM). The mean age for all participants was 64/65 years. A twominute step-test of cohorts living in social service homes mean value 29 ± 20.54 versus cohorts living at home 68.71 ± 34.36 steps. In agility/dynamic balance test 11.19 ± 10.47 versus 7.03 ± 2.65 seconds respectively. The SEM model showed that accommodation conditions was directly associated with functional fitness. A twominute step-test of cohorts living in social setting environment (P = 0.00002) versus living at home (P=0.00496). In agility/dynamic balance test (P = 0.00002) versus (P = 0.00001) respectively. That represents average and below average in the age group of 65-69 years of cohorts living at home compare to risk of functional fitness loss of cohorts living in social service homes. Our research gives support to the hypothesis postulating significance of mutual correlation between the social context of senior citizen life (accommodation conditions and environment), on one hand, and functional fitness, on the other.

“…Second, there seems to be a number of factors other than leisure that conceivably contribute to health to varying extents. In particular, perceived health status in older adults has been found to be associated with sociodemographic characteristics such as sex, education, and income (Bryant et al, 2000;Machon et al, 2016;Schulz, Mittelmark, & Kronmal, 1994), chronic diseases (Eifert, Wideman, Oberlin, & Labban, 2014;Mavaddat, Vladeras, van der Linde, Khaw, & Kinmonth, 2014;Molarius & Janson, 2002), and functional status (Hoeymans, Feskens, van den Bos, & Kromhout, 1997;Latham & Peek, 2013). Additional factors linked to perceived health status are social relationships (White, Philogene, Fine, & Sinha, 2009;An, 2015), neighborhood environment (Mathis, Rooks, & Kruger, 2015;Subramanian, Kubzansky, Berkman, Fay, & Kawachi, 2006), alcohol consumption (Moriconi & Nadeau, 2015), and spiritual satisfaction (Daaleman, Perera, & Studenski, 2004;George, Larson, Koenig, & McCullough, 2000).…”

“…Response options included diabetes; hypertension; heart disease; fibromyalgia; osteoporosis; arthritis; obesity; anxiety, depression, or some other emotional disorder; alcohol or drug problems; cancer; or other. Physical activity was determined by calculating metabolic equivalents (METs) for multiple activities, which was done in a previous study using the WC data (Eifert et al, 2014).…”

Despite consistent evidence to suggest that participating in leisure is associated with perceived health status among older adults, there have been few attempts to determine the possible underlying mechanisms in this relationship, including the role of quality of life (QoL). This study examined the role of perceived quality of life in the relationship between leisure and perceived health in older women. Correlations, regression, and mediation analysis were conducted on data from the Woman's College Alumnae Women's Health Study. Results indicate that QoL partially mediates the relationship between leisure and perceived health in older women. Findings further establish the link between leisure and perceived health with QoL playing an important role in the relationship.
