“…As individuals in contemporary society can enjoy lots of interesting activities without even leaving their homes, they also tend to be more sedentary and disregard, or even avoid, sporting activities. Modern life involves stress, a sedentary lifestyle, and a lot of physical fatigue [1]. People's free time and time for socializing are increasingly reduced.…”

“…However, there is a gap between the global value of health and its practical implementation, with the concept of a healthy lifestyle often being idealized and not fully realized in daily practices [4]. A range of healthy lifestyle products is also available, including a huge assortment of dietary and nutritional supplements [1,5]. Physical culture, sports, and healthy lifestyle interconnection are also emphasized.…”

“…For example, Millennials are a group of consumers who care about their health, personal image, and personal beauty and who wish to build their self-esteem, especially through their public appearance [5]. Moreover, care for health and body aesthetics leads them to purchase not only the services offered by the fitness center but also various natural products (vitamins, energy drinks, and other dietary supplements) [1,5]. The literature also highlights the impact of social media on Millennials' fitness behavior [11], as well as their concern to adopt new technologies while practicing fitness exercises [12].…”

Millennials of the 21st century tend to have an active daily life and practice more sports, spending more on health and fitness. Therefore, the present paper seeks to investigate the propensity of Millennials to recommend their preferred fitness center, depending on their psychological condition (i.e., introversion versus extraversion), which may lead to their tendency to practice and to their involvement and satisfaction with the fitness center. The authors deduce a conceptual model from the literature, which is further analyzed with data collected through an empirical investigation based on a face-to-face administered questionnaire. Data gathered from 2138 Millennials are investigated with the help of structural equation modeling using SmartPLS. The results show that a positive image of a fitness center stimulates the satisfaction of extravert and introvert consumers. Millennials have different personality types, such as extraversion and introversion, that influence their propensity to practice fitness and to recommend their favorite fitness center. It can be concluded that not only extraversion but also introversion influence consumers’ satisfaction, positively impacting the consumer’s intention to recommend their favorite fitness center to peers.

The purpose of this research was to analyze how different effects of the COVID pandemic, expressed through pandemic accentuated occupational stress, perceived job insecurity, occupational safety and health perception and perceived organizational effectiveness, may impact turnover intentions of the personnel in the hospitality industry. Our research team designed an online questionnaire which was analyzed with network analysis to depict the relationship between factors, and, then, a confirmatory factor analysis was employed to confirm the distribution of the items to the envisaged five factors. Based on a sample of 324 randomized Romanian hospitality industry staff, the results of our cross-sectional study revealed that occupational safety and health perception, perceived organizational effectiveness and perceived job insecurity in the pandemic accentuated occupational stress to indirectly and significantly impact hospitality industry staff turnover intentions (TI). The results indicated that, while the total effect of PAOS on TI was significant, the direct effect was still significant, while all three mediators remained significant predictors. Overall, mediators partially mediated the relationship between PAOS and TI, indicating that employees with low scores on occupational safety and health perception (OSHP), and perceived organizational effectiveness (POE) and high scores on perceived job insecurity (PJI) were more likely to have higher levels of TI turnover intentions.

“…Los consumidores deben saber que los productos dietéticos no están destinados a reemplazar una comida saludable y que incluso ni siquiera el mejor producto dietético puede sustituir a una buena alimentación. Sin embargo, la información sobre productos dietéticos suele darse, principalmente, por la opinión de los medios de comunicación y por los consejos de amigos o familiares, lo que influye directamente en la percepción de los consumidores sobre el uso adecuado de estos productos (14) . Por lo tanto, la percepción, el perfil y el comportamiento de los consumidores han sido un tema de investigación a nivel internacional durante los últimos años.…”

Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal analítico realizado en sujetos mayores de 18 años que eran residentes en las ciudades de Lima, Arequipa y Trujillo en Perú. El estudio se realizó en dos etapas. En la primera etapa, se realizaron entrevistas personales, para lo cual se empleó cuestionarios estructurados y estandarizados. En la segunda etapa, se diseñó un cuestionario estructurado con preguntas abiertas y cerradas relacionadas con los hábitos de uso y compra de productos dietéticos.Resultados: Se entrevistaron a 890 personas, de las cuales el 42 % señalaron que consumían productos dietéticos, de los cuales las vitaminas y los minerales eran los productos de mayor consumo. Se observó que los consumidores mantenían una frecuencia diaria y una antigüedad de consumo entre 3 y 12 meses. Además, se identificó que la recomendación de los familiares y amigos sobre el consumo de productos dietéticos tenía un nivel de confianza similar a las recomendaciones de médicos y nutricionistas. Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio en una muestra representativa obtenida en Lima, Arequipa y Trujillo nos indican que un alto porcentaje de la población se encuentra satisfecha consumiendo productos dietéticos con regularidad. Es importante señalar que no existen diferencias significativas entre el porcentaje de la población encuestada que consume productos dietéticos por recomendación de un nutricionista y la que los consume por sugerencia de familiares y amigos. Esto indica que es necesario mejorar los hábitos nutricionales con estrategias de educación sobre hábitos alimenticios y la adaptación del uso de productos dietéticos a una dieta balanceada. Estos resultados podrían permitir que la población haga un uso más eficaz de los productos dietéticos como herramienta para reducir deficiencias nutricionales.
