“…These results support previous findings that light or moderate intensity LTPA is related to mental well-being (Holstila et al 2017;Panza et al 2017) whereas more intensive LTPA is related to better subjective health (Galan et al 2010). In contrast to some earlier findings (Andersen et al 2018;Doré et al 2016;Eime et al 2010;O'Connor et al 2010), this study did not find any associations between team and group sports or gym training and mental well-being/subjective health. These were the least commonly reported activities among the types of LTPA studied: less than one-third of the participants engaged in them at least once a month.…”

“…A study comparing adults' (age 20-65) favorite types of sports and perceived stress levels found some differences between individuals' LTPA preferences: for example, among women, those who preferred walking or meditation perceived higher levels of stress than those who preferred other types of LTPA, such as biking, fitness or dance, and among men, those who preferred ball games perceived lower levels of stress than those who preferred other types of LTPA (Asztalos et al 2012). There is also some evidence from samples of young adults and of adults in general of higher well-being among those who participate in team sports or sport clubs than those who participate in individual LTPA (Andersen et al 2018;Doré et al 2016;Eime et al 2010). Intensity has shown a linear relationship with subjective health (Galan et al 2010), although among adults, including the middle-aged, light or moderate intensity LTPA may have a stronger relationship with mental well-being than vigorous LTPA (Holstila et al 2017;Panza et al 2017).…”

Previous studies have shown that participation in leisure time physical activity is related to better mental well-being and subjective health. However, the associations between different types of leisure time physical activities and different dimensions of mental well-being have rarely been studied. In addition, longitudinal research, analyzing possible causal relations between these variables, is lacking. To investigate these research questions, data gathered at ages 42 and 50 (present N = 303) for the Finnish Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development were used. Physical activity was assessed as frequency of participation at ages 42 and 50, and at age 50 also as frequency of participation in different types of physical activities. Mental well-being was captured by emotional, psychological and social well-being and subjective health by self-rated health and symptoms. Crosssectionally, different types of physical activities were related to different dimensions of well-being. Walking had positive associations with psychological and social well-being, rambling in nature with emotional and social well-being, and endurance training with subjective health. Rambling in nature was also positively related to subjective health but only among men. Longitudinally, mental well-being predicted later participation in leisuretime physical activity, whereas no longitudinal associations between subjective health and physical activity were found. The results suggest that leisure time physical activities are related to current mental well-being and subjective health in midlife. Across time, good mental well-being seems to be a resource promoting engagement in physical activity.

Background: Black Tickle-Domino is an extremely water-insecure remote Inuit community in the Canadian subarctic that lacks piped-water. Drinking water consumption in the community is less than a third of the Canadian national average. Water insecurity in the community contributes to adverse health, economic, and social effects and requires urgent action. Objectives: To test the ability of domestic rainwater harvesting (DRWH) for the first time in the subarctic with the goal of improving water access and use in the community. Design: This project utilised quantitative weekly reporting of water collection and use, as well as focus group discussions. DRWH units were installed at seven water-insecure households chosen by the local government. Results were measured over a 6-week period in 2016. Results: Participants harvested 19.07 gallons of rainwater per week. General purpose water consumption increased by 17% and water retrieval efforts declined by 40.92%. Households saved $12.70 CDN per week. Participants reported perceived improvements to psychological health. Because no potable water was collected, drinking water consumption did not increase. The study identified additional water-insecurity impacts. Conclusion: DRWH cannot supply drinking water without proper treatment and filtration; however, it can be a partial remedy to water insecurity in the subarctic. DRWH is appropriately scaled, inexpensive, and participants identified several significant benefits.

“…From a public health prospective, identifying modifiable factors that reduce anxiety is critical to prevent emotional-based disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Research demonstrates that increased PA is associated with better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of mental disorders [7]. Moreover, studies also report that PA is inversely associated with anxiety symptoms, especially among the University student population [8].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the potential moderating effects of anxiety symptomology on the association between constructs from the transtheoretical model (TTM) and physical activity (PA). Methods: Data were collected from 200 University students from October 2015 to June 2016. To assess TTM constructs, a validated TTM survey was utilized. PA was assessed via the validated international PA questionnaire. Anxiety was assessed utilizing the 5-item overall anxiety severity and impairment scale questionnaire. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between TTM constructs and PA. Interaction analyses were computed to see if there was an interaction effect of TTM constructs and anxiety on PA. Results: The only TTM construct associated with meeting moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) guidelines was behavioral processes of change (odds ratio = 1.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.07-1.21; P < 0.05). Further, there was no interaction effect of anxiety and any of the TTM constructs on MVPA (all P > 0.05). Conclusion: TTM seems to have some utility of promoting MVPA among University students and does not appear to be a function of anxiety levels.KEY WORDS: Anxiety, behavioral processes of change, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, transtheoretical model Joyner and Loprinzi: Exercise, TTM, and anxiety
