The purpose of this study was to develop a short and easily used questionnaire to measure enjoyment in leisure-time physical activity. The first part of the study involved the questionnaire's composition. A set of 30 positively formulated potential items was generated and subsequently completed by 59 subjects. We used these results to trim the questionnaire to 10 items. In the second part of the study, the questionnaire was administered to 82 subjects and research was done into reliability and validity. The results indicate that the Groningen Enjoyment Questionnaire can be considered reliable and valid.

This study aimed to examine the associations between the different constructs of daytime sleepiness and subjective well-being (SWB), and to investigate whether physical disability moderated these associations in community-dwelling older adults. We examined daytime sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and SWB was evaluated in terms of self-rated health and happiness. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to determine latent constructs of ESS, yielding two primary factors, which were designated as active and passive factors.

It consists of 15 exercises that target the most common injury sites, such as the knee, ankle, and groin. However, the implementation and adherence of the 11+ remain suboptimal, and recent compelling data indicates underlying mechanisms of injury risk related to neural control of movement may not be adequately targeted.

Study Question: Does offering the Pleasure&Pregnancy (P&P) programme rather than expectant management improve naturally conceived ongoing pregnancy rates in couples diagnosed with unexplained infertility?
Summary Answer: The P&P programme had no effect on the ongoing pregnancy rates of couples with unexplained infertility.
What Is Known Already: Underpowered studies suggested that face-to-face interventions targeting sexual health may increase pregnancy rates. The impact of an eHealth sexual health programme had yet to be evaluated by a large randomized controlled trial.
