Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of motivational interview-based training on nutrition exercise behavior, sedentary behavior duration, and anthropometric outcomes in adolescents.
Method: This randomized controlled single-blind experimental study was conducted between January 2021 and March 2023. The research sample consisted of 76 adolescents with obesity (intervention: 38 and control: 38) determined by power analysis. The intervention group received a 6-session motivational interview-based training program. No intervention was applied to the control group. Data were collected using a personal information form, nutrition exercise behavior scale, adolescent sedentary activity questionnaire, and body mass ındex measurement form. Data collection tools were administered to both groups before the intervention, at the last session and at the 3rd month follow-up. In the analysis of the data, chi-square test, independent sample t-test and two-way mixed design ANOVA were used.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the pretest nutrition exercise behavior scale, sedentary activity questionnaire, and body mass index z-scores of the intervention and control groups (p > 0.05). After the motivational interview-based education program, nutrition exercise behaviors improved (p: 0.00), sedentary behavior duration and BMI decreased (p: 0.00) in the intervention group. No significant difference was observed in the control group. Nutritional exercise behavior, duration of sedentary behavior and BMI values of the intervention group showed a significant difference compared to the control group (p: 0.00).
Conclusion: It was determined that motivational interviewing applied to adolescents with obesity created a positive change on nutritional exercise behavior, sedentary behavior durations, and anthropometric results. It is recommended that nurses should use motivational interviewing in the management of nutrition and exercise behaviors of adolescents with obesity.

Purpose: This study investigated elite German athletes to (1) assess their serum 25(OH)D levels and the prevalence of insufficiency, (2) identify key factors influencing serum 25(OH)D levels, and (3) analyze the association between serum 25(OH)D levels and handgrip strength.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 474 athletes (231 female), aged 13-39 years (mean 19.3 years), from ten Olympic disciplines were included.

Sugar sweetened-beverage (SSB) consumption contributes to poor diet quality and diet-related chronic diseases. One effective public health strategy to reduce SSB consumption is to tax SSB. Laboratory approaches can complement existing methods to improve understanding of how taxes on SSB influence purchasing.

Methods: Patients with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and, schizophrenia and with comorbid obesity (n = 29) were assigned to a 12-week structured physical exercise program. Peripheral blood biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular mechanisms, and metabolic activity, as well as neurocognitive and functional performance were assessed twice, before and after intervention.

This review summarizes the mechanism and role of physical activity in maintaining the proper functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Bone adaptation to the mechanical environment occurs in skeletal regions subjected to the greatest stresses resulting from the nature of exercise, however, there is a varied response of bone tissue to mechanical loads depending on its material and structural properties (trabecular and cortical). The regulation of bone tissue metabolism during physical exercise is influenced by factors associated with mechanical stress (gravitational forces, impact loading, and muscular contractions) as well as by systemic mechanisms (hormones, myokines, cytokines).
