Article Synopsis
- The study reviews how passion and motivation influence subjective well-being (SWB) in sports, integrating the Dualistic Model of Passion and Self-Determination Theory.
- It found that harmonious passion and autonomous motivation enhance SWB, while obsessive passion and controlled motivation have the opposite effect.
- The authors highlight the need for further research on the relationship between passion, motivation, and well-being in sports, emphasizing the importance of creating supportive conditions for athletes.

The practice of physical activity, exercise and sport has many benefits for the general population, but studies on the population with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are scarce and inconclusive. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the state of the art on the role of physical activity, exercise and sport in the quality of life and well-being of people with IDD, seeking to understand the current panorama in this area and provide answers to these questions. The research was carried out between July and October 2023 using three databases: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus.

Article Synopsis
- * Around 40% of participants' waking hours were spent in sedentary behavior, and the findings suggest that men are not necessarily more active than women.
- * About 75% of adults and 30% of older adults achieved the required activity levels, mainly in sessions shorter than 10 minutes, indicating a need for future interventions to reduce sedentary behavior and promote regular walking.

Studies show that physical activity, exercise, or sport reduces depressive symptoms in the general population. However, little is known about its effects on individuals with disabilities. Thus, this systematic review with meta-analysis aims to verify the effects of this practice on depressive symptoms in individuals with disabilities.

Background/objectives: Physical activity (PA) guidelines advocate that children should accumulate at least 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous PA daily. Still, it is not clear how body fat may differ if the same dose of PA is accumulated at different intensities. We aimed to determine the independent associations of energy expenditure (EE) at moderate (MPA) and vigorous (VPA) PA intensity on total and abdominal fat in children and if these associations were moderated by cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on evaluating the body composition of male futsal players by measuring their fat mass percentage (FM%) and comparing it with existing prediction equations.
- A total of 78 players underwent various assessments, including DXA scans, and the existing equations did not accurately reflect their body fat compared to DXA results.
- The researchers developed a new Bettery® equation specifically for futsal players which showed high accuracy and validity for estimating FM%, making it a reliable tool for assessing body composition in this sport.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease, promoted by abnormal chronic mechanical loading over the joint, for instance, due to excessive body mass. Patients frequently report pain, fatigue, and limitations in specific functional daily activities. Regarding the treatment of OA, two nonpharmacological options are available.
