Facilitators and Barriers to Movement Integration in Elementary Classrooms: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: A systematic review was conducted to identify facilitators and barriers to movement integration (MI) in elementary school classrooms.

Method: Online databases (Educational Resources Information Center, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, and PubMed) served as data sources for the study. Following the PRISMA guidelines, relevant published research on MI was identified and screened for inclusion in a qualitative synthesis.

Recovery Responses to Maximal Exercise in Healthy-Weight Children and Children With Obesity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in heart rate recovery (HRRec) and oxygen consumption recovery (VO recovery) between young healthy-weight children and children with obesity following a maximal volitional graded exercise test (GXTmax).

Method: Twenty healthy-weight children and 13 children with obesity completed body composition testing and performed a GXTmax. Immediately after the GXTmax, HRRec and VO recovery were measured each minute for 5 consecutive minutes.

Identification and treatment of augmentation in patients with restless legs syndrome: practical recommendations.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a chronic disorder causing clinically significant discomfort to approximately 3% of adults. Although RLS was first identified centuries ago, our understanding of this disorder, its causes, and its treatments is still evolving. In particular, our knowledge of the potential negative effects of RLS treatments, including dopaminergic augmentation, continues to expand.

The Effects of Occupational Stress, Work-Centrality, Self-Efficacy, and Job Satisfaction on Intent to Quit Among Long-Term Care Workers in Korea.

A large and growing population of elderly Koreans with chronic conditions necessitates an increase in long-term care. This study is aimed at investigating the effects of occupational stress, work-centrality, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction on intent to leave among long-term care workers in Korea. We tested the hypothesized structural equation model predicting the intention to quit among long-term care workers in Korea.

Social support, depression, and quality of life among people living with HIV in Guangxi, China.

This study collected data from 2987 people living with HIV in China and employed structural equation modeling to examine the relationships among social support, depression, and quality of life (QOL). Depression was the strongest predictor of the psychological, energy, and mobility aspects of QOL with β = -.70 (p < .

Heart aging measured with coronary artery calcium scoring and cardiovascular risk assessment algorithms in HIV infected patients.

ABTRACT Many sources have highlighted the high incidence of premature cardiovascular events in HIV infected patients. This raises the suspicion of an accelerated aging of the vascular system in this disease characterized by chronic systemic subliminal inflammation and immune dysregulation. Unfortunately all currently available risk assessment algorithms based on traditional risk factors, and even those containing more HIV-specific factors, fail to accurately predict risk in a large proportion of patients.

External-Focus Feedback Benefits Free-Throw Learning in Children.

Purpose: Considerable research supports the motor-learning advantage associated with an external focus of attention; however, very few studies have attempted to generalize these findings to children especially with attentional focus feedback. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of attentional focus feedback on motor learning in children.

Method: Boys (n = 14) and girls (n = 14) aged 9 to 11 years old were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 gender-stratified groups: (a) internal-focus feedback or (b) external-focus feedback.
