Physical inactivity among adolescents with physical disabilities attending high schools in Kenya
Physical inactivity together with overweight and obesity has emerged as a major health risk factor for chronic disease of lifestyle as coronary heart disease, diabetes type 2, and hypertension affecting adolescents with physical disabilities in developed countries. This has contributed to the …

Physical inactivity among high school learners in Belhar - a public health concern
… increase in lifestyle-related diseases. Physical inactivity has been identified as one of the risk factors, in addition to other leading risk factors like diet, and the use of tobacco and alcohol, contributing to the occurrence of non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancers, …

The health economics of physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour: healthcare expenditure and cost-effective interventions
Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour increases the risk of premature mortality and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cancers. Globally, the prevalence of these risk factors is increasing, putting many people at increased risk. Physical …

An analysis of the determinants and scarring effects of economic inactivity and unemployment in the UK
… and scarring effects phenomenon of economic inactivity and unemployment – NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) – in the UK. We are particularly interested in examining the impacts of different business cycle periods and investigate the presence of true state dependence or the …

On Shape and Being Shaped - Rethinking the Urban Built Environment as a Catalyst of Childhood Inactivity and Obesity
Childhood obesity, although a preventable condition, remains a major global public health concern. Despite tremendous efforts, researchers and policymakers have been unable to turn the tide on children’s weight gain. In recent years, Health Geographers have increasingly acknowledged the role of …

The Impact of Obesity and Inactivity in Adolescent students on Academic Achievement as Demonstrated by Grade Point Average (GPA)
Obesity not only impacts adults, but it is also continuing to impact adolescents in many ways. The health consequences of obesity may be more well known, but obesity may also pose a potential risk to adolescents’ academic achievements. Today, across the globe, adolescents are being negatively …

The effects of osteoarthritis, acute voluntary inactivity and injury on skeletal muscle function, Na+, K+ -ATPase content and isoform abundance
Physical inactivity causes substantial maladaptions in each of skeletal muscle size, strength and endurance. In skeletal muscle the Na+, K+ -ATPase (NKA) enzyme is pivotal in the regulation of Na+ and K+ concentrations across the sarcolemmal and t-tubule membranes and hence in the maintenance of …

Inactivity and overfeeding related changes in skeletal muscle composition and metabolism in captive felids - are they at risk of developing metabolic syndrome?
Obesity and physical inactivity are established key risk factors in the development of skeletal muscle insulin-resistance and type II diabetes in human and domestic animal populations. Wild animals are similarly exposed to these risk factors as a result of captivity. This study aimed at describing …

Impact of inactivity and exercise on the vasculature in humans : the role of blood flow and shear stress on arterial adaptations in healthy males
… brachial haemodynamics. Finally, the effect of inactivity on vascular function and arterial remodelling were studied using novel models of inactivity. The aim of Study 1 was to examine the effect of shear stress on upper limb brachial artery dilation during acute cycle exercise of different …

Latent Class Analysis of Health Risk Behaviors Among Survivors of Childhood Adversities
… best fit. These classes include a “Poor Diet, Inactivity, and Risky Behavior” class, “Poor Diet and Inactivity” class, and an “Inactivity” class. Once classes were created, a number of follow up analysis were used to assess differences on key variables. Significant differences were found …

A Spatial Analysis of Obesity and Its Associations with the Built and Natural Environment, Physical Inactivity, and Socioeconomic and Demographic Conditions in the United States of America
… associations exist between obesity and physical inactivity (PIA), poverty, and population-weighted distance (PWD) to parks. Conversely, negative spatial associations exist between obesity and ratio of jobs to employed residents (JER) and population density. Another major contribution of this …

Investigation into the life span of the physiological and performance benefits of a soccer warm-up.
… at ten-minute intervals over fifty minutes of inactivity following the pre-match soccer warm-up. The study found that performance variables declined at different rates throughout the periods of inactivity. Significant decrements in performance were observed in countermovement vertical jump and …

A Biofeedback-Based Physical Activity Advisory System
Physical inactivity, a phenomenon on the rise in numerous countries, has gained global attention because of its negative effects on humans' physical wellness. It represents a stumbling block in the way of living a healthy lifestyle. Recent statistics of World Health Organization (WHO) ranked …
