Background: Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of premature death and disability in adulthood, according to the World Health Organization. More than two-thirds of the adolescents aged 11-17 years are physically inactive in India as per WHO standards. Hence, school based Healthy life style curriculum development is the need of the hour for school children. The objectives of the study were to promote healthy lifestyle, by implementing school based intervention program (physical activity and nutrition education) for healthy body mass index among school children; to study the correlation between the body mass index and academic performance (secondary objective).Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in the randomly selected schools of Bagalkot. A total of 598 students in intervention group and 575 students in control group participated in the study. Baseline information about demographic characteristics was obtained using pre-designed proforma. For intervention group, multicomponent programme was implemented based on child and adolescent trial for cardiovascular health model and the comprehensive school health programme model by the USA, centre for disease control. After 2 years, post-interventional data was collected.Results: In pre-test intervention group majority of participants (37.4%) were having normal BMI, while 26.8% participants were obese. In post-test intervention group majority of participants (45.7%) were having normal BMI, while 23.1% participants were obese. In pre-test control group majority of participants (34.7%) were having normal BMI, while 27.1% participants were obese. In post-test control group majority of participants (38.7%) were having normal BMI, while 26.4% participants were obese. Majority of the students attained normal BMI after the intervention.

Background:The study examined the effects of school-based program on students’ self-reported moderate to vigorous physical activity and physical competence, and associated links to gender, grade, body mass index, and physical education assessments.Methods:Participants were 240 middle school students (143 intervention, 97 control) from 3 small cities in North-East Finland. The intervention group received task-involving climate support in physical education classes and additional physical activities during school days across 1 year.Results:The intervention group’s physical competence increased, whereas the control group’s competence remained stable across the period. However, physical activity levels were stable in both groups. The findings also showed that body mass index was negatively associated with physical competence and activity in the intervention group at the follow-up measure. Physical education assessments were positively related with only the baseline scores of physical competence in the intervention group. In contrast, the assessments had positive relationships with physical competence and activity of control group students.Conclusions:The present program was an effective protocol to increase student’s perceptions of physical competence. Since the quantity of school physical education including recess activities cannot be dramatically increased, positive learning experiences should be provided, and thus, support perceptions of physical competence.

Introduction: Bone formation marker osteocalcin (OC) and bone resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) can be used to detect or to monitor the early responses of the skeleton to physical activity. Literature suggests that it is likely that higher body mass index (BMI) has positive effect on bones and can postpone onset of osteoporosis.Aim of the Study: The aim of this study is to:1.Determine the effect of aerobic physical acitivity on OC and CTX in young women2.Investigate correlation of OC, CTX and BMI in young women engaged into structured aerobic excerciseMaterial and methods: Study included 64 healthy young women, aged 19 to 25 years, devided into two groups: intervention group (n=32) and control group (n=32). The study duration was six weeks with follow-up period of four weeks. The intervention group underwent structured aerobic physical activity program for six weeks, but the control group did not receive such program. Level of OC, CTX and BMI were measured at baseline, after 6-week aerobic program, and after 4-week follow up (only intervention group).Results: There was significant increase of OC level after 6-week aerobic program, while level of CTX did not changed. OC level was at its maximum immediately after finishing the program in the participants with normal BMI (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant interaction of BMI and CTX level.Conclusion: Aerobic physical activity increases level of osteocalcin, suggesting that it has positive influence on bone formation in young women, primarily in women with normal BMI.

ABSTRACT Illicit substance use has been becoming the major global issue. In Indonesia, inmates imprisoned for illicit substance offences accounted for 40 percent of the total inmates. This study aimed to identify the effects of family psychoeducational therapies on inmates’ self esteem in the narcotics correctional facility.  Quasi-experimental pre-post test with control group was employed in this study. Intervention group 1 received general nursing intervention whereas intervention group 2 received family psychoeducational therapies.  This study involved 31 inmates for each group. Data were collected using Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES), and were analysed using repeated ANOVA dan independent t-tests. The study demonstrated that self esteem was significantly upper amongst those who received the combination of those two therapies compared to those who received general nursing intervention standalone (p < .005). This study suggested the implementation of both general nursing intervention and specialistic therapies, particularly family psychoeducational therapies to address the anxiety problems experienced by adolescent inmates suffering from illicit substance dependences.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the effect of the Dutch school-based education programme ‘Taste Lessons’ on children’s behavioural determinants towards tasting unfamiliar foods and eating healthy and a variety of foods.DesignIn a quasi-experimental study design, data on behavioural determinants were collected at baseline, four weeks and six months after the intervention in both the intervention and control group. Children completed consecutively three questionnaires in which knowledge, awareness, skills, attitude, emotion, subjective norm and intention towards the two target behaviours were assessed. Teachers implemented on average a third of the programme activities. Multilevel regression analyses were conducted to compare individual changes in the determinants in the intervention group with those in the control group, corrected for children’s gender and age. Effect sizes were expressed as Cohen’s d.SettingDutch elementary schools.SubjectsForty-nine classes (1183 children, 9–12 years old) in grades 5–8 of twenty-one elementary schools.ResultsThe intervention group showed a higher increase in knowledge (d=0·26, P<0·01), which persisted after six months (d=0·23, P<0·05). After four weeks, the intervention group showed a higher increase in number of foods known (d=0·22, P<0·05) and tasted (d=0·21, P<0·05), subjective norm of the teacher (d=0·17, P<0·05) and intention (d=0·16, P<0·05) towards the target behaviours.ConclusionsPartial implementation of Taste Lessons during one school year showed small short-term effects on increasing behavioural determinants in relation to tasting unfamiliar foods and eating healthy and a variety of foods. Full and repeated implementation of Taste Lessons in subsequent years might result in larger effects.
