INTRODUCTION Maximum oxygen consumption shows the maximum oxygen rate of muscle oxygenation that is acceptable in many cases, to measure the fitness between person and the desired job. Given that medical emergencies are important, and difficult jobs in emergency situations require people with high physical ability and readiness for the job, the aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum oxyg...

The purpose of this paper is to present key points of an intervention programme (Agita São Paulo Program) to promote physical activity in a developing country. Agita is a multi-level, community-wide intervention designed to increase knowledge about the benefits and the level of physical activity in a mega-population of 34 million inhabitants of São Paulo State, Brazil. The main message was take...

Medical fitness facilities provide professional exercise and wellness expertise programming for clinical patients those with multiple health risks. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the immediate closure of these safety their vulnerable clients. However, data characterizing clients’ preferences concerns reopening during are lacking. PURPOSE: Feedback, including concerns, regarding was captured...

Physical activity (PA) improves mental health (MH). Mental toughness (MT) positively correlates to MH. Only 45% of Hispanics and Blacks over 18 years less than 40% US females meet the ACSM PA guidelines. has been decreasing during COVID-19. PURPOSE: Investigate pandemic effect adherence on MT-MH relationship previously physically active, Black Hispanic females. METHODS: Fifteen (age 21.3 ± 3.6 ...

Abstract. The Station for Measuring Ecosystem–Atmosphere Relations (SMEAR) II, located within the boreal forest of Finland, is a unique station in world due to wide range long-term measurements tracking Earth–atmosphere interface. In this study, we characterize composition organic aerosol (OA) at SMEAR II by quantifying its driving constituents. We utilize multi-year data set OA mass spectra me...

Near real-time measurements of submicron particulate matter (PM1) were carried out at an industrial and coastal site in Dunkirk (Northern France) over a 14-month period (July 2013–September 2014). This is surrounded by various plants (metallurgy, petrochemistry, food processing, power plant, etc.) characterized intense ship traffic (~700–800 per day along the English Channel) harbour surroundin...

Abstract. The geographical origin and source apportionment of submicron carbonaceous aerosols (organic aerosols, OAs, black carbon, BC) have been investigated here for the first time, deploying high time-resolution measurements at an urban background site Nicosia, capital city Cyprus, in eastern Mediterranean. This study covers a half-year period, encompassing both cold warm periods with contin...

Abstract. Increasing evidence from experimental studies suggests that the losses of semi-volatile vapors to chamber walls could be responsible for underestimation organic aerosol (OA) in air quality models use parameters obtained experiments. In this study, a box model with volatility basis set (VBS) scheme was developed, and secondary (SOA) yields vapor wall loss correction were optimized by g...

The three major factors that influence our health and longevity are genetics, the environment, and behavior [1]. From the 1980s, the fast development of computer technology has significantly changed human’s working environment, behavior, and lifestyle. Physical inactivity and obesity are prevalent worldwide, thus causing a major public health problem.According to theGlobalHealthObservatoryRepor...

INTRODUCTION The benefits of regular, consistent physical activity are well documented. Physical activity plays an important role in the prevention of chronic diseases and conditions including cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, type II diabetes, and obesity. Furthermore, physical activity is critical for long-term weight control and is thought to be an effective means to decrease ...
