Background: Most countries now have physical activity (PA) policies but translating them into action at national and subnational levels remains poor. To better understand the disconnect, the "Interaction between National and Local Government Levels in Development and Implementation of Physical Activity Policies Tool" (INTEGRATE-PA-Pol) was developed by the Global Observatory for Physical Activity (GoPA!).
Methods: The Czech Republic was chosen as a European pilot site based on existing research capacity and relationships.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the hydration status of 124 Czech male soccer players, finding that 56% were dehydrated based on urine specific gravity (USG), with euhydration defined as USG≤1.020.
- - Euhydrated players reported significantly higher daily fluid intake and better fluid intake perception compared to dehydrated players, indicating a correlation between hydration and self-reported data.
- - Despite the correlation between fluid intake and hydration status, thirst perception did not reliably indicate hydration levels, with no significant differences between euhydrated and dehydrated players in this regard.
Vagal Threshold Determination during Incremental Stepwise Exercise in Normoxia and Normobaric Hypoxia.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
October 2020
This study focuses on the determination of the vagal threshold (T) during exercise with increasing intensity in normoxia and normobaric hypoxia. The experimental protocol was performed by 28 healthy men aged 20 to 30 years. It included three stages of exercise on a bicycle ergometer with a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) 20.
