Summary: This study found that wellbeing during the pandemic differed by age, with primary school children showing the highest level, and secondary school children, girls, and those who preferred not to disclose their gender showing lower wellbeing. Factors such as playing with lots of other children, being of Asian ethnicity, having a safe play area, and getting more sleep were associated with higher wellbeing in primary school children. Older children and young people expressed a need for more support with anxiety and educational pressures.

Summary: This study aims to describe the use and knowledge of self-report-based and device-based physical activity measures in people with inflammatory joint diseases (IJDs) in four European countries, and explore the association between the use of such measures and adherence to recommended levels of physical activity. The results showed that 46% of respondents reported using self-report or device-based measures for self-monitoring physical activity. Factors such as living in Ireland and Sweden, not perceiving activity limitations, and using a device to measure physical activity were associated with adherence to recommended levels.

Summary: This study found a longitudinal association between physical activity patterns in childhood and early adolescence with emotional-behavioural difficulties in later adolescence. Participants categorized as inactive or reducing their physical activity levels during childhood and early adolescence had a higher likelihood of emotional-behavioural difficulties in later adolescence. Conversely, those who were categorized as active during earlier years had a reduced risk of emotional-behavioural problems in later adolescence. The study suggests that increasing physical activity among adolescents can be a beneficial public health intervention for improving mental health.

Summary: The study investigated the exercise behavior and support preferences of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, revealing that around 40% were not meeting physical activity guidelines and only 5% were engaging with cancer PA support services. Most AYAs expressed a desire for PA support and were interested in supervised, home-based interventions, meeting specific criteria, following treatment, restricted by age, and involving strength, walking, and flexibility exercises.

Summary: This study examined the associations between mental health, eating beliefs, and health behaviors in young adult cancer survivors. The results showed that perceived stress, anxiety, and depression were associated with increased added sugar intake and eating beliefs, while perceived stress and depression were associated with reduced vegetable intake. This highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues in health behavior interventions for this population.

Summary: Approximately 1.5 billion people worldwide live with a disability, with most in low-income and middle-income countries. Physical activity is beneficial for people living with disabilities, with even small amounts of activity showing health benefits. It is important for policy makers to prioritize the inclusion of people with disabilities in physical activity plans.

Summary: The International Society for Physical Activity and Health emphasizes the importance of increasing the capability of the physical activity workforce as a key component of a system-based approach. Young leader programs are gaining popularity worldwide as peers have a significant influence on young people and positive role models are essential for promoting physical activity. However, there is limited understanding of effective training methods for young physical activity leaders. This study aims to develop a consensus on how to identify and support young people in becoming physical activity leaders.

Summary: This study investigated adherence to physical activity guidelines among German adults and found that less than one quarter of the population met both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise recommendations. Sub-groups less likely to meet these combined guidelines included individuals with poor self-rated health, unemployed, of low socioeconomic status, smokers, and overweight or obese individuals. Public health interventions promoting both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises are necessary for the majority of German adults who do not meet the recommended physical activity guidelines.

Summary: This study examines the changes in physical activity among German adults during the coronavirus pandemic and finds that sports enthusiasts experienced a significant decrease in activity level, while non-sports enthusiasts increased their activity level. The reduced physical activity levels were significantly positively correlated with poorer mental health, which could have long-term public health consequences.

Summary: Men aged 50 or older are a hard-to-reach target group for health-enhancing physical activity interventions due to fluctuating PA behavior influenced by various barriers. A study identified four clusters within this group, including men primarily affected by physical constraints, lacking self-motivation, facing professional and private obligations, or lacking suitable sports courses. Tailored strategies are needed to promote regular physical activity in this group.

Summary: The lack of communities' readiness for change is a major barrier to implementing health interventions effectively. This study used an alternative readiness assessment approach to evaluate a selected community's readiness for change regarding physical activity interventions for men over 50. Multiple key informant perspectives provided in-depth insights and identified starting points for tailored interventions. The study suggests that a qualitative multi-perspective community readiness assessment adds value to existing research practices.
