Background and aims

The American Diabetes Association recommends that individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) engage in at least 150 min of physical activity per week for optimal health. However, depressive symptoms, prevalent in this population, may hinder the ability to follow this recommendation, particularly during stressful events like the COVID-19 pandemic. This longitudinal study aimed at investigating the impact of depressive symptoms on physical activity levels among individuals with T2D during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

We analyzed data from 5348 individuals with T2D participating in the All of Us Research Program's COVID-19 Participant Experience (COPE) survey. Depressive symptoms and physical activity levels were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), respectively. Stabilized inverse probability weights (sIPW)-weighted mixed-effect logistic regression models evaluated the association between depressive symptoms and physical activity across three time points: May, June, and July 2020.

Results

Participants had a mean age of 61.43 (11.63) years, with majority being female (56.49%) and non-Hispanic White (76.25%). At baseline, 50% of the participants had moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms, and 20% were physically active. The predicted probability of being physically active decreased with increasing depressive symptoms (aOR = 0.66; 95%CI: 0.60, 0.73). The inverse association between depressive symptoms and physical activity was strongest among non-Hispanic White.

Conclusions

Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with lower odds of engaging in physical activity among individuals with T2D during the COVID-19 period. Further studies capturing pre- and post-pandemic data are needed to clarify the pandemic's impact on these associations.

背景和目的美国糖尿病协会建议 2 型糖尿病（T2D）患者每周至少进行 150 分钟的体育锻炼，以获得最佳健康状态。然而，在这一人群中普遍存在的抑郁症状可能会妨碍他们遵守这一建议，尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行等压力事件期间。这项纵向研究旨在调查 COVID-19 大流行期间抑郁症状对 T2D 患者体育锻炼水平的影响。抑郁症状和体力活动水平分别采用患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）和国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ）进行测量。稳定逆概率权重（sIPW）加权混合效应逻辑回归模型评估了三个时间点上抑郁症状与体力活动之间的关联：结果参与者的平均年龄为 61.43 (11.63) 岁，大多数为女性（56.49%）和非西班牙裔白人（76.25%）。基线时，50%的参与者有中度至重度抑郁症状，20%的参与者积极参加体育锻炼。随着抑郁症状的加重，参加体育锻炼的预测概率降低（aOR = 0.66；95%CI：0.60, 0.73）。结论在 COVID-19 期间，抑郁症状与 T2D 患者参加体育锻炼的几率较低密切相关。需要对大流行前后的数据进行进一步研究，以明确大流行对这些关联的影响。

Background and aims

This study compared, for the first time, cognitive function, and the cortical thickness of frontal areas in healthy adults who exercise regularly in outdoor green spaces ("green exercise group," GEG; n = 22, mean age = 39.91 years, females = 11) with those who exercise in indoor urban settings ("urban exercise group," UEG; n = 25, mean age = 40 years, females = 11). We further explored the associations between frontal brain thickness and cognitive measures in each group separately.

Method

Forty-seven healthy adults participated. All underwent a neuropsychological evaluation for short-term memory, working memory, and attention. High-resolution T1-weighted 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were acquired for each participant. The thickness of frontal brain regions was extracted and exported to JASP software for statistical analyses.

Results

The GEG performed better on working memory and short-term memory tasks compared to the UEG. Additionally, the GEG exhibited increased thickness in the right anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) and the right superior frontal sulcus (rSFS). These areas were associated with short-term memory within the GEG. Fisher's test and Zou's intervals revealed that only the correlation between the rSFS and short-term memory was significantly different between the UEG and GEG.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that exercising in outdoor natural areas might be related to better cognitive function and greater brain thickness in frontal areas. This study will contribute to the growing body of evidence linking brain, cognition and exercising in natural areas. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms.

背景和目的本研究首次比较了经常在室外绿地锻炼的健康成年人（"绿色锻炼组"，GEG；n = 22，平均年龄 = 39.91 岁，女性 = 11）与在室内城市环境中锻炼的健康成年人（"城市锻炼组"，UEG；n = 25，平均年龄 = 40 岁，女性 = 11）的认知功能和额叶皮质厚度。我们还分别探讨了每个组别中大脑额叶厚度与认知测量之间的关联。所有人都接受了短期记忆、工作记忆和注意力的神经心理学评估。每位参与者都接受了高分辨率 T1 加权三维磁共振成像（MRI）扫描。结果与 UEG 相比，GEG 在工作记忆和短期记忆任务中表现更好。此外，GEG 表现出右前扣带回皮层（rACC）和右上额沟（rSFS）厚度增加。这些区域与 GEG 中的短时记忆有关。费舍尔检验和邹氏区间检验显示，只有 rSFS 与短期记忆的相关性在 UEG 和 GEG 之间存在显著差异。这项研究将为越来越多的证据证明大脑、认知和在自然区域锻炼之间的联系做出贡献。还需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现并探索其潜在机制。

Goals are standard practice when promoting physical activity for mental health and wellbeing and for the management of mental health disorders. While there are benefits of setting physical activity goals, there are also known risks, side-effects, and detrimental outcomes. We illustrate how these can potentially exacerbate mental health symptoms. Given the high rates of mental health disorders worldwide, we argue that mental health informed goal setting is needed in physical activity and may be relevant to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. We present recommendations for setting mental health informed physical activity goals to minimise/avoid the risks of exacerbating mental health symptoms as well as maximising benefits for both physical and mental health.

目标是促进体育锻炼、增进心理健康和福祉以及控制心理健康疾病的标准做法。设定体育锻炼目标固然有其益处，但也存在已知的风险、副作用和有害结果。我们将说明这些风险、副作用和不利结果如何可能加剧精神健康症状。鉴于全球心理健康疾病的高发率，我们认为在体育锻炼中需要制定有心理健康指导的目标，这可能与全球数亿人息息相关。我们提出了制定心理健康体育活动目标的建议，以尽量减少/避免加剧心理健康症状的风险，并最大限度地提高身心健康的益处。

Health enhancing physical activity (HEPA) initiatives can improve mental health; however there is a lack of standardised measures to evaluate mental health impact. This study aimed to identify the relevant indicators of mental health and well-being in community-based HEPA initiatives in Europe as determined by specialists and practitioners in the field, and understand assessment methods commonly used.

An adapted, two round, Delphi method was conducted with N = 20 specialists (practitioners and academics) in the field of mental health and physical activity from Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK, and Ireland. Specialists selected the most important indicators and agreed consensus on definitions and operationalisation, where consensus ≥50% signified important indicators.

Specialists compiled 66 (n = 21 outcome, n = 45 determinant) indicators. Top rated indicators for the evaluation of HEPA initiatives were self-rated mental health (69.2%), physical activity (69.2%) life satisfaction (53.8%), stress (53.8%), loneliness (53.8%), social participation, network, connection and support (53.8%). Consensus on definition and application of the nine indicators varied (44.4%–100%), with no consensus on a standardised measurement tool reached, although specialists pointed to the need for culturally sensitive measurement tools.

While this study highlights a lack of conformity for evaluating mental health and wellbeing outcomes, it suggests utility in an agreed definition and application of nine indicators for the evaluation of HEPA initiatives, with social determinants of particularly high importance across the relevant contexts. Further research is recommended to develop guidance on pragmatic measurement tools that can be utilised across other (European) countries and their implementation tested.

增进健康的体育活动（HEPA）计划可以改善心理健康；但目前还缺乏评估心理健康影响的标准化措施。这项研究的目的是确定由该领域的专家和从业人员确定的欧洲基于社区的 HEPA 活动中心理健康和幸福感的相关指标，并了解常用的评估方法。来自丹麦、荷兰、英国和爱尔兰的心理健康和体育活动领域的 N = 20 名专家（从业人员和学者）采用了经过调整的两轮德尔菲法。专家们选出了最重要的指标，并就定义和可操作性达成了共识，其中共识度≥50%的指标为重要指标。专家们编制了 66 个指标（结果指标 21 个，决定性指标 45 个）。在评估 HEPA 行动时，得分最高的指标是自评心理健康（69.2%）、体育活动（69.2%）、生活满意度（53.8%）、压力（53.8%）、孤独（53.8%）、社会参与、网络、联系和支持（53.8%）。虽然这项研究强调了在评估心理健康和幸福结果方面缺乏一致性，但它表明，在评估 HEPA 行动时，对九个指标的定义和应用达成一致是有用的，社会决定因素在相关背景下具有特别重要的意义。建议开展进一步研究，以制定可在其他（欧洲）国家使用的实用衡量工具指南，并对其实施情况进行测试。

Background

Few studies have focused on a comprehensive view of social determinants of health (SDOH) domains as influences on the health of young people. This study aimed to investigate the associations between the Healthy people 2030 SDOH-related domains (i.e., economic stability, education access and quality, health care access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context) with mental health, movement behaviors, and cognitive function among U.S. youth.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used nationally representative data from the 2020–2021 National Survey of Children's Health, covering 54,595 youth aged 6–17 years. The associations of indicators of SDOH-related domains with mental health (depression and anxiety), movement behaviors (physical activity and screen-based sedentary behavior), and cognitive function were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models, adjusting for age, sex, and race.

Results

Economic stability, education access and quality, health care access and quality, and social and community context were associated with at least one outcome measure of mental health, movement behaviors, and cognitive function, while neighborhood and built environment was associated with mental health and movement behaviors. The social and community context domain stood out, with friendship difficulty and household-based adverse childhood experiences being associated with poorer outcomes on most health indicators.

Conclusion

All five SDOH-related domains are related to aspects of youth health, with the social and community context domain showing the most associations, highlighting the need for interventions to improve social connection and address adverse childhood experiences, which may be more impactful in ameliorating many health-related challenges.

背景很少有研究关注健康的社会决定因素（SDOH）领域对青少年健康的全面影响。本研究旨在调查 "健康 2030 "中与 SDOH 相关的领域（即经济稳定性、教育机会和质量、医疗保健机会和质量、邻里和建筑环境以及社会和社区背景）与美国青少年的心理健康、运动行为和认知功能之间的关联。结果经济稳定性、教育机会和质量、医疗保健机会和质量以及社会和社区环境与心理健康、运动行为和认知功能的至少一项结果测量相关，而邻里和建筑环境与心理健康和运动行为相关。结论所有五个与 SDOH 相关的领域都与青少年健康的各个方面有关，其中社会和社区环境领域显示出最大的关联性，这突出表明需要采取干预措施来改善社会联系和解决不良童年经历问题，这可能会对改善许多与健康相关的挑战产生更大的影响。

Background and aims

Although virtual reality (VR) exercise has attracted attention as a factor in exercise habituation due to its mood-enhancing effects, its impact on brain function remains unclear. This study aimed to explore how VR exercise affects working memory, a key executive function, and its underlying neural mechanisms.

Methods

The study involved 23 healthy university students who engaged in exercise in a VR environment. Outcomes included cardiorespiratory and psychological assessments, as well as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Results

Our findings indicate that a 10-min VR exercise session improved mood (vitality level) and working memory task performance (3-back task) more effectively than exercise or rest alone. Furthermore, the results confirmed that increased vitality from both exercise and VR exercise interventions was associated with improved 3-back task performance. However, specific brain regions contributing to this enhancement remain unidentified.

Conclusion

These results highlight VR exercise as an optimal exercise program for enhancing working memory function by increasing vitality levels. These insights underscore the potential of VR as a novel exercise modality, with benefits extending beyond exercise adherence to potentially prevent dementia and depression.

背景和目的虽然虚拟现实（VR）运动因其增强情绪的效果而作为运动习惯的一个因素引起了人们的关注，但它对大脑功能的影响仍不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 VR 运动如何影响工作记忆（一种关键的执行功能）及其潜在的神经机制。结果我们的研究结果表明，与单独运动或休息相比，10 分钟的 VR 运动能更有效地改善情绪（活力水平）和工作记忆任务表现（3-back 任务）。此外，研究结果还证实，运动和 VR 运动干预所带来的活力提升与 3 向后任务表现的改善有关。这些结果突出表明，VR 运动是通过提高活力水平来增强工作记忆功能的最佳运动项目。这些见解强调了 VR 作为一种新型锻炼方式的潜力，其益处不仅限于坚持锻炼，还可能预防痴呆症和抑郁症。

Objectives

Physical activity (PA) is associated with better mental health in youth. However, most studies involving preterm-born youth and studying the associations between PA and mental health used a cross-sectional design, which limits our understanding of the long-term, dynamic associations between PA and internalizing/externalizing problems in this age group. To address this knowledge gap, this study aims to examine the prospective associations between the time spent in different PA intensity levels and internalizing/externalizing problems in preterm youth.

Methods

In this study, a total of 349 children and adolescents from the Millennium Cohort Study were followed at 7, 11, and 14 years. PA levels were measured using accelerometers at 7 years, and internalizing/externalizing problems were measured at 7 years, 11 years, and 14 years. To determine the associations between the time spent in different PA intensity levels and later internalizing/externalizing problems in preterm youth, linear regression models were performed after adjusting for confounding variables such as gender, ethnicity, and sedentary behavior.

Results

Significant associations between moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA) at 7 years and lower internalizing problems at 11 years (β = −0.024, 95% CI: 0.037, −0.010, p = 0.001) and at 14 years (β = −0.023, 95% CI: 0.037, −0.009, p = 0.001], p = 0.001) were observed.

Conclusions

Among preterm youth, MVPA is prospectively associated with lower internalizing problems, whereas no significant association was found between MVPA and externalizing problems. Thus, future research should investigate how early PA interventions can influence trajectories of internalizing problems in preterm youth.

目标体力活动（PA）与青少年心理健康的改善有关。然而，大多数涉及早产青少年并研究 PA 与心理健康之间关系的研究都采用了横断面设计，这限制了我们对该年龄组中 PA 与内化/外化问题之间长期、动态关系的了解。为了填补这一知识空白，本研究旨在探讨早产青少年不同强度的活动时间与内化/外化问题之间的前瞻性关联。方法在本研究中，我们对千禧年队列研究（Millennium Cohort Study）中的 349 名儿童和青少年进行了 7、11 和 14 年的跟踪调查。在 7 岁时使用加速度计测量 PA 水平，在 7 岁、11 岁和 14 岁时测量内化/外化问题。为了确定不同强度 PA 所花费的时间与早产青少年日后的内化/外化问题之间的关系，在调整了性别、种族和久坐行为等混杂变量后，建立了线性回归模型。结论在早产青少年中，MVPA 与较低的内化问题有前瞻性关联，而 MVPA 与外化问题之间没有发现显著关联。因此，未来的研究应探讨早期 PA 干预如何影响早产青少年的内化问题轨迹。

Background and aims

Research has shown that acute physical activity (PA) improves inhibition performance. However, further information is needed on potential moderators that may influence this effect. Since social interaction (SoI) was proposed as an important PA characteristic influencing the PA-inhibition relation, this study examines the effects of acute PA and SoI on inhibition.

Methods

In a 2

\times

2 within-subject design, 96 participants (17–26 years, M = 20.5; SD = 1.7, 50% female) underwent four experimental conditions, consisting of a cognitively challenging (exer-)game varying in PA (PA/no PA) and SoI (SoI/no SoI). After each condition, inhibition performance was assessed using the Eriksen Flanker Task.

Results

Repeated measures ANOVAs revealed that acute PA enhanced inhibition, leading to faster reaction times (ƞ²_p = 0.169) and higher accuracy rates (ƞ²_p = 0.090). However, the results showed speed-accuracy trade-offs for SoI, with faster reaction times (ƞ²_p = 0.041) and lower accuracy rates (ƞ²_p = 0.140). No interaction effects for PA and SoI on inhibition were observed (ƞ²_ps = 0.005–0.036).

Conclusion

Our findings confirm that an acute bout of cognitively challenging PA can enhance inhibition performance but has no joint effects with SoI, which facilitated performance speed but worsened accuracy. Likely, the physically and cognitively challenging nature of the exergaming bout may have limited room for further improvement by SoI. Future acute PA studies should jointly explore the role of SoI and cognitive engagement in acute PA to identify an optimal pattern of task and context factors for reaping executive functions (EFs) gains.

背景和目的研究表明，急性体力活动（PA）可提高抑制能力。然而，还需要进一步了解可能影响这一效果的潜在调节因素。方法96名参与者（17-26岁，中=20.5；标度=1.7，50%为女性）在2×2受试内设计的四种实验条件下进行了实验，其中包括一个具有认知挑战性的（运动）游戏，游戏中的运动量（运动量/无运动量）和社会交往（社会交往/无社会交往）各不相同。结果重复测量方差分析显示，急性 PA 增强了抑制能力，从而导致更快的反应时间（ƞ2p = 0.169）和更高的准确率（ƞ2p = 0.090）。然而，结果表明，SoI 在速度和准确性之间存在权衡，反应时间更快（ƞ2p = 0.041），准确率更低（ƞ2p = 0.140）。结论我们的研究结果证实，具有认知挑战性的急性 PA 可以提高抑制能力，但与 SoI 没有共同作用，SoI 可以提高反应速度，但会降低准确率。体能和认知挑战性的游戏可能限制了SoI的进一步提高空间。未来的急性运动能力研究应共同探讨SoI和认知参与在急性运动能力中的作用，以确定获得执行功能（EFs）收益的最佳任务和情境因素模式。

Background and aims

Adults with severe mental illness (SMI) have lower physical activity (PA) than the general population. Supervised exercise interventions provide high support but may not effectively promote motivation, which is important for behaviour change. Motivational strategies such as PA counselling may target motivation more directly; however, the effectiveness in people with SMI is unclear.

Methods

This was a randomised controlled trial of interventions designed to promote PA in adults with SMI. Participants were randomised to either: (1) supervised exercise (GYM), or (2) motivational counselling and self-monitoring using fitness trackers (MOT). Group sessions were once/week over 8-weeks. The primary outcome was time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) assessed using GENEActiv accelerometers worn continuously. Change in MVPA was assessed using the cumulative change from baseline, and as a composition of light activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep.

Results

Sixty-four participants were allocated (63% male, 82% overweight/obese, 59% psychotic disorder). Accelerometer-derived MVPA increased for the MOT group between baseline and post-intervention, and the cumulative sum of change in MVPA from baseline in the MOT group was higher than the GYM group. Compositional analyses showed stable weekly activity profiles, with no significant changes attributable to group allocation.

Conclusions

The cumulative change in MVPA was higher for MOT than GYM; however, compositional analyses that considers MVPA as a composition of other daily behaviours showed no change in composition over the intervention period. Exercise interventions should incorporate motivational strategies and supervised exercise; future research should investigate behaviour change interventions with longer durations and more frequent sessions.

Registration details

The trial is registered under the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ACTRN12617001017314).

背景和目的与普通人群相比，患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的成年人的体力活动量（PA）较低。有监督的运动干预措施能提供较高的支持，但可能无法有效提高动机，而动机对于行为改变非常重要。激励策略（如体育锻炼咨询）可能更直接地针对激励；但对 SMI 患者的效果尚不清楚。参与者被随机分配到：(1) 督导锻炼（GYM），或 (2) 激励咨询和使用健身追踪器进行自我监控（MOT）。小组课程为每周一次，为期 8 周。主要结果是使用连续佩戴的 GENEActiv 加速计评估中度到剧烈运动（MVPA）所花费的时间。MVPA 的变化采用与基线相比的累积变化以及轻度活动、久坐行为和睡眠的构成进行评估。从基线到干预后，加速度计得出的MVPA在MOT组有所增加，MOT组MVPA从基线到干预后的累积变化总和高于GYM组。结论MOT组的MVPA累积变化高于GYM组；然而，将MVPA视为其他日常行为的组成的组成分析表明，干预期间的组成没有变化。运动干预措施应包括激励策略和有监督的运动；未来的研究应调查持续时间更长、次数更多的行为改变干预措施。注册详细信息该试验已在澳大利亚和新西兰临床试验注册中心注册（ACTRN12617001017314）。
