The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between meeting recommendations for 24-hour movement behaviors, parental academic support, and student academic achievement in a sample of Alaskan adolescents. Data were obtained from the 2019 Alaska Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS; N = 1,897; mean age = 15.8 ± 1.3 years old). The associations between meeting recommendations for the 24-hour movement behaviors of physical activity, screen use, and sleep with high academic achievement (mostly A’s and B’s) were examined using weighted multivariable logistic regressions. Subpopulation analyses determined if associations differed by levels of parental academic support. Approximately 18.8% of the sample met PA recommendations, 70% met screen use recommendations, and 24.6% met sleep recommendations. Parents providing everyday academic support are associated with higher odds of an adolescent reporting mostly A’s and B’s (OR = 2.03, p < .001). Meeting screen use recommendations associated with high academic achievement in adolescents with less than every day pa-rental academic support (OR = 1.87, p = .001) and meeting sleep recommendations associated with high academic achievement in adolescents with less than every day (OR = 2.20, p = .005) and every day (OR = 1.77, p = .038) parental academic support. Meeting PA recommendations did not associate with high academic achievement. These findings elucidate the complexity of these interrelationships but warrant additional longitudinal investigation.
本研究的目的是研究24小时运动行为建议、父母学业支持和阿拉斯加青少年学习成绩之间的关系。数据来自2019年阿拉斯加青少年风险行为调查(YRBS;N = 1897;平均年龄= 15.8±1.3岁)。采用加权多变量logistic回归检验了24小时体育活动、屏幕使用和睡眠与高学业成绩(主要是A和B)之间的联系。亚群体分析确定了这种关联是否因父母学业支持水平的不同而不同。大约18.8%的样本符合PA建议，70%符合屏幕使用建议，24.6%符合睡眠建议。提供日常学业支持的父母与青少年报告A和B的几率较高相关(OR = 2.03, p < 0.001)。在父母每天提供的学习支持少于父母每天提供的学习支持(OR = 1.87, p = .001)的青少年中，满足屏幕使用建议与高学习成绩相关;在父母每天(OR = 2.20, p = .005)和每天(OR = 1.77, p = .038)的青少年中，满足睡眠建议与高学习成绩相关。达到个人助理的建议与高学术成就没有联系。这些发现阐明了这些相互关系的复杂性，但需要进一步的纵向调查。

The overall aim for this study was to create and validate an instrument that helps researchers measure and better understand classroom teachers’ efficacy toward providing physical activity throughout the school day. The development of the Teacher Efficacy Toward Providing Physical Activity in the Classroom Scale (TETPPACS) occurred in two phases. First, in study one, after item development and face validity review, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted with pilot data (N = 320) to discover the factor structure of the TETPPACS. Second, with a follow-up sample (N = 192), a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to confirm the factor structure and measurement quality of the instrument. The final bi-factor model with three efficacy-specific constructs and the general efficacy construct resulted in an acceptable fitting two-group configural model across elementary and high school teachers ( =363.791; CFI=.91; TLI=.87; SRMR=.066; RMSEA=.081). The results of this study suggest the new TETPPACS is a valid and reliable instrument to measure classroom teacher’s efficacy toward providing physical activity during the school day. This instrument can help researchers further investigate how teacher efficacy relates to implementation and facilitation of physical activity experiences throughout the school day.

Life satisfaction is an overall cognitive evaluation of an individual's living condition for the most of time or over a certain period of time according to the standard of one’s own choice. It is an important psychological variable in the developmental stage of children and adolescents. Some studies had shown that life satisfaction was closely related to children's and adolescents' mental health levels, including their emotional and behavioral conditions. However, the Blue Book for Children: China Children's Development Report (2020) published by China Children's Center stated that Chinese students did not fare well in terms of life satisfaction. Previous studies had indicated that physical exercise was an important factor that had a positive effect on life satisfaction, as well as on self-confidence and resilience. Also, there is a correlation between self-confidence, resilience, and life satisfaction. Nonetheless, few studies have researched the role of self-confidence and resilience in the impact of physical exercise on the life satisfaction of primary school students. To explore the mediating role of self-confidence and resilience between physical exercise and life satisfaction, in order to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for how to effectively promote life satisfaction and psychological well-being of primary school students in the practice of physical exercise. Group measurements of 1009 students (519 boys and 490 girls; 576 fifth graders and 433 sixth graders) are carried out by using the Scale of Physical Exercise Level, Children and Adolescent Self-Confidence Scale, Children and Adolescent Life Satisfaction Scale, and Adolescent Resilience Scale, and Structural Equation Model and Bootstrap are used to analyze the mediating effect of self-confidence and resilience. The results reveal that there is a positive correlation between physical exercise and life satisfaction(r=0.218), but the effect on life satisfaction is not significant (P=0.516); the indirect effect of physical exercise on life satisfaction consists of two paths: physical exercise to self-confidence to life satisfaction (95% CI: 0.128,0.267); physical exercise to self-confidence to resilience to life satisfaction (95% CI:0.109,0.209). It is concluded that physical exercise has an indirect but significant effect on primary school students' life satisfaction--the independent mediating effect of self-confidence and the chain mediation effect of self-confidence and resilience. The study further confirms that physical exercise can promote students' self-confidence levels and the formation of tenacious psychological quality, thus improving their life satisfaction levels. Therefore, society, schools and families should pay close attention to the positive effects of physical exercise on primary school students’ emotional and behavioral conditions.

The mental health of college students is an increasingly serious public health problem. Effective and healthy interventions are needed. More and more research has been conducted on yoga, but there are few randomized controlled trials (RTC) on effects of yoga intervention on students' mental health. Therefore, this study examined effects of quality of yoga intervention on mental health in college students. We used PubMed (Medline), Cochrane, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP) and WanFang Database to search randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of yoga intervention in college students' mental health. After the screening, 17 articles met the requirements and were included along with the utilization of the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool Rob2.0 to evaluate the quality of the included articles. Of 17 articles reviewed, three articles were rated as "low risk of bias", five articles were rated as "possibly at risk of bias", and nine articles were rated as "high risk of bias". The 17 studies predominantly consist of low methodological quality and lack multi-centered, large-sample collaborative research. Almost all researchers mentioned the use of "randomization" in their articles, but they did not indicate which randomization method was used. There was no description of allocation concealment, blinding, case shedding, case follow-up etc., and it was impossible to judge whether the trial design was correct, or whether random grouping was, indeed, undertaken. This study found that most of the so-called "randomized controlled trials" are doubtful, which virtually reduces the strength and credibility of this study. Therefore, improving the research quality of yoga intervention and standardizing the writing of scientific research articles are the problems need to be solved in the current field of sports psychology research in China. Current evidence shows that yoga exercise can relax the body and mind, thereby improving the level of mental health, and complete yoga (exercise, breathing, meditation) significantly relieves the symptoms of depression. Performing yoga postures and exercises promotes blood circulation, effectively improves sleep, and regulates breathing to stabilize autonomic nerves, relieve stress, and eliminate mental tension. In the future, yoga practice can be used as a non-medical intervention to treat mental illness. The quality of the current randomized controlled trials of yoga intervention in the mental health of college students is generally low. Randomized controlled trials with reasonable methodological design, strict implementation, and sufficient follow-up time are still needed. It is recommended that researchers should strengthen the systematic study of clinical trial methodology and strictly refer to the Cochrane manual list for clinical research reports in order to improve the quality of literature reports.
大学生心理健康是一个日益严重的公共卫生问题。需要采取有效和健康的干预措施。关于瑜伽的研究越来越多，但关于瑜伽干预对学生心理健康影响的随机对照试验(RTC)却很少。因此，本研究旨在探讨瑜伽干预质量对大学生心理健康的影响。我们使用PubMed (Medline)、Cochrane、Web of Science、中国知网(CNKI)、维普中国科技期刊数据库(VIP)和万方数据库检索瑜伽干预大学生心理健康的随机对照试验(RCTs)。筛选后，符合纳入条件的文献17篇，并采用Cochrane偏倚风险评估工具Rob2.0对纳入文献的质量进行评价。在回顾的17篇文章中，3篇文章被评为“低偏倚风险”，5篇文章被评为“可能存在偏倚风险”，9篇文章被评为“高偏倚风险”。这17项研究主要是方法学质量较低，缺乏多中心、大样本的合作研究。几乎所有的研究人员都在他们的文章中提到了“随机化”的使用，但他们没有指出使用了哪种随机化方法。没有对分配隐藏、盲法、病例脱落、病例随访等的描述，无法判断试验设计是否正确，是否确实进行了随机分组。本研究发现，大多数所谓的“随机对照试验”都是可疑的，这无形中降低了本研究的强度和可信度。因此，提高瑜伽干预的研究质量，规范科研论文的写作，是目前国内运动心理学研究领域需要解决的问题。目前的证据表明，瑜伽运动可以放松身心，从而提高心理健康水平，完成瑜伽(运动、呼吸、冥想)可以显著缓解抑郁症状。进行瑜伽体式和练习，促进血液循环，有效改善睡眠，调节呼吸，稳定自主神经，缓解压力，消除精神紧张。在未来，瑜伽练习可以作为一种非医疗干预来治疗精神疾病。目前关于瑜伽干预大学生心理健康的随机对照试验的质量普遍较低。随机对照试验方法设计合理，实施严格，随访时间充足。建议研究者加强对临床试验方法学的系统研究，严格参照Cochrane临床研究报告手册清单，以提高文献报告质量。

This meta-analysis aimed to examine the influences of physical activity (PA) interventions on heart rate variability (HRV) among healthy but physically inactive adults aged 18 to 65 years old. PubMed, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science online databases were searched in September 2021. The eligibility criteria were: (1) peer-reviewed articles in English; (2) randomized controlled trials; (3) healthy but physically inactive adults aged 18 to 65 years; (4) at least two-week PA intervention; (5) available frequency domain result. The data were extracted to a pre-designed form. The primary outcome of this study was the frequency domain of HRV, which included natural log-transformed total power, low frequency and high frequency (lnTP, lnLF and lnHF), normalized units of LF and HF (LFnu and HFnu), and LF/HF ratio. Pooled estimates of differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI) between the PA intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) were obtained using random-effects models. Six studies were identified in the meta-analysis. There was no significant difference between IG and CG in lnTP (SMD: 0.16, 95% CI: [-0.28, 0.60], p = 0.48), lnLF (SMD: -0.04, 95% CI: [-0.34, 0.42], p = 0.84), lnHF (SMD: 0.03, 95% CI: [-0.23, 0.29], p = 0.81) and LF/HF ratio(MD: -0.21, 95% CI: [-0.48, 0.07], p = 0.14). The results indicated that the LFnu in IG was significantly lower than that in CG (MD: -3.41, 95% CI: [-5.09, -1.73], p < 0.01) while HFnu in IG was significantly higher than that in CG (MD: 3.39, 95% CI: 1.72, 5.07], p < 0.01). The increased HFnu and decreased LFnu after PA interventions indicated a more balanced autonomic nervous system. HRV may be a mediator between PA intervention and other health benefits. The measurements of HRV were inconsistent and increased the variation between studies. The sample sizes of IG or CG in the included studies were small (range from 9 to 26), which limited the power to detect significant differences. This study did not analyze the influence of dose-response and different types of PA interventions due to the limited number of eligible studies. The current evidence suggested that PA interventions benefit HRV in healthy but physically inactive adults aged 18 to 65 years old. Future research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm our findings.
本荟萃分析旨在检查身体活动(PA)干预对18至65岁健康但不运动的成年人心率变异性(HRV)的影响。在2021年9月检索了PubMed、SPORTDiscus和Web of Science在线数据库。入选标准为:(1)同行评议的英文文章;(2)随机对照试验;(3) 18岁至65岁身体健康但缺乏体育活动的成年人;(4)至少两周的PA干预;(5)可用频域结果。数据被提取到预先设计的表格中。本研究的主要终点是HRV的频域，包括自然对数变换后的总功率、低频和高频(lnTP、lnLF和lnHF)、LF和HF归一化单位(LFnu和HFnu)以及LF/HF比值。采用随机效应模型对PA干预组(IG)和对照组(CG)的差异和95%置信区间(CI)进行汇总估计。在荟萃分析中确定了6项研究。IG与CG在lnTP (SMD: 0.16, 95% CI: [-0.28, 0.60]， p = 0.48)、lnLF (SMD: -0.04, 95% CI: [-0.34, 0.42]， p = 0.84)、lnHF (SMD: 0.03, 95% CI: [-0.23, 0.29]， p = 0.81)和LF/HF比值(MD: -0.21, 95% CI: [-0.48, 0.07]， p = 0.14)方面无显著差异。结果显示，IG组的LFnu显著低于CG组(MD: -3.41, 95% CI: [-5.09， -1.73]， p < 0.01)， IG组的HFnu显著高于CG组(MD: 3.39, 95% CI: 1.72, 5.07]， p < 0.01)。PA干预后HFnu升高和LFnu降低表明自主神经系统更加平衡。HRV可能是PA干预与其他健康益处之间的中介。HRV的测量结果不一致，增加了研究之间的差异。在纳入的研究中，IG或CG的样本量很小(范围从9到26)，这限制了检测显着差异的能力。由于符合条件的研究数量有限，本研究未分析剂量反应和不同类型PA干预的影响。目前的证据表明，PA干预有利于18至65岁健康但缺乏运动的成年人的HRV。未来需要更大样本量的研究来证实我们的发现。

After winning the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, ice hockey has become more popular in colleges in China. However, the challenges to college hockey’s development in China are not surprising as new markets tend to experience struggles due to the fluidity of logics (Thornton & Ocasio, 2008) and issues of establishing legitimacy (Deephouse & Suchman, 2008). Considering this, those hoping to establish new sport institutions within untapped contexts are burdened with the arduous task of simultaneously creating and maintaining institutional structures while working to establish legitimacy (Washington, 2004). In this study, we draw from the concept of institutional work to understand how Chinese collegiate administrations and other relevant stakeholders have created, built, and sustained the emergent ice hockey environment for universities in China. This inquiry was guided by the following research questions: what factors at various institutional levels influenced the development of college ice hockey in China? How did institutional leaders utilize Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics to leverage the development of college ice hockey? To answer these questions, we employed qualitative case study methodology. Primary data were collected through 18 semi-structured interviews with university faculty, student athletes, and administrative officials. Secondary data were collected via archived documents from numerous sources. Data analysis was consistent with the Gioia methodology, wherein we identified first-order concepts, second-order themes, and aggregate theoretical dimensions (Gioia, Corley, & Hamilton, 2012). Preliminary findings suggest the development of college ice hockey in China has framed the development model with opportunities and multiple resources. Organizing capability, the hockey infrastructure, and legitimating issues impacted the development of college ice hockey. The 2022 Winter Olympics is a good opportunity for developing college ice hockey and it is bringing in additional funding and support to college hockey teams and athletes. The development of college ice hockey in China always combines with nationalism, and some student athletes also represent the national team for China. In addition, youth ice hockey development in Beijing and Heilongjiang is providing ice hockey talents for the college hockey teams around China. College ice hockey in China was facing challenges in an environment from different institutional logic orders. This study provides insights into the relationship among the nationalism, Olympics, and the development of winter sport in college. Additionally, this research outlined how public and private actors may work to create new governance structures that may be seen as legitimate.

The requirement of "building a higher-level National Fitness Public Service system centering on meeting the needs of the people" by the Chinese State Council is to guarantee and satisfy the demand of public through effective supply. However, despite of the clear purpose of the task, there is still a gap between the actual and the expected status of National Fitness Public Service supply. Based on the characteristics of the perspective of space, the purpose of this study is to examine how to measure and achieve the effectiveness of National Fitness Public Service’s supply. By reviewing the literature, relevant results of the performance evaluation system of National Fitness Public Service are sorted to provide theoretical support for the value orientation, index selection and other processes of the evaluation system constructed in this study. Current regulations on National Fitness Public Service in various fields in China are classified, and representative indicators are compared, analyzed, and summarized as the reference basis for evaluation standards. The value orientation of the evaluation system is shown in three levels in the spatial dimension: "ensuring spatial justice", "adapting to spatial needs" and "building value consensus". The spatial evaluation system is constructed based on the three-dimensional evaluation dimensions of "supply capacity", "behavioral demand" and "The degree of spatial coupling", this evaluation system comprehensively reflects the subjective and objective evaluation results. The study shows that when exploring reasons for insufficient effectiveness, factors should be analyzed from both of supply and demand sides. The evaluation results of the evaluation system are characterized by being Relative and Developmental. The evaluation results should be based on the relative effectiveness results produced by comparison, and absolute judgment should be avoided. The relative evaluation results focus on finding the elements, links and mechanisms with deficiencies, avoid stopping at the judgment of pros and cons, and should promote self-perfection, stimulate self-innovation and finally achieve the goal of self-development.

This paper explored the restrictive factors of realizing the integration of sports and medicine in China under the background of “COVID-19 pandemic” and analyzed the path of realizing the integration of sports and medicine by combining it with “Healthy China” strategy and “National Fitness Program”. We used document and expert interview method. In the new era, people’s desire for a better life has become the most extensive demand, and the sudden outbreak of epidemic makes people’s demand for health become the first demand. The importance of people’s health raises “Healthy China” as the national development strategy, which has become the opportunities to realize the “integration of sports and medicine”. At present, China has formed three “sports-medical integration” models: the combination of the government and the market, the fitness guidance center of the hospital and the physique monitoring center of the community. Among them, the model of community physique monitoring center is in line with China's national conditions, but the development of this model still needs policy and financial support. At present, China’s “integration of sports and medicine” is still facing a few challenges: a) The conceptual understanding remains weak while the belief to medical treatment and negligence of sports is strong; b) There is lack of standards of sports knowledge and skills, so it is difficult to reach a consensus; c) The sports and medicine industry has a low level of integration and lacks an integrated environment. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is not only a challenge but also an opportunity to realize the integration of sports and medicine. At present, with the support of national strategy, “integration of sports and medicine” is in the best historical development opportunity. At the same time, however, it also faces a series of contradictions. In this regard, it is necessary to deepen the essence of the two to carry out conceptual innovation and enhance the national recognition of the functional value of “sports-medicine integration”. Strategies include cooperating with sports medicine institutions to build a service platform, strengthening the integration of sports and medicine disciplines while building a qualification certification system and cultivating comprehensive talents, and improving the environment of “integration of sports and medicine” with building the foundation of harmonious symbiosis.

Common treatment of leukemia will have side effects on nerve function, affecting the patient's physical function, which makes patients often accompanied by infection, bone and joint pain, fatigue and other symptoms. Exercise can improve the level of body function, enable patients to tolerate stronger chemotherapy during treatment, help improve the survival rate and recovery chances of patients, and has been used as an effective means to promote recovery. Recommendations for leukemia and exercise have been primarily based on the results of existing relevant studies. To provide more targeted recommendations for the leukemia, we gathered evidence for the efficacy of exercise for leukemia, and concluded with recommendations for exercise prescription for the rehabilitation of patients with leukemia during and after chemotherapy. We used "leukemia", "exercise" as keywords, retrieving related literatures in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed and Web of Science databases by December 20, 2021. Based on the analysis of research methods and outcome indicators, we extracted the exercise prescription for leukemia patients. Relative safe and effective exercise prescriptions were obtained for leukemia patients. For example, for patients with cardiopulmonary injury, a 6-minute walk can be more safely used for testing, aerobic exercise can be performed for 3-5 days/week, and each exercise time can be gradually increased from 10min to more than 30min. Also, it may be more effective to replace HHR (40%~59%) with RPE (12~13) for their intensity monitoring. Therapeutic exercise, especially with an element of strengthening combined with aerobic training, is an efficacious treatment for leukemia. Notably, with the development of technology, the ways of exercise available are diversifying, many complementary training methods such as Spotlight program, Team works, are also effective. At the same time, multi-mode, remote and home interventions are becoming more and more popular, providing a new direction for patient prognosis. However, the prescription recommendations are only for practical reference. There are insufficient high quality studies on exercise rehabilitation and prescription for patients with leukemia and various complications, and more research support is needed to develop more accurate exercise prescription.
白血病的常见治疗会对神经功能产生副作用，影响患者的身体功能，使患者经常伴有感染、骨关节疼痛、疲劳等症状。运动可以提高身体功能水平，使患者在治疗过程中能够耐受更强的化疗，有助于提高患者的生存率和康复机会，并已被用作促进康复的有效手段。对白血病和运动的建议主要基于现有相关研究的结果。为了为白血病提供更有针对性的建议，我们收集了运动治疗白血病疗效的证据，并提出了运动处方对白血病患者化疗期间和化疗后康复的建议。截至2021年12月20日，我们以“白血病”、“运动”为关键词，在CNKI、VIP、万方、PubMed和Web of Science数据库中检索相关文献。在分析研究方法和结果指标的基础上，我们提取了白血病患者的运动处方。为白血病患者提供了相对安全有效的运动处方。例如，对于心肺损伤患者，6分钟的步行可以更安全地用于测试，有氧运动可以进行3-5天/周，每次运动时间可以从10分钟逐渐增加到30分钟以上。此外，用RPE（12~13）代替HHR（40%~59%）对其强度监测可能更有效。治疗性运动，尤其是强化和有氧训练相结合的运动，是治疗白血病的有效方法。值得注意的是，随着技术的发展，可用的锻炼方式正在多样化，许多互补的训练方法，如聚光灯计划、团队合作，也很有效。与此同时，多模式、远程和家庭干预越来越流行，为患者预后提供了新的方向。然而，处方建议仅供实际参考。关于白血病和各种并发症患者的运动康复和处方的高质量研究还不够，需要更多的研究支持来开发更准确的运动处方。

School education has focused on the fields of students’ literacy instead of specific subjects. The cultivation of physical literacy (PL) is gaining more and more attention in western countries, but few studies on this topic were found in China. The purpose of this research was to unfold the experience of Welsh adolescent PL and to provide enlightenment to China. This study analyzed the cultivation of Welsh adolescents’ PL through literature, logical analysis, and semi-structured interviews with eleven experts. The constant comparative method was used to analyze interview transcripts for common themes. During analysis, triangulation, negative case checks, member checks, and an extensive peer review were used. The findings revealed a) reasons that accelerating the development of adolescent PL in Wales include the national health crisis, inequalities in the health rights caused by the gap between rich and poor, and the changes of school physical education values. b) The strategies to cultivate Welsh adolescents’ PL include (1) following the law of physical and mental development of adolescents to strengthen the continuity of the training process; (2) supporting the development of adolescents’ motor skills with the efforts of schools, communities, and families; (3) emphasizing the peer effects of students with excellent PL; (4) providing financial support and opportunities for poor students to participate in sports activities. c) Successful experiences in promoting adolescents’ PL in Welsh schools are (1) taking physical education as the national core curriculum; (2) adopting comprehensive interdisciplinary learning instead of traditional school specific subjects; (3) establishing positive play-based learning environment. This study shows that Wales has gained a lot of experience and success in developing PL among young people, thus can shed light to the development of PL in Chinese adolescents. In the future, China should develop strategies for vulnerable groups’ PL, integrate PL cultivation into the school physical education curriculum, and support subject integration for students’ PL. School, community, and family should strengthen their cooperation to develop adolescents’ PL.
