The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted governments around the globe to implement vari- ous restriction policies, including lockdown, social distancing, and school closures. Since the health behaviors of children and adolescents can affect the likelihood of subsequent metabolic syndrome, appropriate health behavior interventions for this period are needed. The study confirmed that IL-6 exerts a significant indirect effect between inactive lifestyle and cMetS.
In the inactive lifestyle class, interleukin (IL)-6 and cMetS had a significant association. Subjects were classified into inactive and positive lifestyle classes according to their characteristics. A mediation analysis was performed to access the direct and indirect effects of each class on the continuous metabolic syndrome score (cMetS), with the inflammatory index used as a mediating factor. We identified the health-related lifestyle classes based on health-related behavior indicators in subjects aged 3–15 years who participated in the Ewha Birth and Growth Cohort Study by using a latent class analysis. This study classified health-related behavior classes in childhood and adolescents and analyzed the direct and indirect effects of each class on the metabolic risk in inflammation-mediated pathways. Metabolic syndrome has multiple risk factors, including genetic factors, inappropriate diet, and insufficient physical activity. Keywords: physical activism, specialization, questionnaire, active and passive leisure options, opinionsĬhronic diseases develop via complex pathways, depending on the degree of exposure to risk factors from early in life and childhood onward.
Conclusion: the students from the PES and HLPA groups stand out through a better organization of free time, high satisfaction of its capitalization, a greater involvement in the variants of active leisure and superior socialization, and those from the PT and LLPA groups allocate more time to watching on TV and using the internet. Sports activities and socializing on the internet (defining variant of young people) are at the top, so they do not exclude each other.
Univariate test results indicate significant F values (P <0.05) for a number of items, with weaker values, dominant for PT and LLPA groups. Results: Multivariate analysis indicates significant effects of the physical activity variable on the items of the questionnaire for leisure budget factors, preferred leisure activities, leisure sports activities, and for the specialty variable significant effects are determined only at leisure sports activities, so the level of physical activism will generate more differences between the opinions expressed compared to the specialization of students. The differences for the pairs of independent specialty variables (PES / physical education and sport and PT / physical therapy), respectively physical activity (HLPA / high level of physical activity, and LLPA / low level of physical activity were analyzed, by applying the techniques of MANOVA and ANOVA calculation. Material and method: The research took place in the academic year 2019-2020, on a number of 180 students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports in Galați. Purpose: to investigate students' attitudes, aiming at aspects related to forms of leisure, depending on specialization and level of physical activism, by applying a questionnaire. Leisure activities, their dynamics in ontogenesis and the way of managing the time allocated to them are a topic that is frequently researched.
