Temporal trends in 6-minute walking distance for older Japanese adults between 1998 and 2017

BackgroundThe 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) is an excellent measure of both functional endurance and health. The primary aim of this study was to estimate temporal trends in 6MWD for older Japanese adults between 1998 and 2017; the secondary aim was to estimate concurrent trends in body size (i.e., height and mass) and self-reported participation in exercise/sport.MethodsAdults aged 65–79 years were included. Annual nationally representative 6MWD data (n = 103,505) for the entire period were obtained from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Temporal trends in means (and relative frequencies) were estimated at the gender–age level by best-fitting sample-weighted linear/polynomial regression models, with national trends estimated by a post-stratified population-weighting procedure. Temporal trends in distributional variability were estimated as the ratio of coefficients of variation.ResultsBetween 1998 and 2017 there was a steady, moderate improvement in mean 6MWD (absolute = 45 m (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 43–47); percent = 8.0% (95%CI: 7.6%–8.4%); effect size = 0.51 (95%CI: 0.48–0.54)). Gender- and age-related temporal differences in means were negligible. Variability in 6MWD declined substantially (ratio of coefficients of variation = 0.89, 95%CI: 0.87–0.92), with declines larger for women compared to men, and for 75–79-year-olds compared to 65–74-year-olds. Correspondingly, there were moderate and negligible increases in mean height and mass, respectively, and negligible increases in the percentage who participated in exercise/sport at least 3 days per week and at least 30 min per session.ConclusionThere has been a steady, moderate improvement in mean 6MWD for older Japanese adults since 1998, which is suggestive of corresponding improvements in both functional endurance and health. The substantial decline in variability indicates that the temporal improvement in mean 6MWD was not uniform across the distribution. Trends in 6MWD are probably influenced by corresponding trends in body size and/or participation in exercise/sport.

衡水湖国家级自然保护区湿地景观格局演变分析

基于1987年、1997年和2005年3期TM遥感数据,对衡水湖的湿地景观空间格局及其演变进行分析,结果表明：该区域以农田为景观基质,水体和芦苇沼泽交错分布构成区域湿地生境的主体斑块,其余景观类型呈以小尺度斑块散布于区域中。保护区湿地景观改变较明显,湿地由1987年的20.2%上升到1997年的23.4%,2005年占到22.3%,农田向湿地类型的转变最为显著,农田和湿地类型之间的动态转换关系很大程度上决定了保护区土地利用结构和景观格局的演变。从景观类型水平来看,表现为水体的平均斑块面积增加,由1987年的3.5187hm²减到1997年的2.0187hm²到2005年为4.3997hm²,破碎度指数下降;聚合度指数和最大斑块指数先降后升,而连接度指数先增后减;芦苇沼泽平均斑块面积下降明显,由1987年的2.6169hm²降到1997年的0.5437hm²,到2005年为0.3558hm²,且形状日趋复杂自然,最大斑块指数和聚合度指数持续减少,而连接度指数的变化趋势则相反,但总体上芦苇沼泽沼泽小面积斑块数量仍占相当比例,破碎化程度仍维持较高水平。在景观整体水平上,保护区的景观多样性和均匀度指数呈缓慢上升趋势,破碎化指数由1987年的51.068增到1997年的74.0985后2005年减为37.88,以农田为景观基质的蔓延度指数则先降后升。景观格局分析表明,衡水湖保护区湿地面积逐步恢复,破碎化程度降低且景观日趋多样化,连通性虽不及1987年历史最高水平却呈加强趋势,湿地生境质量得到优化,2005年湿地恢复的景观格局的空间配置达到3个时期的历史最高水平,也体现了保护区规划管理取得一定成效。

农村社会纠纷解决机制的变迁研究

中国农村社会由传统向现代蜕变的过程中其纠纷日益复杂化,与之相应的纠纷解决机制也逐渐多元化。同时,作为正式纠纷解决机制的国家法律制度在当今的农村社会纠纷解决过程发挥着越来越重要的作用。国家法律与传统的纠纷解决模式共同建构了当下中国农村社会中的纠纷解决的多元机制。     

促进身体锻炼行为的阶段性改变理论研究述评

身体锻炼行为转变的研究源自促进个体健康的研究,身体锻炼行为研究是健康促进研究的一个重要领域。促进身体锻炼行为的研究是这一领域的重要内容。为了解释身体活动行为或者为了说明身体锻炼行为受哪些因素影响,研究人员提出了一些身体锻炼行为的理论模型,行为的阶段性改变理论是其中重要的理论之一。行为的阶段性改变模式把行为阶段和过程的概念应用到为了行为的改变而设计的可变程序活动中。这些阶段通过一系列修正行为的活动与行为改变联系在一起,认为修正行为的活动过程就是行为改变的过程。     

浅谈太极拳作为老年人健身项目的优越性

老年人群是一个在生理和心理都处于特殊阶段的人群,在选择健身养生项目时受到自身生理和心理条件的限制。太极拳是中华传统武术项目之一,扎根于中国传统哲学、中国传统养生学、中国传统医学、中国传统美学等多学科的广袤而深厚的领域,动作舒缓,易学易记,以意导气,雍容大雅,飘举若仙,松静自然,道法天地,身心合修,是老年人理想的健身养生项目。文章从现代健康观的角度,对太极拳对老年人的身体、心理和社会适应能力等方面的影响进行了分析研究,为老年人选择健身养生项目提出参考建议。

Light-load maximal lifting velocity full squat training program improves important physical and skill characteristics in futsal players

This study aimed to compare the effect of 6 weeks of resistance training or combined resistance training and change of direction exercises on physical performance and motor skills in futsal players. Thirty-four futsal players were divided into full squat group (SG, n = 12), combined full squat and change of direction exercises group (S+CDG, n = 12) and control group (CG, n = 10). The resistance training for SG consisted of full squat with low load (~45–58% 1RM) and low volume (4–6 repetitions), whereas the S+CDG performed the same resistance training program combined with loaded change of direction. Sprint time in 10 and 20 m, change of direction test, countermovement vertical jump (CMJ) height, maximal strength and force–velocity relationship in full squat exercise, kicking speed ball (BS_mean) and repeated sprint ability (RSA_mean) were selected as testing variables. Both experimental groups showed significant improvements for CMJ, BS_mean and all strength parameters. Only SG resulted in significant sprint gains, whereas S+CDG also achieved significant improvements in RSA_mean. The CG remained unchanged after training period. No significant differences were found between both experimental groups. These findings suggest that only 12 sessions of either lightweight resistance training alone, lifting the load at maximal intended velocity or combined with change of direction exercises is enough to improve several physical and skills capacities critical to futsal performance in adult players.     

重庆市制造业的绿色经济增长核算:2001—2010

基于生产前沿理论的绿色经济增长核算模型,不仅将技术无效率和环境代价纳入了分析框架,而且还与"物质平衡思路"一致;该模型将绿色经济增长的源泉分解为环境约束下的技术进步、技术效率变化和资本深化3大部分。对重庆市27个制造行业的经验分析结论表明:经济增长中普遍存在着技术无效率现象,但50%以上行业的技术效率都得到了改善或维持不变;资本深化是经济增长的主要源泉,而技术进步主导的全要素生产率变动在其中的贡献相对较小;技术进步是引致全要素生产率增长的主要原因。为充分发挥重庆市制造业可持续发展潜力,后续发展中必须转变经济发展方式,在环境约束下走技术进步和技术效率改善的绿色全要素生产率增长之路。
