Adolescents’ Physical Activity and Depressive Symptoms: A Psychosocial Mechanism
Article tests a hypothesized path model of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) variables (i.e., attitude toward behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention) with physical activity (PA) and depressive symptoms. The findings support the theoretical tenets of TPB and provide empirical evidence of the psychosocial mechanism of PA and depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents. It suggests that building PA intervention strategies while considering the TPB framework may promote adolescents’ physical and mental health.
The Concise Health Risk Tracking - Self-Report (CHRT-SR)—A measure of suicidal risk: Performance in adolescent outpatients
Article describes how the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (CHRT-SR) assesses the risk of suicidal behavior. The authors report its psychometric properties in a representative sample of adolescent outpatients.
Correspondence in parents' and children's concepts of god: Investigating the role of parental values, religious practices and executive functioning
This article is a study examining the extent to which children's concepts of God correspond with their parents' concepts of God. It also examines how parent-context factors and children's executive functioning relate to parent–child conceptual similarity.
Dynamic cerebral autoregulation is intact in chronic kidney disease
Article describes how chronic kidney disease patients experience an elevated risk for cerebrovascular disease, and a factor that may contribute to this is an impairment in dynamic cerebral autoregulation. The authors test their hypothesis by comparing dynamic cerebral autoregulation between CKD patients stages III-IV and matched controls (CON) without CKD.
Effects of an exogenous ketone ester using multi-omics in skeletal muscle of aging C57BL/6J male mice
Article shows that oral R,S-1,3, butanediol diacetoacetate (BD-AcAc2) consumption results in body weight loss or maintenance with moderate increases in circulating ketones. The purpose of this study was to determine if a diet consisting of 25% BD-AcAc2 (ketone ester, KE) would alter body composition, transcriptional regulation, the proteome, and the lipidome of skeletal muscle in aged mice.
Examining Youth Conceptualizations of Water Safety Behaviors among Participants in a Learn-to-Swim Program
Article presents a qualitative-based study evaluating how youth apply learned water safety concepts when posed with a hypothetical aquatic scenario.
Longer Nap Duration During Ramadan Observance Positively Impacts 5-m Shuttle Run Test Performance Performed in the Afternoon
This article presents a study with the aim of examining the effect of different naps opportunities’ durations during Ramadan on performance of short-duration repetitive maximal exercise and perception of effort.
Pilot Testing a Series of Value-Based Care Training Courses
Article presents a study that demonstrates a pilot test consisting of a series of online courses designed to teach clinicians value-based care principles and practices with the goal of facilitating change to a value-based care model.
Sex-specific mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy response to muscle damage
Article presents a study examining the effect of sex-specific resistance exercise (RE)-induced hormonal response on mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy after muscle damage in untrained men and women.
Social-Ecological Factors Predict College Students’ Physical Activities and Sedentary Behavior
Article investigates the predictive strengths of individual, social, and physical environmental factors toward different intensities of physical activity and sedentary behavior among college students. Correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were performed to examine the associations and the relative contributions of those individual, social, and physical environmental factors to physical activity and sedentary behavior, respectively.
Social Emotional Learning Competencies in Belize Children: Psychometric Validation Through Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
Article presents a study that demonstrates the application of Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling to existing measures through the investigation of structural validity and generalizability of the Social-Emotional and Character Development Scale with a large sample of children from schools in Belize. Using this newer factor analytic procedure, original factors are reconceptualized to better situate the Social Emotional Character Development Scales into the larger body of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies literature.
