Joint Associations Of Physical Activity And Mindfulness Meditation With 12‑Month Self‑Rated Health Change Among U.S. Adults: A National Health Interview Survey Study, Yubing Wang Nov 2026

Joint Associations Of Physical Activity And Mindfulness Meditation With 12‑Month Self‑Rated Health Change Among U.S. Adults: A National Health Interview Survey Study, Yubing Wang

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Background: Lifestyle medicine emphasizes scalable behaviors that improve patient-centered health trajectories. Physical activity (PA) and mindfulness meditation are widely promoted, but nationally representative evidence on their joint engagement is limited. Methods:We analyzed adults from the 2012 and 2017 National Health Interview Survey (n=57,166). Guideline-level leisure-time PA and past-year mindfulness meditation formed four groups: Neither, PA only, Meditation only, and Both. The outcome was reporting better versus same or worse health relative to 12 months earlier. Survey-weighted models estimated adjusted probabilities, probability differences (PDs), and prevalence ratios (PRs). Results: Adjusted probabilities were 32.3% for Both, 27.7% for Meditation only, 22.4% …

Leveraging Mobile Health To Prevent Coronary Artery Disease Through Physical Activity Promotion Among Underserved Youth, Alina Yang, Jessh M. Mavoungou, Matthew C. Miller, Zarmina Amin, Zan Gao

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Coronary artery disease (CAD) develops earlier than often recognized, with underserved youth facing disproportionate cardiometabolic risk. Low participation in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA) is a key driver. This viewpoint explores how mobile health (mHealth) technologies can serve as tools to increase PA engagement among underserved youth, guided by a combined Self-Determination Theory and RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework. It highlights current barriers to mHealth adoption, limited cultural relevance, engagement challenges, and accessibility gaps, and presents key considerations for designing culturally informed, age-tailored, and youth-centered mHealth interventions. Overall, the paper calls for a more inclusive and targeted approach …

The independent variable in this study was a recorded binary response item asking about sexual orientation. The dependent variable was a …


The Meaning Of Physical Activity In The Context Of Health Sciences: A Concept Analysis, Martín G. Farinola May 2026

The Meaning Of Physical Activity In The Context Of Health Sciences: A Concept Analysis, Martín G. Farinola

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Physical activity has been defined in numerous ways. Thus, this study aimed to conduct a concept analysis of the existing physical activity definitions in the health sciences literature to evaluate its conceptual precision and assess the need for a revised or novel concept better suited for this domain. The concept analysis was accomplished using tools derived from philosophical semantics. The analysis identified six definitions that explicitly state what physical activity is with sufficient clarity to allow for conceptual examination. The findings indicated that these definitions frequently merge the concept of physical activity with its contextual attributes. To address these semantic …

Social Support And Mental Toughness As Predictors Of Perceived Stress Among College Kinesiology Students, Jianmin Guan, Wan Xiang Yao, Xiaofen D. Hamilton, Gaofeng Lu

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Drawing on Lazarus and Folkman’s transactional theory of stress and coping, this study examined the associations of age, gender, three types of social support (family, friends, and significant others), and mental toughness with two dimensions of perceived stress (helplessness and coping inefficacy) among 666 college students majoring in Kinesiology. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that male college students, as well as those with higher levels of mental toughness and family support, reported significantly lower levels of helplessness and coping inefficacy in managing stress. Additionally, greater support from friends was significantly associated with lower levels of coping inefficacy, while younger students …
