The effect of three-week Multiple-joint exercise combined with self-efficacy theory on self-efficacy in obese older adults. Kanlayawut, O.1, Kritpet, T.2, Maphong, R.3 Faculty of Sports Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand INTRODUCTION: Multiple-joint exercise tends to be more effective in improving a variety of health outcomes across demographics, and self-efficacy theory can increase self-efficacy in older adults. However, the effectiveness of multiple-joint exercise combined with self-efficacy theory on self-efficacy in elderly people with obesity is unknown. This study measured and compared the self-efficacy changes to multiple-joint exercise (MJ) vs. multiple-joint exercise with self-efficacy theory (MJS) in obese older adults. METHODS: The study included 45 obese seniors (MJ group; n = 22, BMI = 25.65±2.61 kg/m2; MJS group; n = 23, BMI =25.91±3.17 kg/m2) aged 60-75 years. MJ consisted of 8 exercises of 2 sets per exercise alternating with resting 1 minute between sets (MJ 60 minutes/day; exercise 40 minutes, warm-up, and cool-down 10 minutes) for 3 day/week. Self-efficacy theory consisted of four primary source: (a) master experiences: giving knowledge of multi-joint exercise; (b) modeling: 30-minute conversation with a model (c) verbal and compliment: encouraging and complimenting; (d) emotional arousal: giving awards for leaders. The MJ group received MJ only, but MJS group received MJ combined with self-efficacy theory. Self-efficacy was assessed by questionnaire. RESULTS: Both groups had significantly greater knowledge (pre vs. post; MJS = 5.91±1.8 vs. 8.13±1.3; MJ =6.41±1.3 vs. 7.54±1.7) and self-efficacy for multi-joint exercise knowledge (pre vs. post; MJS = 20.74±3.2 vs. 29.13±1.45; MJ = 21.45±2.0 vs. 28.09±2.2; all p<0.05), but no significant differences were observed following the intervention. After receiving the intervention, both groups recognized an increase in personal efficacy following intervention (pre vs. post; MJS = 27.21±3.4 vs. 29.04±1.3; MJ = 27.68±2.3 vs. 27.86±2.0; all p<0.05), while the MJS group had a greater expectation (29.04±1.3 vs. 27.86±2). CONCLUSION: In obese older adults, combining MJ with self-efficacy theory is possible and can be utilized to promote exercise self-efficacy and personal efficacy expectations. Future research is needed to assess the effects of MJS on physical function and blood chemistry in obese elderly people.

As the globalisation of sports progresses, it is not limited to professional sport. More and more international student-athletes（ISA）are playing sports in other countries. ISA in Japan are mainly concentrated in high schools and universities. While studying at Japanese schools, they compete for their school teams at various levels of competitions to win honours for their school. This paper uses interviews to explore the challenges encountered by Chinese student-athletes（CSA） who have studied in Japan during their high school years. It clarifies their problems in (1) economy, (2) academic, (3) social, (4) competitive, (5) personal emotional and (6)institutional attachment. We also discussed the direction of support for the challenges they encountered. The results of the survey show that CSA in Japan do not receive much pressure in terms of economic and academic pressure in Japan. However, there are greater troubles in socialising, and in managing personal emotions. In addition, CSA indicated that playing sports in Japanese schools is indeed competitive and challenging. However, there are many deficiencies in the rehabilitation and dietary support provided by the school for their injuries and illnesses.Also, because they do not know much about how to enter universities through sport selection in Japan, they do not enter their desired universities after graduation. Therefore, it is important to provide necessary psychological counselling and more timely guidance and assistance to them, and more information on how to enter universities after graduation.

Backgrounds: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common spinal deformity in the adolescent population, which may lead to a range of physical and psychological problems and seriously affect the functional status and quality of life of AIS patients. AIS patients in the adolescent stage are still under the supervision of their families, and the psychological state of the parents and various family factors may have an impact on the childs body and mind. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the psychological status of family members of AIS patients, family income and other factors with the psychological status and Cobbs angle of AIS patients. METHODS: This case-control study was conducted from September 2023 to December 2023 in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China. A total of 89 patients with AIS, and 30 patients whose follow-up showed non-AIS, were recruited, and AIS was diagnosed as a Cobb angle ≥10° on standing posterior anterior radiographs of the entire spine. The researchers administered separate questionnaires to the subjects as well as to their guardians. Questionnaire A was completed by the patient and included basic information, level of parental involvement, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale for Youth (DASS-Y) scale, and the Cobb angle was recorded. Questionnaire B was completed by the guardian and included general information, family factors such as annual family income, family marital status, parental education, family members and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) scale. Analyses were performed using linear and logistic regression models. RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounders, multifactorial logistic regression modeling indicated that no statistically significant correlation was found between family factors, parents and childrens psychological status, and the severity of AIS patients (P=0.16-0.79). Conclusion: It is not possible to prove that family-related factors, parents and childrens psychological status are associated with AIS in adolescents in Shanxi Province, China. This result is inconsistent with the hypothesis of the present study, which may be attributed to two reasons: (1) sampling error due to an insufficient sample size; and (2) the control group was not spine-healthy but adolescents with cobb angles less than 10°.
