3. Recreational Water Illnesses

Author

Leoni, Erica

Abstract

The safety of recreational waters is affected by numerous variables such as the microbiological and chemical quality of water, the number and health conditions of the users, and the correct functioning of all technological installations used for water treatment. By evaluating the various health risks related to exposure to swimming pools, spas, and surface waters, this Special Issue seeks to address the proper management of waters used for recreational purposes, both in natural and built environments. This Issue contains 12 scientific papers. The first four, three of which are literature reviews, illustrate the epidemiological picture of infections related to recreational waters, by describing cases and outbreaks caused by both traditional and emerging microorganisms. The following four papers concern the microbiological monitoring of swimming pools, gardens, estuarine areas, and therapeutic spas. Two of these also analyse the distribution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the associated transmission risks. The relationship between microbial indicators and pathogens in recreational water is analysed by the following two papers, one of which is an experimental study on the survival of Salmonella and Escherichia coli in estuarine bank sediments and the other of which is an exhaustive literature review. The last two papers are focused on the development of risk control approaches, including the validation of questionnaire methods to quantify recreational water ingestion and the application of traditional and innovative technologies in water treatment.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to assess whether a school-based physical education intervention was effective in improving physical abilities and influencing daily physical activity habits in primary school children. The possible effect on body mass index (BMI) was also considered. Methods: Twenty-six 3rd-grade classes were randomly selected stratifying by geographic location (city, plain, hills) and were assigned either to an intervention (127 boys; 120 girls) or to a traditional (129 boys; 121 girls) physical education program. At baseline (age: 8-9 years) and after a 2-year follow-up (age: 10-11 years), information was collected about sport participation and daily activity habits using a self-administered questionnaire. Height, weight, and BMI were measured and physical performance was assessed by means of standardized tests. Results: The enhanced program of physical education was effective in improving physical abilities of children and determining a decrease (boys: 10%; girls: 12%) in daily sedentary activities (preintervention versus postintervention, p less than 0.05; intervention versus control group, p less than 0.01). The percentages of overweight and obese children did not vary significantly, but the experimental group showed a significantly lower rise in BMI compared to the control group (p less than 0.001). Conclusion: The school proved to be an ideal setting for promoting physical activity and achieving the required daily activity levels. (Contains 4 tables.)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Bone fractures are the main consequences of osteoporosis as representing a serious obstacle to aging in good health and compromising independence, quality of life and lifespan. Patients with a vertebral fracture should be considered for anti-fracture therapy including physical activity [Kendler, 2016]. The aim of this study was to measure the efficacy of our APA protocol in terms of quality of life, fear of falling and physical fitness and, in particular, to evaluate if the adherence had an effect on these outcomes. METHODS The APA group performed 1 hour twice a week for 6 months exercise protocol, specific for osteoporosis, while the Control Group (CG) received the generic indication on the importance of physical activity. The outcomes assessed at the baseline and at the end of the study were: quality of life (ECOS-16), fear of falling (FES-1), functional exercise capacity (6MWT), balance and gait (Tinetti Scale), flexibility of the column (Chair Sit & Reach). Effect sizes (EF) were calculated using Cohen’s d. To assess the potential impact of adherence, we divided the APA group according to the adherence percentage: 75% versus >75%, to evaluate if there is an effect on the main outcomes. RESULTS All patients who completed the study and participated in more than 50% of lessons were included in the analyses (40 women): 22 of the APA group and 18 of the CG. The adherence calculated as number of sessions performed compared to the sessions proposed was 75.8% (from 56.4% to 97.8%). According to Cohens’ d, a "big" effect (>0.8) of the intervention was observed for 6 outcomes (ECOS-16, ES: 1.204; FES-I, ES: 1.007; 6MWT, ES: 1.390; Tinetti Scale, ES: 0.871; Balance, ES: 0.969; Chair Sit & Reach Left, ES: 1.000) and a "medium" effect (>0.5) for 4 outcomes (VAS, ES: 0.510; Borg Scale, ES: 0.654; Gait, ES: 0.639; Chair Sit & Reach Right, ES: 0.739). The number of sessions attended by APA group did not have a significant impact on the results, but slightly influenced the effect size of some items such as: Tinetti Scale (ES: 0.903), Gait (ES: 0.889) and Balance (ES: 0.863). CONCLUSION The big effect sizes suggest that our APA protocol have clinical significance in addition to being statistically significant. There is no significant dependence demonstrated by Cohen's d between improvement in tests and adherence. Therefore, the improvement can be also achieved in those who do not reach the cut-off of 75%, but who nevertheless attended at least 50%.

Abstract

Background: A large proportion of children do not reach the recommended levels of physical activity for health. A quasiexperimental study with nonrandom assignment was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of a school-based physical education intervention aimed at increasing the levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods: Ten classes from 4 primary schools, including 241 children aged 8 to 10 years, were recruited. The experimental group (n = 97) received 4 additional sessions/week of 60 minutes of MVPA for 8 months. The control group (n = 135) continued their standard program (2 sessions of 50 minutes/week). Motor abilities (standing long jump, handgrip strength, Harre circuit, sit and reach), physical fitness (Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level-1), anthropometric measures (body mass index, waist to height ratio), and sell-efficacy (Perceived Physical Ability Scale for Children) were evaluated at baseline and after the intervention. Results: The experimental group significantly improved in the Harre circuit both in males (P < .001) and females (P < .01), whereas physical fitness test improved only in males (P < .001). Males in the experimental group improved the perception of self-efficacy in coordinative abilities (P = .017). Conclusions: The proposed school-based MVPA program showed effectiveness and feasibility. The differences observed by gender highlight the need to use different strategies to increase the involvement of all the participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Physical education (PE) can be considered an instrument for active lifestyle promotion, and PE teachers can motivate youths lo continue their studies in the field of Movement Sciences (MS). Methods: To evaluate the role of PE in higher secondary school in promoting physical activity (PA) and MS careers, previous PE experiences and current PA practice were investigated in a sample of Italian freshmen enrolled in different university degree courses. Results: A total of 7033 questionnaires were completed by students from 14 universities (41.3% males, mean age 20 ± 2.76 years). Recreation seemed to be the principal aim (42.2%) pursued during PE lessons, which are based mainly on practical activities (51.7%). Of all respondents, 67.2% were satisfied with the PE received during higher secondary school, and 51.6% participated in extracurricular PA. Current practice of PA was reported by 58.1% of the sample. Extracurricular activities were associated with choice of MS curricula (odds ratio: 2.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.85-2.50) and with current practice of PA (odds ratio: 1.68,95% confidence interval, 1.51-1.87). Geographical differences concerning lessons organization and satisfaction were registered (P < .01). Conclusions: To enhance its role in health promotion, PE teaching should be improved by increasing the time allocated to PE and by strengthening the provision of school-based extracurricular PA.

Abstract

Le acque termali sono particolari acque minerali naturali caratterizzate da una peculiare composizione salina, utilizzate a fini terapeutici. Negli ultimi anni il termalismo ha cambiato in parte la propria collocazione nel sistema produttivo, poiché gli stabilimenti termali, accanto alle tradizionali applicazioni curative, hanno dato impulso alla creazione di centri benessere, trasformandosi sempre più in strutture turistico-ricreative e in luoghi frequentati da una pluralità di persone con esigenze e stato di salute diversi. Dopo aver esaminato le caratteristiche terapeutiche delle acque termali, gli autori si soffermano sul potenziale rischio di infezione associato alla loro esposizione, legato principalmente a contaminazione da parte di microrganismi di origine acquatica potenzialmente patogeni che possono trovare nei sistemi di distribuzione idrica degli stabilimenti termali le condizioni per moltiplicarsi e colonizzare l’impianto. Sono esaminati i principali agenti infettivi che, secondo le evidenze scientifiche, possono provocare casi sporadici o focolai epidemici associati all’esposizione ad acqua termale, in particolare Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, micobatteri e amebe a vita libera. Sono inoltre prese in considerazione le modalità di controllo della contaminazione microbica, tenendo in considerazione le linee guida e le normative esistenti ed esaminando le modalità di applicazione del sistema di valutazione e gestione del rischio basato sui principi del sistema HACCP (Autocontrollo).

Abstract

The Erice Charter was unanimously approved at the conclusion of the 47th Residential Course "Adapted Physical Activity in Sport, Wellness and Fitness: New Challenges for Prevention and Health Promotion", held on 20-24 April 2015 in Erice, Italy, at the "Ettore Majorana" Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture, and promoted by the International School of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine "G. D'Alessandro" and the Study Group on Movement Sciences for Health of the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health. After an intense discussion the participants identified the main points associated with the relevance of physical activity for Public Health, claiming the pivotal role of the Department of Prevention in coordinating and managing preventive actions. The participants underlined the importance of the physicians specialized in Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health. The contribution of other operators such as physicians specialized in Sport Medicine was stressed. Further, the holders of the new degree in Human Movement and Sport Sciences were considered fundamental contributors for the performance of physical activity and their presence was seen as a promising opportunity for the Departments of Prevention. Primary prevention based on recreational physical activities should become easily accessible for the population, avoiding obstacles such as certification steps or complex bureaucracy. The Sport Doctor is recognized as the principal referent for preliminary physical evaluation and clinical monitoring in secondary and tertiary prevention actions based on adapted physical activities. Developing research in the field is essential as well as implementing higher education on physical activity management in Schools of Public Health.

Abstract

Obiettivi: evidenziare limiti e punti di forza dell’insegnamento di Educazione Fisica (EF) nell’attuale sistema scolastico italiano sulla base delle opinioni degli studenti. Metodi: ad un campione di matricole provenienti da 14 università italiane è stato somministrato un questionario anonimo da autocompilare riguardante esperienze e giudizi relativi all’insegnamento di EF ricevuto nell’ultimo biennio di scuola. Sono state anche analizzate eventuali differenze tra Nord, Centro e Sud. Risultati: su 7.033 partecipanti, il 42,2% riportava come obiettivo principale perseguito durante le lezioni di EF quello “ricreativo”. Più della metà degli studenti (62,2%) ha riferito nessuna o modesta influenza delle lezioni di EF sulla pratica corrente di Attività Fisica (AF). Il 67,2% del campione si ritiene soddisfatto degli insegnamenti di educazione fisica ricevuti, soprattutto nelle regioni del Nord. Discussione e conclusioni: l’analisi condotta ha evidenziato la necessità di migliorare l’offerta di tale insegnamento nella scuola italiana, sia incrementando il tempo dedicato alle lezioni, sia impiegando insegnanti adeguatamente preparati.

certificazioni sportive
Abstract

Si analizzano gli aspetti legislativi relativi alle certificazioni sportive che è questione particolarmente complessa e delicata, alla luce non solo di implicazioni medico-legali, ma soprattutto della nuova prospettiva, che prevede una estensione della pratica motoria alla popolazione, intesa come un vero e proprio intervento di prevenzione. Dopo aver analizzato le tipologie di attività sportiva ascrivibili all'attività agonistica e non agonistica, si analizzano le possibili strategie per favorire l’estensione di un approccio sicuro allo svolgimento di attività motoria.
