The benefits of ethnic activity group participation on older immigrant well-being and host country adjustment     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2020

Drawing on acculturation and social identity literatures, the present research extends on initial work on social group connectedness among older immigrants to examine in a quasi-experimental study the well-being benefits of participating in heritage culture groups. Older immigrant clients (N = 66) of six aged-care agencies in Australia were given diary booklets in which to complete a set of measures on selected days when they did or did not attend the agencies’ heritage culture group activities, over a 2-month period. Results showed that heritage group participation reduced loneliness and increased well-being. Future research should replicate and extend these findings to assist our understanding of how heritage culture group participation aids first-generation older immigrants with aging successfully in a foreign land.  相似文献

松果腺切除对长期游泳12月龄小鼠肝脏某些抗氧化物质的影响     

熊开宇  赵峰 《北京体育大学学报》2003,26(1):40-42

为了解长期游泳运动老龄小鼠肝脏抗氧化能力的增强与松果腺释放褪黑素的关系,观察了在运动抗衰老机制中褪黑素的作用。结果表明:1)雄性非手术组中GSH-px、SOD活性仅在60min游泳+3%负荷组中明显高于手术同负荷组。雌性小鼠,非手术60min组GSH-px、SOD活性升高,与手术同负荷组相比也有显著差异(P<0.001)。而在60min+3%负荷组,手术组高于非手术组(P<0.05)。2)GSH的表现各组之间差异很大,同负荷组间比较,GSH-px高的组则GSH较低;若GSH-px低则GSH较高。表明长期运动训练使机体抗氧化能力增加,交感神经兴奋性升高刺激松果腺内褪黑素的合成和释放,对GSH-px和SOD的活性有一定作用;如果运动负荷不当,会对松果腺机能产生抑制,对机体抗氧化能力产生负面影响。  相似文献   

太极拳对老年人NK细胞的影响   总被引：14，自引：0，他引：14  

王晓军 《北京体育大学学报》2004,27(5):644-645

人类进入老龄化社会,对衰老机制的研究越来越引起人们的重视.许多研究表明,运动是延缓机体衰老的有效手段之一.通过城镇老年妇女(55～65岁)每天习练太极拳,观察太极拳对老年人NK细胞的影响.结果发现:经过6个月的太极拳练习,老年人血液中NK细胞的含量增加;一次性太极拳练习,可明显提高血液NK细胞的百分含量,表明太极拳运动可能提高机体的免疫机能,增强老年人抗疾病的能力.  相似文献

AI赋能公共图书馆适老化阅读服务研究--以杭州市为例     

李熠煜  朱彤 《新世纪图书馆》2022,(1)

杭州市图书馆运用人工智能等技术,在中心馆-总分馆体系下构建了全市共享的图书馆适老化服务,为老年人在数字环境下提供阅读服务。通过对杭州市公共图书馆的自助转借系统、无障碍服务和设施开发、数字服务平台、“悦借”网络渠道、多元服务方式的分析,肯定了AI赋能下杭州市公共图书馆适老化阅读服务的成效。同时指出,杭图的适老化服务存在对老年人心理层面的关注不够,高层次智慧馆员缺乏等不足。有效提升图书馆适老化服务需要满足老年读者的需求,利用智能设备提高服务效能,加强老年人阅读素养。  相似文献   

Maximal heart rate declines linearly with age independent of cardiorespiratory fitness levels

There have been many conflicting observations between the linear or curvilinear decline in maximal heart rate (HR_max) with age. The aim of this study was to determine if linear or curvilinear equations would better describe the decline in HR_max with age in individuals of differing cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels. Treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) results from participants (1510 men and 1134 women; 18–76 years) free of overt cardiovascular disease were retrospectively examined using cross-sectional and longitudinal study designs. Participants completing ≥2 CPX with ≥1 year between test dates were included in the longitudinal analysis (325 men and 150 women). Linear and quadratic regressions were applied to age and HR_max for the whole cohort and respective CRF groups (high, moderate, and low, relative to age and gender normative values). To test for differences among linear, quadratic, and polynomial equations, the change in R² (cross-sectional analysis) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) (longitudinal analysis) from the linear to the more complex models were calculated. The quadratic or polynomial regression in the cross-sectional analysis, marginally improved the variance in HR_max explained by age compared to the linear regression for the whole cohort (0.2%), moderate fit group (0.3%), and low fit group (0.8%). With no improvements in the high fit group. BIC did not improve for any CRF category in the longitudinal analysis. In conclusion, the minimal differences among linear, quadratic, and polynomial equations in the respective CRF groups, emphasizes the use of linear prediction equations to estimate HR_max.  相似文献   

Perceptual-cognitive expertise of handball coaches in their young and middle adult years     

Lennart Fischer  Joseph Baker  Rebecca Rienhoff  Bernd Strauß  Judith Tirp  Dirk Büsch 《Journal of sports sciences》2016,34(17):1637-1642

There is little research investigating the maintenance of perceptual-cognitive expertise in general and even less comparing coaches of different ages. The aim of this study was to test for perceptual-cognitive differences between age groups, licence levels, and their interaction. This study investigated differences in skilled performance between young and middle-aged coaches of three different skill levels. Participants performed an accuracy-oriented pattern recall (mean distance in pixel) and a time-oriented flicker test (mean detection time in ms). There were some significant differences between age groups and between skill groups for both tests, but no interactions. For the pattern recall test, the effect sizes were larger for skill level differences, while for the flicker test effects were larger for ageing. These results suggest coaches are able to maintain accuracy skills better than reaction timed tasks. This is in line with findings on speeded performance in general populations, which show declines with age. Moreover, results also support findings on perceptual expertise in skills where accuracy was important.  相似文献

积极老龄化视域下的老年教育:理念融合与使命创新          下载免费PDF全文

苑大勇刘茹梦 《宁波大学学报(教育科学版)》2023,(3):17-024

当前,老龄化已然成为全球面临的共同挑战,老年教育在应对老龄化社会进程中,应发挥其特有的角色与使命。积极老龄化的理念由世界卫生组织提出,经联合国以及欧盟的不断推进,当前已经形成具有一定实践意义的政策框架与指标体系,得到了国际社会的广泛认同。作为终身学习体系组成部分的老年教育,能够为实现积极老龄化所倡导的“独立健康生活”“就业”以及“社会参与”等政策支柱发挥重要的促进作用。与发达国家相比,我国对老年教育的认知与实践仍有很大的提升空间。在未来,我国应当树立“健康即是回报”的老年教育观念,增加对老年教育的社会支持,通过教育增强老年群体的健康知识学习与社会参与,进而促进积极老龄化的实现。  相似文献
