    Physical activity of physiotherapy students and the role of device-based monitoring in their future clinical practice: a cohort study

    Background. Although physiotherapy students are expected to promote and prescribe exercise, their own physical activity (PA) levels have not been fully researched using wearable devices to provide objective measurements of PA. This study aimed (1) to determine their PA level; and (2) to verify the use of wearables for physiotherapy students’ own practical benefits. Material and methods. Students (n=257) wore a pedometer (Yamax Digi-Walker SW-700) and wrist-based activity tracker (Garmin Vívofit 1) for seven consecutive days. Prior to monitoring, they completed the long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-LF). A further evaluation was completed, relating to benefits and shortcomings of PA monitoring in their own practice. Results. A significant difference emerged between PA levels recorded with activity trackers on weekdays and weekend days, but only when gender and years of study were not taken into consideration. Specifically, 61.09% of participants were active or highly active on weekdays and none were sedentary. On the weekend, however, 47.47% were active or highly active and 11.67% were sedentary. Most (~79%) subjects reported clear benefits in PA monitoring. Conclusions.The student cohort were clearly active during the week, but almost half were insufficiently active in the weekend and thus, greater focus on the promotion of PA in physiotherapists-in-training might be necessary. The self-monitoring of PA under ambulatory conditions (using two wearable devices), combined with self-evaluation of PA, were study strengths.

    Physioprophylaxis in physiotherapy and health promotion
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-05-27) Kubińska, Zofia ; Zaworski, Kamil ; Shpakou, Andrei
    According to the authors, physioprophylaxis is a preventive measure against developmental and lifestyle diseases, the aging process and disabilities through: ergonomic performance of daily and professional activities; systematic physical exercise; behaviors that strengthen pro-health factors; and which is oriented towards risk prevention. In the health care system, it is a new and effective prophylactic alternative for the prevention of ever-increasing health risks. As a health need and medical service, physioprophylaxis has officially become present in the law, standards of education and in the professional practice of most physiotherapists. On the other hand, the promotion of the health and well-being of people and the general public that emphasizes the importance of physical activity and exercise is one of a physiotherapist’s professional objectives. The aim of this work is to present an exemplary description of physioprophylaxis integrated with health promotion. The authors resolved to show the types, means and methods of its impact on health education, risk prevention and health policy.
