function and walking by applying a socioecological framework to the
International Mobility in Aging Study

  Pages: 1 - 21
  Abstract: Introduction:
  The relationships between falls, fear of falling, poor mobility, and PA avoidance occur in a cyclic, multi-directional fashion. Aim: This study investigates the concomitant associations of fall history, fear of falling, and physical performance (SPPB) on physical activity using a cross-national sample of community-dwelling older adults from middle and high-income countries.
  Methods:
  Linear mixed-effects models looking at the influence of individual and environmental factors were used and participants were nested within each study site.
  Results:
  Estimated walking minutes was 52% lower for those with low SPPB compared to high SPPB, 20% lower for those with medium level fear of falling compared to low levels, and 50% lower for those with high level fear of falling compared to low levels.
  Conclusion:
  An individual’s fear of falling and physical performance may be important to consider when making PA recommendations to older adults regardless of sex, age, and environment.

survey 2019

  Pages: 22 - 33
  Abstract: Aim: Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death worldwide. The vast majority of these deaths occur in low – and middle-income countries, and the gap is expected to widen further in the coming decades. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of smoking among Kosovo adults by gender, age group and type of smoking.
  Methods: A population-based survey was conducted among people aged 18-69 years from April 2018 to June 2019 using the WHO STEPs instrument. 2800 randomly selected households were approached using multistage cluster sampling, and 2695 agreed to participate in the survey (response rate 96.2%).
  Results: According to the findings of our study, 25.7% of the population aged 18-69 years was a current smoker (men 35.3% vs. women 15.9%) and 90.1% of them smoked tobacco products on a daily basis (Men 91.5% current smokers on daily basis vs. Women 87.1% on daily basis). Smokers started smoking at an average age of 19.3 years. Women started smoking significantly later than men, at the age of 20.9 years, compared to 18.6 years for men, and the younger age group started smoking earlier. The average smoking duration is 19.3 years, with no gender differences (Men 19.5 years vs. Women 19.0 years average smoking duration). On average, 97.4% of daily smokers smoke manufactured cigarettes.
  Conclusion: Smoking prevalence was high among Kosovo adults, especially men and the majority of them smoke on daily basis.

Methods Of Physical Exercise As A Way To Optimize The Physical Condition
Of Football Players: A Systematic Review
- Authors: Pomo warih Adi, Singgih Hendarto, Sapta Kunta Purnama, Rumi Iqbal Doewes, Sugiyanto, Muchsin Doewes
  Pages: 34 - 56
  Abstract: Objective: Investigating the training methods used to optimize the physical condition of football players and describing the results of each study.
  Methods: This is a systematic review of published research. Articles published between 2015 and 2021 describing training methods to improve the physical condition of football players were reviewed. Electronic searches were conducted via Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. All articles presenting methods of physical exercise to improve physical condition performance were included.
  Results: There were 41 articles that used training methods to improve the physical condition of football players. From these articles, they are grouped according to the physical condition that is assessed and which is improved. Some of the training methods that can be used include neuromuscular, unilateral and bilateral, ballistic, plyometric, combined weight & plyometric, mixed training with optimum load, complex COD & plyometric, strength, combined strength, eccentric, repeated-sprint, resisted/unresisted sprint, resistance, elastic band, core, combine core & small-sided games, aerobic interval training, blood flow restriction aerobic interval training, intermittent, anaerobic speed endurance, high-intensity interval training, high-intensity interval training & small-sided games, tabata sprint, very-heavy sled, pilates, and functional.
  Conclusion: After a systematic review, several training programs were found to improve the physical condition of football players such as strength, aerobic and anaerobic endurance, muscle power, speed and acceleration, flexibility, agility, and balance.
