AimThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-perceived health and level of Physical activity among the staff at The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences (GIH). We focused on the following questions:How does the amount of Physical activity affect the self-perceived health among the staff at GIH?  Are there any gender differences in self-perceived health following the amount of Physical activity? Do the self-perceived health and the amount of Physical activity differ between the various age groups? Are there any differences between the staff responsible for health education compared with the other staff?MethodWe chose a validated questionnaire for our study. It was a combination of two already previously validated questionnaires together with our own supplementary background questions. The questionnaire was presented to 96 respondents and we received 76 answers.

The relation between LIS and Physical bibliography is examined primarily through an analysis of such LIS literature as applies Physical bibliography in research or otherwise discusses its relevance to information studies. Quite a number of scholars are stressing the usefulness of this bibliographical tradition, even though its position in LIS agenda as a whole seems to be less established. These scholars suggest that Physical bibliography presents interesting conceptual and theoretical implications for many of the central objects of study in LIS, for example, knowledge organization, information retrieval, and information seeking. It is also suggested that Physical bibliography could help deepen our knowledge and understanding of the digital media ecology. Physical bibliography is foremost seen as a method for the analysis of documents, a method in which not least its terminological apparatus may be a significant tool.

AimsThe aim of this study was to conclude whether women living and staff working in a women´s shelter feel experience a need of Physical activity in the shelter and also what thoughts women living and staff working in the shelter have regarding possible access to Physical activity. Following questions were adressed: Does women living and staff working in the shelter experience that there is a need of Physical activity in the shelter? What does women living, and staff working, in the shelter think about the Physical activity conducted in the shelter? Why does the women living in the shelter choose to participate in the Physical activity? Are there any connections between symptoms which battered women can suffer from and symptoms which scientific studies say can be reduced by Physical activity?MethodsThe study is based on five interviews in order to understand and illustrate how women living in a shelter relate to Physical activity. The answers from the interviews has been correlated to scientific results and other literature in the area. Literature studies have also derived background information as well as a deeper knowledge regarding in what way violence against women affect the abused woman.ResultsThe results show a need for Physical activity at the women?s shelter where this study was conducted.

We wanted to study if and how students become motivated and stimulated towards a permanent interest for regular Physical activity, from a pedagogical perspective. Our goal was to examine how Physical education teachers create motivation for the students and how you, as a Physical education teacher, can motivate those students who are Physically inactive due to obesity or other various kinds of problems. In the theoretical background, we have made a summary of sports and development of the Physical education subject over the years. We also describe society´s perspective on public health. The motivation concept is definded and we explain different motivational theories.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the correlation between Physical activity level (PAL), measured with activity diary and accelerometer, among overweight and obese children and adolescents. The aim was also to study differences in PAL between girls and boys.Design:55 children and adolescents, whom been subjected to a Physical activity registration with a Physical activity diary and accelerometer during three or four days, were included in this study. From the data received from the children?s journal records PAL was calculated and compiled for statistic analysis.Results:The results of the study showed that the children underestimated their Physical activity level when measured with activity diary, in comparison with the Physical activity level measured with accelerometer. Differences between girl and boys PAL values were not statistically significant, although the girls PAL values from the accelerometer, but not from the activity diary, reached a moderate activity level according to Nordic nutrition recommendation.

Public health is important to many areas of society. It is important to have different goals to focus the work with health promotion in different sectors, one such area is the school. In the society of today there are a lot of public health issues like stress, overweight and Physical inactivity. To experience well-being Physical activity, sense of coherence (SOC) and the individual experience of stress have important functions. School is an important part of the student?s learning, development and socialisation.

Purpose:  The purpose of this paper is that from the Physical travel agencies perspective try to see how they perceive their future, knowing that the booking on Internet has increased.Problem: What are the prospects for future development of the Physical travel agency? Has the technological development affected the Physical travel agency and forced it to change its role and meaning?Method: This paper has a qualitative approach. Interviews have been made with employees on Physical travel agencies to try to reach a deeper understanding and thereafter be able to give us an understanding of our problem.Conclusion: The Physical travel agency has been given a new role as the employees are no longer seen as sellers but more regarded to as consultants. The travel agency has become more of an information bank than just a shop where travels are being sold. Despite this change, we believe that customers will continue to visit the Physical travel agents because of the unique knowledge and services they can provide that Internet not yet can offer.

A large problem in our society is the diseases that inactivity brings to the population. The lifestyle you have in adolescence is often the same that you have in adulthood. Because of this, prevention should start in youth. The aim of this study was to investigate the experience that youths have of Physical education and it?s influence in their spare-time activities.

Background: Many cancer patients who get bone metastases live longer thanks to the successful research and development of medicines during recent years. Many studies show general health benefits from Physical activity. For patients with bone metastases the possibility of Physical activity perhaps should limit? Nurses at oncological units are often in lifelong contact with this group of patients. It´s therefore important to have knowledge about the bone metastases and how it influence the patient´s possibility of performing Physical activity in order to support and encourage the patient to safely Physical activity.Aim: To describe the patient´s possibility of Physical activity with metastases to the bone.Method: A literature study.Results: The extension of the bone metastases shall be verified through X-ray.

The purpose of this essay was to study what students at the upper secondary levels thought that they learned in Physical education and if there were differences between girls and boys learning. The purpose was also to study different factors that could affect the learning and to show how curriculum and prior research relate to the students learning. In this essay we used the three aspects of health that are mentioned in the description of Physical education: the Physical, the social and the psychic. The study was based on a quantitative research where 165 students answered questionnaires about their learning. Our research showed that the students did not get the knowledge that the A-course in Physical education should provide and that the goals for the course were not accomplished.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of the study was to examine, from the point of view of former research findings, what impact Physical activity had on learning. I chose to make an explorative/inductive research, to get as much knowledge as possible from the studied presentation of problem, not to limit myself to a specific research theory. The result proved, that school personal and student experienced many positive effects from daily Physical activities. The pupils were more pleased. There was more piece and quiet in the classroom.

The purpose of this study is to examine how two different primary schools with the same school management district work with daily Physical activity. We have chosen to conduct our investigation based on interviews. Through the interviews, we can highlight the teacher´s and principal´s interpretations of the concept regarding Physical activity and find out the school´s arguments and working methods for pupil´s Physical activity. These two schools work with Physical activity in two different ways and the study describes the teacher´s and principal's choice of approach. Since our training is directed towards the younger ages, school years 1-3, we chose to interview teachers who work in these classes.
