Results from Nepal’s 2018 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth
ConclusionsThough a majority of Nepalese children and youth use active modes of transport and have adequate support for physical activity from family and peers, overall participation in physical activity appears to be low. Lack of data identified with five incomplete indicators reflects the need for further research. Studies with larger sample, more rigorous study design and objective assessment of physical activity is recommended for future physical activity surveillance in Nepal.

Plantar load characteristics among runners with different strike patterns during preferred speed
ConclusionHabitual runners tend to adjust their contact area according to the running speed through midfoot and forefoot regions. RFS runners remain susceptible to high impact force on the heel and midfoot, and NRFS runners experience high impact force in the first metatarsal regions. Therefore, runners should note this situation to avoid running-related injuries. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

Evaluation of the process and outcomes of the Global Matrix 3.0 of physical activity grades for children and youth
ConclusionThis evaluation process allowed for the identification of needed improvements and the formulation of recommendations for future Global Matrix initiatives. This work highlighted the need for the development of physical activity behavior assessment tools that would be internationally adopted and culturally adaptable to varying contexts to improve the standardization of physical activity surveillance at the global scale.

Assessing Factor Structure of the Simplified Chinese Version of Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument for Undergraduates in Mainland China
ConclusionThe PPLI (simplified Chinese version) is a reliable and valid instrument to examine the perceived PL for Chinese undergraduates. Unlike the original Cantonese version of PPLI, PPLI (simplified Chinese version) exactly explore the kernel attributes, namely, motivation, confidence and physical competence, and interaction with the environment, of the concept of PL. Build from this instrument, more studies could explore the potential factors that influence the physical activity level, as well as structure appropriate intervention programs to utilize PL as a standard to evaluate the quality of PE courses or foster lif...
