Abstract

Hypertension is mostly associated with adulthood and old age with little attention on children. This study provided evidence of hypertension in healthy children and its association with body composition and aerobic capacity (VO2max). 266 healthy children aged 8-11 years were recruited for the study. Blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index (BMI), basal metabolic rate (BMR), fat free mass, bone mass, visceral fat, total body water (TBW), and VO2max were measured. 18.79% were pre-hypertensive and 9.40% overweight at least, while 65.42% underweight. Correlation between blood pressure and maxVO2 was significant (P < 0.05). VO2max significantly correlate with body mass index (r = -.415, P < 0.05), fat mass (r = -.385, P < 0.05) negatively and visceral fat (r = -.267, P < 0.05) and positive with fat free mass (r =.385, P < 0.05) and bone mass (r =.077, P < 0.05). Gender differences were significant in BMR, TBW, VO2max and heart rate (P < 0.05). Evidence of hypertension in relatively healthy children is a clarion call to avert unprecedented decline in future life expectancy rate. Physical activity interventions are suggested antidotes to avert the risk factors of hypertension and excess body fat in children

Abstract

This study examined the association of technical and personal problems with sports performance among university coaches in Ghana. Employing a cross-sectional survey design, data from 130 coaches across 26 public universities were collected using a structured and validated questionnaire. Findings reveal a significant positive correlation between technical problems and sports performance indices (r =0.208, p = 0.009), while a significant positive correlation exists between personal problems and sports performance (r = 0.274, p = 0.002). The predictor's unstandardized coefficient (B) is 0.259, indicating that for every unit increase in technical problems, the Sport Performance Indices increase by 0.259 units. The standardised coefficient (β) is 0.208, which indicates the relative importance of the predictor. This value suggests that the predictor is the dependent variable. The t-value of 2.404 indicates that the predictor is statistically significant, with a significance level of 0.018. This means that the probability of observing this relationship by chance is less than 0.018 (or 1.8%). The 95% confidence interval for the B value ranges from 0.046 to 0.472, which does not include zero. The study underscores the need to address technical and personal factors to enhance sports performance among Ghanaian university coaches. Recommendations include investing in infrastructure, providing emotional support, and implementing strategies to improve work-life balance for university sports coaches.
