Core Subject :
Physical Activity, Nutrition and Health Sciences Journal (E-ISSN 3123-6510) is an international, electronic, open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research in physical activity, nutrition, and diet-related sciences. The journal provides a high-quality platform for the dissemination of original research and systematic literature reviews that examine the role of physical activity and nutritional practices in health promotion, disease prevention, and overall well-being across diverse populations. PANHSJ emphasises the use of rigorous, valid, and evidence-based scientific methodologies, supporting research that contributes to improved health outcomes and informed practice in physical activity and nutrition sciences. The journal particularly encourages submissions from researchers in developing countries, recognising that scientific work from these regions remains underrepresented in the global academic community. PANHSJ welcomes contributions from students, academics, practitioners, and experts engaged in the fields of physical activity, nutrition, and health sciences. Manuscripts may be submitted at any time and must be written in English. The journal is committed to ensuring a fair and timely peer review process, and authors can expect to receive an initial editorial decision within approximately 3 days of submission.

Abstract

Background: Neighbourhood environments play an important role in shaping adolescents’ physical activity (PA), yet environmental influences differ between urban and rural settings. Understanding these contextual differences is essential for developing effective strategies to promote PA among adolescents. Aim: This study aimed to explore environmental determinants influencing adolescents’ participation in physical activity in urban and rural areas. Method: A qualitative study was conducted using a snowball sampling technique. Twenty adolescents aged 13–15 years participated in offline and online semi-structured interviews comprising 17 questions. The photovoice method was used to support data collection. All interviews were analysed thematically using NVivo 12 software. Results: Rural adolescents reported access to natural environments such as hills and small forests; however, limited awareness, poor management, inadequate infrastructure, long distances, road safety issues, and a lack of recreational facilities restricted their use for PA. Urban adolescents had access to safe, clean, and diverse sports facilities but often engaged in sedentary behaviours, particularly excessive use of smartphones and tablets during leisure time. Conclusion:Targeted health promotion and PA education programmes are needed, particularly in urban areas, to reduce sedentary behaviour. In rural settings, improving basic infrastructure and optimising natural resources may provide cost-effective and sustainable approaches to promote adolescent physical activity.

Abstract

Background: Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) is a pathological condition in which the fetus fails to achieve its genetically determined growth potential and remains a major contributor to perinatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal nutritional status is a key modifiable factor influencing placental function and fetal growth. Aim: This study aimed to analyse the association between maternal nutritional status and the occurrence of intrauterine growth restriction. Methods: This study employed a descriptive-analytic literature review approach. Scientific articles published within the last ten years were reviewed. Maternal nutritional indicators analysed included pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), gestational weight gain, haemoglobin levels, and macro- and micronutrient intake. Results: Poor maternal nutritional status, including low BMI, MUAC <23.5 cm, inadequate gestational weight gain, anaemia, and micronutrient deficiencies, was consistently associated with an increased risk of IUGR. These conditions were linked to placental insufficiency, reduced uteroplacental perfusion, and chronic fetal hypoxia. Conclusion: Maternal nutritional status is significantly associated with intrauterine growth restriction. Optimising maternal nutrition before and during pregnancy is essential to prevent IUGR and improve perinatal outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Food security remains a public health concern in Indonesia, particularly in informal food sectors such as food stalls, where inadequate knowledge and practices related to hygiene and sanitation may increase the risk of foodborne diseases. Poor sanitation conditions in food management sites can negatively affect community health and food safety. Aim: This study aimed to describe the hygiene and sanitation conditions of food stalls in the working area of the Bara-Baraya Health Centre in 2025. Method: This study employed a descriptive survey method conducted in October 2025. The research involved five food stalls that voluntarily participated in the study. Data were collected through direct observation using an environmental health inspection form based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 43 of 2014 concerning Sanitation Hygiene of Food Management Sites. Results: The results showed that only one food stall (20%) met the required hygiene and sanitation standards, while four food stalls (80%) did not meet the requirements. The most common deficiencies were related to kitchen cleanliness, separation of raw and cooked food, availability of soap at handwashing facilities, and inappropriate food handler behaviour. Conclusion: The implementation of hygiene and sanitation practices in most food stalls within the Bara-Baraya Health Centre area is still inadequate. Strengthened supervision, continuous coaching, and education for food handlers are needed to improve food safety and protect public health.
