Health-related fitness, body composition and physical activity status among adolescent learners: the PAHL study
(Sabinet, 2012)Physical inactivity (PI) is found to be a major contributor to the high incidence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents. As such, PI was significantly related to risk factors of cardiovascular disease. ... -
Health-related physical fitness and risk factors associated with obesity among primary school children in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa
(2014)It is well documented that behavioural and biological risk factors for Chronic Diseases of Lifestyle (CDL) such as overweight and high blood pressure persist from childhood into adulthood. CDL is considered to be a group ... -
Health-related physical fitness, anthropometry and physical activity levels of Zimbabwean children aged 10-12 years old: the Zimbabwe Baseline Survey
(North-West University, 2018)The future of children is being threatened to a steadily increasing extent, not least by the implications of the global obesity epidemic and ever-decreasing general levels of physical activity. Although empirical evidence ... -
Health-related physical fitness, physical activity and body composition status of adolescent learners residing within the Tlokwe Municipality : PAHL study
(2013)Obesity and physical inactivity (PI) are major health problems world-wide, and leading contributors to the high incidence of overweight, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in children both globally and in South Africa ... -
Healthcare Access and Quality Index based on mortality from causes amenable to personal health care in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2015: a novel analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015
(Elsevier, 2017)Background National levels of personal health-care access and quality can be approximated by measuring mortality rates from causes that should not be fatal in the presence of effective medical care (ie, amenable ... -

Hear their voices: self-configuration experiences of learners with mild learning difficulties within the learner-teacher relationship
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Within the learner–teacher relationship, learners receive messages of who they are in the eyes of the teacher and in this way their self-configuration is shaped by the interactions with their teacher. To understand their ... -
Heart rate and graded maximal test values to determine rugby union game intensities of adolescent boys
(North-West University, 2012)Despite the need to investigate the match characteristics of junior rugby union players in order to determine the physical demands that are placed on these players, only three studies have thus far focussed on the match ... -
Heart rate and indirect blood pressure responses to four different field anesthetic protocols in wild-born captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
(American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2017)Limited data are available on hemodynamic responses to anesthetic protocols in wild-born chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Accordingly, this study characterized the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure responses to four anesthetic ... -
Heart rate and systolic blood pressure response to workload during an incremental sub–maximal exercise test in healthy individuals
(North-West University, 2012)Healthcare practitioners, whom perform accurate sub-maximal exercise tests in healthy individuals, need to understand the physiological demands and normal cardiovascular (CV) responses with exercise. Exercise testing ... -
Heart rate variability and heart rate recovery in relation to match results in elite African male badminton players
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Since the emergence of heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate recovery (HRR) as indicators of autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity in sport and exercise, these markers have been received with a great deal of interest ... -
Heart rate variability and recovery as predictors of elite, African, male badminton players’ performance levels
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)The aim of this study was to determine whether pre-match, in-match, resting and post-match heart rate variability (HRV) as well as resting and post-match heart rate recovery (HRR) can serve as significant predictors of ... -
