    Effects of Screen Time on the Physiological Variables of Nigeria Adolescent
    (International Council for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, Sport, and Dance (ICHPER•SD), 2017) Otinwa, G.O.; Ademola, V.D.
    The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of screen time on the physiological variables of Nigeria Adolescents. A quasi-experimental research design was adopted in carrying out the study. The physical characteristics of blood pressure, body composition, muscular strength and endurance of children were measured after parental consent has been obtained. The sample for this study comprised a total of sixty (60) participants selected through a convenient random sampling technique. Twenty (20) students were selected from three schools. The procedure and methods used for the study was approved by the Departmental Postgraduate Committee before carrying out the experiment. International Council for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, Sport and Dance (ICHPER.SD) Standardized test and instruments were used in data collection during the study. The instruments were calibrated. Data from the experiment conducted was analyzed using the descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation with graphical illustration while the hypotheses were tested using the inferential statistics of independent sample t-test at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between high and low screen time on the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), muscular strength and muscular endurance of participants. The study recommends the promotion of healthy 7and active lifestyles through the support of parents and teachers

    EFFECTS OF SIX-WEEK AEROBIC DANCE ON THE RESTING HEART RATE, BMI AND BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL OF OVERWEIGHT FEMALE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF IN UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS
    (JORCIHKHE, 2018-10-31) Awopetu, A.R.; Esan, J.A.; Adebero, A.S.; Ademola, V.D.
    The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of six-week aerobic dance on the resting heart rate, Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood glucose level of overweight female administrative staff in University of Lagos. The experimental method was used for this study which utilized the pre-test post-test research design. A total of thirty-five (35) participants formed the sample for the study. They were selected using purposive sampling technique. The samples were selected from the University of Lagos community. Overweight middle-aged women were identified using their Body Mass Index. Thirty-five (35) overweight middle-aged women were selected randomly from the identified population into an experimental group and a control group. 16 participants formed the experimental group, while 19 formed the control group. A pre-test was conducted for the two groups on their BMI, resting heart rate and blood glucose level. The experimental group went through aerobic dance programme for a period of six weeks, while the control group were asked to continue with their daily routine. A post-test was conducted for the two groups after six weeks to determine the effects of six-week aerobic dance on BMI, resting heart rate and blood glucose level of overweight middle-aged women. Data from the experiment conducted was analyzed using the descriptive statistics of percentages, mean and standard deviation. While the hypotheses were tested using the inferential statistics of t-test at 0.05 alpha level. Three hypotheses tested were significant, which implies that six weeks of aerobic dance had a significant effect on the BMI, Heart Rate and blood glucose level of overweight middle-aged women. It is recommended that individuals should take part in aerobic dance 4 to 5 days in a week in other to eliminate cardiovascular risk factors.
