From Sedentary and Physical Inactive Behaviours to an Ultra Cycling Race: A Mixed-Method Case Report In the faculties for health sciences, almost 30% of nursing students exercise less than once a week. This case report shows the 38-month development of the physiological and psychological health care parameters of a sitting and physically inactive nursing student. During this time, it initially took part in a one-month institutional physical activity program offered by its university before being selected with a Stauffeltam of the University of Participation in the Race Across America (RAAM).In the four months before the Raam, she completed a cycling training.After the Raam she was followed up for the next 28 months. The results showed that every phase of the study had an important influence on the subject and that sitting and physically inactive behaviors are reversible. Institutional programs, including training training In addition to simultaneous strength and endurance training, can lead to physiological and psychological improvements in health.For some people, participation in a sporting challenge can improve motivation and long-term compliance with physical activity. For future interventions to promote the participation in physical activity, an individual approach should be considered.
In the specific context of a university for health sciences, this type of initiative could positively influence the health of the population by enabling students to promote physical activity promoting physical activity. The work can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31941104/
