Every society is based on the principles of the democratic system. Its constitution recognizes rights that enhance good citizenship and create a good citizen, as is the case in the Iraqi constitutions issued in 2005 and the Algerian of 2020, where each of them specified a set of rights that would ensure the achievement of good citizenship. These rights have diversified and touched various fields alike. They are constitutionally guaranteed within a legal framework that recognizes the right to enjoy them within what the law allows, and is guaranteed to every citizen, as the rights of citizenship have been defined in line with the nature of both societies. These rights are considered the positive side in order to strengthen the link of belonging to the homeland, and to define the framework of the official and legitimate relationship between the individual and the state.
Mechanisms for activating cooperative democracy to build good citizenship in Iraq
Authors:   University of Baghdad- College of Political Science, Abbas Obaid Assist Inst.Ali
Published: September 2022

The participation of society is the cornerstone of the idea of modern citizenship. Thus، cooperative democracy in which citizens participate directly in the conduct of their public affairs allows direct participation in the formulation of public policies, thus transforming the citizen from a passive one with the right to vote to a positive one who participates in decision-making. A successful democracy is based on continuous and reciprocal dialogue between the various groups and interests in society about major decisions and executive steps. This would contribute to finding good and effective governments that contribute to enhancing social welfare by creating good relations between citizens and building a conscious society characterized by the spirit of the group، and involving them in the process of decision-making and respecting diversity the society.

Innovative PPP models in urban mobility sector: A case study of three Indian cities: Amritsar, Kochi and Surat
Authors: Jindel Jaishree , Jose Dennis
Published: September 2022

Developing an economy requires evolving infrastructure needs and investments. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been critical and have eased the government stress of investments in infrastructure by bringing in economic development with improved eﬃciencies and cost optimisations. The private sector participation in India's transport sector has been majorly focusing on capital intensive transport infrastructure developments like highways, airports or ports. It is still at an early learning curve of PPP in terms of less capital heavy projects or service delivery-oriented contracts. The lessons and learnings of decades of doing road PPPs is now being expanded to other sectors like water, solid waste, as well as urban transit. The paper discusses the innovative PPP models in the mobility sector for the case cities of Amritsar, Kochi, and Surat in India. The E-Auto shift from diesel autos in Amritsar, private bus aggregation of individual operators to company in Kochi, and the women owned operator CNG auto in Surat; and the innovations undertaken by government entities by assuming the role of a facilitator, regulatory and contract manager to support private sector in ﬁlling the service gaps is documented in the paper. The paper also documents the need for a more demand responsive operation planning, better risk allocation, and balanced contract conditions to make the sector lucrative for the private sector players.
Hello My Name is Amanda

Published: September 2022

Consultant midwife roles perform a strategic function in the clinical direction of maternity services. Urgent and emergency care providers, including NHS 111 and 999 services, routinely manage a range of calls where a woman may be pregnant, or recently given birth; however, the influence and contribution of this role in this setting has not been described in the literature. The inception of the consultant midwife within the ambulance service is a key milestone in promoting greater integration and seamless care for those women who utilise the service, ensuring the response times for those women that may require transfer when becoming unwell; or in labour, are safe, and staff providing care and advice have access to midwifery expertise.
Common Language - One Law: Prospective Legal Unification Processes Based on a Practical Use of the e-Justice Portal
Authors: Rękawek-Pachwicewicz Marta
Published: September 2022

In search of interesting legal solutions connected with modern and effective functioning of the judiciary, the author draws attention to the use of the most technologically advanced solutions in the sphere of justice in countries of the European Union. The aim is, among others, to improve the functioning of the justice system. The paper briefly describes big data tools and projects based on them, such as e-CODEX or e-Justice Portal. In the further part of the article, reference is made to the trend of creating tools of linguistic and semantic nature, used not only by lawyers, but also by citizens as well. An example thereof is the IMOLA project implemented by the European Land Registry Association in Brussels covering national land registers, with the ambitious intention of launching an operational system that will eventually integrate national databases. The study concludes with Ludwik Zamenhof’s dream: ‘Let Us Work and Have Hope!’ (Ni laboru kaj esperu!), referring to the role of the universal language he has created as a bridge to world peace and well-being of all people. The idea is that a common language brings people together. This role could be taken over by English and the technological advances of the digital world, which bring European countries closer to his yearning for peace, albeit in a slightly different way than he imagined. Improving the quality of communication is the key to success, which builds trust in the state.
Excessive Length of Pretrial Detention in the Light of Jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights
Authors: Szafrańska Urszula
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the problem of applying pre-trial detention by Polish courts since Poland has become a member state of the Council of Europe. The author aims to present the standards of the European Court of Human Right’s jurisprudence in this respect, and at the same time to highlight the most frequent mistakes in the jurisprudence of national courts, which result in finding of a violation of Article 5(3) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The author’s intention is to show, using a historical method, that the institution of pre-trial detention was abused by Polish courts in previous years, however, it has improved now due to, among other things, the influence of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights on the process of establishing and applying the law in Poland in the field of pre-trial detention over the past 29 years.

EFFECT OF ULTRASOUND ON EXTRACTION OF HEAVY METALS FROM SEWAGE SLUDGE IN THE CONTEXT OF A POTENTIAL ECOLOGICAL
RISK ASSESSMENT
Authors: TYTŁA MALWINA , Widziewicz-Rzońca Kamila , Miszczak Ewa , Kernert Joanna , Słaby Krzysztof , Klyta Justyna
Published: September 2022

The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of ultrasound waves on the recovery of
heavy metals (HMs) from sewage sludge. For this purpose, we conducted a three-step sequential
extraction process proposed by the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR; presently the Standards,
Measurements and Testing Programme). In the experiment use was made of certified reference
material ERM-CC144 SEWAGE SLUDGE (Joint Research Centre; JRC). The content of heavy
metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in certified material was determined by atomic absorption
spectrometry using the Avio 200 ICP-OES apparatus (PerkinElmer Inc.). To reduce the sequential
extraction time, ultrasound treatment was used instead of long hours of shaking. Sonication was
conducted in an ultrasonic bath (Sonic-5; Polsonic). The sonication time was set at 20, 40 and 70 minutes. The frequency, power and temperature during the ultrasound treatment were kept
constant. The recovery values of heavy metals obtained by the modified sequential extraction
method were at similar levels to those achieved by the conventional one. Moreover, it has also been
shown that after only 20 minutes of sonication, the recovery values can be obtained similarly as for
the conventional method. In order to check whether the ultrasound waves have a significant impact
on the distribution of heavy metals in the chemical fractions of sewage sludge, the percentage
share for each element was calculated and the potential ecological risk analysis was conducted.
This was possible thanks to the fact that the material used for production of ERM-CC144 (JRC)
is sewage sludge of domestic origin. The obtained results revealed that ultrasound treatment does
not significantly influence the distribution of analysed heavy metals in the chemical fractions of
sewage sludge, with one exception, i.e., Zn. The assessment of the ecological risk was performed
using Risk Assessment Code (RAC) index, which includes the content of metals in the most mobile
fraction, i.e., bound to carbonates. The calculated values of RAC indicated that Zn posed the highest
ecological risk. However, it can be also confirmed that the application of ultrasound treatment in the
sequential extraction procedure does not have a significant impact on the interpretation of results
of the ecological risk assessment. What is more, it confirms the legitimacy of using the discussed
modification in the sequential extraction of heavy metals from sewage sludge.

Published: September 2022

This article presents an analysis of similarities and differences in the approach to storing ammonium
nitrate in conformity with NFPA standards, which apply not only within the United States, but also
in plants or storage areas owned by US corporations where the provisions of these regulations are
more restrictive than those of the local law. The procedures developed by NFPA are considered to
be among the best in the world in terms of the complexity of the problem analysed and the range
of studies on which they had been based, as well as on post-accident analyses related to fire safety,
explosion risks and, above all, the problem of protecting people from the consequences of fires or
other localised hazards.
PERSPEKTYWA ZASTOSOWANIA BEZZAŁOGOWYCH STATKÓW POWIETRZNYCH W TRANSPORCIE MEDYCZNYM
Authors: Bąk Judyta , Konieczka Robert
Published: September 2022

Obecnie wykorzystanie bezzałogowych statków powietrznych do celów innych niż militarne zyskuje
na znaczeniu. Rozwój technologii lotniczych pozwala na odnalezienie nowych zastosowań
dla tego typu statków powietrznych. Drony wykorzystywane są do celów transportowych, ratowniczych,
przemysłowych, komercyjnych, rekreacyjnych, hobbystycznych itp. Nikt jednak nie stosuje
ich do szeroko rozumianego transportu medycznego.
Artykuł stanowi próbę przedstawienia propozycji zastosowania bezzałogowych statków powietrznych
do celów związanych z medycyną. Cele te należy rozumieć jako transport komponentów
medycznych, w tym: krwi do transfuzji, narządów do przeszczepów, leków czy szczepionek.
W opracowaniu wskazano na czynniki mające wpływ na powodzenie realizacji takiej misji oraz
przedstawiono wstępne założenia konstrukcji drona o przeznaczeniu medycznym. Ponadto zdefiniowano
korzyści, jakie mogą płynąć z wdrożenia tejże koncepcji.
Aktualnie transport jakichkolwiek produktów czy komponentów może odbywać się w sposób
szybki i bezpieczny. Dlatego wiele firm stawia na rozwój technologii związanych z dronami.
Opracowywane są technologie pozwalające na transport przesyłek czy paczek kurierskich z wykorzystaniem
właśnie tego typu środków transportu. Również w medycynie bezzałogowe statki
powietrzne zyskują na znaczeniu. Niezbędne są szybkie reakcje na pojawiające się problemy. Dla
niektórych pacjentów każda sekunda może być na wagę życia, a drony pod względem szybkości
stanowią konkurencję dla konwencjonalnych środków transportu.
Celem pracy było określenie możliwości i zasadności wykorzystania bezzałogowych statków powietrznych
do celów medycznych. Wykorzystano przy tym analizę SWOT i FMEA, określając
mocne i słabe strony oraz szanse i zagrożenia związane z tą koncepcją. Ponadto przeprowadzono
badanie ankietowe mające na celu poznanie opinii osób związanych ze środowiskiem medycznym
i technicznym. Jak wskazano w opracowaniu potencjalnie, pod pewnymi warunkami, możliwe jest wykorzystanie
bezzałogowych statków powietrznych do celów przewozu narządów, krwi oraz leków, jednak
transport ten obarczony jest pewnym ryzykiem związanym zarówno z warunkami technicznymi,
jak i błędami ludzkimi. Opracowanie definiuje te problemy, wskazując na możliwości przeciwdziałania
im.
NORMATYWNA ANALIZA ZAGROŻEŃ JAKO DETERMINANTÓW BEZPIECZEŃSTWA PAŃSTWA I PORZĄDKU PUBLICZNEGO I ICH WPŁYWU
NA SYSTEM RATOWNICZY
Authors: Sikorska Agnieszka
Published: September 2022

Zagrożenie, które jest kompatybilne z niebezpieczeństwem, niezależnie czy w postaci zmaterializowanej
jako zdarzenie, czy też to, które może nastąpić, jest desygnatem pojęcia systemu ratownictwa.
Skoro bowiem zagrożenia są czynnikiem, który może powodować bądź powoduje wystąpienie
niebezpiecznych zdarzeń, które mogą godzić lub godzą w poszczególne wartości i dobra,
to konsekwencją zawsze będzie dążenie do zachowania tychże wartości i dóbr oraz ich ratowanie.
W dążeniu tym istotne jest z kolei prognozowanie, identyfikacja, monitorowanie zagrożeń
w zależności od ich źródła, zasięgu czy skali, jak również działania stricte ratownicze rozumiane
jako każda czynność, której celem jest ochrona wartości i dóbr oraz likwidacja i usuwanie skutków
zdarzeń. W obszarze systemu ratowniczego wymaga to niewątpliwie systemowych rozwiązań
prawnych. Ponieważ zagrożenia determinują bezpieczeństwo i porządek publiczny, a poprzez to
nieustanny rozwój systemu, który ma zapewnić i chronić te wartości przed zagrożeniami, w pierwszej
kolejności dokonano normatywnej ich identyfikacji, by w efekcie odnieść się do owych działań
zapewnienia i ochrony podejmowanych przez kompetentne organy w każdym czasie.

Today, universities have a significant role in developing human resources, knowledge and technology and driving a dynamic society. The lecturers are essential in teaching, training and educating tasks for students. Thus, this study examines the effect of spiritual motivation and spiritual and intellectual intelligence on religious performance mediated by job satisfaction at STAI Batam, Riau, Indonesia. The design of this study is a quantitative approach through a survey questionnaire. A total of 160 lecturers from the Islamic High School in the Riau Archipelago participated in this study and collected using purposive sampling started September until November 2021. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model – Analysis of Moments Structures (SEM-AMOS). The result indicated that spiritual motivation is positively related to religious performance. Spiritual Intelligence and Intellectual Intelligence are not significantly related to religious performance. Also, job satisfaction mediates the relationship between spiritual and intellectual intelligence on religious performance. In conclusion, this study has identified the determinant factors of religious performance. In Islam, motivation is crucial in interpreting and giving birth to human actions. In the Islamic concept, the role of motivation is called intention and worship. The intention is a key driver of man to do or charity, while worship is the goal of human acts or deeds.

Authors: Shahidan Sharifahtun Naim , Ali Zuraina , Bakar Norsuhaily Abu
Published: September 2022

In recent decades, various digital technology tools such as Google Docs, wikis, and other collaborative writing platforms have shifted the writing perspectives from product-based to process-based writing. Motivation is a crucial component in developing learners' writing skills. It is not feasible to study if one lacks motivation. Therefore, the function of motivation in student learning is crucial to ensure effective writing among students. This paper presents a review of the current trends in the integration of Google Docs in collaborative writing. The review includes critical and analytical discussions on the motivational impact of using Google Docs to support collaborative writing. This study employed content analysis as a data analysis method. The findings show that Google Docs is beneficial to creating a supportive and motivating learning environment for learners. This paper suggests that more studies should be conducted to comprehensively explore the integration of Google Docs in collaborative writing in terms of learning outcomes and attitudes, particularly in the Malaysian higher education setting. Furthermore, examining studies on teachers' attitudes toward collaborative writing and Google Docs integration is highly advised.

Authors: RICHARD OSSAI NDUKA , EMEKA OJIEH ANTHONY
Published: September 2022

Numerous ophthalmic conditions, including eyestrain, ocular discomfort, dry eye, diplopia, and blurry vision, have been linked to excessive smartphone use. Studies show that the light from smartphones may contribute to macular degeneration, one of the most common causes of vision loss. This study assessed the long term exposure of mobile phone screen light on visual acuity of students in Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. The study examined the impact of phone blue light exposure to visual acuity and also to investigate if body mass index (BMI) affects visual acuity of participants. The research was carried out at Delta State University's Physiology Laboratory in Abraka, Nigeria. A total of 100 participants (50 male and 50 female) were selected for the study. Visual acuity were conducted for participants for 10 and 30 minutes respectively and the obtained data were displayed as mean standard deviation. The IBM SPSS version 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and means were compared using One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at p-levels less than 0.005, significance was acknowledged. The findings demonstrated that prolonged exposure to the blue light from mobile phones has a detrimental effect on vision in addition to having a considerable negative influence on visual acuity. Visual acuity was considerably impacted by an increase in BMI. Therefore, it is advised that smartphone users should take the necessary break to lessen eye strain. Additionally, appropriate recommendations for using cell phones should be made regarding the various symptoms brought on by visual fatigue from smartphones. More research needs to be done using an objective indicator and subjects of various ages.
DNA BARCODING OF SOME ZYGOPHYLLACEAE SPECIES IN THE EGYPTIAN FLORA
Authors: KHALIL RASHA M. A.
Published: September 2022

DNA barcoding is gaining a high popularity and due to its simplicity and high accuracy as compared to the complexity associated with morphological identification of taxa. Therefore, we tested the potential of the rbcL, matK and ITS f markers for the identification of wild plants belonging to diverse Zygophyllaceae species from different sites of Egypt. Maximum likelihood tree analysis was performed to evaluate the resolution power of each marker to discriminate species. The analyses of nucleotide sequences of rbcL, matK and ITS revealed that the topology of the rbcL tree was the best resolved which enabled identification of the majority of the species, perfectly. Therefore, we can suggest use of the rbcL region as an additional tool for phylogenetic analysis in Zygophyllaceae species. We recommend this study for any further studies on Zygophyllaceae family and contribution to taxonomical researches by adding a new dimension to the Egyptian flora.

Authors: Faure Caroline E. , Ray Beverly M.
Published: September 2022

Experiential learning is a critical component of sport management student learning and one that can transform the learning process. Not only are students able to apply classroom-acquired knowledge into practical situations, they are also provided the opportunity to build professional networks. Those networks could then assist students upon graduation when they enter a highly competitive job market. This study chronicles the capstone experiences of a group of undergraduate sport management students who were invited to work at a NCAA Championship event, the 2021 Big Sky Conference’s Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments. Using Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) as a framework for understanding, we aim to show how the experience produced optimal learning outcomes for a group of undergraduate sport management students.

Physical activity behaviors tend to decline while weight gain and psychological distress tend to increase during college. Physical education requirements (PERs) can help college students acquire and practice healthy lifestyle skills while overcoming barriers to unhealthy behaviors, shaping positive and healthy future habits. The majority of colleges and universities in the U.S. throughout the 20th century developed and implemented PERs; however, in the early 21stcentury, they dropped to an all-time low of 39%. Since their all-time high of 97% during the 1920s/1930s, a downward trend has been observed. The purpose of this study was to examine the current status of PERs in Oregon’s 2-year and 4-year institutions (N = 35). Results revealed that only 14.29% (i.e., 5 of 35) of Oregon’s institutions fully required PERs, while 28.57% (i.e., 10 of 35) did not require PERs for graduation. The majority of the sample (57.14%; i.e., 20 of 35) partially required physical education courses, meaning that not all degrees offered at the institution listed a PER or it was an option among a list of choices. Whereas all 2-year colleges required partial (n = 17) PERs, the majority of 4-year institutions did not require PERs (n = 10). Given the downward trend, there is an urgent need for updated state and national data on the status of PERs in U.S. colleges. Such data could help those in kinesiology and other wellness-related disciplines better advocate for the continuation of PERs and/or to understand the factors associated with their successful continuation.
Kinematics comparison of squat (2D vs 3D analysis) for remote learning – pilot study
Authors: Huang Mia , Bagesteiro Leia B.
Published: September 2022

Bodyweight squats are a common exercise in athletic training and rehabilitation due to their biomechanical and neuromuscular similarities to fundamental movements in a variety of sports and their requirements of coordination of major joints and numerous muscle groups (Schoenfeld, 2010). They are essential for kinesiology students, whose future careers often include athletic training and rehabilitation, to learn how to analyze the kinematics of a squat. While 3D movement analysis is considered the gold standard for motion capture (Chung & Ng, 2012), 2D digital video analysis is more commonly chosen in education environments to provide hands-on experience. However, few studies have investigated the differences between 2D and 3D analysis of squats (Escamilla et al., 2001; Krause et al., 2015; Schmitz et al., 2015). Therefore, the current study aims to compare 2D and 3D measurements of narrow-stance squats while enhancing learning by engaging students with hands-on experience using free, open-source software. Fifteen healthy adults (nine females, six males, 26.93 ± 9.04 years old) participated in this study. Following proper COVID safety guidelines, 2D analyses were performed by undergraduate students at home while 3D analyses were performed using a motion capture system in the laboratory. Lower extremity joint angles and displacements were calculated using 2D and 3D methods. Statistical significances were found when comparing the differences between both measurements except for hip flexion. Nonetheless, the resulting angular and linear measurements from both 2D and 3D analyses aligned with previous research, suggesting that 2D digital video analysis is a viable option for educational purposes despite the significant differences.

Published: September 2022

The purpose was to determine emergent themes across three sources of information. Guiding Question: Did data sets define design themes? Data sets were: 1) children’s drawings, 2) university student drawings, and 3) writing. Children (ages 6-10 years; n=6) completed drawings of the playscape. University students (n=33) responded using the children’s drawings and a site visit. Data Set #1 and Data Set #2 were coded using three aspects of each drawing: 1) depiction, 2) activity, and 3) word association. Five categories were used to sort information in each aspect. These included 1) gross motor, 2) fine motor, 3) cognition, 4) sensory, or 5) multiple category. Data Set #3 was sorted using five skills categories for each aspect. Coders were trained to interpret drawings and word associations. Reliability required 100% agreement between two coders. Five emergent themes included 1) Visual, 2) Auditory, 3) Movement, 4) Semi-enclosed Spaces, and 5) Natural Elements.

Personal and relational wellness in a community-based weight loss program for women: Implications for weight loss programs
Authors: Lee D’Abundo Michelle , Combs Sue , Tant Elizabeth
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this research was to describe the participants’ perspectives of a community-based weight loss program for women. Five focus groups were conducted with participants from the Weight Wise Women program in two community facilities in southeastern North Carolina. Focus group participants (N= 50) from three cohorts of the Weight Wise Women program were between 40-64 years of age, and all had a body mass index of > 25. Data analyses consisted of coding and organizing information from observations, notes and transcriptions into themes. Three broad categories emerged. The first, personal wellness, included learning, health, control over life, and self-efficacy and secondly relational wellness included social and peer structure, support from instructors, and collaboration. The final category was specific comments about the program. Participants viewed this program as an effective way to lose weight. Implications include suggestions for community weight loss programs that could improve participant experiences, outcomes and the health of the community.

The performance of gender in American dance
Authors: Buchanan Murray Melonie , Ross Murray Steven
Published: September 2022

With kinesiology defined as the study of human movement, then dance, as one of the oldest forms of physical activity, should be considered. Dance permeates contemporary American culture—from social dancing, to community dance studios, to popular television shows. Dance scholars and cultural theorists agree that the way a society dances elucidates cultural values. If we accept the notion that a culture’s dances reflect the values of that culture, then a scrutiny of American gendered dance practices is warranted. Contemporary society views gender differently than the societies of the socio-historical context in which common Western dance genres, such as classical ballet, were born and developed. By highlighting ways that most dance training reinforces gendered codes of behavior, this paper contributes to discourses surrounding the evolution of dance in America and evolving notions of gender, while also providing a lens that might be applied to a multitude of physical practices.
Do socio-cultural traits and other demographics affect outdoor recreation constraints? The case for Mesa County, Colorado
Authors: Perry Nathan , Casey T. Timothy , Ross Murray Steven
Published: September 2022

Physical activity from outdoor recreational pursuits is well known to be beneficial and has been encouraged by the US Surgeon General.  Specific constraints, often reflected in sociocultural issues, can be impediments to individuals participating in outdoor recreational activities.  Data were collected in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management and the Mesa County Health Department in Colorado via surveys involving 580 residents of Mesa County regarding access to outdoor recreation.  Ordinal logistic regression was used to test whether ten different constraints to outdoor recreation were important to the respondents, given their age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, native language, and residential density.  The results indicated that the probability of experiencing outdoor constraints increased with lower education, Hispanic ethnicity, native Spanish speaking, and young age.  A second model, albeit with fewer respondents, was tested to include income.  The results of the second model were similar to the first model and also showed that lower incomes were associated with a higher probability of outdoor constraints.  The results of the two models indicated that socioeconomic status was a driving factor behind constraints to outdoor recreation.
Examining body image in retired collegiate volleyball players
Authors: Laure Caroline E. , Meline Nichole
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine the self-perceived body image of female volleyball players more than 10 years after their collegiate playing careers have ended. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, we surveyed and later interviewed ten former collegiate volleyball players ranging in age from 29 to 52. We identified and explored four emergent themes. These were (a) maintaining an athlete identity, (b) focusing on new priorities, (c) physical changes, and (d) body image. Most of the women have maintained their athletic identity to some degree, however new priorities, including work motherhood, have lessened its importance. As a result of the decreased emphasis on sport and the accompanying aging process, the women recognize physical changes, many of which have altered their perception of their overall body image but have not caused a significant amount of distress.
Influence of exercise on the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and exercise programming recommendations: a qualitative study
Authors: Jensen Kelly , Newland Aubrey
Published: September 2022

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnoses are on the rise, yet there is a lack of research on alternative methods of treatments. Recommendations for exercise and physical activity are common in the treatment of depression and anxiety (Dunn et al., 2005) and, due to similarities in symptoms, may be valuable for individuals with PTSD as well. To our knowledge, no study has been conducted interviewing individuals with PTSD about their present and past exercise habits and how these have affected their symptoms. The purpose of the present study was to understand different approaches to exercise and physical activity for individuals with PTSD and how exercise can ameliorate their associated symptoms. Participants were recruited through social media, flyers, and word of mouth. Ten participants with self-reported PTSD were interviewed about their exercise and physical activity habits and how it affects their symptoms. Findings included two themes: Exercise and Well-Being. Each theme was comprised of additional categories. Using these findings, a theoretical framework for exercise programming for this population is suggested. All participants reported that exercise/physical activity helped reduce the severity of their symptoms associated with PTSD.
