Bakgrund: Fysioterapeuter inom den offentliga vården upplever i större grad missnöje med arbetsbelastning och villkor. Flera nya privata arbetsplatser har på senare tid öppnats upp för fysioterapeuter, exempelvis på gym. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur fysioterapeuter upplever sin anställning på privata gym, hur deras anställning kan skilja sig från en anställning inom den offentliga vården samt hur samarbetet ser ut med övriga professioner på arbetsplatsen och med övriga vårdinstanser. Syfte: Att undersöka hur fysioterapeuter på privata gym utan avtal med sjukvårdsregionen upplever sin yrkesroll och deras erfarenheter av yrket, samt vilka möjligheter och begränsningar de upplever i arbetet. Metod: Fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med privatanställda fysioterapeuter från olika gym i Sverige utfördes. Datan analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet visade att privatanställda fysioterapeuter på gym upplevde en mindre arbetsbelastning, mer flexibla arbetstider och arbetade med friskare patienter, ofta med högre målsättningar än inom offentlig vård. De upplevde dock en sämre tillgång till medicinsk utrustning och medicinska kollegor. Yrkesrollen skilde sig från personliga tränare gällande klientel och yrkeskompetens. Samarbeten mellan professionerna skedde i varierande utsträckning.   Slutsats: Studien indikerar att fysioterapeuter på privata gym upplever större flexibilitet och frihet i sitt arbete men med sämre tillgång till medicinsk utrustning jämfört med offentlig vård.Yrkesrollen skiljer sig från personliga tränare då de har olika kompetenser och därför arbetar med olika klienter. Fler studier krävs på bredare populationer för att dra slutsatser kring hur arbetssituationen kan optimeras för fysioterapeuter inom privat och offentlig vård. / Background: Physical therapists within the public healthcare system are experiencing greater dissatisfaction with their workload and working conditions. Several new private workplaces have recently opened up for physical therapists, such as gyms. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how physical therapists perceive their employment at private gyms, how their employment may differ from employment within the public healthcare system, and how collaboration works with other professions in the workplace as well as with other healthcare institutions. Purpose: To investigate how physical therapists at private gyms without contracts with the healthcare region perceive their professional role and their experiences in the profession, as well as the opportunities and limitations they experience in their work. Method: Five semi-structured interviews were conducted with privately employed physical therapists from different gyms in Sweden. The data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The results showed that privately employed physiotherapists in gyms experienced lower workloads, more flexible working hours, and worked with healthier patients, often with higher goals compared to public healthcare. However, they reported poorer access to medical equipment and medical colleagues. The professional role differed from personal trainers in terms of clientele and professional competence. Collaborations between the professions occurred to varying extents. Conclusion: The study indicate that physiotherapists working in private gyms experience greater flexibility and freedom in their work compared to public healthcare. Private gyms are perceived to have poorer access to medical equipment and staff compared to public healthcare. The professional role differs from personal trainers as they possess different skills and, therefore, work with different clients. More studies are needed on broader populations to draw conclusions on how the work situation can be optimized for physiotherapists in private and public healthcare.

Research into indoor environment has shown that schools are buildings with high- levels of particulate matter concentrations. This is especially the case of schools situated in high-density traffic or in industrial areas. Several studies have also proven the impact of PM on the teenage generation's health. So far no detailed study has been performed to cover the environment of school gyms where the PM dynamics are different from other indoor microenvironments. This different dynamics relates to the gym environment heterogeneity and to the human activities taking place in it. Due to higher pulmonary ventilation, the exposure of the exercising pupils can reach levels possibly noxious to their health. Size resolved mass concentrations of aerosol were measured in three elementary Schools in Prague. One school was situated in the city centre with high traffic density. The second school was situated on a plateau on the periphery with a medium level traffic. The third school can be found in Prague south-western suburbia, in an open landscape, with low traffic density. PM concentrations were measured simultaneously in naturally ventilated gyms and outdoors ajacent to the particular school building. Two pairs of monitors were used throughout the study: A DustTrak Aerosol Monitor and a Personal Cascade...

Se por um lado, o corpo é objeto de cuidados e de construção de sentidos na sociedade atual, por outro lado, a religião cristã, tradicionalmente, lidou com o corpo sob o signo da desconfiança, pois ele representa o lugar do pecado e da perdição. O propósito dessa pesquisa foi analisar a relação entre corpo e religião, que existe hoje, a partir desse lugar central ocupado pelo corpo. Procuramos mostrar como essa mudança do lugar do corpo refletiu na relação corpo e religião e em que medida isso aconteceu. Fizemos isso a partir do entendimento dos frequentadores das academias de ginástica. Investigamos como esses indivíduos relacionavam o corpo sarado com o corpo religioso, e se o corpo passou a ocupar um significado religioso maior na sociedade. Acreditamos que existam outras fronteiras entre a compreensão cristã do corpo e as percepções de corpo dentro das novas subjetividades contemporâneas. E se há uma busca de um corpo em forma, sarado podemos falar também de um corpo religioso em forma. / The search for a model of lean and muscular body, seen as fit, is a contemporary phenomenon. On the one hand, the body is the object of care and construction of meanings in today's society. On the other hand, the Christian religion has traditionally handled the body under the sign of distrust, as it is the object of sin and perdition. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between body and religion in our days, considering the centrality of the body. It was attempted to show how the change of body importance reflected on the relationship between body and religion, as well as to what extent this has happened. The research was done based on the perception of regular gym-goers. It was investigated how these individuals related the fit body to the religious body, and whether the body has taken a greater religious significance in our society. We believe there are other frontiers between the Christian understanding of the body and the perception of the body among the new contemporary subjectivities. In addition, if there is a search for a fit body, we can also speak of a religious body in shape.

While physical activity has many important benefits on our health and well-being, many people find it hard to establish and maintain long-lasting exercise routines. Technology can be an effective tool to combat this issue by increasing users’ motivation to exercise and encouraging them to make healthier choices. In this qualitative study, we explored the persuasive effect and potential of an online booking system (OBS) implemented in a gym in the South West of United Kingdom to limit the amount of people in the facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of our research was to examine gym members’ experiences of the system, how it had impacted their motivation to exercise, and to explore how their experiences could be used in a digital system aiming to promote regular gym-use and long-lasting exercise routines. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, carried out with five gym members. The results demonstrate that all informants had ambivalent feelings towards the OBS, with both positive and negative attitudes towards the system. Three key findings were identified. First, the system forced the users to adapt their exercise routines and daily activities in general to its new constraints which, in some instances, reduced their motivation to exercise. Second, the activity of booking and scheduling gym sessions gave the users a sense of commitment and determination, which increased their motivation to adhere to their planned exercise regime. Third, the users experienced the increased familiarity in the gym as a positive outcome of the OBS. Based on the empirical findings, we proposed a set of recommended features and three key components which can be beneficial to include in a digital system aiming to increase gym user’s motivation to exercise, and that could come of use to designers developing interactive systems for gym settings.

En el Perú las pymes comprenden más del 98% del total del mercado. Además, simbolizan más del 75% de toda la población ocupada dando como resultados una contribución del 42% del PBI, también se considera pequeñas empresas a aquellas que alcanzan un promedio de 800 UIT anuales con un número de trabajadores no mayor a 50 ni menor a 10 (Universidad de Lima: Revista Perfil de Negocios, 2016). Es así, como se demuestra la gran importancia del sector pyme en el mercado peruano influyendo en gran medida a la economía del país. En esta oportunidad se tomó como materia de investigación el rubro de servicio de los gimnasios en Lima metropolitana. Debido a su gran concentración en el mercado de negocios locales. A su vez, se considera el alto impacto de la necesidad de asistir a un gimnasio para las personas hoy en día (MINSA, 2017). A pesar de la preferencia de las personas por asistir a un gimnasio, se ha demostrado que existe una alta tasa de deserción de las actividades físicas por parte de los clientes, aquello ocurre pocos meses después de iniciar una membresía. Es por ello, que la presente tesis tiene por finalidad conocer los factores que pronuncian dicho declive y fomentar acciones que permitan reducir dicha deserción de clientes en donde recurrimos al QFD y Lean Service para el análisis del problema. Cabe mencionar que dicha problemática no solo trae repercusiones a nivel económicos para los gimnasios, sino, también a nivel imagen / In Peru, PYMEs comprise more than 98% of the total market. In addition, they symbolize more than 75% of the entire employed population, resulting in a contribution of 42% of GDP, small companies are also considered those that reach an average of 800 UIT per year with a number of workers not greater than 50 nor less than 10 (University of Lima: Business Profile Magazine, 2016). This is how the great monopolization of the SME sector in the Peruvian market is demonstrated, giving a high power of economic concentration on them. On this occasion, the service area of the gyms in metropolitan Lima was taken as a research subject. Due to its great concentration in the local business market. In turn, the high impact of the need to attend a gym is considered for people today (MINSA, 2017). Despite people's preference for attending a gym, it has been shown that there is a high dropout rate from physical activities by customers, which occurs within a few months of starting a membership. For this reason, the purpose of this thesis is to know the factors that lead to said decline and to promote actions that reduce the churn of customers where we turn to the QFD and Lean Service to analyze the problem. It is worth mentioning that this problem not only brings economic repercussions for gyms, but also at the image level. / Tesis

El presente trabajo consiste en la implementación del proyecto sobre alquiler de equipos de gimnasios en buen estado mediante una plataforma web. Debido a la coyuntura actual varias empresas dedicadas a brindar el servicio de gimnasio a través de sus locales tuvieron que cerrar por orden del gobierno peruano para mitigar el riesgo por contagio por el COVID-19 y posteriormente solo se permitió apertura con la condición de aforo de sólo 30 % lo que generó pérdidas económicas importantes. Asimismo, las personas que asistían a estos lugares dejaron de hacerlo por miedo al contagio o porque no podían asistir debido a que no había horario disponible y que se vieron obligados a realizar actividad física en su hogar de manera rústica o comprando equipos de gimnasio para no perder la rutina. Por ello, se planteó este proyecto que soluciona este problema, el cual consiste en ofrecer una plataforma web para que las personas que cuentan con máquinas de gimnasio puedan registrarse en la plataforma web donde se evaluaran el estado de sus máquinas de gimnasio y puedan alquilar sus equipos a las personas que requieran un equipo de gimnasio específico que les permita realizar su actividad física en su hogar. / The present project consists of the implementation of the project on the rental of gym equipment in good condition through a web platform. Due to the current situation, several companies dedicated to providing the gym service through their premises had to close by order of the Peruvian government to mitigate the risk of contagion by COVID-19 and later only opening was allowed with the capacity of only 30 % which generated significant economic losses. Likewise, the people who attended these places stopped doing so for fear of contagion or because they could not attend because there were no hours available, and they were forced to do physical activity at home in a rustic way or by buying gym equipment so as not to lose the routine. For this reason, this project was proposed to solve this problem, which consists of offering a web platform so that people who have gym machines can register on the web platform where the status of their gym machines will be evaluated, and they can rent their equipment to people who require specific gym equipment that allows them to perform physical activity at home. / Trabajo de investigación

Abstracts in English, Afrikaans and Xhosa / Consumers are an important part of business and understanding their behaviour, wants, and needs plays a vital role in the success of any business. This study focussed on the health and fitness industry in South Africa and the consumers making use of their services, as well as the non-users of these services. The primary objective of this study is to develop a consumer typology for health and fitness centres, based on the consumer behaviour of its members. Non-gym member responses were also solicited. A questionnaire was developed and sent out via email and Facebook, using convenience and snowball sampling to gather quantitative data. In total, 209 responses were received of which 98 were gym members and 111 not. Various statistical analyses were conducted on the data. A factor analysis was done to create a more manageable number of variables, while a cluster analysis was done to indicate whether certain profiles existed within the data. Cross-tabulations were carried out on the profiles to identify any significant differences in terms of their consumer behaviour. A T-test was performed to determine whether any differences existed regarding the choice of a specific health and fitness centre, while two binary logistical regressions were done to identify which factors could predict gym membership. The results indicated that two distinct gym member profiles, and two non-gym member profiles, could be identified. / Verbruikers is ʼn belangrike deel van besigheid en ʼn deeglike begrip van hul gedrag, begeertes en behoeftes speel ʼn deurslaggewende rol in die sukses van enige sakeonderneming.

En la actualidad, solo uno de tres peruanos mayores a los 15 años realiza algún tipo de actividad física, dicha situación es alarmante. Ocasiona que las personas sean propensas a contraer enfermedades crónicas como diabetes, hipertensión, cardiopatías, cáncer, según Alexandro Saco, director de la Promoción de la Salud del Minsa. Cabe precisar que aquellos que padecen las enfermedades antes mencionadas están en riesgo al contagiarse de covid-19. A lo antes mencionado se le suma que las constantes exhalaciones por el esfuerzo durante la actividad física provocan un ambiente más favorable para los contagios de coronavirus dentro de los gimnasios. Es por ello, que el Gobierno Peruano se vio en la obligación de cerrar los gimnasios. Sin embargo, en el Perú según el último reporte (2019) del IHRSA, existen 1,818 gimnasios y centros de entrenamiento, que en estos momentos se mantienen cerrados afectando a alrededor de 20,000 profesionales del deporte. En base a ello, nace “HEALTHY MIND”, una idea de negocio de un grupo de alumnos de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. Este equipo analizó la situación que se vive en la actualidad y elaboró un servicio para que las personas puedan cambiar su estilo de vida desde casa y no tengan excusas para realizar alguna actividad física. Este proyecto consiste en brindar diversas disciplinas de manera online, al inscribirse podrán acceder a clases en vivo, grabaciones de las clases, un blog con tips para llevar una vida saludable y recibirán un control semanal por parte de los entrenadores personales. / At present, only one in teree Peruvians over 15 years of age performs some type of physical activity, this situation is alarming. It causes people to be prone to contracting chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, according to Alexandro Saco, director of Health Promotion of the Minsa. It should be noted that those who suffer from the aforementioned diseases are at risk by contracting covid-19. To the aforementioned, it is added that the constant exhalations due to effort during physical activity cause a more favorable environment for coronavirus infections within gyms. That is why the Peruvian Government was forced to close the gyms. However, in Peru, according to the latest IHRSA report (2019), there are 1,818 gyms and training centers, which are currently closed, affecting around 20,000 sports professionals. Based on this, “HEALTHY MIND” was born, a business idea from a group of students from the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences. This team analyzed the current situation and developed a service so that people can change their lifestyle from home and have no excuses for doing any physical activity. This project consists of providing various disciplines online, by registering you will be able to access live classes, class recordings, a blog with tips for leading a healthy life and will receive weekly control from personal trainers. / Trabajo de investigación
