Differences in physical activity between non-overweight, overweight and obese children

The purpose of the study was to find out differences in moderate to vigorous physical activity among non-overweight, overweight and obese children, and between boys and girls. The sample included 364 children (179 boys and 185 girls), aged 6.4 years (+/- 0.3 SD). Physical activity was assessed by 7-day questionnaire. Age adapted BMI was used as overweight and obesity indicator. The children were divided into non-overweight, overweight and obese groups. It was found out, that there are significant differences in non-overweight, overweight and obese children (p < 0.05). Boys were significantly (p < 0.05) less moderate to vigorous physical active than girls, especially in indoor activities. There were also significant differences (p < 0.05) in moderate to vigorous physical activity among non-overweight and obese boys and among overweight and obese boys in weekends and total weekly activity. In girls there are significant differences (p < 0.05) in non-overweight, overweight and groups in weekends and total weekly activity. It is possible to conclude, that obese boys and overweight and obese girls, are prone to less physical activity.     

Synthesis and structural elucidation of novel camphor-derived thioureas

Nine novel (+)-camphor-derived thioureas have been prepared. 3-((Dimethylamino)methylene)camphor (2) served as the common precursor for the preparation of both, 2-thiourea 15-20 and 3-thiourea functionalized camphor derivatives 6, 7/7', respectively. Starting from 2, the latter were prepared in two or three steps whereas the former in five steps, respectively. Configuration of all novel compounds has been meticulously determined using NMR techniques and/or single crystal X-ray crystallography.
