... Recent studies report that foot cooling (FC) improves lower limb strength performance in moderate indoor ambient temperature Wu et al., 2021). In resistance-trained athletes, during four sets of 85%-90% one-repetition maximum (1 RM) leg-press exercise pyramid workouts, interset FC at 10°C for 2.5 min exhibits higher repetitions leading to exhaustion per set, higher total exercise volume without increasing the degree of rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and greater vastus lateralis (VL) muscle activation than non-cooling (NC) conditions . ...

... Regarding physical factors, improved posture, reduced discomfort, prevention of occupational diseases, and enhanced flexibility, strength, and coordination had been documented. Studies demonstrated that physically active individuals had superior cognitive functions compared to sedentary individuals (Chou et al., 2021). Importantly, the average amount of physical exercise relates to improved brain function and structure. ...

... The studies also reported a decreased rating of perceived exertion (RPE; men alone) and increased percentage difference in the EMG amplitude in either or both of the triceps or anterior deltoid muscles in the cooling condition compared with control, indicating a potential reduced perception of effort and increased muscle activation. In a similar fashion, sole cooling during the interset rest period by foot immersion in 10°C of water during a leg press pyramid workout elicited a greater number of repetitions and vastus lateralis EMG amplitude compared with noncooling control (3). However, despite this evidence, ergogenic effects of distal interset cooling during resistance exercise have not been shown to be universal. ...

... Possible reasons may involve that the inadequacy of an individual's mental health literacy may lead to difficulty in identifying symptoms of mental illness, lack of understanding as well as negative attitude toward professional treatment, thus showing unfavorable attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help as well as poorer adherence to treatment regimens (18). Furthermore, adequate mental health literacy can significantly improve adults' understanding of exercise style and intensity, and promote the recognition of exercise effect, meanwhile, students who perceived the benefits of exercise usually exhibit more physical activities (19,20). ...

... The average values of moderate-vigorous physical activity of the participants were higher than the 60 min/day recommended by the WHO [5] and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [14] and those found in other studies [51][52][53][54]. Screen time was lower than the maximum recommended 120 min/day by the WHO [10] and the findings of other studies [25][26][27][28][29]37]. Sleeping time was higher than the minimum recommended for their age [34,35] and those shown in other studies [33,36,37,55] but lower by almost three minutes (551 ± 54 min/day) than in the study by Peiró-Velert et al. in Spanish adolescents [45]. ...

... The elementary clarification aspect consist of several parts, such as focusing question, analyzing arguments, dan ask and answer questions that require an explanation. This study focuses on one of the indicators Critical Thinking, namely elementary Clarification (giving a simple explanation) (Huang et al., 2017;Tang et al., 2020). Which includes the skills to focus on questions, analyze arguments, and ask and answer an explanation or challenge. ...
