Education is a key component of the student’s transformation towards the creation of a more sustainable future. Among the methodological adaptations in teaching–learning processes, Service-Learning (SL) stands out as a meaningful academic experience to respond to social needs by developing committed citizens to transform society. The aim of the present study was to analyze the impact of this SL program on prosocial competence and satisfaction levels in university students, enhance physical fitness and analyze the reflections of the recipients. Moreover, the reflections on SL of the students and the migrants were analyzed. A mixed-methods design was performed. Forty-five students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences provided a service to a migrant group that consisted of physical fitness training. The instruments implemented were the Prosocial and Civic Competence, the Impact of Service-Learning During Initial Training of Physical Activity and Sports and the reflective diary. The recipients participated in a physical fitness assessment and in a group discussion. The results show that SL in PAH contributes to pedagogical, communication, wellbeing and intercultural competences and also improves their prosocial and civic attitudes. Moreover, the recipients could enhance their physical fitness and their social interaction.

Active commuting by bicycle offers health and environmental benefits, yet it remains uncommon among university populations. This study aimed to identify key factors influencing bicycle commuting among university students and staff based on cyclist typology and to assess the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and socio-ecological models. A total of 305 students and 79 staff completed a questionnaire assessing sociodemographic, psychological, social, and environmental variables. Results revealed significant differences based on cyclist typology. Urban cyclists reported fewer perceived barriers (1.96 ± 0.59) and more advantages (3.61 ± 0.40) than non-cyclists (2.71 ± 0.56 and 3.26 ± 0.49, respectively; p < 0.001). While personal and psychological factors were most influential for non-cyclists, environmental aspects were more relevant for urban cyclists and cyclists. Multinomial logistic regression showed that for both cyclists and urban cyclists, bicycle ownership (OR = 0.098–0.104, p < 0.001) and intention to use (OR = 0.091–0.358, p ≤ 0.02) were key predictors of cycling behaviour. Although gender was only a significant predictor for cyclists (OR = 3.41, p = 0.003), this variable did not influence urban cycling behaviour. These findings support using TPB and socio-ecological models to design targeted, multilevel interventions.

Running-induced fatigue affects several biomechanical parameters, and yet few studies are focused on the acceleration spikes’ asymmetries. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 30 min run on lower limbs spikes’ asymmetries. Eighteen recreational runners (35.6 ± 7.5 years; seven women) performed a treadmill running protocol at a moderate speed and acceleration spikes’ asymmetries and kinematic (temporal) parameters were measured via accelerometers—on the tibias and sacrum—and photogrammetry. Acceleration spikes’ parameters were continuously measured and averaged per minute to assess the relationship between fatigue and acceleration spike asymmetries via a linear regression model. Right tibial acceleration spikes increased over time (r = 0.9; p < 0.001) and left tibia spikes decreased (r = 0.78; p < 0.001), with a rise in tibial load asymmetry from 9% to 25% at the end (r = 0.98; p < 0.001). This study suggest that fatigue affects the acceleration spikes of the two legs differently, with increasingly greater acceleration spikes in the right (dominant) leg. These findings should be considered, as greater asymmetries are related to overuse injuries and lower efficiency. Also, in studies focusing on running mechanics with fatigue, it is recommended that researchers collect data from both limbs, and not only from the right (dominant) leg.

(1) Background: Climate change and a sedentary lifestyle have been associated with negative effects on global health and sustainable development. Active commuting (AC) represents an important solution for mitigating global warming and improving health. Thus, policies that encourage this behavior could have an impact on health and sustainability. Therefore, the aims of this study were (a) to describe the mode of commuting in university staff and students; (b) to analyze the influences of this behavior; and (c) to compare perceived barriers by mode of commuting. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study with a descriptive design was conducted. In total, 384 university community members (79.4% students and 20.6% staff) were recruited via non-probability sampling and completed an online questionnaire. Mode of commuting, sociodemographic data, and perceived barriers were analyzed. (3) Results: Most of the sample commuted passively to university. This behavior was significantly higher in those who those lived in rural residences and a distance more than 15 km from the university, owned one vehicle, perceived higher psychosocial and environmental barriers, and were women. (4) Conclusions: Universities play a key role in health promotion and sustainable development. Therefore, they should design specific measures according to their characteristics, and barriers.

Running-induced fatigue affects several biomechanical parameters, yet few studies are focused on the acceleration spikes asymmetries. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a 30-minute run on lower limbs spikes’ asymmetries. Eighteen recreational runners per-formed the test at a moderate speed and acceleration spikes asymmetries and kinematic (temporal) parameters were measured via accelerometers -on tibias and sacrum- and 2D photogrammetry. Acceleration spikes parameters were continuously measured and aver-aged per minute to assess the relationship between fatigue and acceleration spike asym-metries via a linear regression model. Right tibial acceleration spikes increased over time (r = 0.9; p < 0.001) and left tibia spikes decreased (r = 0.78; p < 0.001), with a rise in tibial load asymmetry index from 9% at the start of the test to a 25% at the end (r = 0.98; P < 0.001). The study suggest that fatigue affects acceleration spike of both limbs differently, with increasingly greater acceleration spikes in the right-dominant leg. The findings should be considered, as greater asymmetries are related to overuse injuries and lower ef-ficiency. Also, in studies focusing on running mechanics with fatigue, it is recommended to collect data from both limbs, and not only from the right-dominant.
