Objectives: This single-arm, pre–post intervention study with a three-month follow-up aimed to determine whether a ten-day outdoor camp combining mixed-modality physical activity and time-restricted feeding elicits positive changes in multiple body-composition outcome measures and whether those changes persist at three-month follow-up. Methods: Forty healthy undergraduates (18 male, 22 female) participated in a 10-day outdoor camp that combined multi-modal physical activities (rock climbing and bouldering, swimming, hiking, applied paddling, survival skills, etc.) with a 13 h daily time-restricted feeding window. Body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, body mass, total body-water percentage, visceral fat level, and skeletal muscle index were measured using the InBody 270 at baseline, immediately post-camp, and at the three-month follow-up. Results: Mixed-effects models with random intercepts for subject revealed significant reductions in body fat percentage (β = −1.63, p < 0.001) and visceral fat level (β = −0.72, p = 0.001), alongside increases in skeletal muscle percentage (β = 1.02, p < 0.001), skeletal muscle index (β = 0.30, p < 0.001), and total body-water percentage (β = 1.19, p < 0.001) from baseline to post-camp; no outcomes differed between baseline and follow-up and no time × sex interactions were observed. Conclusions: These findings indicate that a brief, intensive nature-based intervention can drive rapid, multidimensional improvements in body composition, but structured maintenance is required to sustain benefits.

Sport discipline ice climbing was built on the reputation of climbing frozen waterfalls and can be defined as a unique discipline under the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) in artificial, prescribed conditions, and according to certain rules. Due to the lack of articles about the motor activities of top ice climbers, the aim of this study is to determine sport performance of ice climbers, both genders, in discipline 'lead climbing'. Both genders are analysed, because in this sport discipline there is positive discrimination, due to the weaker characteristics of the female climbers. The propositions define that women and men have different climbing routes. Therefore, the sample were UIAA World Cup finalists in Beijing (2017) in lead climbing discipline, 8 men and 8 women. The method of work is the analysis of sport performance using the notation analysis. It was found that the average time of the race for men was 224.52 ± 98.81 seconds, of which the active climbing time was 103.88 ± 48.97 seconds, while the passive climbing time - pauses was 119.66 ± 50.40 seconds. The average time of the race of women was 219.09 ± 62.11 seconds, of which the active climbing time was 108.52 ± 31.37 seconds, while the passive climbing time-pause was 110.58 ± 41.42 seconds. Although men and women climbed in a different direction, this analysis did not find the difference in sport performance between the gender, as well as in terms of the climbing pace and the type of technique used. The results of this analysis can be of great importance to trainers for practical work, for the immediate preparation of competitors for participation in UIAA ice climbing competitions.

Alpinism is climbing to high mountains every season by hardly accessible and steep walls due to the discovery of the beauty of the natural environment, as well as the strengthening of physical strength, endurance and will. To ensure that alpinists are able to successfully and safely perform their ascents and achieve top sporting results, well-developed motor skills, as well as balanced morphological characteristics are necessary. Motor skills are the result of complex man's ability to manifest motor structures in certain activities, which integrate psychic characteristics, biochemical processes and functional changes. The aim of the research is to examine the differences in the morphological characteristics and motor skills of alpinists and other athletes, ages 16-26, both sexes. The sample of the respondents is 30 athletes, 15 alpinists (6 women and 9 men) and 15 other athletes (8 women and 7 men). It has been found that male alpinists are different from other athletes to the extent of BMI body composition. Women alpinists differ from other athletes in the capacity of the explosive muscle strength of the leg armpit. Alpinists, both sexes have better results than other athletes, both sexes in the relative strength and stamina of the upper body. Between alpinists and other athletes, both sexes have no difference in motor skills, agility and speed of movement, and ability to maintain balance on the front of the foot. The paper presents a good starting point for trainers to learn morphological characteristics and motor skills, as well as to plan the training process in the future.

Background: Outdoor physical activity encompassing structured exercise, recreational activities, and environmentally facilitated movement, during pregnancy may confer benefits through both exercise and exposure to natural environments and sunlight. However, evidence on maternal health outcomes remains heterogeneous and has not been systematically mapped. This scoping review aimed to synthesize research on outdoor physical activity and nature-based environmental exposure during pregnancy, and their associations with maternal metabolic, cardiovascular, and mental health outcomes, as well as pregnancy-related outcomes. Methods: The review followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for studies published between January 2013 and February 2026. Records were screened against predefined eligibility criteria. Methodological quality was assessed with design-specific tools: PEDro for randomized controlled trials; the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale for cohort and case–control studies; and JBI and CASP checklists for cross-sectional, quasi-experimental, pilot, and qualitative studies. Results: Of 935 identified records, 22 met the eligibility criteria. Outdoor exposure was operationalized through structured outdoor programs (mainly walking-based), self-reported outdoor activity patterns, and environmental indicators such as residential greenness and neighborhood walkability. Outcomes clustered into metabolic and cardiometabolic measures, mental health indicators, pregnancy and birth outcomes, and behavioral or environmental determinants of physical activity. Overall, most studies (17 of 22) reported at least one positive association, with the most consistent evidence for metabolic outcomes and mental health, whereas pregnancy and birth outcomes yielded more heterogeneous results. Conclusions: Outdoor physical activity and supportive natural or built environments may be associated with favorable maternal metabolic and mental health during pregnancy. Nevertheless, heterogeneity in exposure assessment and study design limits comparability and constrains causal inference. Future research should standardize outdoor exposure metrics and apply designs capable of isolating environmental effects from exercise alone.
