This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven untrained female Ss were studied to determine if water aerobics would elicit cardiorespiratory and body composition changes similar to those elicited by aerobic dance. The Ss ranged in age from 18 to 22 yr and included 4 from an aerobic dance (AD) class, 4 from a water aerobics (WA) class, and 3 from a bowling class used as a control group. Both the WA and AD groups trained 4 d/wk, 40 min/session for 7 wk. All Ss were given pre- (T1) and post- (T2) volitional max treadmill tests using the Modified Astrand Protocol. Atarget HR based on 75% of the max HR value attained on the initial max test was assigned. Training HR's were monitored and recorded daily. The AD and WA groups worked at an average intensity of 78% and 71% of maximal HR, respectively. An independent t-test indicated that training HR's of the WA group were sig (p .05) lower than those of the AD group. An ANCOVA with repeated measures showed no sig (p .05) differences in: body weight, % body fat, Max VO2 (L.min -1 and ml.kg.min.-1), treadmill run time, max VE, and heart rate among groups at the post-test. These findings indicated that no differential changes occurred in the above variables as a result of the 7 wk training period. It was concluded that, in the present study, neither WA nor AD were effective exercise modes for improving cardiovascular fitness or body composition. Exercise in water may elicit a lower HR response than training on land due to physiologic adaptations to exercise in this medium.
