Book excerpt: This study compared the effects bouldering wall activities to resistance band exercises on upper body strength and grip strength in elementary school children. Fifty-five (n = 55) subjects in grades 4-6 participated in the study. The subjects were randomly assigned to the bouldering wall group GI resistance band group. Both groups participated in a training period of 6 weeks During the six weeks, climbers were on the bouldering wall for approximately ten minutes, 2-3 times per week. The subjects who were assigned to the resistance bands performed 8 exercises that trained the muscles of the upper body. These subjects performed 2-3 sets of 12 repetitions for each exercise 2-3 times per week. Pre/post tests for the flexed arm hang and right and left hand grip strength were given to each subject. The ANCOVA results show a significant difference (p .05) between pre and posttest scores for both males and females in both groups. Chi Square results show that there were significantly fewer participants below the Healthy Fitness Zone, and significantly more in the Healthy Fitness Zone (x' = 8.22, df = 2, p = .016) after treatment. There was not a significant difference (p .05) between the groups before or after the training period. This study indicated that bouldering wall and resistance band activities were equally effective in developing upper body and grip strength in elementary students.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Childhood obesity and mental health continue to be a growing concern. Today, children are exposed to technology and other gadgets increasing their opportunities to be sedentary thus, children’s lack of physical activity, could increase negative self-esteem reports. Because of this, engaging in an active lifestyle may help improve self-esteem in adolescents. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess how body composition and physical activity relates to self-esteem within adolescents. Methods: The study was completed following 15 weeks. A total sample of 44 (28 boys, 16 girls) subjects gave assent and parental consent to be included in the study. Students participated in various weightlifting classes in which they completed three mesocycles of resistance training during the semester. To test pre and post variables, Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzers (BIA) were used to assess body composition (BC). Self-esteem (SE) was measured by the Rosenburg Self-esteem Scale. A Digital Hand Dynamometer was be used to assess the effect of resistance training on student’s handgrip strength (HGS). Results: Due to unequal sample-sizes between genders, the primary statistics of this study were assessed as an independent t-test (collapsed across gender). Results revealed no significant difference for BC or HGS (p = 0.171 – 0.619), however, there was a significant difference between pre and post-test for SE (p = 0.001). Pre versus post SE mean was 26.68 and 30.36 respectively. Additionally independent t-tests were assessed per gender. For females, no significance was observed for any variables (p = 0.059 – 0.729). For males, no differences were seen for FM or HGS (p = 0.161 – 0.687), however, there was a significant difference for SE (p = 0.004). Lastly, a Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to examine the relationships between FM, HGS and SE. Results from Pearson Correlation Coefficient test revealed no significant differences (p = 0.281 – 0.455) or effect sizes (-.116 - .100). Conclusion: The present findings suggest that structured physical activity, can have a positive outcome on high-school aged self-esteem values. While no significant differences were observed for body composition, or hand grip strength, it is possible that engaging in structured physical activity can increase adolescents’ self-esteem. Statistics suggest that males positive SE could be attributed to structured physical activity, however, more studies are needed to support this theory.

RELATIONSHIPS AMONG MEASURES OF STRENGTH AND POWER AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN YOUTH. (Under the direction of Dr. Matthew T. Mahar) Department of Kinesiology, August 2014. Abstract The interest in musculoskeletal fitness and its overall impact on health has been increasing in the last decade. The Institute of Medicine (2012) report called for the addition of several muscular fitness tests to national surveys of youth health-related physical fitness and to fitness test batteries in schools and other educational settings. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among various muscular fitness tests and health outcomes in youth. Methods: Participants included 49 boys and girls aged 9 to 14 years. A series of muscular fitness tests and tests of health outcomes were completed in two test sessions. Muscular fitness tests included the standing long jump, vertical jump, upper body power throw, total body power throw, and handgrip strength. Handgrip strength was expressed in absolute terms and allometrically scaled to a power of 0.67. The health outcomes examined were aerobic capacity, body composition, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and physical activity. Aerobic capacity (VO2max) was directly measured during a maximal treadmill test. Body composition (percent fat) was assessed with the BODPOD. Blood pressure was measured via auscultation after 5 minutes of seated rest. Physical activity was quantified as minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) from 7-day accelerometer measurement. Bivariate correlations were calculated to examine the relationships among fitness tests of strength and power and health outcomes. To control for the impact of body mass index (BMI) and age, partial correlations were calculated among fitness tests and health outcomes controlling for BMI z-score and age. To examine relationships among fitness tests and health outcomes from a criterion-referenced perspective, participants were categorized into both the aerobic capacity and body composition Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) and Needs Improvement Zone (NIZ) as defined by FitnessGram℗ʼ. Effect size (ES) estimates were calculated with Cohen's delta to examine the size of the difference between the HFZ and NIZ groups on the fitness test variables. Results: SBP and VO2max were moderately correlated with several fitness tests, including total body power throw (r = .37, -.28), upper body power throw (r = .33, -.31), and dominant (r = .44, -.33) and nondominant handgrip strength (r = .37, -.34). Percent fat was moderately correlated with the standing long jump (r = -.45) and vertical jump (r = -.50). The correlation between percent fat and handgrip strength was close to zero when handgrip strength was expressed in absolute terms. Moderate correlations were found between percent fat and handgrip strength when handgrip strength was allometrically scaled for body mass (r = -.50 and -.48). When partial correlations controlling for BMI z-score and age were calculated, generally a similar pattern of correlations was found, except that the partial correlations among SBP and the throwing tests and absolute handgrip strength were lower than the bivariate correlations. When the HFZ was defined with aerobic capacity standards, the HFZ group did better on the standing long jump than the NIZ group (ES = 0.45). However, medium effect sizes demonstrated that the NIZ group did better than the HFZ group on total body power throw (ES = -0.42), upper body power throw (ES = -0.59), and absolute handgrip strength (ES = -0.48, -0.39). Differences in the vertical jump and allometrically scaled handgrip strength favored the HFZ group over the NIZ group, but these differences were generally small (range of ES = 0.16 to .32). When the HFZ was defined with body composition standards, effect size estimates revealed large differences between the HFZ and NIZ groups favoring the HFZ group for standing long jump (ES = 0.84), vertical jump (ES = 1.06), and allometrically scaled handgrip strength (ES = 1.30, 1.42). Small to medium effect sizes were found for total body power throw (ES = 0.26), upper body power throw (ES = 0.19), and absolute handgrip strength (ES = 0.36, 0.43) favoring the HFZ group over the NIZ group. Conclusion: Results demonstrated moderate levels of norm-referenced and criterion-referenced evidence that the tests of musculoskeletal fitness used in the current study are health-related. However, findings also indicated that the significant relationships between these musculoskeletal fitness tests and health outcomes are highly influenced by body composition.

Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
