This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.

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.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Introduction: One out of four Americans has Hypertension (HTN). Furthermore, HTN is more prevalent in African American women than any segment of the population. Research has shown that blood pressure as low as 115/75 has a positive relationship with an increase risk of cardiovascular disease and doubles the risk with every rise of 20/10 mmHg. Thus, health associations have determined a new category of blood pressure called prehypertension. Aerobic exercise training decreases blood pressure significantly. There are few studies on African American women and how exercise affects blood pressure. The exercise related variables that are of interest include cardiac output (CO), heart rate (HR), total peripheral resistance (TPR), stroke volume (SV), peak volume of oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and blood pressure. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine if the changes of the cardiovascular variables that may occur during a ten-week exercise training program can predict a decrease of blood pressure in prehypertensive African American women. Methods: A total of 12 sedentary women that met the inclusionary criteria were taken through three pre-training visits. These visits include orientation, pre-VO2peak test, and pre-CO2 rebreathing test. Orientations consisted of paperwork explaining confidentiality through HIPPA regulation and inform consent. The VO2peak test was performed on a cycle ergometer using a 2 minute protocol while monitoring with a standard 12-lead ECG system. The third visit consisted of a standard procedure of indirect non-invasive CO2 rebreathing test to determine CO, SV, and TPR. The CO2 rebreathing test was performed on a cycle ergometer while monitoring with the ECG system. Following testing subjects (n=12) trained for ten weeks three times a week thirty minutes a session at 70% of their VO2peak with increases of intensity every 2 1/2 weeks. Once training was completed, the subjects repeated the VO2peak test and CO2 rebreathing test to obtain post values. Results: Using the SPSS statistical analysis software and a paired sample t-test, I observed that there were not any significant changes from pre-and post-training for HR, SBP, DBP, and MAP. However, there were significant changes (p

Download or read book C REACTIVE PROTEIN AND EXERCISE INTENSITY IN AFRICAN AMERICANS written by Anna Huff and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial health disparities have been shown in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) with African Americans having a substantially greater risk compared to Caucasian Americans. One potential factor explaining racial differences in CVD may be increased levels of systemic inflammation in African Americans compared to Caucasians. Epidemiological studies have shown that CRP (a marker of systemic inflammation) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality6,7, and is higher in African Americans compared to Caucasians. In addition to the elevated CRP levels, African Americans have increased levels of obesity and lower cardiorespiratory fitness compared to Caucasians. Although results have been inconsistent in studies related to exercise interventions to improve CRP levels, many studies have had primarily Caucasian participants and/or have used different intensities of aerobic training. PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of moderate and high intensity aerobic exercise training on CRP in obese African-American men and women. METHODS: The present study was a randomized-controlled trial of 60 obese and overweight African American men and women (body mass index of 25-45 kg/m2), 35-65 years. Participants were randomized to the moderate intensity (MOD-INT; n = 20), high intensity (HIGH-INT; n = 20), or non-exercise control group (n = 20) for a 24-week intervention. The moderate intensity group participated in aerobic exercise at 50% of their VO2 max, and the high intensity group participated in aerobic exercise at 75% of their VO2 max. Participants completed a 12-hour fasted blood draw at the East Carolina Heart Institute. A venous blood sample of a total of 21 mL of blood was drawn by the study nurse pre and post exercise intervention. Blood samples were sent to a clinical laboratory (LabCorp Inc., Burlington, NC) for a complete analysis of metabolic, lipid, insulin level measures, CRP, and blood chemistries. The serum separator tube was sent to LabCorp for measurement of C-reactive protein. RESULTS: There were 11 participants in the control group, 10 participants in the moderate intensity exercise group, and 13 in the high intensity exercise group. There were no significant differences between the randomization groups for age, gender, weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage, glucose, insulin, and CRP (p> 0.05). We did not observe significant change in CRP levels among study groups in the MOD or the HIT group compared to the CON in obese African-American adults (p=1.00). The association between exercisers and change in CRP and fat-mass approached a significant change (r=-0.379, p=0.07). The HIGH-INT group had a larger increase in VO2 max (ml·kg·min; L/min) (p[less-than]0.05) compared to the CON group. Also, there was a significant relationship between the CON group and MOD intensity group in estimated METs (p[less-than]0.01). Data for changes in clinical risk factors between participants based on change in CRP are shown in Table 2. There were no significant changes found in CRP for any clinical risk factors between non-responders and responders (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we observed that neither moderate or high intensity aerobic decreased systemic inflammation levels in obese African Americans. Secondly, CRP was not improved with a change in fat-mass in exercisers. Future research could allow for the analysis of both Caucasian and African Americans, allowing for a more direct comparison between the two races for the intervention variables measured. Also, it could entail an interval training aerobic group, as well as a resistance training exercise group to elucidate further comparisons in intervention variables. Lastly, future studies may want to combine dietary and exercise to potentially lower CRP to a greater extent than exercise alone.
