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

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 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Exercise training has consistently been shown, in the research literature, to be an effective non-pharmacological alternative to treat hypertension (HTN). However, the underlying mechanism that accounts for the reductive and preventive effects, induced by exercise have not been clearly established. To our knowledge, no study has examined the effect of an aerobic exercise-training program on prehypertension (resting blood pressure between 120/80 - 139/89 mm Hg) and the underlying variables that may exacerbate the disease's development in apparently healthy African American women. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a 10-week aerobic exercise-training regimen on total peripheral resistance (TPR), heart rate variability (HRV), and prehypertensive blood pressure status in apparently healthy African American women. Twenty-three prehypertensive African American women served as study participants. Each participant was required to meet all inclusionary criteria which included: being an African American woman between the ages of 30-45 years, a sedentary lifestyle, non-smoking status, body mass index between 25-35 (kg·m[superscript -2]), and a prehypertensive blood pressure status. A VO[subscript 2 peak] and submaximal exercise test were conducted on the cycle ergometer. HRV was assessed using power spectral analys is of beat-to-beat measurements in various frequency domains. Results revealed a significant reduction in TPR in the trained group from pre to post intervention periods (pre 35.3 [plus/minus] 5.1 mm Hg · L · min[superscript -1] vs. post 26.9 [plus/minus] 4.3 mm Hg · L · min [superscript -1]) (p
Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinicians use risk calculators in primary prevention to estimate CVD mortality. A potential limitation of available risk calculators are they generally estimate risk based on traditional risk factors, which is problematic since cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)/physical activity are independent predictors of CVD. To address the limitations, Wickeramasinghe et al. developed a calculator to assess 30-year CVD risk that includes CRF as a variable, along with traditional risk factors, but few studies have evaluated the impact of aerobic training on this risk score. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise training on 30-year CVD risk. METHODS: The study included adults with elevated CRP levels who were randomized to an aerobic exercise group or a control group. Baseline and follow-up data (age, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, body mass index, fitness level, and smoking status) were entered into the Wickeramasinghe et al. [1] calculator to calculate 30-year CVD mortality risk. The aerobic exercise intervention lasted 4 months and individuals expended approximately 16 kcal/kg per week (KKW). The control group was asked to maintain their sedentary status over the course of the intervention. RESULTS: A significant reduction in 30- year CVD risk mortality was observed between the exercise and the control group following the intervention (-0.5[CI: -1.3,0.4] versus -2.0[CI: -2.9, -1.1]. There was a significant increase in METs following the aerobic exercise intervention (p

This book was released on 2002 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The current research investigation was designed to examine the effect of aerobic exercise training on cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Subjects (N = 8) completed 8 weeks of aerobic style exercise 3 times a week at an intensity of 60 to 85% maximum heart rate. Each subject was assessed for endothelial function, peak oxygen consumption, glucose tolerance, body composition, and serum lipids. Subjects were tested prior to and 48 to 72 hours following the completion of the exercise intervention. Endothelial function improved 60% in subjects (p> .05) following the exercise intervention independent of improvements in glucose tolerance, oxygen consumption, lipids, and body mass index. Possible reasons for the lack of differences may include small subject number and the nature of the disease pathology. In conclusion, exercise training has been found to have positive but not significant effects on endothelial function, metabolic state and body composition in adolescents with T2DM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first primer on the effects of exercise on human hypertension, Effects of Exercise on Hypertension: From Cells to Physiological Systems provides the state-of-the-art effects of exercise on the many possible mechanisms underlying essential hypertension in humans. The book contains chapters by distinguished experts on the effects of exercise on physiological systems known to be involved in hypertension development and maintenance as well as less well known aspects of hypertension such as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure profile and oxidative stress. An emerging area, the effects of resistance exercise training on blood pressure is also covered. A unique aspect of the book is that it covers the effects of exercise mimetics on vascular cell adaptations in order to begin to elucidate some of the cellular mechanisms that may underlie blood pressure reductions with exercise training. Lastly, the book will end with a chapter on the interactive effects of genes and exercise on blood pressure. Chapters are grouped by physiological system or mechanism. The text begins with two overview chapters; one on the general effects of aerobic exercise training and the second on the general effects of resistance exercise training on blood pressure. Each chapter begins with a bulleted list of key points. Effects of Exercise on Hypertension: From Cells to Physiological Systems will be of great value to professional individuals in cardiovascular medicine, the cardiovascular sciences, allied health care professionals, and medical and graduate students in the cardiovascular sciences and medicine.
