This book was released on 2000 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a chair exercise program (Sit And Be Fit[trademark]) for older adults by assessing functional health-related components of fitness. Subjects volunteered to be in either an exercise (n = 16) or control group (n = 6) and consisted of women with a mean age of 81.50 ± 7.29 years for the exercise group and 83.66 ± 5.16 years for the control group. All subjects had medical clearance and signed informed consents prior to being tested. Members of the exercise group participated in a thirty-minute, thrice-weekly chair exercise program (Sit And Be Fit[trademark]) for seven-weeks, while the control group maintained their normal everyday activities. Pre- and post- assessments of upper and lower body strength, aerobic endurance, upper and lower body flexibility, and speed, agility and balance were measured using the Fullerton Functional Fitness Test Battery (Rikli & Jones, 1999) within one week of starting and finishing the classes. Small, nonsignificant improvements were observed in the treatment group in the measures of strength and agility and balance. Both flexibility measures showed a slight decline though remained within the normal range for the age group. Virtually no change was seen in aerobic endurance. Statistically, nonsignificant decreases in functional fitness measures were observed in the control group for all tests, except the 2-minute step-in- place test measuring aerobic endurance. A program of higher-intensity or longer-duration may be needed to see statistically significant results in levels of functional fitness in older adults, although it appears that Sit And Be Fit[trademark] is a safe and moderately effective exercise program"--Document.

Download or read book 168 Hours written by Laura Vanderkam and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices- taking time out from other things in order to fit it all in. There has to be a better way...and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there's time for the important stuff. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. Vanderkam shows that with a little examination and prioritizing, you'll find it is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter.
