Download or read book Educating the Student Body written by Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment and published by National Academies Press. 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.

Book Acute Physiological Responses to Arm cranking with Blood Flow Restriction

Download or read book Acute Physiological Responses to Arm cranking with Blood Flow Restriction written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Physiological responses to aerobic blood flow restriction exercise (BFR) are well documented for lower-body exercise but not upper-body exercise. I evaluated cardiorespiratory (heart rate, VO2, RER, ventilation), metabolic (tissue saturation, deoxyhemoglobin concentrations), and perceptual (effort, pain) responses to arm cranking with BFR at varying arterial occlusion pressures (AOP). Ten adults performed 4 intermittent arm cranking protocols (6x2-min, 1-min recovery): 1) low load (LL) - 40%VO2peak and 0% AOP; high load (HL) - 80%VO2peak and 0% AOP; (BFR50) - 40%VO2peak with 50% AOP; (BFR70) - 40%VO2peak with 70% AOP. Heart rate, RER, and ventilation, were higher with BFR compared to LL (P

Book Contextualizing the Acute Responses to Arm Cycling

Download or read book Contextualizing the Acute Responses to Arm Cycling written by Nicolas Clark and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prescription of aerobic exercise modalities engaging the arm musculature have the potential to extend the reach of physical activity and promote cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with lower body impairment due to excessive body mass, and among individuals seeking to complement and diversify standard leg training. This study compared the acute cardiopulmonary responses obtained during arm cycling and leg cycling performed at different intensities among lean and average (LA) and overfat and obese individuals (OFO). Participants were 37 young and relatively healthy adults. They were tested for mode-specific peak power output and work rate at ventilatory threshold during two randomized maximal incremental protocol tests. The experiments were four randomized constant work rate isocaloric protocols for arm cycling and leg cycling performed at heavy and moderate exercise intensities based on participants' ventilatory threshold and peak power output obtained from the maximal incremental protocol tests. All experiments were matched for the same caloric expenditure of 100 kcal. Cardiopulmonary parameters and the time to expend 100 kcal (Tkcal100) were recorded. Tkcal100 was increased for the OFO in comparison to the LA group. Among the cardiopulmonary parameters measured in this study, only oxygen uptake relative to body mass was significantly different between groups; however, differences were no longer evident when oxygen uptake values were considered relative to fat-free mass. Furthermore, cardiopulmonary variables are more affected by exercise intensity than exercise mode, while responses to different intensities are not necessarily proportional. Young adults with excess body fat appear to respond less favorably to acute exercise when compared to lean and average body composition individuals, as evidenced by a longer Tkcal100.
