Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

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 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND lifestyle interventions consisting of physical activity and/or diet are known to be essential for weight loss. Its implementation in the daily life of people with overweight or obesity is hindered by multiple barriers. To obtain successful behavioural change, it is recommended to take psychological factors and adherence to treatment programs into account when prescribing weight management programs. AIM this randomized controlled trial investigates the changes in psychological factors such as self-efficacy and adherence during a 6-month intervention program, consisting of dietary instructions and/or exercise. METHOD women with a BMI =27 kg/m2 are randomized in a diet or combination group, consisting of both diet and exercise. All participants receive a personal interview, based on the principles of motivational interviewing (MI), and by means of a questionnaire (S-weight) that determines the stages of change, the kind of motivation at baseline is reflected. Self-reported (general and exercise) self-efficacy and habitual physical activity are measured by questionnaires (General Self-Efficacy Scale, Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale and Baecke) at baseline, after 3 and 6 months intervention, as well as adherence by a numeric scale. Anthropometrical measurements such as body weight (kg), BMI (kg/m2), fat mass (%) and fat free mass (kg) are also investigated. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out including women with higher levels of adherence, whereby the same above mentioned was also analyzed. RESULTS in 54 women, changes in adherence, self-reported self-efficacy, physical activity, body weight and composition were assessed after 3 and 6 months intervention. No statistically significant differences were found between the diet and combination group for changes in adherence, anthropometrical and psychological outcomes after 3 and 6 months intervention (p > 0,05). However, significant changes were seen within each group after 6 months. In the diet group, there was a reduction in body weight of >5% (p \

This book was released on 2002 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of obesity in the United States had increased, with approximately one-third of American men and women considered obese (Kuczmarski, et al. 1994). Overweight and obese adults exhibited increased risk for morbidity and mortality associated with many acute and chronic medical conditions, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, gallbladder disease, respiratory disease, some types of cancer and gout (Pi-Sunyer, 1993). One of the most important and established determinants of health behavior was found to be self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships and that exisbetween weight management efforts and self-efficacy of exercise in the employees of Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems, a Johnson & Johnson Company. A total of 240 employees of Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems were invited to participate. The response rate was 60%, although one survey was not evaluated because they answered that they were not physically able to exercise. Results were based on 143 participants, both male (n=23) and female (n=120). Based on the results, null hypothesis 1 was rejected. The assessment self-efficacy results were significantly related to stage of change, r = .0055 (p> .0166), expectation self-efficacy results were not significantly related to stage of change, r = .035 (p

This book was released on 2017 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Obesity may be defined as a state in which an individual has accrued an excess amount of body fat that may be dangerous for one's overall health (CDC, 2015; Flegel, Carroll, & Ogden, 2012). One treatment option for obesity is bariatric surgery, which has been found to be effective when a large amount of weight loss is necessary (ASMBS, 2015). Physical activity participation has also been found to be a viable adjunctive treatment for weight management, decreasing disease risk, and improving overall quality of life for those who undergo bariatric surgery (Coen & Goodpaster, 2016; Hunt & Gross, 2009; Steele, Cuthbertson, & Wilding, 2015). Current research has demonstrated the use of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) intervention in conjunction with exercise to increase self-efficacy while promoting exercise adherence and behavior change (Annesi & Gorjala, 2010b). However, there is a gap in literature on physical activity combined with behavioral intervention as a means of weight loss and lifestyle change for these individuals. The Bariatric Exercise Lifestyle Transformation (BELT) program is designed to help overweight and obese individuals adopt a physically active lifestyle by learning to exercise safely and effectively. Little research has been conducted regarding the use of psychological skills to increase positive self-perceptions, self-efficacy for exercise and the transition from the 16-week BELT program to lifestyle physical activity. Therefore, the Following a Lifestyle of Wellness (FLOW) program has been developed as the behavioral component of the BELT program and includes 16-weeks of psychological skills education and practice. FLOW is based on SCT (Bandura, 2004), and includes psychological and behavioral strategies designed to increase self-efficacy and the motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle, as well as identifying the means to overcome potential barriers and avoid relapse. This study examined the effectiveness of the FLOW intervention aimed at increasing self-efficacy and positive self-perceptions while encouraging physical activity maintenance in a bariatric population, and explored the practicality of implementing the FLOW intervention into the existing BELT program. As part of a feasibility study, 11 participants (10 females and 1 male) completed the FLOW program. A variety of data sources were used to assess the effectiveness of the program including self-report questionnaires, intervention evaluations, and semi-structured interviews. Results indicated participants enjoyed the program and felt an increased sense of confidence and readiness to continue with a physically active lifestyle upon program graduation. Interviews indicated that individuals believed the FLOW program was effective for increasing positive self-perceptions, learning psychological skills necessary for behavior change, and improving motivation to exercise. The most effective psychological skills sessions were found to be goal setting, future preparation and planning, and stress management. Participants noted the support and accountability from the program facilitator enhanced their experience, and suggestions for improvement were also provided. This information can be used to improve the FLOW program moving forward. The findings of this study will not only benefit the existing BELT program, but serve as foundational for the development of similar programs in other bariatric and clinical settings."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, the U.S. federal government issued fully approved physical activity guidelines for the first time. The idea that physical activity impacts health can be traced as far back as Hippocrates, and the science around the linkages between physical activity and health has continuously accumulated. On April 14-15, 2015, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Obesity Solutions held a 2-day workshop to explore the state of the science regarding the impact of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity and to highlight innovative strategies for promoting physical activity across different segments of the population. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from this workshop.

Download or read book Physical Activity Weight Change and Self perception Changes Among Obese Individuals written by Helen Teakle and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this research was to investigate relationships between physical activity participation, weight change, and selfreports of social physique anxiety, physical self-concept and health-related quality of life. A secondary purpose was to investigate personality as a mediator of self-perceptions and quality of life beliefs following obesity surgery. Two studies with differing methodologies were conducted. The first study was a cross-sectional survey of patients who had participated in a multi-component clinical weight-loss program involving a combination of physical activity, diet modification, and drug therapy. The second study was a longitudinal investigation of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding patients. Amount of weight lost was not found to be related to changes in social physique anxiety, physical self-concept or health-related quality of life. However, physical activity levels were found to be an important predictor of improvements in physical self-concept and health-related quality of life amongst clinical weight loss patients, but not surgical patients. Improvements over time with respect to social physique anxiety, physical self-concept and health-related quality of life were observed amongst all participants who underwent LABG. Personality factors, whilst not predicting changes over time in social physique anxiety, physical self-concept or health-related quality of life, discriminated between two types of obese adults presenting for obesity surgery. Future research could be undertaken to determine if long-term outcomes differ for these two types of patients.

This book was released on 1995-03-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly one out of every three adults in America is obese and tens of millions of people in the United States are dieting at any one time. This has resulted in a weight-loss industry worth billions of dollars a year and growing. What are the long-term results of weight-loss programs? How can people sort through the many programs available and select one that is right for them? Weighing the Options strives to answer these questions. Despite widespread public concern about weight, few studies have examined the long-term results of weight-loss programs. One reason that evaluating obesity management is difficult is that no other treatment depends so much on an individual's own initiative and state of mind. Now, a distinguished group of experts assembled by the Institute of Medicine addresses this compelling issue. Weighing the Options presents criteria for evaluating treatment programs for obesity and explores what these criteria mean--to health care providers, program designers, researchers, and even overweight people seeking help. In presenting its criteria the authors offer a wealth of information about weight loss: how obesity is on the rise, what types of weight-loss programs are available, how to define obesity, how well we maintain weight loss, and what approaches and practices appear to be most successful. Information about weight-loss programs--their clients, staff qualifications, services, and success rates--necessary to make wise program choices is discussed in detail. The book examines how client demographics and characteristics--including health status, knowledge of weight-loss issues, and attitude toward weight and body image--affect which programs clients choose, how successful they are likely to be with their choices, and what this means for outcome measurement. Short- and long-term safety consequences of weight loss are discussed as well as clinical assessment of individual patients. The authors document the health risks of being overweight, summarizing data indicating that even a small weight loss reduces the risk of disease and depression and increases self-esteem. At the same time, weight loss has been associated with some poor outcomes, and the book discusses the implications for program evaluation. Prevention can be even more important than treatment. In Weighing the Options, programs for population groups, efforts targeted to specific groups at high risk for obesity, and prevention of further weight gain in obese individuals get special attention. This book provides detailed guidance on how the weight-loss industry can improve its programs to help people be more successful at long-term weight loss. And it provides consumers with tips on selecting a program that will improve their chances of permanently losing excess weight.
