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.

Download or read book ACSM s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription written by American College of Sports Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recommended title for 2005 ACSM Certification Examinations! ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription began as a concise summary of recommendations for exercise testing and prescription primarily for cardiac patients; it has now become one of the single most internationally read and referenced texts of its kind. This reference is a virtual pharmacopoeia of exercise guidelines in a broad spectrum of patients. In this new edition there is heightened emphasis on preventing illness in apparently healthy persons and those "at risk", as well as treating patients with chronic disease. There are also two new chapters on methods for changing exercise behavior and legal issues.
Download or read book Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription written by Ann L. Gibson and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 829 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription, Ninth Edition With HKPropel Online Video, is the definitive resource for conducting physical fitness testing and customizing exercise programs. Now in its ninth edition, this comprehensive guide is fully updated with the latest research, the newest exercise testing and prescription guidelines, and the most up-to-date programming content. The text reflects the most recent exercise testing and prescription guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), along with physical activity recommendations from the U.S. government and American Heart Association. It highlights ACSM guidelines for physical activity and exercise testing requirements to consider before beginning exercise programs. Combining important research with practical application of testing and prescription protocols, the ninth edition also features the following: A new full-color interior to provide more detail and understanding of concepts through photos and figures New step-by-step assessment sidebars that make it easy to locate and refer to assessment procedures Modern guidelines for usage of current technology to test and monitor physical activity Demonstrations of many of the assessments and exercises, provided in 73 video clips Structured around the five physical fitness components—cardiorespiratory capacity, muscular fitness, body composition, flexibility, and balance—the text begins with an overview of physical activity, health, and chronic disease, including discussion of preliminary health screenings and risk classification. Readers will gain insight into field and laboratory assessments and testing protocols for each component, along with detailed information on properly administering the most common assessments. The 73 related video clips, delivered online through HKPropel, provide detailed instruction and demonstration for performing many of the assessments and exercises; these include functional movement assessment, pull-up and push-up testing, flywheel training, and more. Finally, readers will turn research into practice by understanding how to design personalized exercise prescription, customized for each client based on individual assessment outcomes. Information on appropriate training methods and programming considerations are presented for each component of fitness. With an unparalleled depth of coverage and clearly outlined approach, Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription bridges the gap between research and practice for students and exercise professionals alike who are eager to increase their knowledge and skill in assessing elements of fitness and designing individualized exercise programs.

Download or read book Anthropometrical and Physiological Observations on Obese and Non obese Young Men Undergoing a Program of Vigorous Physical Exercise written by Jerry A. Dempsey and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven young men, differing markedly in body fat content, were tested at the beginning and end of consecutive periods of: daily training (8 weeks), voluntary training (5 weeks), and daily training (5 weeks). Body composition was assessed by means of water immersion densitometry, skin- fold fat measures, and both gross and fat-corrected body dimensions. Basal oxygen consumption, muscular strength, and the Balke treadmill test of sub-maximal work capacity were also measured. Caloric consumption over the entire 18 weeks, and physical activity during the period of voluntary activity, were recorded daily. The following changes were observed, within the limitations of measurement, in subjects undergoing daily training. Weight losses in initially overweight men were composed of increase in fat-free body weight and muscular mass, and decreases in skinfold and total body fat. One very thin subject increased his gross body weight entirely through a gain of fat-free body weight and muscle mass, while body fat remained constant. These changes were not evidenced during the period of reduced activity. Total proportional strength increased and decreased with training and detraining respectively, and was not directly dependent upon body mass or body composition. Basal oxygen intake increased per unit of weight and decreased per unit of fat-free body weight. The former change was partially accounted for by an increase in muscle mass, while the latter was attributed, primarily, to a decrease in body fat. Treadmill performance time improved irrespective of initial values and improvements were retained over the period of decreased activity. In 36 relatively sedentary young men, five measures of body mass and body composition were found (multiple regression analysis) to account for 52.21 per cent of the total interpersonal variance in treadmill performance time. Relative obesity or per cent body fat accounted for the majority (23.87%) of the variance and was significantly related to performance time with the effect of gross body weight partially out (r = -.603). The relationships between these variables were somewhat reduced in subjects who had undergone a daily program of vigorous exercise. The present findings are in agreement with previous clinical and laboratory observations which have associated obesity with an accumulation of excess body fat as well as subnormal levels of cardio-vascular performance, muscular strength and basal metabolism. It was further evidenced that a progressive program of vigorous, physical exercise contributed to the therapy of obesity by: a) specifically or independently changing each of the above parameters, and b) rendering changes in certain aspects of body composition which in turn contributed to improvements in the selected physiological variables.
