Download or read book The relationships among physical activity physical fitness stress and coronary artery disease CAD risk factors written by Deborah Sue Rohm Young and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity and psychosocial stress have both been identified as risk factors for CAD. Regular physical activity (resulting in a state of physical fitness) positively impacts several CAD risk factors and also may decreas stress. It is unknown, however, if regular physical activity can reduce the deleterious effects of stress on CAD risk factors. This investigation examined physical activity, physical fitness, stress, and CAD risk factors in a population with a stressful work environment. The variables were assessed on 412 male and 47 female police officers from the City of Austin. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol were collected through screenings. Smoking habits, physical activity level, type A behavior score, perceived general stress, perceived job stress, and job strain (e.g., decision latitude and psychological demands) were assessed from self-report. Percent body fat and maximal time on the treadmill (physical fitness measure) were collected from existing data. Physical fitness level was negatively related to percent fat, number of cigarettes smoked/day, and diastolic blood pressure. Higher physical fitness levels were associated with higher HDL cholesterol and type A score. No significant relationship was found regarding physical activity for CAD risk factors. Type A score was higher with higher general stress and job stress levels. General stress was also positively related to number of cigarettes smoked/day and diastolic blood pressure. Decision latitude and psychological demands were not related to any CAD risk factors. Stress scores were not different across physical activity or physical fitness levels. There were interactions noted between the independent variables job stress, composite stress, physical activity, physical fitness, and some risk factors. HDL cholesterol remained enhanced in the high active and fit levels at high stress. Smoking habits were lower with higher stress in the high active and fit, but higher at lower activity and fitness levels with higher stress levels. These findings suggest that physical fitness, general stress, and job stress are associated with several CAD risk factors. Physical activity/ physical fitness may mediate the deleterious effects of stress for some risk factors.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular biomarkers in physically active prediabetic participants who completed 12 months of the DPP. The obesity paradox was also studied, which suggests that obese and overweight individuals may have a protective survival benefit when compared to normal weight individuals. Subjects (N=20) ranged from 50-83 years of age and were participating in a structured exercise program at least 2-3 days/week. Cardiovascular risk factors including BMI, HbA1C, weight, WC, SBP, DBP, cfPWV, MVC, GS, and OLBT were examined at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The CDC-approved curriculum included education of healthy eating habits and the importance of achieving a minimum of 150 minutes of weekly physical activity. Significant improvements were observed in BMI, weight, and WC from pre-to-post. Criteria for classification of the obesity paradox was also studied to determine if the paradox was present in our sample. The obese group experienced greater improvements in WC, SBP, DBP, cfPWV, and GS when compared to overweight or normal weight individuals, but the results explaining the obesity paradox were inconclusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[F]or those who are entering the field or who want to broaden their perspective, Ibelieve that this Handbook is indispensible. More than just a contribution to the field, theHandbook may well become a classic."--PsycCRITIQUES "The editors fully achieved their goal of producing a state-of-the-science stress reference for use by investigators, educators, and practitioners with clinical and health interests."--Psycho-Oncology "This is an important book about the scientific study of stress and human adaptation. It brings together both empirical data and theoretical developments that address the fundamental question of how psychosocial variables get inside the body to influence neurobiological processes that culminate in physical disease." From the Foreword by David C. Glass, PhD Emeritus Professor of Psychology Stony Brook University Edited by two leading health psychologists, The Handbook of Stress Science presents a detailed overview of key topics in stress and health psychology. With discussions on how stress influences physical health-including its effects on the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and immune systems-the text is a valuable source for health psychologists, as well as researchers in behavioral medicine, neuroscience, genetics, clinical and social psychology, sociology, and public health. This state-of-the-art resource reviews conceptual developments, empirical findings, clinical applications, and investigative strategies and tools from the past few decades of stress research. It represents all major approaches to defining stress and describes the themes and developments that characterize the field of health-related stress research. The five sections of this handbook cover: Current knowledge regarding the major biological structures and systems that are involved in the stress response Social-contextual contributions to stress and to processes of adaptation to stress, including the workplace, socioeconomic status, and social support The concept of cognitive appraisal as it relates to stress and emotion psychological factors influencing stress such as, personality, gender, and adult development The evidence linking stress to health-related behaviors and mental and physical health outcomes Research methods, tools, and strategies, including the principles and techniques of both laboratory experimentation and naturalistic stress research
Download or read book Physical Activity and Cancer written by Kerry S. Courneya and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-26 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores in depth the relation between physical activity and cancer control, including primary prevention, coping with treatments, recovery after treatments, long-term survivorship, secondary prevention, and survival. The first part of the book presents the most recent research on the impact of physical activity in preventing a range of cancers. In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed. The effects of physical activity on supportive care endpoints (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning) and disease endpoints (e.g., biomarkers, recurrence, survival) are carefully analyzed. In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.
