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 2018 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well-known that high levels of physical activity (PA) are important for successful long-term weight loss, which is reflected in current PA guidelines for weight management (≥300 minutes/week of moderate-intensity PA). However, these guidelines were based largely on self-reported PA, which is often over-reported. Thus, current PA guidelines may overestimate amount of activity required. Further, adoption and maintenance of high levels of PA remains a difficult undertaking for most individuals with overweight and obesity. This study has three major aims: 1) examine the association between objectively measured PA and long-term weight loss within a behavioral weight loss program, 2) identify baseline motivational profiles and examine the association between profile membership and objectively measured PA adoption and maintenance, utilizing Self-Determination Theory (SDT), and 3) identify post-supervised exercise motivational profiles and examine the association between profile membership and PA at 18 months, utilizing SDT. This study utilized objectively measured weight and PA data, as well as SDT constructs from an 18-month behavioral weight loss trial, which included a prescription of 300 minutes/week of moderate-intensity exercise during 6 months of supervised exercise, followed by 6 months of unsupervised exercise. Our primary findings are: 1) ~300 minutes/week of moderate-intensity equivalent PA accumulated in bouts ≥10 minutes is the optimal PA duration for successful long-term weight loss (≥10%) at 18 months, 2) motivation for exercise/treatment from multiple sources (intrinsic and extrinsic) at baseline may help individuals achieve the optimal duration of PA for weight management (~300 minutes/week), and 3) after exposure to a 6-month supervised exercise program, greater self-determined motivation (i.e. valuing benefits of exercise/treatment, and enjoying exercise) was beneficial for sustaining the optimal PA duration for weight management (~300 minutes/week) at 18 months. Results will help inform recommendations for PA guidelines and policy, design of future PA interventions, and future research studies, with the primary goal to improve lifestyle interventions for prevention and treatment of obesity and consequent chronic diseases. Such efforts have potential to result in fundamental advancement in long-term outcomes of adults with overweight/obesity attempting weight loss, and long-term adherence in PA interventions, ultimately improving the health and well-being of Americans.

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 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.

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 2021 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this correlational research is to understand the relationships among the variables of exercise self-efficacy, stages of exercise change, health promotion behaviors, body mass index (BMI), health problems, and the level of physical activity in postmenopausal Hispanic women. The significance of this study is to contribute research that enhances the understanding of the relationship of psychosocial and health promotion correlates and physical activity in postmenopausal Hispanic women. On a national level, this is important because Hispanic women make up one of the fastest growing minority populations and they experience the second highest level of obesity. This research is essential for knowledge on which to base interventions for health promotion and the prevention of debilitating health challenges caused by obesity. The theoretical significance of this research is the application of the Transtheoretical Model on stages of exercise change and testing the complementing constructs of Pender's Health Promotion model, including self-efficacy and health promoting behaviors. A descriptive correlational design was used to examine the relationship among the variables. A sample of 121 participants was surveyed from clinical and community settings located in Southern California. A multivariate analysis was computed to explore the relative contribution of modifiable psychosocial correlates of exercise self-efficacy, stages of exercise change, health promotion behaviors, health problems and BMI with the level of physical activity. The study population had a mean age of 57 years, was primarily born in Mexico (47.3%), obese (36.9%), and reported between one and six health problems. The findings from this research demonstrated statistically significant correlations between exercise self-efficacy, stages of exercise change, health promotion behaviors, and level of physical activity. Further, there was a significant inverse correlation of the study variables with health problems and BMI. The findings from this research will develop knowledge useful for the future strategic development of physical activity interventions and programs to facilitate healthy lifestyles with the inclusion of physical activity that are specific to postmenopausal Hispanic women.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Obesity has taken a front row seat as one of the major health concerns in the United States. The literature shows that genetics, socio-economics, and advancement in technology are factors that contribute to what has become an epidemic in the country. If left treated or controlled, obesity can lead to other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressures. Obese American adults, who have developed comorbidities, look to different therapies such as weight loss programs as a solution to improve their quality of life. The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of an adult weight loss program in lowering medications and increasing physical activities. Data from a restrospective cohort of 440 adults who participated throughout eighteen sessions of a weight loss program were collected from a community hospital in Southern California. It was hypothesized that the medication intake for health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure decrease as a result of the weight loss program. It was also hypothesized that physical activities increase as another result of the weight loss program. It was noted that the second association was supported, but not the first.
Download or read book Impact of Structured Exercise on Daily Physical Activity in Overweight and Obese Adults written by Amanda Leigh Smith and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structured exercise is a common intervention for overweight and obese adults but is generally not effective for weight loss due to compensatory changes in behavior as a result of participation in an exercise program. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of participating in structured exercise on daily and weekly physical activity, changes in body composition and aerobic fitness. A total of 10 overweight/obese women participated in an employee wellness weight loss program two times per week for eight weeks. At baseline and last week of the program all participants underwent measurements for physical activity, body mass index (BMI), body fat, circumferences, and VO2max. There were no significant changes in BMI, body composition and VO2max following this 8-week program. It is possible that this is due to either a decrease in spontaneous daily physical activity or increased caloric intake as a result of participation in this program.
