Download or read book In Morbidly Obese Women with Pulmonary Dysfunction Does Reduction of Weight Through Exercise Increase Cardiopulmonary Function More Than Reduction in Weight by Diet Alone written by Kathryn Fitzgerald and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Background: The purpose of this project was to review the best evidence to determine an intervention to treat cardiopulmonary compromise in obese women. The research question inquired if weight loss through diet compared to weight loss through exercise would provide a greater effect on the cardiopulmonary function in obese women. Method: A thorough review of literature was conducted. Titles and abstracts were compared to an inclusion and exclusion criteria that were developed based on the research question and specific elements of the patient case. Included articles were evaluated and appraised and the results were integrated to formulate a clinical decision. Results: Seven articles were used to address the patient case. Five of the 7 articles concluded that only subjects who performed aerobic exercise as part of their weight loss program had an increase in cardiopulmonary function as measured by maximal oxygen consumption. Discussion/Conclusion: Upon review of the literature, aerobic exercise alone can have a significant improvement in maximal oxygen consumption in obese females when done for at least 8 weeks, 3-5 days a week, in 25-40 minute intervals. Additional diet protocols developed by a certified nutritionist may aid in a change in body mass, but has no significant effects on the cardiorespiratory fitness. Exercise has little impact on the amount of weight lost during a weight loss program. However, it does significantly increase the physiological benefits of weight loss and the cardiorespiratory health of patients. The main limitation of this review was that these findings were found in obese women without any significant comorbidities.

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.
