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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To determine if acute bouts of exercise in hot temperatures lead to functional improvement of aerobic capacity and body composition. Methods: Twelve (n=12) healthy female adults, age 23.4 ± 4.5, height 166.8 ± 6.6cm, weight 73.7 ± 10.7kg, completed 14 days of cycling at a self-selected RPE of "15" for 60 minutes over the course of three weeks. Participants also completed two underwater weigh trials on separate visits, as well as two graded exercise tests, both pre- and post-training. Results: There was no significant effect between hot and room temperature on body fat ( p = 0.857), fat free mass (p = 0.597), fat mass (p = 0.810), VO2 Max (p = 0.804), power output (p = 0.875), and RPE (p = 0.557). There was no effect from pre-trial to post trial on body fat (p = 0.976), fat free mass (p = 0.599), fat mass (p = 0.829) and RPE (p = 0.399). However, there was an increase in VO2 Max from pre- to post-training on trial (p = 0.046) and power output (p = 0.003). No interaction between time and trial was present in body fat (p = 0.908), and RPE (p = 0.428). Conclusion: These results suggest temperature alone has no effect on body composition and aerobic capacity during acute bouts of exercise.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare adaptations in body composition and aerobic capacity using two different training techniques in recreationally active people. A Kruskal-Wallis one way ANOVA was used to determine if any of the variable in this study had any significant relationship to past research. The statistical analysis showed that none of the variables were significantly different than the variables in previous research. Based on the findings and comparisons to past research, two weeks of SIT compared to two weeks CE will not produce significant differences in aerobic fitness or body composition.
