This book was released on 1983 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study attempted to investigate whether a combined weight and endurance training program can elicit more favorable changes in body composition than either method of training alone. Body composition parameters (absolute fat and fat-free weight) were evaluated using circumference measurements, skinfolds and hydrostatic weighing. Cardiorespiratory fitness was evaluated via a modified Harvard step-test. All tests were administered before and after 10 weeks of training. Exercises were performed 3 days/week for 40 minutes/day. Male volunteers (n=21) were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups (weight training only, endurance running only, combined weight training and endurance running).

Book excerpt: [Author's abstract] Circuit weight training (CWT) has been a popular form of exercise for more than three decades (Beckham & Earnest, 2000). The possibility of enhancing muscular and cardiovascular fitness simultaneously has fueled the popularity of CWT (Hortobagyi et al., 1991). Major components of fitness often targeted through CWT include body composition, bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), VO2peak, and muscular strength (MS) and endurance (ME) (Wetmore et al., 1978). However, the optimal dimensions and combinations of CWT recommended for providing various health benefits remains to be carefully defined (Ashe & Khan, 2004). Little research has been done to directly assess the effects of CWT on overall fitness when looking at each of these components working together as one functioning unit. The purpose of this study was to assess body composition, VO2peak, BMD BMC, MS and ME changes in young adult females following an eight week CWT program. Twenty four young adult women aged 18 to 35 years of age volunteered to be randomly assigned into one of two groups: circuit weight training group (CTG) (n=12), or control group (CN) (n=12). The CTG group exercised 3 days per week for 20 minutes per day. CTG completed a 5 minute warm up on the treadmill followed by a 10 station CWT routine consisting of 1 set for as many repetitions possible in 30 seconds at each station. Weight was initially set at 60% of 1 repetition maximum and increased 21/z lb. every two weeks. CN was asked to remain inactive throughout the eight week study. CTG and CN were asked to maintain their usual dietary patterns throughout the eight week study and completed a 3 day dietary log during week one and week eight to verify compliance. A 2 (Group) x 2 (Time) Repeated Measures ANOVA was the principal mode of data analysis. CTG was significantly different (p

This book was released on 1984 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the weight training responses of college males and females on the development of muscular strength, body weight, body composition, muscular hypertrophy, and cardiovascular fitness. A total of 60 males and 60 females volunteered to participate in this study. They were enrolled in coed beginning weight training classes at the Oregon State University, which met for a period of 11 weeks with two 60-minute sessions per week. The training format for both sexes was essentially identical. The training method used involved low repetition-high resistance alternating with high repetition-low resistance. Assessments of strength, body composition, circumferences and cardiovascular fitness were made at the beginning and at the conclusion of the study period. The two-tailed t̲ test for paired comparisons and one-way analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that both males and females gained strength but the males gained significantly more than females. The males experienced a significant weight gain, with a significant amount of fat exchanged for an increase in lean body mass, while the females experienced practically no weight change. Though female subjects gained significantly in strength, their waist circumference decreased significantly and the girth size of other muscle groups did not change. The girth size of only the calf muscle increased for the male subjects. Both groups demonstrated nearly the same improvement on cardiovascular fitness.

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.
