Book Effects of Exercise on Hypertension

Download or read book Effects of Exercise on Hypertension written by Linda S. Pescatello and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first primer on the effects of exercise on human hypertension, Effects of Exercise on Hypertension: From Cells to Physiological Systems provides the state-of-the-art effects of exercise on the many possible mechanisms underlying essential hypertension in humans. The book contains chapters by distinguished experts on the effects of exercise on physiological systems known to be involved in hypertension development and maintenance as well as less well known aspects of hypertension such as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure profile and oxidative stress. An emerging area, the effects of resistance exercise training on blood pressure is also covered. A unique aspect of the book is that it covers the effects of exercise mimetics on vascular cell adaptations in order to begin to elucidate some of the cellular mechanisms that may underlie blood pressure reductions with exercise training. Lastly, the book will end with a chapter on the interactive effects of genes and exercise on blood pressure. Chapters are grouped by physiological system or mechanism. The text begins with two overview chapters; one on the general effects of aerobic exercise training and the second on the general effects of resistance exercise training on blood pressure. Each chapter begins with a bulleted list of key points. Effects of Exercise on Hypertension: From Cells to Physiological Systems will be of great value to professional individuals in cardiovascular medicine, the cardiovascular sciences, allied health care professionals, and medical and graduate students in the cardiovascular sciences and medicine.

Book Post Exercise Recovery  Fundamental and Interventional Physiology

Download or read book Post Exercise Recovery Fundamental and Interventional Physiology written by Sergej M. Ostojic and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physiological responses after maximal and submaximal exercise are routinely monitored in a plethora of diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, asthma, neuromuscular disorders), and normal populations (e.g. athletes, youth, elderly), while slower or irregular post-exercise recovery usually indicates poor health and/or low fitness level. Abnormal post-exercise recovery (as assessed via blunted post-exercise heart rate dynamics) helps to predict the presence and severity of coronary artery disease, while differences in recovery outcomes in athletes might discriminate between fit and unfit individuals. Disturbances in post-exercise recovery might be due to acute or persistent changes in: (1) adaptive responses mediated by the autonomic nervous system and vasodilator substances, (2) cellular bioenergetics, and/or (3) muscular plasticity. Preliminary evidence suggests possible role of time-dependent modulation of nitric oxide synthase and adenosine receptors during post-exercise recovery, yet no molecular attributes of post-exercise recovery are revealed so far. Currently several markers of post-exercise recovery are used (e.g. heart rate measures, hormone profiles, biochemical and hematological indices); however none of them meets all criteria to make its use generally accepted as the gold standard. In addition, recent studies suggest that different pharmacological agents and dietary interventions, or manipulative actions (e.g. massage, cold-water immersion, compression garments, athletic training) administered before, during or immediately after exercise could positively affect post-exercise recovery. There is a growing interest to provide more evidence-based data concerning the effectiveness and safety of traditional and novel interventions to affect post-exercise recovery. The goals of this research topic are to critically evaluate the current advances on mechanisms and clinical implications of post-exercise recovery, and to summarize recent experimental data from interventional studies. This knowledge may help to identify the hierarchy of key mechanisms, and recognize methods to monitor and improve post-exercise recovery in both health and disease.

  • Release : 2013-05-30
  • ISBN : 158040507X
  • Pages : 554 pages

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.

Book The Effect of an Acute Bout of Exercise on Postprandial Metabolic Responses in Younger and Older Adults

Download or read book The Effect of an Acute Bout of Exercise on Postprandial Metabolic Responses in Younger and Older Adults written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 370,000 Americans, primarily between the ages of 60 and 79, die annually as a result of cardiovascular disease caused by physical inactivity and a diet that is calorically dense and high in fat. Current findings in young and middle-aged adults suggest that acute exercise with energy expenditure in excess of 500 kcals, may attenuate the deleterious health effects caused by consuming the typical American meal. Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of acute exercise and aging on postprandial lipemia (PPL) and postprandial glycemia (PPG). We hypothesized that aerobic exercise performed prior to the consumption of a high-fat meal will attenuate PPL and PPG in younger and older adults. Methods: 12 younger adults (Y: 20-32 yrs) and 12 older adults (O: 61-77 yrs) completed an exercise test to determine peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). On two separate occasions subjects consumed a high fat meal (HFM) consisting of 12 kcals/kg bodyweight. Blood samples were collected at 30-minute intervals over a 6-hour period to determine postprandial triglycerides, cholesterol, and glucose. Twelve hours prior to one of the HFM challenges, subjects exercised on a cycle ergometer at 65% VO2peakto expend 75% of the kilocalories they would be consuming in the HFM the next day. Results:There was a significant main effect for time for PPTG where PPTG levels increased postprandially (p

Book An Investigation of the Post exercise Hypotensive Response Following an Acute Bout of Aquatic and Overground Treadmill Walking in People Post stroke

Download or read book An Investigation of the Post exercise Hypotensive Response Following an Acute Bout of Aquatic and Overground Treadmill Walking in People Post stroke written by Byron Lai and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: While exercise is a universal recommendation for long term prevention and/or maintenance of hypertension, less is understood about the immediate effects of blood pressure (BP) following a single bout of exercise, otherwise known as post-exercise hypotension. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a single-bout of ATW and OTW on the magnitude and duration of post-exercise ambulatory BP in people post-stroke. METHODS: 7 people post-stroke participated in a cross-sectional comparative study. Ambulatory BP was monitored for up to eight hours after a bout of aquatic treadmill walking (ATW) and overground treadmill walking (OTW), performed on separate days. Mean systolic and diastolic BP values were compared between both exercise conditions and a day when no exercise was performed (control). RESULTS: Mean ambulatory systolic BP following ATW was reduced by 5% compared to the control day (p

Book EFFECTS OF ACUTE AEROBIC EXERCISE ON EXECUTIVE FUNCTION IN OLDER WOMEN

Download or read book EFFECTS OF ACUTE AEROBIC EXERCISE ON EXECUTIVE FUNCTION IN OLDER WOMEN written by Roseann Perchinske and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the older adult population, there is a high rate of decline in cognitive functioning. It has been reported that improving fitness levels exhibits a positive effect on cognition (Colcombe & Kramer, 2003; Colcombe et al., 2004). Older adult females 60-75 years of age who were moderately to highly fit performed better on working memory tasks after an acute bout of moderate or high-intensity aerobic exercise than before exercise. Participants included healthy females (N = 11) who were not on medications for cognitive impairment and who did not show signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. A submaximal walking exercise test was administered to assess fitness levels, as well as modified flanker tasks and d2-tests, to measure executive functioning in the brain. Results indicated that older adults females, 60-75 years of age showed improved scores on the modified flanker task and d2-tests after a session of moderate or high-intensity aerobic exercise. These findings suggest that an acute bout of exercise, regardless of intensity, can improve tests of executive control.
