The deleterious health consequences of physical inactivity are vast, and they paramount clinical research importance. Risk identification, benchmarks, efficacy, evaluation activity behavior change initiatives for clinicians researchers all require a clear understanding how to assess activity. In the present report, we have provided rationale importance assessing levels, documented key concepts in different dimensions, domains, terminology associated with measurement. assessment methods...
Abstract Background Obesity (OB) is a serious epidemic in the United States. Methods We examined OB patterns and time trends across socio-economic geographic parameters projected future situation. Large national databases were used. Overweight (OW), severe obesity (SOB) defined using body mass index cut-points/percentiles; central (CO), waist circumference cut-point adults waist:height ratio cutoff youth. Various meta-regression analysis models fit for projection analyses. Results prevalence...
Purpose Consumer-based physical activity (PA) monitors are popular for individual tracking of PA variables. However, current research has not examined how these track energy expenditure (EE) and steps in distinct activities. This study the accuracy Fitbits One, Zip, Flex Jawbone UP24 estimating EE specific activities categories. Methods Thirty subjects completed a structured protocol consisting three sedentary, four household, ambulatory/exercise All began by lying on bed 10 min; other were...
To comprehensively assess the influence of aerobic training on muscle size and function, we examined seven older women (71 +/- 2 yr) before after 12 wk cycle ergometer training. The program increased (P < 0.05) capacity by 30 6%. Quadriceps volume, determined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was 2% greater knee extensor power 55 7% 0.05). Muscle biopsies were obtained from vastus lateralis to determine contractile properties individual slow (MHC I) fast IIa) myofibers, myosin light chain...
To examine potential age-specific adaptations in skeletal muscle size and myofiber contractile physiology response to aerobic exercise, seven young (YM; 20 ± 1 yr) six older men (OM; 74 3 performed 12 wk of cycle ergometer training. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis determine properties isolated slow [myosin heavy chain (MHC) I] fast (MHC IIa) myofibers, MHC composition, protein concentration. Aerobic capacity was higher ( P < 0.05) after training both YM (16 2%) OM...
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have become the primary health concern for most countries around world. Currently, more than 36 million people worldwide die from NCDs each year, accounting 63% of annual global deaths; are preventable. The financial burden is staggering, with an estimated 2010 cost $6.3 trillion (US dollars) that projected to increase $13 by 2030. A number share one or common predisposing risk factors, all related lifestyle some degree: (1) cigarette smoking, (2)...
Cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention (CR/SP) services are typically delivered by a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals. The American Association Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) recognizes that to provide high-quality services, it is important for these professionals possess certain core competencies. This update the previous statement identifies 10 areas competencies CR/SP specific knowledge skills each competency. These competency consistent with...
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an established technique for the measurement of body composition. Reference values these variables, particularly those related to fat mass, are necessary interpretation and accurate classification at risk obesity-related health complications in need lifestyle modifications (diet, physical activity, etc.). Currently, there no reference available GE-Healthcare DXA systems it known that whole-body regional mass measures differ by manufacturer.To develop...
Background/aim Consumer-based physical activity (PA) monitors have become popular tools to track PA behaviours. Currently, little is known about the validity of measurements provided by consumer monitors. We aimed compare measures steps, energy expenditure (EE) and active minutes four with one research-grade accelerometer within a semistructured protocol. Methods Thirty men women (18–80 years old) wore Fitbit One (worn at waist), Zip (waist), Flex (wrist), Jawbone UP24 (wrist) waist-worn...
