Nearly 40% of mortality in the United States is linked to social and behavioral factors such as smoking, diet sedentary lifestyle. Autonomous self-regulation health-related behaviors thus an important aspect human behavior assess. In 1997, Behavior Change Consortium (BCC) was formed. Within BCC, seven health behaviors, 18 theoretical models, five intervention settings 26 mediating variables were studied across diverse populations. One measures included Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire...
Total Worker Health (TWH) was introduced and the term trademarked in 2011 by National Institute for Occupational Safety (NIOSH) to formally signal expansion of traditional occupational safety health (OSH) include wellness well-being.

Long distance running causes acute muscle damage resulting in inflammation and decreased force production. Endurance athletes use NSAIDs during competition to prevent or reduce pain, which carries the risk of adverse effects. Tart cherries, rich antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties, may have a protective effect pain strenuous exercise. This study aimed assess effects tart cherry juice as compared placebo drink on among runners long relay race.The design was randomized, double blind,...
To test a team-based, educational intervention designed to reduce adolescent athletes' intent use anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS).Randomized prospective trial.Thirty-one high school football teams in the Portland, Ore, area.Seven hundred two players at experimental schools; 804 control schools.Seven weekly, 50-minute class sessions were delivered by coaches and student team leaders, addressing AAS effects, sports nutrition strength-training alternatives use, drug refusal role play,...
Lipid and lipoprotein levels were prospectively studied in previously sedentary men (mean age, 33 years) women 27 undergoing 16 weeks of weight-training exercise. Women demonstrated a 9.5% reduction cholesterol, 17.9% decrease low-density (LDL) cholesterol 28.3% lowering triglycerides. The ratios total cholesterol-high-density (HDL) LDL cholesterol-HDL reduced 14.3% 20.3%, respectively. Among men, was 16.2%, while the lowered 21.6% 28.9%, Weight-training exercise appears to result favorable...
Work-related injuries and illness are prevalent costly. Firefighting is especially hazardous many firefighters sustain work-related injuries. Workplace health promotion programmes have shown positive return on investment (ROI). Little known about how similar would impact injury cost among firefighters.To evaluate the of a workplace intervention workers' compensation (WC) claims medical costs Oregon fire departments participating in PHLAME (Promoting Healthy Lifestyles: Alternative Models'...
