Fatigue, stress, and depression contribute to poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among cancer survivors. This study examined the effects combined aerobic resistance training (CART) on HRQoL biomarkers stress. Cancer survivors (n = 76, 91% female, 39% breast cancer, 32% gynecologic cancer) were enrolled in CART for three 60-min sessions, weekly, 26 weeks. Participants completed National Institutes Health's Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (NIH PROMIS) fatigue...

Background : In the United States, many classroom teachers also teach physical education (PE). However, there is a dearth of evidence- and standard-based PE programs designed to support deliver effectively in schools. Methods The purpose this study was establish proof-of-concept for Pocket 3–5 digital app school settings with 10 third- fifth-grade teachers. We assessed fidelity program implementation, measured via observations quality. Students used wrist-worn heart rate monitors during...

Children from underrepresented populations exhibit low levels of physical activity (PA), diet quality, and health-related quality life (QoL), but participation in extracurricular activities may positively impact these health outcomes. To examine differences PA, dietary behavior, QoL children by dose (0, 1, ≥2) type (sports, dance/martial arts, art/music). (N = 754; Grades 4–6) completed the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children, KidsScreen-27 School Nutrition Survey self-reported...

Previous school-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) interventions have focused on the quantity of physical activity (PA) achieved during education (PE) rather than students' PE experiences, including enjoyment.

Cardiotoxicity as a result of cancer treatment contributes to autonomic dysfunction and decreased cardiorespiratory fitness among survivors. These deleterious cardiovascular outcomes reduce the survival prognosis for patients contribute poor quality life Exercise interventions have been shown effective in mitigating treatment-related side effects. However, previously published not explored potential improvement (heart rate variability, HRV). This study examined adaptations survivors (n = 76)...

Elementary school teachers are often responsible for teaching physical education to their students, with little formal training in that instruction. This study evaluates a trainer residence professional development program designed improve instructional attitudes and practices elementary generalist teachers.Participants were 139 3577 first fifth grade students at 11 public schools Oregon. Program evaluation measures included pre- postteacher surveys on teacher toward fidelity, postprogram...

Volume, or the total work performed during resistance training is one of vital variables exercise programming. The most common definition in use by practitioners sets x reps external weight. While appropriate for linear loading incurred through free-weight exercise, this inadequately addresses nonlinear with rubber resistance, a relatively new technique. purpose investigation was to derive theoretical model describe method volume calculation band plus exercise. Men (n=51; age 19.5±1.6 years;...

The majority of studies examining children’s responses to high-intensity interval exercise primarily utilized running; however, this modality does not require/include other important aspects physical activity including muscular fitness. Purpose : To compare acute between a body weight resistance circuit (CIRC) and treadmill-based (TM) exercise. Method A total 17 boys (age = 9.7 [1.3] y) completed graded test determine peak heart rate, oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak), maximal aerobic speed....

There is limited, equivocal research regarding the psychosocial effects of incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) into physical education (PE) programs. These outcomes are important to assess given that activity (PA) enjoyment and intrinsic motivation predictors PA participation across lifespan. PURPOSE: To evaluate efficacy a fitness- skill based HIIT intervention guided by Self Determination Theory. METHODS: For this pretest-posttest randomized controlled 6-week study, 4-5th...

To promote program sustainability, it is needed to evaluate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) interventions that take place in school settings. PURPOSE: perform a evaluation of fitness- and skill-based HIIT intervention guided by the Self Determination Theory. METHODS: The current study utilized pretest-posttest randomized control design. Over 6 wk period, children (n = 45; 30 F; age 10.5 ± 0.9 years) completed 15-minute circuit during physical education (PE), while 22 (12 continued...

Accurate work and volume quantification is essential to resistance exercise programing in establishing appropriate design controls during research investigations. Viscoelastic properties of elastic band create logarithmic, variable loading patterns, which complicate standard calculations (e.g. sets x reps resistance). Work can be directly measured with force plate technology, but these instruments are not widely available health fitness specialists or strength coaches. Regression equations...

Youth sports participation is positively associated with several psychosocial variables. Minimal research available on associations between team and physical activity lesson (S/PA) health-related outcomes. The benefits of S/PA may be particularly salient in low-income youth, who report low levels activity, lower quality life, poor diet. PURPOSE: To explore the relationship diet, life (QoL) youth. METHODS: A sample students (N=754, 10.4±1.0 y; 53% males; 56.2% black, 30.1% multi-racial/other,...

Physical inactivity is an independent CVD risk factor. In 5th graders few reports show associations between moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and multiple factors, or MVPA micronutrient intakes that contribute cardiovascular health. PURPOSE: To determine if high PA youth have a better factor status higher of micronutrients linked health, compared low youth. METHODS: cross-sectional analysis data from grade students (N=947, 11 ± 0.5 y; 58.2% females; 58.4% white), trained research...

Research examining acute responses to non-laboratory-based high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE), such as body-weight exercise, in children is lacking. PURPOSE: To compare the physiological and perceptual between circuit (CIRC) treadmill running (TM) children. METHODS: Physically active boys (n=17; age = 9.7 ± 1.3 years) completed a graded test determine maximal heart rate (HRmax), peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) aerobic speed (MAS). Time-matched (8-min) CIRC TM were randomized order on...

Vigorous-intensity physical activity (PA), such as high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE), elicits greater health benefits than moderate-intensity PA. However, predictors of PA adherence affect and enjoyment are rarely assessed during HIIE in children. PURPOSE: To compare girls’ acute perceptual responses to different types HIIE, treadmill-based (TM) body-weight resistance circuit (CIRC), CIRC performed a small group setting. METHODS: Fifteen active girls (age = 9.2 ± 1.1 years) completed...

Girls' acute responses to group-based high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) are not well characterized.To compare treadmill-based HIIE (TM) and body-weight resistance circuit (CIRC) CIRC performed in a small-group setting (group CIRC).Nineteen girls (9.1 [1.1] y) completed testing on TM determine peak oxygen uptake, heart rate (HRpeak), maximal aerobic speed. The involved eight 30-second sprints at 100% consisted of 8 exercises repetitions for 30 seconds. Each bout was followed by seconds...
