A pproximately 79 400 000 American adults, or 1 in 3, have cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD accounts for 36.3% of every 2.8 deaths the United States and is leading cause death among both men women States, killing an average 37 seconds. Older some ethnic minority populations, socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals increased prevalence vascular/metabolic risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes; are more likely to Ն2 factors; at being sedentary, overweight obese, having...
Chronic diseases have become a focal point of public health worldwide with estimates trillions dollars in annual care cost and causing more than 36 million deaths year. Lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity are heavily correlated the development many chronic diseases. New strategies for primary secondary disease prevention desperately needed to aid blunting negative economic social impact these Physical activity (PA) exercise now considered principal interventions use Currently,...
Study Objectives:To evaluate the efficacy of a 12-week exercise training program for reducing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and improving quality, to explore possible mechanisms by which may reduce OSA severity.
Purpose Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs have been shown to promote numerous health benefits among patients with active coronary heart disease (CHD), but little is known about the percentage of eligible CHD who enroll in CR. Methods A survey was performed 500 randomly chosen CR operation United States during 1990. Patient characteristics and enrollment data were combined from 1990 National Hospital Discharge Survey estimate participated early outpatient (Phase II) after myocardial...
The purpose of this study was to determine the threshold exercise energy expenditure necessary change blood lipid and lipoprotein concentrations lipase activity (LPLA) in healthy, trained men. On different days, 11 men (age, 26.7 ± 6.1 yr; body fat, 11.0 1.5%) completed four separate, randomly assigned, submaximal treadmill sessions at 70% maximal O 2 consumption. During each session 800, 1,100, 1,300, or 1,500 kcal were expended. Compared with immediately before exercise, high-density...
There is some speculation about geographic differences in physical activity (PA) levels. We examined the prevalence of inactivity (PIA) and whether U.S. citizens met recommended levels PA across United States. In addition, association between PIA/PA degree urbanization 4 main regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, West) was determined.Participants were 178,161 respondents to 2000 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Data from 49 states District Columbia included (excluding...
Background — Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Cardiorespiratory fitness (“fitness”) related lower CHD risk; however, its relationship CRP relatively unknown. Methods and Results Cross-sectional associations between plasma were examined among 135 African American (AA), Native (NA), Caucasian (CA) women (55±11 year; 28±6 kg/m 2 ). Fitness was assessed a maximal treadmill exercise test. Plasma concentrations determined the Dade...

Previous findings of time-of-day differences in athletic performance could be confounded by diurnal fluctuations environmental and behavioral “masking” factors (e.g., sleep, ambient temperature, energy intake). The purpose this study was to examine whether there is a circadian rhythm swim that independent these masking factors. Experienced swimmers ( n = 25) were assessed for 50–55 consecutive hours the laboratory. followed 3-h “ultra-short” sleep-wake cycle, involving 1 h sleep darkness 2...
During the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, physical activity (PA) behaviors were altered worldwide due to public health measures such as “lockdown.” This study described PA among adults residing in 11 countries during COVID-19 lockdown and examined factors associated with engagement. We conducted a cross-sectional anonymous survey (≥18 years old) (Brazil, Bulgaria, China, India, Ireland, Malaysia, North Macedonia, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, United States). Of 11,775 participants, 63.7%...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between moderate-intensity physical activity (PA) and fasting insulin levels among African-American (n = 47), Native American 46), Caucasian women 49), aged 40-83 years, enrolled in Cross-Cultural Activity Participation Study. Associations by race/ethnicity, central obesity, cardiorespiratory fitness were also examined. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Physical scores obtained from detailed PA records that included all...
Abstract Objective: To determine the association of moderate‐intensity physical activity (PA), vigorous‐intensity PA, and maximal treadmill duration with metabolic syndrome among African‐American ( n = 49), Native‐American 46), white 51) women (ages, 40 to 83 years), enrolled in Cross‐Cultural Activity Participation Study. Research Methods Procedures: The was defined as three or more following risk factors: waist circumference >88 cm, blood pressure ≥130/85 mm Hg, fasting glucose ≥110...
Abstract HIV infection and drug therapies result in physical psychological challenges to those living with HIV. These conditions contribute decreased functional aerobic capacity (FAC). The aim of this study was determine the effects a combined moderate-intensity resistance exercise intervention on FAC HIV-infected individuals. Forty individuals were randomized an group (EX) who completed six weeks training, or control (CON) that did not receive intervention. Twice weekly, EX 30 minutes...
