Background: In light of the current obesity epidemic, treatment models are needed that can prevent weight gain or provide loss.We examined long-term effects a supervised program moderate-intensity exercise on body and composition in previously sedentary, overweight moderately obese men women.We hypothesized 16-month verified would loss group compared with controls.Methods: This was randomized controlled efficacy trial.Participants were recruited from 2 midwestern universities their...
A small portable accelerometer was developed to estimate the energy expenditure of daily activities. The is reported be an improvement over movement counters currently on market. oxygen requirement 14 different activities measured in 21 subjects while each wore waist. counter (mercury switch), which available commercially, also worn waist and another left wrist. reproducibility readings high (4 subjects, activities; r = 0.94) superior either (r 0.63) or wrist 0.74). In estimating (VO2)...
Few data on physical activity habits among populations of low socioeconomic status have been published. The authors studied habits—leisure-time activity, job-related household and walking—among 172 lower women 84 men compared their with those 208 higher 95 men. All subjects resided in the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, area. Data collection occurred throughout 1986. Lower women, least active group, averaged 1,536 ± 1,701 minutes/week (±standard deviation) total whereas most 2,079 1,807 (p...
Abstract Background United States National Health Objectives include increasing the proportion of trips made by walking to and from school for children who live within 1.6 km 50%. The purpose this objective is increase level physical activity among children. However, impact walking, bicycling or skating (active commuting) on prevalence overweight unknown. Methods Body mass index (BMI) was measured 320 (age 10.2 ± 0.7 years) in September. Over 5 months, an active commuting (SI) daily were...
The current study examined the relationship between children's performance on Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run subtest of FitnessGram® and aspects cognitive control that are believed to support academic success.Hierarchical linear regression analyses were conducted a sample second- third-grade children (n = 397) who completed modified versions flanker task spatial n-back assess inhibitory working memory, respectively.Greater aerobic fitness was significantly related shorter...

Sports Exerc., Vol. 35, No. 8, pp. 1374–1380, 2003. Purpose To evaluate criterion validity 7-Day (7D-PAR) factors associated with reporting error, a sample moderately overweight, young adult men women. Methods Average total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) physical activity (PAEE) from 7D-PAR were compared same parameters assessed by...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence size active muscle mass on cardiovascular response static contraction. Twelve male subjects performed one-arm handgrip (HG), two-leg extension (LE), and a “dead-lift” maneuver (DL) in randomly assigned order for 3 min at 30% maximal voluntary O2 uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR), mean intra-arterial blood pressure (MABP) were measured rest and, addition absolute tension exerted, throughout There direct relationship between magnitude...
Physical Activity Across the Curriculum (PAAC) is a 3-year elementary school-based intervention to determine if increased amounts of moderate intensity physical activity performed in classroom will diminish gains body mass index (BMI). It cluster-randomized, controlled trial, involving 4905 children (2505 intervention, 2400 control). We collected both qualitative and quantitative process evaluation data from 24 schools (14 10 control), which included tracking teacher training issues,...
We have developed and tested a portable device that measures energy expenditure per unit time of human subject. A modified ceramic phonocartridge senses the acceleration body. After amplification rectification Curtis 120 CP3 elapsed meter integrates output. This may prove to be useful in providing an objective measurement level physical activity subjects can used studying habitual leisure activities large population setting. It is worn on waist, weighs 400 g, 14 X 8 4 cm, costs $ 30 plus 5 h...
