Exercise is considered an important component of a healthy lifestyle but there remains controversy on effects exercise non-exercise physical activity (PA). The present study examined the prospective association aerobic and resistance with total daily energy expenditure PA in previously sedentary, young men. Nine men (27.0 ± 3.3 years) completed two 16-week programs (3 sessions per week) separated by minimum 6 weeks random order. Energy were measured SenseWear Mini Armband prior to each...
Objective: Many states in the southern region of United States are recognized for higher rates obesity, physical inactivity, and chronic disease. These therefore their disproportionate public health burden. The purpose this study was to investigate state-level distributions cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index (BMI), injuries among US Army recruits order determine whether or not certain may also pose threats military readiness national security. Methods: Sex-specific values fitness 165...
Abstract Despite the generally accepted benefits of exercise on sleep there remains limited research potential differential effects by type. The purpose present study was to examine short-term and chronic aerobic resistance various quality parameters, as well duration. Generally healthy, previously sedentary young (27±3 years) men completed a 16-week program in random order separated minimum 6 weeks with no formal exercise. Each consisted three supervised sessions per week. Quality duration...
ABSTRACT Introduction Secular trend of increasing musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) across all branches the U.S. Military is a critical limiting factor in effective and efficient process preparing military personnel for combat. The need to evaluate functional capacity beyond current physical fitness test (PFT) standards key understanding an individual’s risk noncombat-related injury. purpose this study relationship between Functional Movement ScreenTM (FMS) scores, incidence injuries,...
PURPOSE: To characterize the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels of US Army recruits by state. METHODS: Data on from all 50 states and Washington, DC who entered basic combat training (BCT) between 2010-2013 were provided Public Health Center. CRF was assessed in a subset their first diagnostic Physical Fitness Test during BCT two-mile run time (run time) minutes. States ranked into quartiles based median times that state aged 17 - 35 yrs total sample stratified sex. RESULTS: A 168,160...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects exercise mode and intensity on energy expenditure (EE) during after five time-matched aerobic resistance protocols in resistance-trained (RT) males. METHODS: Fourteen RT males (mean±SD; age:24.2±4.0 yrs; body mass:84.7±13.3 kg; height:181.2±8.8 cm; fat:15.9±4.6%) completed separate days ≥48 hrs apart random order, each lasting 40 min duration: continuous (continuous), high interval (HIIT), strength endurance (2x20), traditional...
PURPOSE: Despite a variety of fitness tests across all branches service, there remains common requirement to test cardiorespiratory (CRF) predict combat readiness and performance. However, no military CRF resembles performance by including load carriage, acceleration/deceleration, change direction, or an externally stimulated pace. This study aimed assess the relationship between weighted vest run (WVR) that in sample active duty US Marines determine if WVR was valid predictor CRF. METHODS:...
