Download or read book Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.

This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An imbalance between high energy intake – due to inadequate diet – and reduced energy expenditure – caused by sedentary habits – is believed to create an inherent risk of obesity among individuals. Lifestyle changes among preschool children coupled with health problems (cardiovascular, metabolic, orthopedic, psychological etc.) correlate to an observed increase in body mass index and may even predispose growing children towards obesity in their adult life. Adequate physical activity in the form of regular exercise (in terms of intensity, frequency and duration) has been shown to reduce BMI and have a positive impact on health and physical fitness levels among children. Thus physical activity programs have been applied for obesity prevention and treatment with some degree of success. Physical Activity, Fitness, Nutrition and Obesity During Growth focuses on research findings and recommendations to mitigate obesity risk in children during early growth stages. The reviews presented in this volume give readers an interdisciplinary insight into the realm of obesity as a global epidemic in early childhood. The review also discusses interventions based on physical activity, which can help combat obesity among children while avoiding undesirable strategies (such as strict diets). The book is intended for public health officials, social workers, as well as general medical practitioners and counsellors.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
Book Synopsis Relationships Among Measures of Strength and Power and Health Outcomes in Youth by : Adrian Lloyd

This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adrian Douglas Lloyd. RELATIONSHIPS AMONG MEASURES OF STRENGTH AND POWER AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN YOUTH. (Under the direction of Dr. Matthew T. Mahar) Department of Kinesiology, August 2014. Abstract The interest in musculoskeletal fitness and its overall impact on health has been increasing in the last decade. The Institute of Medicine (2012) report called for the addition of several muscular fitness tests to national surveys of youth health-related physical fitness and to fitness test batteries in schools and other educational settings. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among various muscular fitness tests and health outcomes in youth. Methods: Participants included 49 boys and girls aged 9 to 14 years. A series of muscular fitness tests and tests of health outcomes were completed in two test sessions. Muscular fitness tests included the standing long jump, vertical jump, upper body power throw, total body power throw, and handgrip strength. Handgrip strength was expressed in absolute terms and allometrically scaled to a power of 0.67. The health outcomes examined were aerobic capacity, body composition, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and physical activity. Aerobic capacity (VO2max) was directly measured during a maximal treadmill test. Body composition (percent fat) was assessed with the BODPOD. Blood pressure was measured via auscultation after 5 minutes of seated rest. Physical activity was quantified as minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) from 7-day accelerometer measurement. Bivariate correlations were calculated to examine the relationships among fitness tests of strength and power and health outcomes. To control for the impact of body mass index (BMI) and age, partial correlations were calculated among fitness tests and health outcomes controlling for BMI z-score and age. To examine relationships among fitness tests and health outcomes from a criterion-referenced perspective, participants were categorized into both the aerobic capacity and body composition Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) and Needs Improvement Zone (NIZ) as defined by FitnessGram℗ʼ. Effect size (ES) estimates were calculated with Cohen's delta to examine the size of the difference between the HFZ and NIZ groups on the fitness test variables. Results: SBP and VO2max were moderately correlated with several fitness tests, including total body power throw (r = .37, -.28), upper body power throw (r = .33, -.31), and dominant (r = .44, -.33) and nondominant handgrip strength (r = .37, -.34). Percent fat was moderately correlated with the standing long jump (r = -.45) and vertical jump (r = -.50). The correlation between percent fat and handgrip strength was close to zero when handgrip strength was expressed in absolute terms. Moderate correlations were found between percent fat and handgrip strength when handgrip strength was allometrically scaled for body mass (r = -.50 and -.48). When partial correlations controlling for BMI z-score and age were calculated, generally a similar pattern of correlations was found, except that the partial correlations among SBP and the throwing tests and absolute handgrip strength were lower than the bivariate correlations. When the HFZ was defined with aerobic capacity standards, the HFZ group did better on the standing long jump than the NIZ group (ES = 0.45). However, medium effect sizes demonstrated that the NIZ group did better than the HFZ group on total body power throw (ES = -0.42), upper body power throw (ES = -0.59), and absolute handgrip strength (ES = -0.48, -0.39). Differences in the vertical jump and allometrically scaled handgrip strength favored the HFZ group over the NIZ group, but these differences were generally small (range of ES = 0.16 to .32). When the HFZ was defined with body composition standards, effect size estimates revealed large differences between the HFZ and NIZ groups favoring the HFZ group for standing long jump (ES = 0.84), vertical jump (ES = 1.06), and allometrically scaled handgrip strength (ES = 1.30, 1.42). Small to medium effect sizes were found for total body power throw (ES = 0.26), upper body power throw (ES = 0.19), and absolute handgrip strength (ES = 0.36, 0.43) favoring the HFZ group over the NIZ group. Conclusion: Results demonstrated moderate levels of norm-referenced and criterion-referenced evidence that the tests of musculoskeletal fitness used in the current study are health-related. However, findings also indicated that the significant relationships between these musculoskeletal fitness tests and health outcomes are highly influenced by body composition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the relationship between energy balance and obesity is essential to develop effective prevention programs and policies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer convened a Working Group of world-leading experts in December 2015 to review the evidence regarding energy balance and obesity, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries, and to consider the following scientific questions: (i) Are the drivers of the obesity epidemic related only to energy excess and/or do specific foods or nutrients play a major role in this epidemic? (ii) What are the factors that modulate these associations? (iii) Which types of data and/or studies will further improve our understanding? This book provides summaries of the evidence from the literature as well as the Working Group's conclusions and recommendations to tackle the global epidemic of obesity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and treat noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease stroke diabetes and breast and colon cancer. It also helps to prevent hypertension overweight and obesity and can improve mental health quality of life and well-being. In addition to the multiple health benefits of physical activity societies that are more active can generate additional returns on investment including a reduced use of fossil fuels cleaner air and less congested safer roads. These outcomes are interconnected with achieving the shared goals political priorities and ambition of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. The new WHO global action plan to promote physical activity responds to the requests by countries for updated guidance and a framework of effective and feasible policy actions to increase physical activity at all levels. It also responds to requests for global leadership and stronger regional and national coordination and the need for a whole-of-society response to achieve a paradigm shift in both supporting and valuing all people being regularly active according to ability and across the life course. The action plan was developed through a worldwide consultation process involving governments and key stakeholders across multiple sectors including health sports transport urban design civil society academia and the private sector.
Book Synopsis Physical Activity Epidemiology by : Rod K. Dishman
Download or read book Physical Activity Epidemiology written by Rod K. Dishman and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2012-08-29 with total page 1316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive discussion of current population-level studies showing the influence of physical activity on disease. Updated with extensive new research collected in the eight years since the previous edition, the second edition adds the expertise of respected epidemiologist I-Min Lee. To assist readers in understanding the public health significance of physical activity, Dishman, Heath, and Lee present a detailed review of research findings and what those findings suggest regarding the relationship between physical activity and a variety of health risks. The second edition of this groundbreaking text has been exhaustively updated to reflect the wealth of new research published in this fast-moving field of study. With more than 100 pages of additional content, the text also offers more detailed coverage of all-cause and coronary heart disease mortality, expanded coverage of pathophysiology and biological plausibility, new information on physical activity among various racial–ethnic populations, and the effects of physical activity on cognitive function, dementia, and HIV/AIDS. More than 250 tables and figures, twice the number found in the previous edition, highlight the latest epidemiological information in an easy-to-understand visual format. Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, assists readers in understanding how leisure-time physical activity can enhance people’s quantity and quality of life by summarizing the available knowledge, detailing the methods used to obtain it, considering its implications for public health, and outlining the important questions that remain. Readers will find comprehensive discussion of these topics: • Evidence that physical activity protects against the development of coronary heart disease and stroke and premature death from all causes • Population-based studies and clinical experiments providing evidence that physical activity and exercise play a role in the primary and secondary prevention of mild hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity • Contemporary epidemiologic evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis and protects against the development of breast and colon cancers, some inflammatory diseases, depression, and anxiety disorders • Considerations in the promotion of a safe, physically active lifestyle among all segments of the population Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, will engage and challenge students by examining the state of current research in all of its variation and even ambiguity. The text details the methodology and findings of classic and contemporary studies and then helps students begin to analyze the results. Special Strength of the Evidence sections found at the end of most chapters summarize the findings to determine the extent to which correlation and causation can be proven. Chapter objectives, chapter summaries, and sidebars in each chapter assist students in focusing on the key points of study, and an extensive glossary with detailed definitions provides a handy reference for review. Instructors will find a new image bank in this edition to enhance their class lecture materials. Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, offers students, sport and exercise scientists, health and fitness professionals, and public health administrators a comprehensive presentation of significant studies, how these studies contribute to understanding the relationship between activity and disease prevention, and how this information can be used in leading individuals, communities, and global society toward increased health and longevity.
