Book excerpt: Project MENTOR was a mentor-based exercise intervention for overweight children, ages 12-18 years. Undergraduate exercise physiology students (n=10) served as mentors to facilitate healthy lifestyle modifications through exercise based on C.A.R.E. (competence, autonomy, relatedness, and enjoyment from self-determination theory) and lifestyle coaching using cognitive-behavioral strategies. Mentors led exercise training three times a week and implemented a weekly lesson focused on self-regulatory skills and goal-setting related to healthy eating and lifestyle activity. The current study examined MENOR's [sic] impact on BMI-Z scores, DXA-total percent body fat (% BF), depression, and physical fitness levels assessed by VO2 max and total treadmill time percent change. Obese female (n=11) and male (n=12) adolescents, including Caucasian (n=13) and African American (n=10) participants were randomly assigned to two conditions: a 14 weeks intervention or wait-list control. Five additional participants completed a 22-week intervention. Participants from all conditions were assessed at baseline, after 14 weeks, and 3 months follow-up. The 28 participants had an initial BMI Z-score of 2.17 (SD=0.40) and DXA-total % BF score of 43.66% (SD=6.28), VO2 max values of 27.15 (SD=6.87) ml/kg/min along with a depression t-score of 53.53 (SD=1.79). At baseline, there were no significant differences between groups on any of the outcome variables. Repeated measures ANOVA's revealed nonsignificant time by group interactions for BMI Z-scores (p=.12) and DXA-total % BF (p=.18). Although the interaction effects were not significant, effect sizes were evaluated using Cohen d given the low statistical power associated with small sample sizes. There was minimal change in the control group's BMI Z-score and DXA-total % BF at 14-weeks and follow-up compared to baseline with Cohen d ranging from .005-.09. In comparison, both intervention groups made small to moderate improvements in BMI Z-scores and % BF at post-assessment (BMI Z-scores: d=.31 for the 22-week intervention and d=.23 for the 14-weeks; DXA-% BF: d=.63 for the 22-weeks and d=.23 for the 14 weeks). The 14-week intervention group did not maintain changes in BMI Z-scores or % BF levels at follow-up (d=.02 for BMI Z-scores and d=.04 for % BF). The 22-week intervention group, however, was able to improve their BMI Z-scores (d=.62) and % BF (d=.57) at follow-up. There was a significant interaction for VO2 max values (p=.01). Based on effect sizes, the 22-week intervention (Cohen d=.003 and .12) and control group (Cohen d=.04 and .21) showed minimal change in VO2 across the three time points; whereas the 14-weeks intervention had a large increase from pre to post-assessment (d=.89) and then decreased toward baseline at follow-up (d=.29). For depression, there was a nonsignificant group X time interaction (p= .21). Inspection of effect sizes revealed that all three groups showed a moderate decrease in depression scores from pre to post test. Whereas both the control and prolonged intervention maintained those improvements, the 14 weeks intervention did not. In summary, although both intervention groups showed some improvement across all outcome variables post intervention, only the prolonged 22-week intervention maintained improvements after a no treatment follow-up. Overall, these findings suggest that a longer treatment may yield sustained improvement or maintenance in weight related outcomes.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, the prevalence of youth obesity has been on the rise (Ogden et al, 2010) highlighting the need for research evaluating interventions targeting eating behaviors and lifestyle activity. Although it is important to examine the impact of interventions on physical activity, fitness, and body composition given their relationship with physical health, it is also important to assess the impact of interventions on mental well-being. Self-perceptions, including self-esteem, are important indicators of mental well-being (Blaine et al., 2006). In fact, Biddle (2011) found poor self-perceptions to be a predominant mental health issue in overweight adolescents. Although exercise is associated with improved self-esteem, the changes in self-esteem are often not large in magnitude (Spence et al., 2005). The greatest improvements are likely to occur in those populations that would benefit the most such as overweight individuals (Lox, Ginis, & Petruzzello, 2010). In addition to exercise, mentoring programs have also had positive effects on youth self-esteem (King, 2002). Thus, exercise combined with mentoring may by an effective strategy for enhancing self-perceptions. This study evaluated the impact of a mentor-based exercise program on the self-perceptions, body composition, physical activity, and fitness level of overweight adolescents. Adolescents participated in mentor-led, weekly exercise sessions for approximately 14 weeks. The program also involved a lifestyle-coaching component through weekly behavioral challenges designed to enhance self-regulatory skills related to physical activity and healthy eating. To date, 28 participants with a mean age of 14 and a baseline BMI of 32 have participated in the mentoring intervention. An additional 12 adolescents were randomly assigned to a wait-list control condition. In addition to fitness (maximum treadmill test), physical activity (accelerometers) and body composition (DXA) assessments, participants completed a questionnaire that examined exercise specific self-perceptions, physical self-worth, and global self-esteem (Whitehead, 1995; Harter 1988) pre/post intervention and after a no treatment maintenance period. A series of 2 (condition) X 2 (time) repeated measures ANOVA's combined with effect size inspection revealed that participants in the mentoring condition showed improved aerobic fitness (d = .44) compared to the control condition, which exhibited a negative change (d = -.06). Participants in the mentoring condition showed increased moderate-vigorous intensity activity (d = .41), compared to the control group (d = .14). While BMI-Z score improvements did not differ across conditions, percent body fat change for the experimental group showed a small, positive change (d = .22), compared to the control group (d = .08). In terms of self-perceptions, mentor participants reported improved self-esteem, physical self-worth, and perceived physical condition with the effect sizes being in the moderate to large range (i.e., d = .52, .79, .82), while the control group showed minimal change (i.e., d = .11, .26, .30). However, when evaluated after a no contact follow-up period, all variables in the experimental condition had regressed toward baseline. These results suggest a mentor-based exercise intervention has a positive impact while adolescents are in the program. However the program does not seem to be effective at helping participants maintain healthy changes when the program ends.

Book excerpt: In the past few decades obesity rates in the US have reached epidemic proportions in both adults and children. Nearly one-third of American adults are obese, and since 1980, the obesity rates for children 6-11 years and 12-19 have nearly tripled (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Obesity in adults and children is associated with abnormal lipid profiles, insulin resistance and low cardiorespiratory endurance (CRE). The link between disease risk and low CRE has been well established in adults and to a lesser extent in children and adolescents. The PURPOSE of this study was to evaluate the effect of a mentor-led vigorous aerobic exercise program on insulin resistance, body composition, and peak VO2 in overweight and obese adolescents. METHODS Subjects (n=23) for the study were randomly assigned to two groups. Eleven participants were assigned exercise mentors and exercised approximately three times per week for 45 to 60 minutes each session. An additional 12 adolescents were randomly assigned to a control group. Body composition, Peak VO2, and HOMA-IR levels were assessed at pre-, post-, and follow-up testing. A 2 (control vs. experimental) x 3 (pre-, post-, follow-up) repeated measures analyzes of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data using the MANOVA procedure in JMP®. RESULTS No significant intervention effect was observed for body composition measures. Significant effects were observed in Peak VO2max (p = 0.0066) and total treadmill time (p = 0.0116). In the experimental group, effect size, measured by Cohen's d, showed a high effect size (d = 0.88) for Peak VO2max from pre to post test and a moderate decrease in effect size (d = -0.44) from post to follow-up. Similar findings were shown with total treadmill time with a small positive effect size from pre to post (d = 0.29) and a small decrease from post to follow-up (d = -0.33). No significant between group differences were found in HOMA-IR. However, the intervention group's HOMA-IR, improved between baseline and post testing period. The current findings show that independent of weight loss and change in body composition, positive changes in fitness were significantly different from the control group, and the fitness improvements were maintained throughout the duration of the study. Insulin resistance improved for the experimental group from baseline to post testing and was maintained over the 12 week non-intervention follow-up period.CONCLUSION A mentor-led exercise intervention does have potential to be effective at increasing health outcomes independent of weight loss, which can be sustainable after the cessation of the program.

Book excerpt: Introduction: This program of research targeted the impact of an 8-month weight loss intervention induced by physical activity and nutrition on bone health in adolescents with obesity. The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the impact of a lifestyle weight loss intervention on the bone parameters in adolescents with obesity. Method: Sixty-five adolescents were recruited: 31 (6 males) adolescents with obesity in the weight loss intervention (age: 13.61 (1.27)), 23 normal weight (NW) adolescents (age: 15.90 (0.43)) and 11 (4 males) adolescents with obesity in another control group (14.02 (1.39)). Primary outcomes targeted bone densitometry (whole body, spine, hip DXA). Secondary outcomes included body composition, bone geometry and strength (hip structural analysis) and bone biomarkers (procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), C telopeptide (CTx) estradiol, leptin). Data were collected at baseline, 4 months and 8 months. Data were adjusted for body weight, fat mass and lean mass changes. (...) Conclusion: Bone fragility in adolescents with obesity was demonstrated by (1) baseline and post intervention lower whole body and regional BMD than NW controls, (2) post-intervention higher fracture risk index at the narrow neck, (3) bone biomarkers showing reduced z-scores, uncoupling indices and qualitative representations of the distribution of bone remodeling. Future investigations of links between bone and obesity during adolescence can be well informed by the results of this thesis.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Obesity has become a severe issue in the United States, and gastric bypass surgery has been one of the most successful tools to combat the adverse consequences of this disease. The rapid weight loss associated with gastric bypass surgery is also associated with a loss of lean mass. Lean mass maintenance is necessary for both maintenance of basal metabolic rate and ambulation; therefore, the focus of many studies has been directed toward attenuating the loss of lean mass resulting from gastric bypass surgery. Previous studies on the subject have included aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and a combination of the two with varying results; however, all past studies have been short term (less than 4 months). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a long term (6 month) aerobic exercise program on lean mass and to determine if there were differences between the loss of lean mass in the arms and legs. It was hypothesized that the loss of lean mass would be attenuated by 6 months of exercise, and that the lean mass loss would be attenuated more in the lower body then upper body. Methods: Forty-seven obese, adult men and women having undergone gastric bypass surgery were randomized into 2 groups: control and exercise. Control group participants received typical care following surgery whereas exercise group participants were progressed to 4-5 days per week, 30-45 min per session (120-180 min per week) of moderate intensity aerobic exercise, 60-70% maximal heart rate. The 6 month intervention began 1-3 months post-gastric bypass surgery. Pre and post assessments were made using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). 2-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze tissue percent fat, tissue mass, fat mass, lean mass, total mass, and bone mineral content in the right side body and in segments of the right side of the body. Results: Mean weight loss over the 6-month intervention was 19.9% of body weight. The tissue % fat decreased 10.6% (SE of diff 1.5%) in the control group and 13.2% (SE of diff 1.4%) in the exercise group. Fat mass decreased 36.5% (SEM 3.1%) in the control group and 42.6% (SEM 3.7%) in the exercise group. Lean mass decreased 2.1 % (SEM 1.5%) in the control group and 3.0% (SEM 2.6%) in the exercise group. There were no significant between groups differences. Both groups decreased lean mass in the right upper arm (control group 0.3 kg SEM 0.1 kg; exercise group 0.4 kg SEM 0.1 kg). Lean mass in the right lower leg significantly decreased over time in the exercise group (0.1 kg SEM 0.05 kg); conversely, the control group maintained lean mass in the right lower leg. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest a 6 month moderate intensity aerobic exercise intervention that begins 1-3 months post-gastric bypass surgery does not attenuate the loss of lean mass resulting from gastric bypass surgery. Segmentally, exercise does not lessen the loss of lean mass in the upper arm, and actually results in a greater loss of lean mass in the lower leg as compared to the control. The loss of lean mass in the lower leg may be a result of biomechanical changes in walking patterns associated with weight loss.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: There is epidemiological evidence for a strong association between obesity and insufficient leisure-time physical activity and low levels of occupational activity in industrialized societies. Women are more likely to be physically inactive and overweight, and thus, we need an effective approach using behavioral theories to help sedentary overweight/obese women adopt and maintain regular exercise. Project CHANGE (to being a Confident, Healthy, And Goal--directed Exerciser) is an 8-week intervention with 4-week follow-up that targeted constructs from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and addressed both behavioral strategies and physical skills. A total of 25 eligible participants were enrolled in Project CHANGE and were randomized to two treatment conditions: Self-Determination Theory-based exercise training plus behavioral intervention (SD group) or standard care (SC group) with traditional supervised exercise training. The final sample size was 21 (NSD = 11; NSC = 10). There were 2 dropouts from each group. Participants completed fitness assessments and questionnaires to measure physical activity, quality of life, depressive symptoms, SDT constructs, and other established psychological mediators of exercise, such as self-efficacy and goal setting. The results showed that the weekly energy expenditure did not differ significantly between the groups at post-intervention when baseline PA was controlled. However, the majority of the participants in the SD group remained active at the 4-week follow-up assessment and met the public health PA recommendation. The treatment effects on the psychological variables were limited when controlling for baseline values. For both groups, integrated regulation, perceived autonomy support, and exercise goal-setting significantly increased over time. Exercise planning had a tendency to increase, but not significantly. Scheduling self-efficacy was significantly higher in the SD group than the SC group, regardless of time. In the follow-up analysis, we categorized all the participants into two groups based upon exercise adherence, defined as exercising>= 150 min/week at the 4-week follow-up (i.e., adherent group and non-adherent group). Participants in the adherent group had significantly greater autonomous motivation (i.e., intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, and identified regulation), scheduling and coping self-efficacies, and self-regulatory techniques (i.e., goal-setting and planning) compared to the non-adherent group. Confidence and ability to self-regulate were important for exercise adherence. Goal-setting was the most influential predictor among these variables. The results show promise and warrant additional testing of Project CHANGE as a method to help overweight or obese women start and further maintain exercise behavior. A higher fidelity SDT intervention with larger sample size is necessary to examine the treatment effect and the proposed SDT causal pathways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sample of 21 individuals participated in a research study to examine the effect of a health mentor on weight status and weight management behaviors during an eight-week weight loss challenge. Weight status was defined as pounds lost and change in Body Mass Index (BMI). The health mentor met with the experimental group (n=10) four times for 15-minute sessions over the course of the eight-week challenge. Data were evaluated through an initial weigh-in to examine start weight and start BMI, also pre and post evaluation surveys were administered to gather weight management information on topics such as physical activity, meal planning, breakfast consumption and water intake. Results showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups' weight loss (p=.003) and BMI change (p=.002). One behavior change, breakfast consumption, proved to be significant (p=.043) as well as a significant change in the experimental group's self-efficacy (p=.005). The results of this research showed health mentoring to have positive impacts on participants in a weight loss challenge in regards to weight loss, self-efficacy and weight management behavior change.

Book excerpt: A cardiologist's revolutionary weight-loss plan that allows dieters to enjoy good carbs while still losing weight The glycemic index has been the basis of many popular diets. But it doesn't take into account the serving sizes people actually eat and eliminates too many foods for dieters to stick with it. Now Dr. Robert Thompson's breakthrough program uses the glycemic load--the glycemic index adjusted for serving size--to take the GI a step forward. The glycemic load is a more accurate and effective tool in controlling weight and insulin resistance, allowing dieters to eat more foods while still burning fat, cutting cravings, and speeding up their metabolism. Safe, simple, and scientifically proven, it's the smartest weight-loss plan yet.

Book excerpt: This new open access edition supported by the Fragility Fracture Network aims at giving the widest possible dissemination on fragility fracture (especially hip fracture) management and notably in countries where this expertise is sorely needed. It has been extensively revised and updated by the experts of this network to provide a unique and reliable content in one single volume. Throughout the book, attention is given to the difficult question of how to provide best practice in countries where the discipline of geriatric medicine is not well established and resources for secondary prevention are scarce. The revised and updated chapters on the epidemiology of hip fractures, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, surgery, anaesthesia, medical management of frailty, peri-operative complications, rehabilitation and nursing are supplemented by six new chapters. These include an overview of the multidisciplinary approach to fragility fractures and new contributions on pre-hospital care, treatment in the emergency room, falls prevention, nutrition and systems for audit. The reader will have an exhaustive overview and will gain essential, practical knowledge on how best to manage fractures in elderly patients and how to develop clinical systems that do so reliably.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential new volume in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series, published under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, provides a thorough overview of the unique physiologic characteristics, responsiveness to training, and possible health hazards involved in the training, coaching, and medical care of young athletes. Intense involvement in competitive sports often begins during childhood. During adolescence, many athletes reach their peak performance and some may participate in World Championships and Olympic Games at a relatively young age. The Young Athlete presents the available information relevant to exercise and training in youth, reviewed and summarized by authors who are recognized as leaders in their respective fields. The Young Athlete is subdivided into seven parts covering: the physiologic bases of physical performance in view of growth and development; trainability and the consequences of a high level of physical activity during childhood and adolescence for future health; the epidemiology of injuries, their prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation; non-orthopedic health concerns including the pre-participation examination; psychosocial issues relevant to young athletes; diseases relevant to child and adolescent athletes; the methodology relevant to the assessment of young athletes. This valuable reference summarizes a large database of information from thousands of studies and is especially relevant to sports physicians, pediatricians, general practitioners, physical therapists, dietitians, coaches, students, and researchers in the exercise sciences.
