This book was released on 2015 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Obesity among women is a public health problem in the United States. Pregnancy may be one of the causes of this, with 56% of women of childbearing age being overweight or obese. Excessive weight gain during pregnancy and postpartum weight retention may increase a woman's risk of obesity and chronic disease later in life. Moderate calorie restriction and exercise interventions have been shown to reduce body weight and improve body composition during the postpartum period. While weight loss interventions have been successful, high attrition rates limit the widespread effectiveness of these interventions. Furthermore, there is a lack of research examining the effects of a weight loss program on cardiometabolic risk factors in this population. Therefore, the primary aim of the studies in this dissertation were: 1) To determine the effect of a diet and exercise intervention on weight, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors, 2) to improve lifestyle behaviors through improved diet quality and cardiovascular fitness, and 3) to describe the relationship between chronic inflammation and bone mineral density (BMD) in overweight and obese postpartum women. The first study concluded that a home-based diet and exercise program resulted in greater reductions in weight, waist circumference, sagittal diameter, and abdominal fat mass compared to a control group. Additionally, the intervention resulted in a significant improvement in cardiovascular fitness. The second study concluded that the intervention improved triglyceride concentrations, decreased insulin resistance, and improved metabolic syndrome risk factors. Finally, the third study concluded that the intervention resulted in less loss of BMD at the total body and hip and less loss of BMC at the hip, lumbar spine, and femoral neck after controlling for lactation status and weeks postpartum at baseline. Change in cardiovascular fitness was a predictor of change in total hip and femoral neck BMD, while change in inflammation was a predictor of change in total body BMD. These results suggest that a home-based, diet and exercise intervention is effective in improving body composition, cardiovascular fitness, and some cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese postpartum women. Additionally, moderate aerobic activity may attenuate bone loss during a weight loss program."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2022-10-26 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of a well-received, practice oriented, multidisciplinary book filling the gap between evidence-based knowledge on the benefits of physical activity and exercise during pregnancy and postpartum and the implementation of exercise programs and related health promotion measures in pregnant women. Readers will find up-to-date evidence on the psychological, social, physiological, body composition, musculoskeletal, and biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy and their implications for physical activity and exercise. Further, the authors equip the reader with the latest guidelines and detailed description of exercise testing, prescription, selection and adaptation for pregnant and postpartum women, including those with clinical conditions. This new edition has been thoroughly updated, and includes additional chapters focused on the pedagogical intervention in pre and postnatal exercise programs, exercise prescription and adaptation during postpartum and diet recommendations for the pregnant exerciser and athlete. Written by recognized experts in the field, the book aims to allay undue fears regarding the consequences of exercising during pregnancy. Moreover, it provides medical, sports, and fitness professionals both with the knowledge and the practical expertise needed to offer an optimal guidance on exercising to pregnant exercisers and athletes.
Book Synopsis The Effects of Energy Restriction and Exercise on Body Composition and Bone Mineral Density in Overweight Lactating Women by : Heather L. Colleran
Download or read book The Effects of Energy Restriction and Exercise on Body Composition and Bone Mineral Density in Overweight Lactating Women written by Heather L. Colleran and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lactation is a time of rapid bone loss due to hyperprolactinemia, amenorrhea, and increased bone turnover, especially in the lumbar spine and hip. Childbearing may be one of the causes for the high prevalence (59%) of overweight and obesity among women. Exercise, combined with a modest restriction in energy intake, has been shown in non-lactating women to improve body composition and protect bone during periods of weight loss. However, there is a paucity of research on exercise and dietary interventions in lactating women aimed at promotion of bone health and weight loss. Therefore, the primary objectives of the two studies in this dissertation were: 1) to describe the changes in dietary intake, bone turnover markers, and hormones related to lactation and exercise, as well as predict changes in bone mineral density (BMD) during lactation in women whom had undertaken resistance exercise, and 2) to promote lifestyle changes through a home-based nutrition and exercise intervention targeting overweight lactating postpartum women. The first study concluded exercise and a higher dietary calcium intake were inversely related to bone loss during lactation, when controlling for parity. Additionally, an increase in bone formation markers predicted an increase of lumbar spine BMD, whereas increased levels of estradiol and IGF-1 were positively related to total body BMD. The second study results suggest moderate energy restriction and resistance training are safe methods for weight loss in overweight fully breastfeeding women with no adverse affects on BMD and infant growth. Additionally, the use of MyPyramid Menu Planner appeared to be a novel tool to aid in weekly individual dietary counseling and weight loss. This dissertation research was the first to examine the effects of an exercise and weight loss intervention on attenuation of lactation-induced bone loss in overweight women. The results suggest moderate energy restriction, walking, and resistance training are safe methods for weight loss in overweight fully breastfeeding women with no adverse affects on BMD and infant growth."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
Book Synopsis Body Composition and Physical Activity Maintenance One Year After a 12-week Exercise Intervention in Women by : Clarissa Marie Cabbage
Download or read book Body Composition and Physical Activity Maintenance One Year After a 12-week Exercise Intervention in Women written by Clarissa Marie Cabbage and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercise interventions often result in less than predicted weight loss or even weight gain in some individuals, with over half of the weight that is lost often being regained within one year. The current study hypothesized that one year following a 12-week supervised exercise intervention, women who continued to exercise regularly but initially gained weight would lose the weight gained, reverting back to baseline with no restoration of set-point, or continue to lose weight if weight was initially lost. Conversely, those who discontinued purposeful exercise at the conclusion of the study were expected to continue to gain or regain weight.

Book Synopsis Impact of Structured Exercise on Daily Physical Activity in Overweight and Obese Adults by : Amanda Leigh Smith
Download or read book Impact of Structured Exercise on Daily Physical Activity in Overweight and Obese Adults written by Amanda Leigh Smith and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structured exercise is a common intervention for overweight and obese adults but is generally not effective for weight loss due to compensatory changes in behavior as a result of participation in an exercise program. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of participating in structured exercise on daily and weekly physical activity, changes in body composition and aerobic fitness. A total of 10 overweight/obese women participated in an employee wellness weight loss program two times per week for eight weeks. At baseline and last week of the program all participants underwent measurements for physical activity, body mass index (BMI), body fat, circumferences, and VO2max. There were no significant changes in BMI, body composition and VO2max following this 8-week program. It is possible that this is due to either a decrease in spontaneous daily physical activity or increased caloric intake as a result of participation in this program.

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.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Antenatal Exercise in Overweight and Obese Women on Maternal and Offspring Health by : Sumundu Nimali Seneviratne

This book was released on 2015 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Overweight and obesity in pregnancy is associated with adverse health outcomes in both the mother and the offspring. It is not well established whether antenatal exercise can improve these outcomes. Hypothesis We hypothesized that antenatal exercise in overweight and obese women could improve offspring and maternal health and metabolic milieu, and protect offspring from adverse programming effects. Methods/Design: A parallel two-arm randomised controlled trial was conducted in healthy non-smoking overweight and obese women (BMI≥25kg/m2) with a singleton pregnancy. Participants were randomised at 20 weeks of gestation to an intervention group (who underwent a home-based, moderate-intensity stationary cycling programme) or a control group (no exercise intervention). The primary trial outcome was birth weight and secondary outcomes included perinatal complications, neonatal body composition, maternal physical health (weight gain, fitness and body composition), quality of life, and pregnancy and delivery complications. Maternal and offspring (cord) blood metabolic markers were also measured. Primary analysis was based on intention-to-treat, using analysis of covariance regression models to evaluate differences between intervention and control groups, adjusting for pre-specified covariates. Results Seventy-five enrolled participants were randomised to intervention (n=38) or control (n=37) groups. Offspring birth weight was similar between groups (adjusted mean difference 104 grams, 95% CI -116 to 324, p=0.35). Maternal aerobic fitness improved following the intervention but there were no differences in maternal weight gain, quality of life, pregnancy outcomes, or postnatal maternal body composition between groups. Exercise compliance ranged from 0-85 % (mean 33%). Offspring neonatal adiposity and perinatal outcomes were similar. There was an increase in bone mineral content in offspring in the intervention group, and male offspring had increased adiposity compared to gender-matched controls. There were no differences in maternal metabolic markers between groups. Offspring in the intervention group had lower cord blood interleukin-6 levels, and male offspring also had reduced insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 levels, while other markers were similar between groups. Conclusions: These study finding suggest that non-weight-bearing antenatal exercise does not appear to improve short term maternal and offspring outcomes. However, improvement in maternal fitness and differences in offspring body composition and metabolic markers indicate the potential for long-term health effects. This needs to be established by further research.
Book Synopsis Weight Gain During Pregnancy by : National Research Council
Download or read book Weight Gain During Pregnancy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As women of childbearing age have become heavier, the trade-off between maternal and child health created by variation in gestational weight gain has become more difficult to reconcile. Weight Gain During Pregnancy responds to the need for a reexamination of the 1990 Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy. It builds on the conceptual framework that underscored the 1990 weight gain guidelines and addresses the need to update them through a comprehensive review of the literature and independent analyses of existing databases. The book explores relationships between weight gain during pregnancy and a variety of factors (e.g., the mother's weight and height before pregnancy) and places this in the context of the health of the infant and the mother, presenting specific, updated target ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and guidelines for proper measurement. New features of this book include a specific range of recommended gain for obese women. Weight Gain During Pregnancy is intended to assist practitioners who care for women of childbearing age, policy makers, educators, researchers, and the pregnant women themselves to understand the role of gestational weight gain and to provide them with the tools needed to promote optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Book excerpt: Influence of Resistance Exercises on Infant Body Fat Composition in Overweight/Obese Women By Jaclyn Ruemmler May, 2018 Director of Thesis: Dr. Linda May Major Department: Kinesiology PURPOSE: Research has conveyed that aerobic exercise during pregnancy is beneficial for overweight/obese women and their infants, however, resistance exercise has not been studied thoroughly in the overweight/obese population. Resistance training interventions have been conducted with normal weight pregnant women and they have been deemed safe and beneficial, therefore this intervention should be applied to the overweight/obese population. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of resistance exercises during pregnancy on infant body composition. METHODS: Participants were randomized into two groups, resistance and non-exercising control, and trained from 16 weeks gestational age until delivery. The resistance group participated in three 50-55-minute sessions per week targeting all major muscle groups. After birth, one-month body composition measures consisted of BMI, skinfold and circumference measurements, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Independent t-test were performed to determine differences between groups and like-genders. Correlation looked for relationships between infant variables and average METS, gestational weight gain (GWG), and pre-pregnancy BMI. Multiple linear regression was performed controlling for maternal BMI and infant gender; another linear regression was performed controlling for GWG, infant gender, and average METs. RESULTS: We analyzed data from women randomized to resistance exercise (n=7) or usual care controls (n=7). There was a 3.6% increase in lean mass volume for the infants of resistance exercisers compared to controls. Trends of lower subcutaneous fat volume, visceral/retro fat volume, and total fat volume were found in infants of resistance exercisers versus controls. Correlation measures conveyed a moderate positive relationship between GWG and one-month weight (p=0.09). The multiple linear regression measure determined infant gender is a significant predictor for lean mass volume (adj. R2=0.21; p=0.03) and one-month weight (adj. R2= 0.18; 0.04). CONCLUSION: The trends of higher lean mass volume with lower subcutaneous fat volume, visceral fat volume, and total fat volume in infants of resistance exercisers compared to infants of controls is promising for future investigators. Determining the direct response of resistance exercise on infant body composition from only overweight/obese mothers should be conducted to help provide more answers.
Book Synopsis Effects of Diet and Exercise on Maternal Body Composition and Breast Milk Components by : Melanie Joy Bopp
Download or read book Effects of Diet and Exercise on Maternal Body Composition and Breast Milk Components written by Melanie Joy Bopp and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are essential for infant growth and development, and amounts in breast milk depend on maternal diet and body stores. Because exercise increases mobilization and utilization of fatty acids, maternal activity may also influence the amount of LCPUFA in breast milk. In addition, exercise has been shown to improve bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. During lactation, bone turnover is elevated to provide calcium for breast milk. This results in decreased BMD. Therefore, the purpose of these studies was to: 1) investigate the effects of diet and exercise on fatty acid concentrations in maternal plasma and breast milk, and 2) determine the effects of a specific resistance and aerobic training program and dietary intake on BMD and bone turnover during lactation. In the first study, LCPUFA in plasma and breast milk were measured at 12 weeks postpartum in exercising and sedentary women. Dietary intake was recorded for three days. A subsample of women participated in exercise and rest sessions to examine the acute effects of exercise on breast milk LCPUFA. In the second study, whole body, lumbar spine (LS) and hip BMD and bone mineral content (BMC), and bone turnover markers were measured before and after a 16-wk intervention in breastfeeding women who either participated in a specific resistance and aerobic training program or were sedentary. Dietary intake and body composition were also assessed in all women. In the first study, there were no differences in essential fatty acid intake between the two groups. Intake of linoleic acid (LA) was 11.05 " 1.39 and 9.34 " 0.97 and α-linolenic (LNA) was 0.96 " 0.12 and 0.82 " 0.09 grams/day for the sedentary and exercise groups, respectively. No differences were found in LCPUFA in plasma and breast milk between groups. After 30 minutes of exercise, there was a trend for an increase in LA and LNA. In the second study, exercising women lost significantly less LS BMD and LS BMC (p
