Only recently, due to the comforts of the industrialized world, has exercise’s value been fully realized. This statement combined with a plethora of scientific research from credible sources such as the CDC, demonstrating the importance of exercise and the contrast in health between those who partake in exercise and those who do not, appeals to the reader’s logic. The historical context and the modern scientific research working in tandem allow the reader to deduce the importance of exercise and its health implications, and by association, the importance of a pill that could replace…
The purpose of this paper was to address the challenges of how the field of kinesiology can exploit the advantages of multiple scholarly emphases while minimizing the disadvantages. The author claims that this is important to the absence or presence of agendas determines the coherence or fragmentation of both the department and the field. Due to the multiple agendas immediately raise doubts about the potential of a single department or even the field at large to fill these agendas successfully or even adequately. The author expresses concern to the de-emphasize and elimination for practice and performance of physical activity in kinesiology departments.…
To ensure reasonable data, the result were recorded before and after the workout of four different males and four different females. Based on the results, it was concluded that during exercise cardio function would increase due to the fact that the body is using more energy and oxygen. Also it was concluded that gender does play a role in the cardio system. Based on the overall results, the hypothesis that exercise does play a role in heart rate and function was…
Dr. Hambrecht's study is about how excerise can help your heart more than a heart medical procedure. The study's says that if people get at least 30 minutes of moderate excerise like brisk walking for five days a week that it will help your heart more than a Angioplasties. This is because Angioplasties only help with opening arteries, while excerise can give you that and a lot of other health benifits. However, Angioplasties is the easiest opinion, as it only takes one day to do, while excerise takes a couple of week or even months to see the full benefits. However, I still thinkthat Dr. Hambrecht's sutdy will affect one's outlook on excerise.…
Strenuous Exercise Exercises that cause the heart to beat very rapidly, such as running or playing sports, can increase a senior's risk of developing blood clots. A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that intense exercise poses risk for developing venous thrombosis, a condition that causes dangerous blood clots to form. If your loved one has heart problems, walking, swimming or a light aerobics class can provide a good workout without overworking the heart. Isometric Exercises Exercises that cause muscles to tense but not contract can cause blood pressure levels to dangerously rise. Isometric exercises include weight lifting, push-ups, sit-ups and other resistance exercises.…
Endurance exercise increases the ability of skeletal muscle and fat oxidation due to that it increases the mitochondrial density, oxygen delivery to muscle and the activities of the enzymes involved in oxidation (Melanson et al., 2009). The skeletal muscle type I (slow/oxidative) and type II (fast/glycolytic) display differences on the contraction of metabolism and fatigue. Type I muscle fibres have a tremendous capacity for oxidative metabolism, resulting from the significant number of capillaries and Krebs cycle enzymes, which are involved in fatty acid oxidation (Taylor and Bachman, 1999). Type IIa fibres hold the intermediate level of oxidative capacity, which usually overlaps with type I fibres. Type IIb fibres are the almost exclusive reliance on fuel and sugar, glucose and glycogen (Taylor and Bachman, 1999).…
Nutrition is an important aspect of everyone’s lives especially for athletes. The food we eat impacts our strength, training, performance and recovery. (Fitzgibbon, 2017) Rowing is a physically demanding sport due to the need to generate large forces and propel the boat at high speeds. (Mackenzie, 2017)…
Aerobic fitness has been considered a health-related part of physical fitness due to the fact that lower levels of aerobic fitness have been associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality particularly cardiovascular disease. Therefore, increased levels of aerobic fitness have been associated with lower risk of death from all causes and have been associated with higher levels of routine physical activity, which are associated with numerous health benefits. The reason that research studying aerobic fitness is that the evidence that shows the beneficial effects of exercise is scientific and unquestionable, and the benefits of exercise outweigh the risks by far in most people. Also, increased aerobic fitness is…
Cardiovascular fitness is the process in which oxygen is utilized by working the heart and lungs to produce oxygen-rich blood, and transporting it to the muscle tissues within, which the human body then uses it as kinetic energy for physical activities. To maintain a healthy body, regular aerobic exercise like running, swimming, or biking for example, is needed to work all the muscles, and most importantly the heart and lungs. Cardiovascular fitness is essential for weight loss, regulating sugar, lowering cholesterol, releasing happy endorphins, and providing more energy for the person. Many people in our society do not exercise, which then results in obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke, or heart diseases. That is why regular exercise…
A Clinical exercise physiologist is a trained healthcare professional who works with patients with chronic diseases to be able to go through exercise training. Exercise training for patients with a chronic disease has shown to be a therapeutic benefit. Moreover, a clinical exercise physiologist works in a medically supervised environment under a licensed physician. A CEP is either licensed under the state law, holds a minimum of a master’s degree in kinesiology, exercise physiology, movement of science or a professional certification from a type of national organization or it must be equivalent to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). In addition, an individual that holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise movement science, kinesiology, or exercise physiology and is certified as an ACSM Clinical Exercise Specialist is qualified to perform the exercise physiology duties (Chase, 2015).…
Taylor Berger Ms. Lieb Physical Education 30 April 2016 The F.I.T.T. Principle The F.I.T.T. principle is a set of guideline that helps people set up a workout program or routine that adheres to their personal goals and fitness level while helping them get the most out of their routine. The F.I.T.T. principle is used typically for the general public than athletes to get the most beneficial form of a fitness program for each person individually.…
With obesity being a major problem in the United States, there seems to be many answers. Resolutions such as surgery, fad diets, and pills can be effective but often lead to not fixing the main problem. Not changing bad habits are the reason why obesity exists so high in America. Often time habits can come and go , but its when the bad ones stay is when its a problem. However, adding good habits to a routine can help benefit many aspects that the bad habits cannot.…

Overall exercise psychology is an application of psychology to promote, maintain, enhance, and explain parts of exercise. Although there are technically two separate forms of exercise, physical activity and exercise. Physical activity is all bodily movements that cause physical exertion beyond what happens in everyday activities, while exercise is a form of leisure physical activity. Another important part to understanding exercise psychology is knowing that psychology is the mental processes for daily life while exercise science is all sports of sports. The chapter also brings up case study A, B, and C, each one is about an individual and how each one has particular barriers that prevent one another from exercising on a regular basis.…
Our health has many different components; you could be excellent at getting adequate physical fitness and still be unhealthy because you choose to eat nothing but pizza. A few of these components of health include: exercise, consumption, sleep, and genetic factors/risky behaviors. Exercise helps you balance out your calorie intake, in addition the calories you already burn due to body processes. The problem starts where you don’t get enough exercise and choose to eat to the point of gluttony. For my project I choose to walk an extra hour, three days a week, for five weeks.…
