Cardiorespiratory fitness

to improvements in physical and mental health during childhood development (Johnson, 2009). For example, cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal fitness in physical health, as well as self-perception and cognitive in mental health are all enhanced (Taylor et al., 1985). Despite these benefits, children with disabilities are disposed to a more sedentary lifestyle; hence have lower levels of fitness and mental health, than their peers without disabilities (Crawford et…

Physical activity is the intentional, organised and purposive driven way to enhance particular physical skills or overall physical fitness (Booth, Gordon, Carlson, Hamilton, 2000). Many studies propose that physical activity and exercise are able to decrease the risk of undesirable consequences related with advancing aging (Myers, Prakash, Froelicher, Do, Partington, Atwood, 2002, pg. 794). Advanced aging or senescence, has been known to increase the risk of chronic conditions and diseases such…

Netball requires a base level of fitness and skill level for sound performance so a player can perform tasks without onset fatigue. In a game of netball an athlete's body needs to be able to provide and sustain energy aerobically. This is dependant upon the individual's cardiovascular system to transport and efficiently use oxygen during the sustained exercise. In specific, aerobic training is significant for netball players due the stamina required to maintain intensity throughout the course…

Sigal. Dr. Yarley’s research has focused on providing more evidence that supports the combination of resistance and aerobic exercising as a benefit two blood glucose control. Sigal summarizes by stating the following, “The improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness with aerobic training may be a better predictor of changes in HbA1c than improvements in strength” (Boule,…

following the Paleo guidelines. The Paleo diet and Crossfit exercise program resulted in significant decreases in body weight and body fat percentage, while drastically increasing maximal oxygen consumption. However, while the subjects improved cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition, all blood lipid measurements were either unmoved or negatively effected. I agree with the researcher’s conclusions because the experiments and measurements match what he is saying. I think that a…
