Annotated Bibliography: Exercise Medicine Is Regenerative Medicine

In this assignment I will be reviewing the different effects of exercise on the body system including the acute and long term using the pre-exercise, exercise and post-exercise physiological data which I collected based on interval and continuous training method. I will also be including the advantages and disadvantages of these, also the participants’ strengths and areas where they can improve on.

Exercise Physiology is a course that is required to be taken for exercise science majors. It involves studying the adaptive and physiological responses to exercise that occurs in the human body. This course also talks about the effect

Athletics is a broad field that covers a variety of recreational activities. Involved in these recreational activities are athletes that are expected to be physically prepared to perform up to a specific skill level. The field of strength and conditioning is one that has existed for quite some time, but has been semi-controversial due to the dynamics that are incorporated into a strength and conditioning program. Most of the controversy is based on the belief that strength and conditioning alters the natural growth of an athlete. In fact, it does not. Instead of focusing on the negatives that can be so easily identified from any in physical performance improvement, I plan to focus the attention towards the athletic benefits of strength and conditioning.

Per alumni studies, students who took more physical education courses while in college were healthier seven to eleven years later than those who took fewer classes. Through this statistic, it becomes obvious that physical education matters. Staying fit not only affects your health, it also affects your education. In order to learn, we as students at Colorado State University must stay healthy. The two go hand in hand. Professor Cardinal summed it up perfectly by saying “You cannot function optimally unless you are healthy – healthy to learn and healthy to work. If we educate only the mind and neglect the body, we are doing our students a disservice” (Nierenberg,

“To maximize the training opportunities, activities that more effectively improve athletic performance are critical. Because sport is a multi-dimensional endeavor, athletes may consider taking part in activities that optimize the specific dimensions of fitness as well as the aspects of the multiple dimension of performance. (Crawford).”

Studies have connected exercise to better health in many ways, but motivation to do physical activity for college students is lacking. College students are in a critical period of their lives which determines their likelihood to become obese in the future. (Egli 2011) A study was done to see what motivated students to participate in physical activity to find a way to encourage more physical activity in college students. Demographics were the indipendent variables in the study to create less biased data that would show how people are motivated on average. Students were recrutied from mantitory physical activity classes at a southeasstern university. The survey was voluntary and no follow up was done with non respondents. Sources of motivation were found in this order, most influential first: positive health, ill-health avoidance,

With performance analysts, sports scientists, and physiotherapists growing in demand, with the ever more focused objectives within the sporting world on achieving the best results possible, I am eager to study a subject that is continually flourishing in opportunities. With the margins between victory and defeat becoming ever more miniscule the necessity to find that two percent increase in speed or a set of practices to improve the task cohesion of a team is a demand placed on many managers and scientists. With an overwhelming amount of world records, this summer’s Olympics highlighted just how these scientists are continuing to push our athlete’s potentials further than ever thought possible. With the technology and understanding of the human anatomy advancing, it is an exciting time to be completing a degree in Sport Science and I look forward

“Redefining Fitness for Health and Fitness Professionals” was published in Lorman, Mississippi in 2001 by Alcorn State University. The article was written by Ph.D A. Akande and his colleagues, C. Van Wyk, and J. Osagie. The twelve pages are filled with significant research and include more than twenty outside sources. “College Eating and Fitness 101: A Guide for College Students” was published in Boston in 2005 by The Center for Young Women’s Health. The article was written by the Children’s Hospital League. The attractive couple pages contain interesting facts and appealing graphics. Although both articles are written in concern with fitness, the context of the two varies in accordance with their targeted audiences.

College-aged men and women are old enough to understand the implications of how their current health can impact their future, and they are young enough to change their exercise habits to prevent a smorgasbord of potentially detrimental side effects of poor lifestyle choices. Physical activity provides both physical and mental health benefits for those who choose to participate in it. It can allow a person to control their weight, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, strengthen both bones and muscles, and can help to keep thinking, learning, and judgement skills sharp; it can reduce the risk of depression and even allow someone to sleep better. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015) An article from the Journal of American College health surveyed 738 college students aged 18 to 27; in part to assess their physical activity. The study found that the participants reported physical activity less than 3 days per week. (Huang, Harris, Lee, Nazir, Born, & Kaur, 2003) It is important to understand both the benefits and barriers to physical activity in college-aged people so that they can be better provided with information on how to improve their quality of life both now and in the future. The purpose of this study is to better understand how the perceived benefits and barriers of physical activity play into college-aged persons’ decisions of whether or not to be physically active.

As physical education (P.E.) is slowly weeding out of universities and colleges, students will be able to exhale, and not just while weightlifting. They will be able to exhale a breath of relief, since they will not have to stress about meeting a P.E. requirement. While some four-year colleges still make P.E. a requirement, the percentage is down from ninety-seven percent in 1920 to thirty-nine percent in 2012 (Beene). Physicians or personal trainers would probably side with the P.E. requisite due to more than seventy-four percent of men and sixty-four percent of women are considered overweight or obese in the United States (National Institutes of Health). On the other hand, healthy habits should start at a young age; not when they become adults and not in the college arena. Even I, as a “workout buff” and wife of a personal trainer, trust that a student should have the authority to make a choice, a student’s feelings should be taken into account, and a college’s priority should be academics.

The benefits of physical exercise in humans far outweighs the harmful effects associated with exercise. A prescription of physical activity has been known to delay the onset or prevention of many chronic diseases. An improvement in heart function, lower blood pressure and improve functional capacity is noticed after just a few weeks of exercising. Physical activity will also result in an increase of lean muscle mass, promote weight maintenance, increased flexibility, and a generally stronger more fit individual. Conversely, exercise when preformed strenuously or obsessively can counteract such positive effects, bringing up some issues like oxidative stresses, injuries, and

As the elderly population in the society keeps growing, exercise physiologists would continue to witness an increased demand of their service. Most of our modern lifestyle puts limitations to how much physical activity people get engaged with. This is where an exercise physiologist comes in; he helps them build solid programs that help them stay fit. Ultimately, this would result in the rise of various health conditions receiving treatment through the use of exercise. Some of the medical conditions that can be addressed include high blood pressure, obesity and

As an Exercise Physiologist student studying the prevention and management of chronic disease and injuries through the use of physical activity, I feel it is important to understand what physical activity
