Exercise Machine Case

I was able to explore and examine the problem of obesity. Through research and investigation, I was able to see what has already been done in this field and what research needs to be further investigated. I focused on the research purpose of the research proposal. The PICOT format helped to formulate the research question and assisted with an in-depth literature review. Literature reviews were performed on the topic to gain more knowledge. The Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model (HPM) was selected as the theoretical framework which served as a guide for my study. I was able to identify that my research needed an experimental design. Sample size, as well as the measurement strategies, were identified. Finally, I was able to learn and practice to calculate and analyze data using the help of the statistical program such as

Weight management can be assisted through improvement in food and medical stuff, physical activity or behavioral change, with a combination of all three being most effective. Where possible, increased physical activity should be adopted, with 150-300 minutes of moderate activity, or 75-150 minutes of vigorous activity each week, which has been associated with improved health outcomes, irrespective of weight loss. The level of physical activity recommended will be dependent on an individual’s BMI, fitness levels, commodities and age.(Prof.hankey (2006))

Throughout this paper you will find that it is going to be discussing many things. Some of those things are to describe a current health problem or nutritional need that I may be experiencing, four nutritional or physical exercise goals, the actions taken to meet each goal, the anticipated setbacks or difficulties and the approaches to overcome them, the outcomes by which to measure success, evidence of the plans effectiveness by addressing the identified problem or need, and the evaluation of potential health risks that may develop if the plan is not implemented. So basically this paper is going to be about a realistic nutrition and exercise plan that best suits me.

We did things like jog around the track field; walk up and down stairs and also the treadmill. We also worked with partners in this lab, which was a good experience. In addition, it was good to know about our own caloric expenditure, however accurate it is, so that we can start living a healthier living after looking at how long it takes to burn a chipotle

Step 2 identifies the percentage of unplanned weight loss and enables a score to be obtaioned.

Accordingly, a recent analysis by Prentice and Jebb (4) has emphasized the contribution of sedentariness to the increased prevalence of overweight in the United Kingdom. Despite these observations, the contribution of exercise to the prevention and treatment of obesity is still perceived as trivial by many health professionals. The perception of many of them was recently well summarized by Garrow (5) who stated that exercise is a remarkably ineffective means of achieving weight loss in obese people, mainly because their exercise tolerance is so low that the level of physical activity that they can sustain makes a negligible contribution to total energy expenditure. When one looks at the currently available literature, it is difficult to disagree with this statement. Indeed, numerous studies have demonstrated that when exercise is used alone to treat obesity, body weight loss is generally small (6). In addition, the further weight loss generated by adding an exercise program to a reduced-calorie diet is also often small if not insignificant (7). Traditionally, the study of the impact of exercise on body weight control has focused on its energy cost and on the hope that the body energy loss will be equivalent to the cumulative energy cost of exercise sessions. In practical terms, this means for instance that if a physical activity program induces an excess of energy expenditure of 2000 kcal/week, a similar energy deficit should be expected in the active obese

This shows an importance placed more heavily on the diet part of the program than on the exercise. This could have directly affected the results. In relation to the diet, the adults experienced a decrease in their urinary Na/K, their blood pressure, and their total cholesterol when they monitored the intake of healthy foods. Changes were also seen as an increase in their body mass index when they monitored the intake of unhealthy foods. These changes were not as obvious when monitoring exercise results. In regards to exercise, there were no significant correlations between the measured variables and the adults in the study.

The first method used for quantitative reporting, would be as the same as Makarova & Sokolva mentioned, which would be using it as a financial indicator of the overall success of the project (Makarova & Sokolva, 2014). As stated earlier, obese individuals spend about 1,429 dollars more on health care than a normal individual (Finkelstein, Trodgdon, Cohen & Dietz, 2009). If an analyst wanted to take this quantitative method, they would use the amount of money saved per year, over the course of an individual’s life, as a way to show that the evaluation of a plan was successful. To further this, if the surveillance saw one person stay below obese for 25 years, this would yield a total savings of around

Two-hundred overweight/obese individuals will be subjected to my evaluation plan. Upon completion of the nutrition 2-hour workshops and questionnaire about current eating habits, participants will be randomly placed into either the breakfast eating group or the non-breakfast eating group. This randomization will occur via computer programing. Participants will then be measured for weight and height via balance beam and scale stadiometer. Body mass index will be measured via XA model Lunar DPX-IQ. A plastic- flexible tape measure will be used to measure hip circumference.

Subjects were asked to preform 1 rep of maximum weight using bench press, squat, and power clean. amount of weight each participant could finish successfully at the end of the fifth set for each exercise added up for a total number would be the measurable factor in determining any gains. The strength program consisted of a 5 day, 2 hour workouts conducted at 8:00 am each morning Monday through Friday. Lifts performed included bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press, shoulder press, abdominals, squats, hip sled, hamstring raises, power hang cleans, clean and jerk, weighted pullups, lateral pull downs, seated cable rows, upright rows, hammer curls, triceps curl, and seated wall cleans. All exercises were on a daily rotation performed at 60% to 90% of subjects maximum. All training was administered and performed under the supervision of certified professional strength coaches. Compliance with attendance was mandatory and any missed sessions had to be made up the same day. Whole body compositions were determined by using a dual x-ray absorptiometer with up-to-date software. This system measures the amount of fat, fat free soft tissue (muscle) and bone in the body. Then percent body fat was calculated by dividing the amount of measured body fat by the total scanned mass excluding the

Inter-individual variability in the direction and magnitude of weight change in response to supervised exercise-based interventions has been well documented (Table 1). Even in the highly controlled environment of an isolated experimental station over an 84-day period exercise induced weight loss ranged between 3 and 12 kg [48]. More recent studies showed that certain participants even gain weight in response to supervised exercise interventions [42,49]. Accordingly, changes in fat mass and fat free mass have been shown to vary considerably [36,42]. King et al. showed a roughly 50:50 split between so-called “responders” (i.e. participants who achieve expected weight loss) and “non-responders” (i.e. participants who experience a small amount of weight loss or weight gain) [36]. Other studies indicate that a majority of participants displays some form of compensatory adaptation with a ratio of responders to non-responders of 1:2 [46,49]. Even though there is, most likely, considerable inter-individual variability in metabolic adaptations in response to exercise [42,48], success in weight loss interventions has been largely attributed to behavioral compensation such as a decline in non-exercise PA and/or an increase in energy intake [22,36,46]; in addition to an obvious association with adherence to the exercise protocol. In fact, it has been argued that the individual variability in weight loss can be entirely attributed to the variability in non-exercise PA [46,50].

Wide range of policies and guidelines has demonstrated by The National Health and Medical Research Council regarding cultural diversity including the model acknowledge four dimensions of cultural competency including systemic, organisational professional and individual levels in our culturally and linguistically diverse society (NHMRC, 2005). At the systemic level, the model requires policy objectives, procedures, monitoring mechanisms and resource capacity to achieve the outcomes. This is relatively involved of CALD background, exercise deliverer responded in diverse way in meeting the client’s needs. Education is essential to be established and communicated a concept of culturally competent practice and strategies across organisations. At

Five people provided interviews to gather the user observations. All five of these people enjoy exercising on a daily basis. The group is comprised of three men and two women. All were interviewed in person with pen and paper for data gathering. The data that was gathered was then interpreted into needs and from that a survey was developed.

The first argument as to why dieting is more effective for weight loss than exercise is that a good diet is better for overall weight control. A better diet quality has been associated with less weight gain over time and one study looked to compare changes in diet quality in overweight and obese adults during a weight loss intervention (O'brien et al. 2014). Groups consisting of a standard weight loss program, an enhanced version of the weight loss program, and a wait list control group were tested to see if their diet quality improved their weight loss. The results found that the basic weight loss program and the enhanced version of the weight loss program lost  significantly more
