Exercise Referral Foundation Course Assessment 2: Case Study Report

When it came to choosing my classes I had to get a class that was only one credit, however, out of all the choices given to me I decided to take PES100 because I believed that by joining a fitness walking class I will be somewhat active and in hopes also influence my eating habits to healthier choices as I begin college. By choosing this class I also had in mind goals that I planned to achieve once I began. My short term goals were to stop taking the “easy” ways to places, such as driving to places when I can walk to them. This type of activity maybe be small exercise but while also taking this class I know that my habits of choosing the lazy way will soon disappear. For my long term goals, I hope to turn my fitness walking into fitness

The start of my exercise science journey began when I was a little kid. I played sports throughout my childhood and into my senior year of high school but my desire to really exercise started when I went to gym class. I thought our Gym teacher, Mrs. Starnes was the coolest lady and I enjoyed how she could talk about our bodies and knew different activities that got everyone to exercise. Also, I loved watching college football and baseball as a child and remember seeing that when the athletes would get hurt; that they would get help from one or two people who would try to find out the problem and what happened. When I was little, I did not know that the job that I saw on television would be one that I would be aiming towards as I got older.

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

The article, Exercise Program for Older Adults Improves Health and Catches on Around the Country, goes into depth about a program managed by senior services in Seattle, Washington, pertaining to a study on the elderly and the benefits of physical activity. Aging studies have found that people grow old at different rates, but it is inevitable that at some point there will be a decline in endurance, flexibility, balance and strength that occurs from natural aging. This natural occurrence has the possibility of leading to several negative impacts such as diminished independence and vitality which can lead to depression as well as increasing the likelihood of a disabling injury. After years of researching the positive benefits of physical activity, The University of Washington’s Health Promotion Research Center, a CDC Prevention Research Center (PRC), decided that they wanted to offer an exercise program in the setting of a community center. They thought it was wise to offer this program in a community based location like a senior center to promote dissemination and
