Measuring Energy Expenditure Using Cycle Ergometer

When an individual engages in physical activity, it decreases the sedentary life, promotes healthy emotional well being while maintaining a healthy body weight. Physical fitness is very important in order to be fit an individual must us proper nutrition. The effect various based on the nutrients that affect the body. When the body needs to repair and grow it uses protein. The body uses carbohydrates during physical activity as an energy source. When an individual is fit the body uses its nutrition to help heal and main certain hydration when conducting physical activity. Healthy physical activity helps the individual sleepy at night, possible live longer, feel better, healthy weight.

Insufficient physical activity is one the leading risk factors for global mortality. Physical activity not only contributes to wellbeing, it is essential for good health. Increasing physical activity levels can help prevent or manage many conditions and diseases; this includes coronary heart disease, diabetes, some cancers and obesity along with improving mental health. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), physical activity is any bodily movement by muscles that requires energy expenditure.

     Physical activity has been defined as “bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure”. There is no debate about the value

Many find it interesting how the media portrays exercising and dieting. America’s concern about obesity has shocked many organizations, programs, and citizens to take demand. Most seems to know how to take action, for example, they know to monitor calorie intake and exercise daily. However, these ideas have been slower to reinforce. The print media have a big part in this because the consumers read about the actions taken by models and they try to also reinforce those things but, it does not give the consumers the results they hope for, so there is often lost hope. Many think that because the text states that physical activity is the same as working out. Physical Activity is defined as “any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that require energy expenditure.” Exercising is defined as “physical activity that is done in order to become stronger and healthier.” Colleagues at The National Academies stated that there has been an overall decrease in physical activity during the past half century in the United States.

Exercise not only gives us greater strength and fitness but also increase our well-being and keeps us healthy. It might not be so today, but sometime in the future, most of us realize how important it is to take care of their body and keep it in shape.

The purpose of the work is basically to get patients are not active physically to become active. This would be suitable for audiences that have diabetes that are interested in becoming healthier. The information is this article is relevant to the topic because it talks about monitoring glucose in those that are exercising. The unique feature about this study is that it explains and gives us descriptive design of what will be used to describe physical activity patterns and glucose levels for 72 hours in nine exercising adults that have type 2 diabetes. The strength in this article is that it is positive in trying to find ways to keep diabetic patients healthy.

At California State University, Northridge, the Applied Fitness Lab acted as an apparatus to assist students and clients in addressing and understanding how physical activity can alter health risks, such as physical inactivity and obesity. In the modern working environment, many professions require employees to work behind desks for many hours. Therefore, it reduces the amount of physical activity that a person will receive during their life causing an increase in physical inactivity. A person is classified as physically inactive when they do not meet the recommended level of normal physical activity. Current research suggests that physical inactivity is inversely correlated with the risk obesity (Pradinuk, Chanoine, Goldman, 2011). Obesity, is a result of physical inactivity in large body populations, is a growing health risk factor globally and is linked to many chronic diseases such as high blood pressure or increase risk of heart attacks. Due to the knowledge of these health risks, the purpose of the Applied Fitness Lab is to improve the health of campus staffs by introducing and implementing physical activity through group exercises or one-on-one training to their working schedules.

Many people who have a lot of fat accumulation suffer from decreased activity as it is easy for them to tire post very simple and basic activities. This happens because the body weight is too much for the bones to handle and they start to hurt after some time creating the need to rest.

Obesity is not just a problem in our country, but worldwide. Even though it is well known how important it is to be physically active, children these days are less active than ever before (Nemet, 2016). Decline in physical activity is the main factor of childhood weight problem (Nemet, 2016). According to Nemet (2016), research indicates that obese children are more likely to become obese adults. One of the reasons that physical activity is decreased is an increase in sedentary activity such a use of computers, smartphones, watching television, and playing video games.

Intensity that is proposed to be appropriate for fat-reducing is 50-70%. The researchers would closely monitor the participants during workouts to make sure they maintain this intensity. Heart rates were generally kept ≥160 beats/min. Exercises performed were running, jogging, bicycle pedaling, and swimming.

Health is about creating a balance between input and output of energy and materials that are necessary for normal body growth, and the purpose of health is having a positive outlook for further survival. Abnormal nutrition practices have a significant role in an increase in non-communicable diseases. Todays, one of the biggest health concern is obesity that unfortunately is leading causes of death. According to World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is unusual or extreme fat added that may impair health (Torres-Fuentes, Schellekens, Dinan, & Cryan, 2015). Indeed, obesity or overweight happens once energy stored in the body as fat tissue and becomes very large, but many people who suffer from weight gain believe the body 's metabolism or slow metabolism are the main cause of this problem. Unfortunately, more than 1.4 billion adults and 40 million children in the world are overweight than the normal, healthy weight (Raine et al., 2014). There is the multifactorial reason, such as environmental, genetic, disease, nutrition, and physical activity which has a significant impact on overweight. This study was aimed to investigate the relation between nutrition, physical activity, and obesity has been set.

Sedentary behaviour is often linked with many negative health repercussions such as an increased risk to certain chronic diseases. These include obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Overall, sedentary behaviour is a major risk factor for inadequate health and an increased mortality rate (Wilmot, 2014). Sedentary behaviour spans from many daily functions such as sitting down, traveling in a car or screen time which refers to spending time on a screen based device (Zoeller, 2008). Sedentary behaviour is defined by performing low energy expenditure activities for a prolonged duration. If an individual is performing activities in which the metabolic equivalent is less than 1.5x their resting metabolic rate, they are

According to Martin Gibali (2012), professor of the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University, “the precise type and dose of exercise needed to accrue health benefits is a contentious issue with no clear consensus recommendations for the prevention of inactivity-related disorders

There has always been a constant obsession with weight loss. Every one wants the perfect body and wants to achieve it the fastest way possible. But what is the best solution to accomplish or goal? Exercise is the main focus to everything; since the body is like a complex machine that needs to be treated to physical activity, so that the body does not run into health complications. The benefits of exercise can improve your mental health, heart and weight and of course give you a longer life.

Exercise is one of the most important factors in a persons’ life. Physical activity, or the lack of it, can result in a person having a healthy life or cause them to have diabetes. The benefits of exercise are countless. The positive health results, the improvement in attitude, even better academic performance are all factors which make not exercising inexcusable.
