The Negative Impacts Of Good Activity

Me: As I performed the posture test on myself I already knew that I would have proper posture. Due to the fact that when I was younger, I looked in the mirror and noticed that I had a slouchy posture. I had (Lordosis) and an anterior pelvic tilt, which made me look awful from a side point of view. I wanted to fix my posture and learned that I had weak abdominal muscles and tight hamstrings along with weak gluteus maximus muscles. As I learned how to fix my problem, I began doing exercises for those muscles for flexibility and strength gains. For my exercises in detail I began standing for a long period of time and would flex my gluteus maximus muscles and keep them tight for a period of time to strengthen them which would be for a few minutes. This fixed the slight curve in my lower back. The next step I performed was the same as with my gluteus maximus muscles but for my abs which helped keep a good posture naturally without thinking about my posture deviations and how to fix them. I could now begin to stand naturally with a good posture. The last step I did was stand against a wall with my back and neck flat against the wall and I would press my tongue against the top of my mouth to

4. Posture. As stated previously, do not slump because that particular posture creates difficulty in supporting your weight (extremely important to remember). Also, apply posture while walking or picking up any objects--use your knees (back

This is the most effective alternative to soothe neck and shoulder pain and also mid and lower back discomfort.

This technological advancement facilitates the potential use of a \ac{WHTD} as a solution to relieve the burden on the health care system. The \ac{WHTD} refers to the devices which are capable of monitoring the physiological signs (e.g., heart activity, \ac{ECG}, \ac{EMG}, blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.) of the human body and its surrounding environment (e.g., light, humidity, temperature, etc.) using a number of sensors located on or/and in the human body using \ac{BAN} \cite{movassaghi2014wireless,bangash2014survey,jovanov2011body}. This has been employed in various applications, such as military and sports training, \ac{HCI}, entertainment (interactive gaming), home and office automation, environmental monitoring, and \ac{VR}. It has also shown a tremendous potential as a personal healthcare system, which can provide services such as remote patient and elderly people monitoring, activity monitoring, rehabilitation, and disability assistance services as these devices can monitor health status seamlessly in real-time without disturbing users daily life. Consequently, major \ac{ICT} companies are introducing various wearable devices and services with Personalised Health Data management systems. Apple iWatch with HealthKit, Samsung Galaxy fit and Samsung Digital Health, and Google Fit are some of the

The new “normal” in America requires most people to live a lifestyle that is unnatural in regards to human biomechanics, that is, to be in a seated in a sedentary state for extended periods of time. America is gradually losing the correct upright human posture and suffering the health effects caused by prolonged sitting, hunching or crouching due to daily job requirements and lifestyle choices. For the purpose of this paper the phrase “seated culture” will be defined by these widespread habits of chronic sitting in the United States.

You should also make sure that you feet are at least shoulder width apart when you stand; slightly larger stances tend to be more comfortable and relieve pressure on your back.

The laptop is a perfect example of a consumer technology that affects the body’s look and function. Computer use often involves sitting in long stretches at a time staring at the monitor. Often times, incorrect posture while using this technology can cause major back, neck, and shoulder problems including chronic back pain and hunching. According to University of Pennsylvania’s Environmental Health and Radiation Safety program, numerous factors like lumbar support, wrist support, keyboard angle, and placement of the mouse come into play while trying to prevent any back/neck pain or long term injuries. A similar set of rules applies to other instances of technology use including at the couch while watching television, at the game room while playing video games, and on-the-go while looking down at a phone screen. Another way technology curtails physical well-being is through promoting a sedentary lifestyle. Nowadays, it is more convenient to play games or converse on the computer, making physical movement and interaction more uncommon. Exercise rates are thought to be reducing as time progresses due to the increasing reach of technology, especially as it spreads to developing countries and converts people who conventionally live an active life. A study published by the American Journal of Medicine suggests that obesity is linked more with lack of exercise than diet in most individuals. This shift to

It is important to be good because the consequences of being good outweigh the consequences of being bad. Being good or bad reflects on how people view us and the opinions they will place on people. It is important because you will not feel guilty and shameful on the actions taken that make you feel that way. If you follow the norms of everyday society, you are considered being good and people will not take action against you. People have a sense of duty to do for others whenever people are in need of help. If a person does something socially unacceptable to today’s norm and standards, people will take action that will prevent that person from completing whatever it is they are doing. Some people believe in a religion that is all about being good and encourages good acts and behavior. For example, Catholics follow the Ten Commandments such as, “do not steal”, and “do not kill”.

Leaders walk around this earth attempting to make an impact, but they always question if they are really doing an effective job in the back of their mind. With the article published through Harvard Business Review, “The Trickle-Down Effect of Good (and Bad) Leadership,” by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman discussed the results of an experiment testing if leadership behaviors were contagious, just like emotions. Their purpose was to spread the word that a leader’s impact is greater than one might perceive as and that they do make an impact in this world. Overall, the authors supported their results as well as explained what their results mean, offering their insight with the use of ethos, logos, and pathos and the tone of insightfulness and reflectiveness.

Joint mobility is another aspect of aging that can affect how one operates in the workplace. Research shows “that about 45% of the population aged 65-74 years” (Mital, 353) report having arthritis. Arthritis can greatly limit reaching, grasping, and bending, obstructing the functions of the afflicted person. In the workplace, this would affect one’s ability to easily use a computer keyboard. A solution to this problem would be to provide alternative input devices. Finally, changes in heights may be necessary to accommodate the older workers. As people age, their body size changes as well. Computer screens should be adjustable in height to provide optimum viewing for all, not just the elderly. Adjustable seats and desks would also benefit all workers involved.
