The Studies Of A Targeted Risk Reduction Intervention : A Study

This topic of obesity has been a rising issue for many years. There are many different reasons and predictions as to why the number for this disease is rising in America. Recent epidemiologic studies of diet and health outcomes including obesity have changed the focus to the overall diet quality and dietary pattern instead of single nutrients, such as dietary fat (Hu et al, 2000; Fung et al, 2001a, 2001b). The process starts with the lack of physical exercise and the food that people eat. As Americans, we need to picture more healthier foods to eat, have more physical activity to help food digest easier and faster. According to Campbell “to date, interventions have focused on improving the more amenable determinants of obesity: physical inactivity

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

According the the Durham Police Department’s 2015 Annual Report, the number of juvenile arrests for youth ages 9 to 17, totaled 686 with crimes such as burglary, vandalism, assault, robbery, and drug violations (Durham Police Department 2015 Annual Report, 2015, p. 15). As resident and native of Durham, North Carolina and potential Human Service Professional, I am left with feelings of hopelessness and dismay after discovering these statistics. Our mission at Walden University is to incite social change in our professions, using the knowledge that we gain from completing our education. Establishing a preventative intervention program represents an opportunity to make an impact on the community where I was raised. Growing up in Durham, I have

With a multitude of environmental factors playing an ever-increasing role in the reasons for obesity, it is hard to focus on one reason as the 'root' cause of obesity. Ever-decreasing levels of physical activity, married with poor dietary habits are two likely causes of the obesity epidemic. Samaras et al. (1999) concluded that physical activity is the strongest environmental influence on total-body fat-mass in healthy middle-aged women. An inverse relationship was clearly apparent between physical activity and total-body and

There were 24 men and 16 women who were physically active to participate in the study. The participants were asked to not complete any exhaustive exercise 48 hours prior to the session. To assess strength,

The proposed intervention is intended to increase the utilization of established guidelines by AFP into the PCPs practice setting. This will therefore increase the access of the patients to PCPs who utilize the guidelines, which is intended to decrease the cost of treatment of AB and the quality of care will improve.

There is a current obesity epidemic in the United States. More and more Americans, both men and women, are turning to exercise as a means of weight loss. Participating in an exercise program can help facilitate weight loss by increasing caloric and fat expenditure. Many people begin an exercise regime with hopes of gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time; however, often times it is more complicated than that.

Behavior patterns represent the single most prominent domain of influence over health prospects in the United States (McGinnis, Williams-Russo, & Knickman, 2002). Acceptance and commitment to change, person’s values, and patient education are among the positive behaviors that could ultimately lead towards a long-term success of patient/client towards health and wellness. While it is true that there are aspects of healthcare delivery system which include access, reimbursement and third party payer’s policy regarding maintenance and wellness programs, the lack of consensus on frequency and scope of such activities that poses a challenge towards changing behavior, we the physical therapists are the front liners in facilitating and assisting

Reducing obesity in not only older adults but in adults and children is one of greatest challenges facing society in the twenty-first century. The key roles in reducing obesity are in treatment, management, and prevention. There is no cure for obesity, but there are treatments and preventions that can reduce obesity in society (Wills (2011). There are several treatment plans that can help with obesity.

My clinical question was what the effectiveness of active interventions such as exercises and dietary weight loss was for overweight or obese participants compared with passive interventions in a 60 year-old male within 18 months.

Some key components to an effective prevention program should include clarification, goals, objectives, funding, leadership and modification. Stevens and Smith (2013) state that it is “important that prevention strategies must be built on a sound planning process” (p. 350). An effective prevention plan takes time and cannot be thrown together. Research shows that there has been “considerable success over the past decade in demonstrating the efficacy of interventions to prevent a wide range of mental health, substance use, and social adaptation problems” (Daniels & Sandler, 2008). Proverbs 11:14 states “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in abundance of counselors there is safety” (English Standard Version). A prevention

Emerging research examining high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) indicates that it may be more effective at reducing subcutaneous and abdominal body fat than other types of exercise. In addition, it may promote health in various ways. I will focus on the comparison of HIIT and traditional exercise on the exercise performance, fat loss, fitness, insulin resistance, etc. Possible mechanisms underlying HIIT-induced fat loss and implications for the use of HIIT in the treatment and prevention of obesity are also discussed.

Effects of aerobic and/or resistance training on body mass and fat mass in overweight or obese adults. The reason for this examination was looked at the impacts of comparative measures of oxygen consuming and protection preparing on weight and fat mass in overweight adults.  Participants were 119 stationaries, overweight or corpulent grown-ups who were randomized to one of three 8-mo practice protocols. The finding of this investigation was criteria were age 18 to 70 years, inactive (practicing ≤1– 2 times/wk), overweight or respectably large (weight file 25– 35 kg/m2), and with gentle to direct dyslipidemia (either LDL cholesterol 130– 190 mg/dl or HDL cholesterol ≤40 mg/dl for men or ≤45 mg/dl for ladies).

The authors conducted this study for the very reason that there are few population-based observational studies that will research the different ways in which people attempt to control their weight based on diet and exercise, not one or the other. The authors decided to analyze data from the 1995 NCHRBS in order to
