...The American Medical Association states that, “One of the reasons American children and adolescent gain weight over the generation is that children expend significantly less energy than their parents and grandparents did at their age” (Green, G. Riley, Hargrove, C. pg. 915-920). The children of today do not have to leave their family room to find entertainment instead they stay in the house to watch television, play video games, and play on the computer. Doing these activities for hours and not getting the recommend sixty minutes per day is extremely unhealthy for the children of today and this is the major reason why so many children are obese. I will prove in this paper that childhood obesity is a growing epidemic because today’s youth are not staying active and playing outside however they are sitting on the couch using an entertainment media device. The Center of Diseases and Control states that, “Children eight through eighteen years of age spend an average of 7.5 hours a day using an entertainment media including television, computers, video games, cell phones, and movies” (CDC 2012 par.12). This shows the...

...to discover things about themselves. During this stage of development, a teacher should be well aware of how to treat children depending on the characteristics. When there is care and attention at this point, the individual becomes all-rounded and develops to be a great human being. Development in students is multifaceted and different factors affect it. The features of development comes in three tiers which are physical, cognitive and social/emotional characteristics. Cognitive characteristics expound on how middle years’ students are able to use their mental strengths in issues like language, problem solving and memory (Pellegrini, 1985). When children are infants, the abilities like memory and language exist, but at a slower level. However, children can recognize a lot of things like the faceof their mother and her voice. These little things are in their memory. Nevertheless, characteristics like problem solving and language develop over time. Children begin to speak between the ages of one year to three years. When a child takes many years to learn how to speak, the parents get concerned and they look for underlying issues that may be the cause. Cognitive development depends on genetics. If there was a case of intellectual disability in the family, there is always a risk that the child may be susceptible to this issue. Food and nutrition affect how a child develops. As the child grows up to go to primary school, teachers have seen the children develop and they know the best...

...------------------------------------------------- Overview[edit] Nutritional science investigates the metabolic and physiological responses of the body to diet. With advances in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, the study of nutrition is increasingly concerned with metabolism and metabolic pathways: the sequences of biochemical steps through which substances in living things change from one form to another. The human body contains chemical compounds, such as water, carbohydrates (sugar, starch, and fiber), amino acids (in proteins), fatty acids (in lipids), and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). These compounds in turn consist of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and so on. All of these chemical compounds and elements occur in various forms and combinations (e.g. hormones, vitamins, phospholipids, hydroxyapatite), both in the human body and in the plant and animal organisms that humans eat. The human body consists of elements and compounds ingested, digested, absorbed, and circulated through the bloodstream to feed the cells of the body. Except in the unborn fetus, the digestive system is the first system involved in obtaining nutrition. In a typical adult, about seven liters of digestive juices enter the digestive tract.[citation needed] These break chemical bonds in ingested molecules, and modulate their conformations and energy states. Though some molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream...

...use feedback (executive functions). These areas contribute to reasoning, problem solving and emotional stability. The parietal lobes interpret temperature, touch and pleasure. Concept formation and abstraction happens and are formulated in this area. The parietal lobes form two sides; the left parietal lobe and the right parietal lobe. The left parietal lobe assists with right and left orientation and mathematics, while the right parietal lobe is used for awareness, as to shape (steriognosis) and size as well as body position (proprioception). The occipital lobe is responsible for usual interpretation and association. The temporal lobe is responsible for hearing and smell sensation as well as storage for some complex memories. The second major division of the brain is the Diencephalon which is responsible for some of the basic human function. It is further divided into...

ISBN 978-0-692-00528-6 Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, Todd S. Ellenbecker, W. Ben Kibler TENNIS RECOVERY A Comprehensive Review of the Research A United States Tennis Association Sport Science Committee Project Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, PhD Todd S. Ellenbecker, DPT W. Ben Kibler, MD Introduction In the last two decades, physical training and competitive opportunities have increased dramatically in junior, collegiate and professional tennis. This arose due to a multitude of factors, but much of it has stemmed from an increase in knowledge and understanding of scientifically based training programs focused on improving performance. As this focus on performance has increased, the area of recovery has received relatively limited focus. Recovery is a multi-faceted paradigm focusing on recovery from training—session to session, day to day and week to week. Recovery is also vitally important during training as well as in competition between matches and between days during multi-day tournaments. As more information is needed in the area of tennis specific recovery, the Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sponsored an extensive evidence-based...

...PART A – Plan the project Most athletes know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance, but many still over train and feel guilty when they take a day off. The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest athletes. Rest days are critical to sports performance for a variety of reasons. Some are physiological and some are psychological. Rest is physically necessary so that the muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen. For recreational athletes, building in rest days can help maintain a better balance between home, work and fitness goals. The main objective of my project of this term is to build up a recovery program for athletes. That is what I am gonna try to study into the basics. Sport is not only about performance, there is a lot of other factors that influence the performance, from the psychological aspect to the physiological condition. The recovery phase and rest is one of the main subject that help to improve athlete s performance. Human is not a machine, we all need rest to restart our body again to reach the performance we want. Rest is not only behind higher performance, recovery periods prevent injuries that are caused by overtraining or a trauma. My project is about recovery program for a specific athlete, and how it can influence his performance. I try to build up a recovery program for him, that is suitable for his possibilities and capacities...
