...[pic] Personal Exercise Program Name: Katayoon Khoshragham Writing a Personal Exercise Program Before we start exercising or trying to improve our level of fitness we must make sure that we are at a reasonable level of fitness to start. If you have not exercised for a while, had children or have suffered from an illness, you must seek medical advice before you start on a fitness/training program. 1. Why must you seek medical advice before you start training/exercising? Because, exercising is a physically intensive activity and you would have high heart beat rates, excessive sweating, tiredness etc. Some people who are weak or having cardiac illness etc may not be able to work out effectively. So consulting a physician helps us avoid unintentional injuries to ourselves because of exercising. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ To help you plan your exercise program you will have to consider your own Information______________ N(personal profile)_________.

...Robert Chin HUN1201 Principles of Nutrition 04/20/2014 Diabetes Awareness: Signs, Symptoms and, Prevention and Nutrition As a very young child, I grew up watching my mom struggle with her diet every day. She suffered from diabetes and was forced to keep a constant watch over every single morsel of food she put in her mouth. Over the years began to understand much more about the complexities of my mother’s disease and how vital it was for her to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. As the disease progressed, my mother was forced to introduce now and more invasive methods to manage her disorder, including insulin shots twice daily. Despite all of her efforts to keep her disease in control, my mother lost her battle at the horrifyingly young age of 47.Watching her fight so bravely against sometimes that she eventually would have no control over was a tremendous inspiration to me. My mother’s journey is the reason that I have decided to come up with a healthy balanced diet for an individual who is diagnosed with diabetes. My hope is that I can educate diabetes about their disease and maybe give them more precious time with their loved ones that I had with mine. Diabetes mellitus, more commonly called simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases. People afflicted with this disease have high blood sugar, either because their body does not produce enough insulin, or because the body's cells do not respond to the insulin that is...

...Diabetes [Name of Author] [Name of Institution] Introduction The examination profile of Mr Ward is not satisfactory and predicts he is confronted with several risk factors. Triglyceride level of Mr. Ward is 1.8mmol/l which is considered to be borderline high. Likewise, the cholesterol is 5.2mmol/l which again is very high. He also has a blood pressure higher than a safe range and a BMI below satisfactory level. This paper aims to highlight the facts and interventions which can be used for disease management for Mr Ward. Discussion The major challenge for maintaining a suitable glycemic control for diabetic patients is to restrict the progression of disease or development of the risk factors which turn pertinent over the course of time. The progression of disease can be restricted through considering the factors leading to weight gain, the pharmaceutical considerations, incurrence of glycemic conditions, and by taking into account the inherent restraints for administering exogenous insulin (Nichols et al, 2000). According to Davies (2004), there are number of factors which influences the consultation for diabetes patients amongst which the prominent ones include age, span of diabetes, the BMI, and measure of physical exercise. The glycaemic control remains the first and foremost target for every healthcare provider to enable insulin uptake in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. Janes et al (2013) have highlighted the significance of daily routine and activities...

...large number of different techniques that make use of psychological-especially learning- principles to deal with maladaptive human behavior. Behavior therapy is a relative new kind of psychotherapy (Corsini R. & Wedding D., 2008). As a systematic approach, behavior therapy began in the 1950’s, in order to assess and treat psychological disorders. Behavior therapy was developed by a small group of psychologists and physicians who were not satisfied with the conventional techniques of psychotherapy (Thorpe G. et al, 1990). They linked behavior therapy to experimental psychology, differentiating it from other preexisting approaches. During behavior therapy’s first phase, the applied developed from principles of classical and operant conditioning. There are varying views about the best way to define behavior therapy. However, most health professionals agree to Eysenck's definition: “Behavior therapy is the attempt to alter human behavior and emotions in a beneficial way...

...INTRODUCTION This term in PE, we have been investigating physical fitness and how to enhance your performance in Biathlon. This included investigating the components of fitness, training methods and the FITT principles. This report will evaluate the effectiveness of the training sessions conducted in class this term for biathlon in relation to improvement of my individual performance. THE COMPONENTS OF FITNESS RELATING TO BIATHLON The Biathlon was made up of a 200m swim followed by a 1km run. The components of fitness relating to this Biathlon were as follows: CARDIOVASCULAR / RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE Cardiovascular / Respiratory Endurance (CRE) is the ability of your body systems to gather, process and deliver oxygen to your muscles. Your cardiorespiratory system, which is made up of your heart, lungs and circulatory system, needs to work together efficiently. You need to have good CRE for aerobic exercise. The running and swimming legs of the biathlon are both aerobic exercises. The energy needed to do aerobic exercise is supplied aerobically which needs your heart and lung and blood system to supply oxygen to the working muscles throughout the biathlon. Since running and swimming in the biathlon are both aerobic activities, you have to have to have good CRE to succeed in the race. Especially to last the full 200m swim and then be able to continue on to do the 1km run. Having a high level of CRE delays the onset of fatigue aswell. This means that your work rate...

...suggests that good abdominal and lower back strength are necessary if heavy lifting workouts are to be used. Therefore, the first goal for gained sprint speed is guaranteeing a good generic level of strength. George Dintiman and Robert Ward, two professional athletes and weightlifters suggest that an football players should be able to perform one maximum leg press of at least 2.5 times body weight, and have a hamstring to quadriceps ratio of least 75-80%. Both these measures can be tested on basic machines. Moderate abdominal and lower back strength are also essential for sprinting speed, as the trunk muscles are required to balance the sprinting movement. Most football players at the high school level understand the importance of a good strength and conditioning program. A properly scheduled program greatly improves athleticism, which is a key part to strong sports performance. So why do so many young football players do not succeed in their attempts to improve their...

Kienle* and Helmut Kiene ¨ Institut fur Angewandte Erkenntnistheorie und Medizinische Methodologie, D-79112 Freiburg, Germany ABSTRACT. In 1955, Henry K. Beecher published the classic work entitled ‘‘The Powerful Placebo.’’ Since that time, 40 years ago, the placebo effect has been considered a scientific fact. Beecher was the first scientist to quantify the placebo effect. He claimed that in 15 trials with different diseases, 35% of 1082 patients were satisfactorily relieved by a placebo alone. This publication is still the most frequently cited placebo reference. Recently Beecher’s article was reanalyzed with surprising results: In contrast to his claim, no evidence was found of any placebo effect in any of the studies cited by him. There were many other factors that could account for the reported improvements in patients in these trials, but most likely there was no placebo effect whatsoever. False impressions of placebo effects can be produced in various ways. Spontaneous improvement, fluctuation of symptoms, regression to the mean, additional treatment, conditional switching of placebo treatment, scaling bias, irrelevant response variables, answers of politeness, experimental subordination, conditioned answers, neurotic or psychotic misjudgment, psychosomatic phenomena...

...Physical Exercise Training Program Outline Team HPE 170 May 4, 2013 Larry Horton Physical Exercise Training Program Outline Type of physical exercise training program Jamila wants to lose twenty pounds over the next twelve weeks or three months. In order for Jamila to meet this goal she must burn approximately 6,000 calories a week. Jamila will need to work out twice a day to achieve this goal. In the morning, Jamila will start with an active stretch before she starts her cycling class. She will burn approximately 150-180 calories from actively stretching (Rifkin, 2011). Then she will take a cycling class for 30 min. She will burn approximately 400 calories from this class. In the evening her workout routine will consist of various workout routines. Before Jamila starts her workout routine in the evening she will need to stretch. Jamila will get the ultimate stretch by participating in 30 minutes of hot yoga. She will burn approximately 350-400 calories from hot yoga (Gronot, 2011). Then Jamila will run on the treadmill for approximately 60 minutes. If she runs at approximately 9 mph she will burn approximately 1,020 calories (Weeks, 2011). Once she has completed her running she will stretch out her running muscles to ensure she does not get sore. During her stretching routine she will burn approximately 150-180 calories (Rifkin, 2011). She will do these workouts everyday M-F. On Saturday she will incorporate weight training instead of cycling in the morning...

(2) Program 2 was this time designed to focus on hypertrophy of the client’s legs, the programs number of repetitions, sets, intensity, exercise selection and rest intervals reflected this. A meta-analysis of hypertrophy by Scheonfeld4 concluded that maximal hypertrophy gains can be achieved using at least 60% of 1RM, for 8-12 repetitions for 4 sets helping to achieve the basic principle of hypertrophy of higher volume, multiple set protocols. Our clients program reflected this using 60% or 1RM weights, 10 repetitions per set for 4 sets. Scheonfeld4 also noted the importance of differing exercise selection to elicit stress to different muscles on different force planes causing different activation patterns. This is why our program includes squats, front squats, lunges and Romanian dead-lifts, all movements with different planes...

...Unit 1 Discussion Board Applying Learning Theories EDU622-1304C-02 Regina Dzwonar Most records acknowledged formal education as existing as least as far back as ancient Greece. The big three names universally known are Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Education at this time was concerned mainly with reason, logic and philosophy. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle differed in preferences of extremes. Socrates is infamous for pushing limits while Aristotle preached balance. Many historians consider Plato the most sophisticated of the three; Socrates taught on the streets of Athens. Sources, such as the American Psychological Association, credit Plato, with founding the first formal institution of education, “After returning to Athens, Plato set up his own school, which was called the Academy. Philosophy and other subjects were taught there, and the Academy continued to produce scholars for many centuries after Plato died.” (Downey, 2006, para. 6). Aristotle, according to legend, was the teacher of Alexander the Great. The most notable theory from this time the Socratic Method, which consists of posing probing questions to students rather than espousing a hierarchy of knowledge. Brief History of its Founding Modern theories such as behaviorism, founded in the early twentieth century, are associated with theorists including Watson, Skinner, Pavlov and Thorndike. Watson known as the father of behaviorism proposed an alternative to the views of Wilhelm Wundt the founder of...
