...My dreams and aspirations have always stretched past the spectrum of my imagination. I consider myself as a dreamer; someone who sees the world through a different perspective where one would ideally consider my plans and ideas as not practical or based in reality. Physical therapy is an ever-changing field improving an individual’s quality of life by returning them to their highest degree of personal independence through direct patient interaction and the use of exercise in recovery. Optimizing movement to improve the human experience relates to the focus of public health, which is preventing injury and disease, prolonging life and protecting populations by promoting health in physical, social and economic environments. Although APTA’s vision is for the physical therapy profession, it correlates with public health ethics that highlight the importance of partnership, citizenship, and community. The principles of the...

...adulthood (American Heart Association [AHA], 2006c; Jones, Willis, & Uzark, 2006). One of the most common CHDs is tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), occurring in 9% to 14% of the children born with a CHD and approximately 5 out of every 10,000 births (AHA, 2006a, b; National Heart Lung and Blood Institute [NHLBI], 2007). The need for primary care providers to manage the health of adolescents with TOF has developed as the population and lifespan of children born with TOF has increased. One of the most important roles of a primary care provider is to educate adolescents and their families to facilitate the achievement and maintenance of optimal health. This includes counseling adolescents, especially those living with TOF, of the importance of regular exercise and participation in sport activities as necessary factors for their physical, emotional, and social growth and development (Bar-Or & Rowland, 2004). Physical activity is also essential for the prevention of long-term cardiovascular and obesity-related health problems (AHA, 2006d). Primary care providers cannot assume the cardiologist has effectively provided this education. Unfortunately, the literature indicates adolescents with TOF do not feel well informed regarding their cardiac condition, their physical activity allowances, or possible physical limitations (Birks, Sloper, Lewin, & Parsons, 2006; Canobbio, 2001; Cheuk, Wong, Choi, Chau, & Cheung, 2004; Falk et...

...esteem, prevent childhood obesity, and increase test scores in children. Regular physical activity is associated with a healthier longer life and with a lower risk of heart disease. “Current recommendations are for children to engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day (www.everdaychoices.org)”. Children spend over half of their day at school, so it’s reasonable to require that they should get at least 30 minutes of that time at school. Heart disease is a growing epidemic among Americans. Laying down a foundation that encourages children to get physical helps reduce the risk of them developing this disease later in life. In a systematic review of physical education programs over a six month time frame showed that exercise program can restore blood vessel function and improve cardiovascular risk factors (www.everdaychoices.org). Georgia performance standards states that children should regularly participate in physical activity (www.georgiastandards.org). The intent of this standard was to connect the physical education with the children lives outside the classroom. This is critical to the children...

...Therapeutic Exercise Prescription Concepts Applied to Patients Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia Pain is defined as an “unpleasant feeling, conveyed to the brain by sensory neurons” (Medical Dictionary, 2013). Pain is a subjective interpretation, which describes location, intensity and nature of sensory information resulted from noxious stimulation of nerve endings. The emotional response and other various conscious or unconscious responses add to the concept of pain. Acute pain usually results from tissue damage and it usually ends once the injury is healed. Chronic pain is a long term condition related to a persistent or degenerative disease or it doesn’t have an identifiable cause. Although there are different opinions about when a patient can be declared as suffering from chronic pain (after six months or twelve months), the presence of such sensation after the healing period usually leads to this diagnosis. One of the diseases with a generalized chronic pain as a symptom, which continues to generate many debates in the medical world, is fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia, a disorder that affects the overall system and has an effect of generalized chronic pain, will be delineated in this paper, including its causes, manifestation, and part of the process of managing this disease in which a kinesiologist would have a central role. Fibromyalgia, estimated to affect 4% of the population, is a compilation of symptoms accompanying pain, which include fatigue, stiffness and sleep disturbance...

...and scientists have always favored preventive measures to avoid the conditions which result in undergoing a rigorous treatment. In this view physical activity or fitness training programs have been found having significant effects in the prevention of strokes as well as at post care stage as treatment and a measure of rehabilitation in survivors of cardiac arrests. Further, it has been noted in recently conducted studies that quite a remarkable evidences are discovered in favor of physical activity as therapeutic as well as rehabilitative in nature. Organized physical activity in the form of exercise, tailor made programs according to the needs of the patients at post care stage and fitness training exercise therapy have been found considerably helpful in rehabilitation in the survivors of stroke. In addition, further research is proposed to explore the different types of organized exercise programs according to the physical and mental conditions of survivors and as preventive measures among them. Physical Activity in the Prevention and Treatment of Stroke Cardiac arrest is a one of the growing and leading causes of death around the globe. According to available data, more than 130,000 people suffer from heart attack, from mild to severe strokes, every year, (SIGN, 2008). One cannot ignore preventive measures; however, once a person goes through a severe form of arrest, he needs post...

...Physical education Physical education equipment in Calhan, Colorado. Physical education, Phy. Ed., or PE, also known in many Commonwealth countries as physical training or PT,[1] is an educational course related to the physique of the human body. It is taken during primary and secondary education and encourages psychomotor learning in a play or movement exploration setting to promote health.[2] Asia[edit] In South Korea, it is mandatory for pupils to take a total of 3 hours of physical education through primary and secondary level schools[citation needed] In Singapore, pupils from primary school through junior colleges are required to have 2 hours of PE every week, except during examination seasons. Pupils are able to play games like football, badminton, captain ball, and basketball during most sessions. Unorthodox sports such as touchball, fencing, and skateboarding are occasionally played. In more prestigious secondary schools and in junior colleges, sports such as golf, tennis, shooting, and squash are played. A compulsory fitness exam, NAPFA, is conducted in every school once every year to assess the physical fitness of the pupils.[citation needed] Pupils are given a series of fitness tests (Pull-ups/Inclined pull-ups for girls, standing broad jump, sit-ups, sit-and-reach and 1.6 km for primary [10- to 12-year-olds]/2.4 km for secondary and junior college levels [13- to 18-year-olds]). Students are graded by gold, silver, bronze or fail. NAPFA for pre-enlistees serves...

...INFREQUENCY OF EXERCISE Infrequency of Exercise in Americans and its Potential Dangers Elecia Black MAT 540: Statistical Concepts for Research Instructor Charles Edeki October 7, 2013 Introduction The issue that was selected for this paper is the lack of exercise among Americans and the potential dangers that lack of exercise lead to. This issue was selected because lack of exercise is putting peoples’ health at risk as a nation. According to research studies, Americans do not exercise as often as they should. Reasons such as work, children, not having access to exercise facilities, and etc. have been given as to why this lack of exercise has occurred. However, many people have come to the conclusion that they do not exercise because they feel as if they do not have a reason to. And for this very reason, the American people are jeopardizing their health. This infrequency of exercise often leads to potential dangers such as obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer to name a few. But, research shows that with more frequent exercise, these potential dangers can be reduced and promote a healthier America. Statement of the Problem According to a study done by the US Department of Health and Human Services, regular physical activity reduces the risk of premature death and disability from a variety of conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer. Some people are unaware of the fact that lack of exercise will bring about...

...on your puzzle proficiency? INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: It has been found that there may be a correlation between physical activity and puzzle proficiency. Exercise increases circulation which can have large effects on learning ability. A study published in 2007 by the Medical College of Georgia discovered that after 15 weeks of regular exercise, test scores improved significantly over pre-trial results. One explanation for this could be due to the impact that exercise has on the brain. Study results published in “Health Psychology” in 2011, found patterns of brain activity when exercising in the pre-frontal cortex, which is responsible for functions such as problem-solving and complex thoughts. I have come to a stage in my schooling where I don't have compulsory P.E lessons anymore and I was questioning whether I should continue with doing after-school sport, and whether it would actually be improving my academic learning ability. Therefore I am proposing this experiment to gain knowledge on whether exercise has an effect on your puzzle proficiency. HYPOTHESIS: It is expected that when ones heart rate increases from physical activity, their puzzle proficiency should also increase. This is because of increased blood flow and brain activity in areas of memory and problem solving causing exercise...
