Heart rates in children may reach 220 or even 225 before puberty, but tend to fall to around 200 in their late teens, so the coach should not worry on finding such high rates in exercising youngsters." (Sharp, 1)
This is a demonstration of the distinct physical response of the youth's body, justifying a framing of youth physical activity as separate, different and demanding its own specific scientific attention. This is so because there also exist specific risks to the child which must be considered before shaping or directing an exercise routine. The anaerobic capability of a child -- which denotes the subject's ability to generate and use energy -- will be simultaneously demonstrative of the unique abilities and vulnerabilities of the child. Sharp indicates that "on the anaerobic side, the younger the children, from about 8 to 16, the lower the proportion of anaerobic energy they can generate, and…...

Exercise Science & Anatomy
The science of anatomy began long before the invention of the CAT scan, but it couldn't have been done without the inventions of one of the greatest artistic and scientific minds in history, Leonardo da Vinci. Nor could exercise science have become an area of serious investigation and discovery without the work of Leonardo and his successor, Vesalius.

Da Vinci was born April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence died on May 2, 1519 in Cloux, France. hen he was a teenager, he thought it would be cool, legend says, to paint a really creepy head. So he brought home all sorts of vermin, including lizards, bats and maggots, and painted a disgusting monster. His father, startled by the realism of the thing, decided his son could only be an artist. (Museum of Science eb site)

Leonardo, the artist, often became fascinated with a problem to solve…...

Life of a Personal Trainer
There are myriad exercise science and wellness promotion sub-disciplines. These include various facets of nutrition, kinesiology, injuries, areas of athletics which may be stratified by sports or competition, yoga, pilates, and other type of exercise. These disciplines relate to an assortment of career options in which individuals can either work as a general fitness trainer or actually specialize in each of these sub-disciplines.

One of the most important requisites to becoming a personal trainer is to have the proper education. Such an education usually necessitates the completion of a high school diploma or of its equivalent. Frequently, there is a plethora of post-secondary education opportunities that employees in this field wish for their candidates to have fulfilled. These include formal collegiate education in a subject related to this field such as physical education, exercise science, kinesiology, and others (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015). Such an education…...

Exercise science is a scientific discipline quite apart from simple physical activity. The exercise scientist gains understanding from reaching out to other disciplines, such as psychology, chemistry, physiology, and even engineering. Basically, exercise science alludes to how science is applied to the act of exercise; exercise refers to human movement, but exercise science zeros in on the various components that relate to the links between fitness, exercise, diet and health.
The Sub-Disciplines of Exercise Science

Exercise physiology: This is the study of acute responses and the adaptations that the body makes to various exercise situations. Sports nutrition: this is the practice of taking the nutrients that are most helpful to athletic performance (the correct amount of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins and liquids). Epidemiology: this is the way in which the distribution and determinants of certain healthy states or events are studied by doctors and scientists, and how the results are applied…...

Discussion 1
The news media and bloggers rely on “clickbait” headlines to grab readers’ attention and lure them into an article. Scholars write catchy headlines but for different reasons. Whereas clickbait headlines are a form of “deception,” catchy phrases in headlines are not. The commercial media also uses statistical data differently from scholars, often misleading the public by drawing spurious conclusions or using hyperbole to interpret the results. For example, recent headlines show that the use of the word “epidemic” is itself becoming an epidemic: with an “epidemic of gun violence,” an “opioid epidemic,” an “epidemic surveillance of Hajj pilgrims,” and a “prison epidemic” all being reported in one Google search. With no established parameters for what constitutes an “epidemic,” irresponsible reporters can use this term. Even though the widespread abuse of prescription opioids is a problem, there is no need for Lopez (2017) to use the inflammatory term “epidemic” just…...

Science of Behavior Change
NIH Common Fund Programs: The science of behavior change

The science of behavior change is a critical area of NIH research because of the degree to which lifestyle changes can improve human health. Chronic diseases such as heart disease, type II diabetes, and stroke have all been linked to negative health behaviors like smoking and drinking. Only if scientists can understand how to motivate people to change their behaviors can a more effective prescription for remedying these ailments be constructed for our nation. Two NIH studies currently being undertaken are one which investigates how "environmental and biological factors associated with poverty and stress that underlie abnormal impulsivity that accompanies addiction to substances and unhealthy behaviors" and one which assesses environmental factors that influence the propensity for adolescents to exercise " to identify individual differences in voluntary exercise behavior and inform new ways to change exercise behavior in this…...

This begins by asking a question. In that case, the question would be: Does Sensa cause weight loss without dieting? Background research would then need to be done. This would include any literature and other research information that could be found on Sensa from reputable sources. Information from InStyle and Good Housekeeping would not be considered for this type of research, because these are not reputable magazines from a scientific standpoint. A hypothesis would be constructed from the background research, which would be that Sensa causes weight loss without dieting. From that point, it would be necessary to conduct an experiment to prove or disprove that hypothesis.
An experiment to prove or disprove this hypothesis would need to include a control group, and that group would need to eat the same food and the same quantity of food as those using the Sensa. This is difficult, because everyone metabolizes food…...

Science appealed to me as early as I can remember in my academic career, specifically, solving problems through experimentation. Biology, in particular, captured my interest because it seemed to combine science with the goal of providing healthcare and comfort to patients suffering from medical disease. Since then, I have learned that the other scientific disciplines contribute equally toward improving modern health care, but the biological sciences have always captured my greatest interest.
My recent volunteer duties at the (Name of nursing home) nursing home confirmed to me the profound satisfaction inherent in providing patient care. The experience of being able to improve the lives and outlook of elderly patients (some of whom suffer more from depression and loneliness than any organic disease) remains one of the most rewarding endeavors that I have ever undertaken.

The satisfaction of helping others is one element that has been missing from my professional life, despite the…...

patterns of physical activity and exercise indicates that there has been an overall trend of decreasing physical activity levels and increasing levels of inactivity among adolescents and adults (Gordon-Larsen, McMurray, & Popkin, 1999; Van Der Horst, Paw, Twisk, & Van Mechelen, 2007). Inactivity and poor diet are responsible a large number of deaths annually and could soon become one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. esearch continues to reaffirm that there is a dose response relationship between physical activity and all causes of mortality. There is typically a risk reduction of around 30% for those attaining the recommended levels of at least moderately intense physical activity on most days of the week compared with those who are relatively inactive (Lee & Skerrett, 2001). egular physical exercise has long been associated with decreased risk of fatal cardiovascular disease (Powell, Thompson, Caspersen, & Kenderick, 1987), obesity and diabetes…...

Attribution Theory and Emotional Intelligence
Attribution theory

Attribution theory is a theory that focuses on creating an understanding of the ways in which people interpret events and the relationship of the events to their thinking and behaviors. The theory was proposed by Heider (1958), Weiner (1972 and 1986), and Weiner (1074). Attribution theory takes into assuption that individuals try to understand why people behave the way they do (attribute causes of events to behaviors). It also creates an understanding of behavior of individuals using three-stage processes that are considered to build the strength of the attribution. Among the processes include the fact that an individual should perceive or see their behavior, individuals should believe that their behaviors were due their intentional circumstances. Finally, individuals should determine whether they believe somebody else forced them to perform or engage in that behavior.

The relationship between these factors creates a web of causation that determines one's…...

Diabetes
The pathophysiology of Type 2 diabetes is found in the way the body's relationship with insulin. Either the body produces too little of it to meet the body's own needs or else there is a resistance to the insulin that the body has developed (which makes the insulin unable to do what it should -- thus there could be enough insulin in the body, it is just that cells in the body do not respond to it). The cause is due to "a combination of genetic factors related to impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance" and impacts from external factors "such as obesity," inadequate exercise, aging, etc. (Kaku, 2010, p. 41).

Wilmot and Idris (2014) show that there is an age continuum risk associated with separating Type 2 diabetes diagnosis onsets into two separate categories -- pediatric (under 20 years of age) and adult (over 20). They assert that such…...

Incorporating other unhealthy lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, abusing alcohol, and abuse of other drug complexes the health status of an individual; hence, a premature death (Tarnopolsky, 2010).
A strong relationship exists between physical activity and exercises and the risks of cardiovascular diseases. Poor lifestyles contribute to a variety of risk factors such as high levels of lipids in the blood, obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure that causes cardiovascular complications. Significant evidence shows that reducing these risk factors reduces the risks of an individual having cardiovascular conditions such as stroke, cardiac arrest, and coronary heart disease. egular exercises and physical activity reduce these risk factors in a number of ways. For instance, it promotes the reduction of the body weight that helps in the reduction of…...

The Lord will lead one to safety always. One can simply believe in something higher to get the meaning of this; it doesn't have to be Jesus. Psalm 127, contrarily is confusing because it states that unless the Lord builds the house, it is built in vain. This seems to be more literal, but I do get the idea. Unless the people building the house are doing it with the love of the Lord in their hearts, or building it for him, then what is the point?
Didactic poetry can be quite comforting as seen in Psalm 23 or it can be much too literal and seen as both confusing and condescending. Psalm 127 isn't very instructive spiritually speaking, unlike Psalm 23.

Getting Americans to exercise may be difficult, but the benefits of exercise are clear. People who exercise tend to live longer, have better overall health, and feel better about themselves. In California, many programs are available that will help people develop and maintain healthy lifestyles that include exercise. Education is the key to helping people understand the benefits of exercise, and that education must begin early in life for exercise to become a daily habit. For America to become a healthy country again, people must understand the importance of exercise and good health, and that begins with education and assistance to help people create better, more healthful lives for themselves.
