Abstract:

This pilot study examined the relationship between proximity of fitness facilities and equipment and actual perceived usage by undergraduate students at a Division I university, while acknowledging the role that Social Cognitive Theory plays in fitness. As a pilot study, the primary purpose was to gauge whether the study design and instruments used were appropriate for the overall purpose. Intensity of exercise, frequency of exercise, length of physical activity sessions, as well as a variety of other constructs were analyzed through correlational analysis to determine significance.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Physical fitness has a direct impact on daily motor function. The level of fitness generally increases with age to reach a maximal level for a given individual at around 20-30 years of age, after which it begins to gradually decrease - with the pace of the decrease depending on the type of physical activity engaged in. At every age, physical fitness can be improved by the right physical training. One factor that frequently limits participation in various types of physical activity is insufficient free time. Older individuals frequently have more free time, yet do not spe

Abstract:

For many individuals, pre-participation clearance using the PAR-Q and the PARmed-X has become a barrier to adopting a physically active lifestyle. An extensive project is therefore planned to reduce the number of medical referrals from the PAR-Q and to revise the PARmed-X so that it becomes more effective, user friendly, and evidence based. The entire process will likely require 3 years to complete; therefore, as an interim solution, we propose giving greater pre-participation screening responsibility to qualified university-educated fitness professionals.

Abstract:

Aims: The lifestyle and physical activity (PA) habits of young people play a key role in the prevention of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases at older ages. The current generation of biological science students at university holds promise for better future medicine and medical technology. However, their physical fitness and lifestyle are often ignored. Methods: Lifestyle, PAs and common risk factors for cardiovascular disease before, and at, university were collected from 408 students using self-completed, anonymous surveys between the academic years of 2017 and 2019 from the School of Biol

Abstract:

Physical fitness is the overall ability of the body to adapt to the working environment and perform sporting and daily activities. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between muscle fitness and the electromyography (EMG) signals of lower limbs under varying exercise intensity. The standing long jump was used as a test task for assessing the power of the lower limb muscles. Participants were university freshmen who belonged to the top 20%, middle 20%, and bottom 20% groups in terms of physical fitness norms. The EMG signals of the participants’ lower limbs while they performed

Abstract:

Despite releases of governmental guidelines for promoting physical fitness among the youth in China, the performance of college students in fitness tests has been declining over the past three decades. Obesity and physical inactivity have been proposed as two main causes. However, their relative importance for improving physical fitness remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we collected longitudinal data spanning four consecutive years on the physical fitness test for students from Nanjing University, China. Physical education classes of two hours per week were mandatory for the firs

135 Background: Cancer survivors can benefit from exercise at many points in the cancer care continuum. The Exercise Physiology Internship was developed by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and Levine Cancer Institute (LCI) to address the exercise needs of patients with cancer. Although the interns had a background in physical fitness, they required training regarding the medical complexity of this population and how this affects their ability to exercise. To bridge this gap, LCI approached Carolinas Rehabilitation to assist in providing safe and effective exercises to cancer survi

Abstract The search for genes with a positive influence on physical fitness is a difficult process. Physical fitness is a trait determined by multiple genes, and its genetic basis is then modified by numerous environmental factors. The present study examines the effects of the polymorphism of creatine kinase (CKM) gene on VO2max - a physiological index of aerobic capacity of high heritability.
