Due to the strong and growing evidence in scientific literature on the beneficial effects of physical activity on health and well-being, the importance of Clinical Exercise Science has increased. Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Exercise, is a subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful in the sense that the improvement or maintenance of one or more components of physical fitness is the objective (http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/pa/en/; last accessed on 30 April 2016). Generally speaking, Clinical Exercise Science is an applied clinical branch which deals with the application of various exercise modalities for …show more content…
Notably, physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, resulting in 6% of deaths globally (http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/pa/en/: last accessed on 30 April 2016). Characteristically, public health practice addresses the physical activity and exercise in a broader sense, focusing on the communities, populations and settings. On the other hand, due to the advancement in healthcare technologies, Clinical Exercise Science has made it possible to incorporate physical activity and various exercise modalities into healthcare practice in a way that a response at organism (e.g., humans, animals), organ system (e.g., musculoskeletal system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system), organ (e.g., heart, skeletal muscles, bones), and cellular (e.g., immune system cells, red blood cells) level can be examined, both in healthy people and patients with acute or chronic clinical conditions and disabilities. However, body of scientific evidence generated through the research in Clinical Exercise Science has its implications not only in clinical practice, but also in public health practice. This is one of the main reasons why I would like to join the Clinical Research Science Ph.D. program at the Potsdam …show more content…
This was followed by one year practical clinical training leading to a registered medical practitioner license in Pakistan. After acquiring my Master of Public Health (MPH) degree at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany I started my professional career in Germany. I have worked for more than 6 years in the field of primary research (clinical research) and secondary research (systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials) in Germany. Furthermore, I was able to acquire public health research knowledge through MPH study and master’s thesis research. I was one of the best students during the MPH study at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences,
“Accept the challenge so that you can feel exhilaration of victory”. This quote was said by George S. Patton is discussion the important role that Athletic trainer should work and work until they win. Who are we are highly qualified multi skilled health care professionals. Also Athletic trainer prevent diagnosis treatment and rehabilitation of emergent acute or chronic injuries. Were also known for being high qualified multi skilled health care professional. Being and athletic trainer is a great and hardworking career. That involves meeting new people, dealing with different challenge each day, Also it has moderate schooling.
Every part of our body is a science. I never imagined the hidden science in the movements of the body. The science of kinesiology is the science of body movements. I grew up watching my grandma and the changes in her body as both of us got older, I could walk and balance properly while she lost it. I always felt bad when she was not able to get up and walk properly and as caring grandson I always gave her my hand. It was a great feeling for me to take care of her in her last days. Her difficulty in moving always pointed me to do something for her and I landed doing kinesiology- the science of human movements. I completed my high school at Cathedral High School in West Texas. I was an active member of National Honor Society as well as Spanish Honor Society. I held the treasurer position for one year in the society, which I felt proud of. I was not excellent at my academics, was just an average student struggling with the subjects of chemistry and anatomy. It is strange at one point of time suddenly when u come across a certain situation or an accident and u just realize your dream and...
Athletic Trainers play a crucial part in today’s professional sports. They also help on lower levels of sports in high school, and college level teams. The job of an athletic trainer is simple yet very important, they are charged with treating, and preventing injuries. A trainer does this by developing therapies to reduce pain, and improve mobility (“Athletic Trainer Salaries”). They have to stand for long periods of time, work well with athletes of different sizes, move or carry equipment around, good mobility and communication skills to give instructions (“Athletic Trainer, Healthcare Program”). These trainers serve as a crucial part of an athlete getting back into their sport. Athletic trainers usually work under the direction of a physician, so they are like the Doctor’s healing hands in action.
Regular physical activity improves quality of life, longevity of life, and brings happiness.

Do you want to look better? Decrease your risk of disease? Enjoy your life longer? By being regularly active you can score for all of the above. Exercise can be very beneficial when done regularly. How often does regularly mean? According to the Canadian statistics 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise can bring great results to the human body. There are many benefits resulting from exercising, and living an active life:
According to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA), the definition of athletic training is this. “Athletic training encompasses the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of emergent, acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions.” In other words, athletic trainers are to work with athletes or nonathletes, and take care of them. They prevent injuries or disease from happening with proper training, care, and nutrition. If a disease of injury is to occur, then athletic trainers will rehabilitate them to their maximum physical capacity.
When we talk about exercise, we nearly always refer to physical exercise. Exercise is the physical exertion of the body thus making the body do a physical activity which results in a healthy or healthier level of physical fitness and both physical and mental health. That is to say, exercise aims to m...
I was not expecting to do this exercise during this seminar. However, I really enjoyed it because of how therapeutic it was. Drawing these three different symbols/shapes in order to create an image helped me to reflect back onto my life. It was such a simple task, but it definitely made me consider my relationships with family members, friends, and with myself. I cannot imagine that everyone took it as seriously as I did because it was just a fun exercise, but I could not help but to really think about what I wanted to draw. I wanted it to mean something to me.
Exercising frequently can be a positive habit, but if a person becomes addicted to it, it has negative effects as well. Exercise addiction is not easy to identify because, like any other addict, they tend to deny they have a problem. This addiction is referred to by a variety of names such as exercise dependence, exercise addiction, obligatory exercise, compulsive athleticism, compulsive exercising, and exercise abuse. "Men and women are equally prone to exercise addiction, which affects about three percent of the population, according to a study at the University of Southern California. Exercise addicts usually work out two or three hours a day, six or seven days a week." (Seymour) Exercise addicts, of both genders, do not understand the difference between pushing their limits and overstepping them.
According to Spain (2016), “more than 60% of all college students report they do not get the recommended weekly amount of exercise” (page 1. This is a distressingly high number. It is essential for the still developing college student to incorporate physical exercise into their daily life for not only physical reasons and benefits, but for their mental health as well. College students are under a great amount of stress and it is occasionally a challenge to fit other activities into their schedule, but with repetition it can certainly be done and the benefits are well beyond just some weight loss. In nursing some of the goals are to promote health and prevents illness, exercise does just that. It is
In the year 1996, through a report by the Surgeon General, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) created a report called At-A-Glance, that contains information regarding the benefits that physical activity has when regarding health issues that face people as well as how said physical activity impacts their life in a positive way. The report combines different information gathered over the years that includes information regarding demographics as well as information regarding how frequency and intensity affect the impact that physical activity has. The Center or Disease Control states that “This report brings together, for the first time, what has been learned about physical activity and health from decades of research.”
...r daily activities, including their effort and ability contributing in their classroom performance.as a result of exercise, student’s energy balance also related to encouraging fitness outside the classroom because of the behavioural changes of their energy expenditure. Student’s risk of obesity is decreased by physical activity modifying their body composition. Beneficial changes to student’s immune systems comes from their interaction with structured and social exercise. This lowers students’ risk of becoming sick which can also relate to their classroom performance as they will not be missing vital learning time.
When hearing the words exercise and transportation together, most default to the basic modes such as walking, running, and biking. What these people do not know is the fact that something as simple as cycling can help prevent diseases such as obesity, cancer, mental illness, diabetes, and heart problems. Physical activity is crucial in todays world because is provides a multitude of health benefits in the long run. In an attempt to increase physical activity and overall health in college students, an Exercise is Medicine intervention must be created. For example, changing the way students get to class, meaning an alternative from walking or bus, so that they get involved in a different type of physical activity. It is important for students

Frequent exercise comes with benefits. Firstly physical activity can cause a person to loose weight. In recent years experiments have been done to support the claim that exercise helps a person loose weight. Nevertheless those experiments have shown that exercise alone does not ensure rapid weight loss but can help with maintaining weight (Day, J. 2014)....
One study reported that most college students between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four do not reach the recommended standards for physical activity, and in that same study 22% of the students reported that they took part in no physical activity at all throughout the examination period (Huang, 2003). Physical activity is a vital part of every human’s life. It greatly prevents dangerous diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. It is also a key factor in strengthening one’s bones and muscles, and on top of all of that it can help extend your life. There is no real excuse to not going out and exercising, and your body benefits from it greatly (Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and
