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
Lecture: “Occurs when the stresses of excessive training can exceed the body’s ability to recover and adapt.”
What is surprising about experience is that it is not as brutal as I imagined it to be. I thought it would be a place for a lot of super experienced athletes that work at very high intensities at all times but I was surprised to see that the programs are designed and modified for all kinds of people. I have realized that Crossfit is a place to go for those individuals that have no experience in sports and exercise. A lot of people that lack knowledge of how to train particular muscle groups or even train for a desired outcome, usually get injured due to lack of proper professional guidance. At Crossfit Bezel, Mr. Shaffer is a highly skilled and experienced strength and conditioning coach that provides proper exercise education to the members
Here, in BMT, I found myself, weeks later, being questioned by my Training Instructor about a discrepancy in my medical records. There is a test that is done before you leave for BMT, a simple test that measures your ability to lift deadweight from the ground to above your head, known as the X-Factor. SSgt Garr h...
In modern society, people take physical appearance quite seriously and will spend vast amount of time and money to transform their bodies. Some people rely surgeries to change themselves, while others spend lots of time in the gym and focus on their nutrition. Bodybuilding focuses on getting the largest muscles, while crossfit is about looking in shape, but not as big. Bodybuilders compete in competitions on how they look and crossfitters compete in physical competitions where they are to complete the workout as fast as possible. Nutrition is very important to crossfitters and bodybuilders. The way they train is also extremely important to them. Crossfit and bodybuilding use different methods to reach their goals.

Obesity is a growing issue across the United States. A study in 2009 showed that 35% of Americans were obese (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, 2012). Those within 35% are not the ones only suffering the effects related to obesity. In 1998, the medical costs of obesity were approximately 78.5 billion dollars. That number had risen to 147 billion as of 2006, and half of the costs were paid by Medicare and Medicaid (Finkelstein, Trogdon, Cohen, & Dietz, 2013). Obesity is defined as a weight higher than a healthy weight for a certain height. Obesity is determined by body mass index, which is calculated using height and weight, which is directly tied to the amount of body fat. A total BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese (Center for Disease Control, 2012). Proper Crossfit training promotes overall health and fitness, and could be a solution to the growing issue of obesity.
Fitness programs that promise extreme results from the comfort and privacy or your own home are very popular and gym franchises seem to be in every corner; however many people fail to see the results they want. The problem with at-home programs is that they offer too much leeway and not enough structure and real guidance, and going to the gym can be very intimidating, baffling and frustrating. An alternative that in recent years has gain popularity, and transformed the life of many is CrossFit, which presents high intensity training with functional movements in shorts periods of time to maximize results. These workouts happen in a group setting with the presence of a coach who makes sure the movements are being done correctly and safely. Successful fitness transformations cannot occur in isolated settings, either at home or in traditional gyms. People who want to improve their fitness level should do CrossFit. By offering, dynamic routines that are always challenging and engaging, encouraging positive dietary changes, and with the continuous support of the community, CrossFit promotes long-term sustainable health and fitness lifestyle changes.
When I decided I was ready to have kids, I thought I knew all that I was in for. Nights with little sleep, shirts covered in baby puke, rushed dinners, and a constant mess of toys in the living room. Now that I’m a mom of a baby and a toddler, those predictions became my reality. But you know what I wasn’t prepared for? That I’d be doing freakin’ “Mom Crossfit” every day of my life.
With CrossFit being considered a high intensity exercise, just a single workout for 20 minutes can burn up to nine times more fat than a moderate-intensity work out that last 45 minutes (Herz). Another reason the CrossFit population is growing is due to the passionate adherence, being able to complete a workout that is physically difficult and almost feels impossible brings the sense of accomplishment out in people. When needed the workouts are scaled to the weight each person needs, but no matter what everyone is giving 100% effort (Herz). People tend to push themselves harder when they have a group of people doing the same thing they are, which is what makes CrossFit workouts fun and more enjoyable. Everyone around you is fighting to finish the workout or working to push themselves to the last second, all to make you as an individual stronger or
Aerobic exercise involves improving the cardiovascular system. It increases the efficiency with which the body is able to utilize oxygen (Dintiman, Stone, Pennington, & Davis, 1984). In other words, aerobic exercise means that continuous and large amounts of oxygen are needed to get in order to generate the amount of energy needed to complete the workout. The most common type of aerobic exercise is long-distance running, or jogging. While running, the body requires large amounts of energy in order for the body to sustain energy. “During prolonged exercise, most of the energy is aerobic, derived from the oxidation of carbohydrates and fats” (Getchell, 1976).
Many studies have come to the conclusion that individuals who participate in health and wellness routines as well as a regular exercise program have a relatively increased degree of energy, lower healthcare bills, much better quality of life along with less stress, as well as improved health. Staying in good physical shape and healthy calls for everyone, to be conscious of their health, to be aware of the key fitness and health components and to follow them.
It is considered common knowledge that physical activity is the key to a healthy life, both physically and mentally. When someone is trying to get in shape or stay in shape they generally start doing two things, eating healthier and exercising. When they are not feeling the best mentally, they can exercise to release endorphins, improving mood. But what does exercising actually do for your body and what is resistance training? More specifically what impact does resistance training have on your overall health, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and mental health. According to Richard Weil (2015), resistance training is, “any exercise that causes the muscles to contract against an external resistance with the expectation of increases in strength, tone, mass, and/or endurance.” Specific focus will be placed on the duration, intensity and frequency of resistance training to show results within these different aspects of health. It is of clinical relevance, especially for people with heart disease, muscle pain, or a mental health issue. It is also important for people who are healthy, but want to prevent morbidities and decrease risk of early mortality.
To be able to understand that some people like going to the gym, some don’t, some people like to run and others not so much. As a profession in training, need to understand other peoples needs and desires when it comes to any physical activity. For one I use to have a trainer before in which I would always be asked on what I want to work on and what are the things I don’t do as much. This can be related to our self development and how we learn to like a certain activity even if before we never used to like it. It is important to understand the customers circumstances as well as their drive to work towards an attribute or a goal of theirs. Our physical activity preferences can relate to our past experience, maybe people got injured and don’t like doing a certain workout again. There is also the idea in which the activity isn’t for them in all honesty, it just comes down to preference and our likes and dislikes. That is why it is huge for us to understand other’s perspectives on physical
