...Benefits of Youth Sports“Sports do not build character. They reveal it,” said John Wooden, legendary UCLA basketball coach. Playing sports not only provides physical activity, but also other positive benefits. This is especially true for children. A well-structured and organized youth program will provide benefits and positive experiences for young athletes. While children are having fun participating in sports they are also building character, learning to work as a team, and playing fairly. Most people think the only benefits of sports are physical. Sports are more than just developing hand-eye coordination and burning calories, youth sports provide many developmental benefits, physical benefits, and psychological benefits. In addition to improved physical health, sports play a positive role in the development of youth. Studies show that the five “Cs”—competence, confidence, connections, character, and caring—develop positively through the participation in sports at a young age (Luxbacher 2). Each one of the five “Cs” are important components of youth development. The skills that are learned through playing sports, such as the discipline of training, learning teamwork and following the leadership of coaches provide athletes with lifelong skills. Important lifelong skills also include goal setting, time management, the value of planning ahead, honesty, respect, and an appreciation for diversity (Wood 3). At a young age, sports help teach youth how to handle adversity by showing...

...Round is a Shape Dennis R. Mayo, Jr. DeVry University Round is a Shape According to a report from Harvard Medical School, recent data from the National Center for Health Statistics shows that approximately one child out of every three in the United States is overweight (Fighting, 2014). Additionally, a Centers for Disease Control study shows that approximately seventeen percent of children in the U.S. (12.7 million), between the ages of two and nineteen years, are obese (Childhood, 2015). That in itself should be cause for concern. These kind of numbers are very alarming and show just how serious the situation is. What seemed to be a problem that has recently emerged, childhood obesity has been a growing concern for years. How did this happen? What is causing such a catastrophic health concern in our children? Politicians argue the fact that advertisement is to blame as this is an obvious scapegoat. We need to open our eyes to what should be an elementary problem and solution. While there are several contributing factors to this epidemic, poor diet and lack of physical activity stand out as the direct cause. Local leaders and parents must take a more active role to encourage their children to become more active and eat healthier to combat the overwhelming crisis of childhood obesity in the United States. Balanced is a term that should be in everyone’s vocabulary concerning the health of our children. A National Institutes of Health study indicated that obesity is a result...

...Mark Gaston, Amber Patterson and Mallory Winters Dr. Dlugonski Exercise Adherence 20 March 2014 Exercise 1000 Intervention The most important characteristic of EXSS 1000 students that should be considered when designing a physical activity intervention would be recognizing that the students are just beginning college. Most students enrolled in EXSS 1000 are incoming freshmen that are just moving to college and are probably not yet settled into their new lifestyle. EXSS 1000 students also probably do not have a full understanding that exercise has long-term benefits for health and is not just a method to help avoid the “freshmen-fifteen.” When designing a physical activity intervention for a client, it is always important to consider their current level of physical fitness. The students of these exercise classes will have various levels of physical fitness, but overall, everyone should be healthy enough to participate in some type of exercise program. Because we are in North Carolina, a state that has one of the highest obesity rates in the US, the students of these classes may be less fit than normal fit averages. In turn, not only do we need to look at the specific fitness levels of the students but also at the general perception of exercise that a college student would hold. The clients need to be able to see how easily they can increase their physical activity. The more apparent it is made to them...

...In the article “Green Exercise” by Alan Fogel, he explains why exercising outdoors has more benefits than exercising indoors. Green activity is when a person participates in outdoor activities such as bike riding, running, playing sports, etc. According to Fogel, there are more positive benefits when it comes to outdoor exercising. A few examples includes increased feelings of happiness, tranquility, relaxation, and energy. This article was a reliable source in the sense that the author was well educated and did his research. He included outside studies and linked them into his article. His article was slightly biased in the sense of his previous experiences of enjoying the outdoors as a child. There is also little information about the positive effects of participating in indoor activities to counter argue to not sound so biased. This article Green Exercise is important because it does demonstrate the power of nature as it relates to humans and success. This article provides evidence that Green exercise is a positive aspect in an individual’s life. In the article by Katherine Reed called “A repeated measures experiment of Green exercise to self-esteem in the UK school children.” In the experiment children were asked to run 1.5 miles in indoor and outdoor settings in order to determine if there was any affect in their self-esteem. As a result when it came to the children there was not a significant difference when it came to exertion or enjoyment between the indoor...

...Behavior Change Project The Transtheoretical Model The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is an integrative model developed in the early 1980’s by Prochaska and DiClemente to conceptualize the process of intentional behavior change (Pro- Change Behavior Systems, 2015). The TTM emerged from a comparative analysis of the most powerful principles and processes of change from leading theories in psychotherapy and behavior change, including Conscious Raising by Sigmund Freud, Contingency Management by BF Skinner and Helping Relationships by Carl Rogers (Hayden, 2014; Hergenrather, 200*; Pro- Change Behavior Systems, 2015). Whereas other models of behavior change focus exclusively on certain dimensions of change such as social or biological, the TTM seeks to include and integrate key constructs from other theories into a comprehensive theory of change that can be applied to a variety of behaviors, populations, and settings including treatment settings, prevention and policy-making settings. Thus the name Transtheoretical (Pro- Change Behavior Systems, 2015). Stages of change It is not easy to for individuals to change from an unhealthy behavior to a healthy one. Therefore, the TTM focuses on the decision-making of the individual. It operates on the assumption that people do not change behavior quickly and decisively, rather, change in behavior, particularly long-term behavior, occurs continuously through a cyclical process (Boston University School of Public Health, 2016). The...

...because of the longterm effects on the rest of a child's life. Having a healthy upbringing can influence choices later on in life to prevent obesity, increase activity, and create a foundation for social skills. Parent-Tot programs deal with many of the determinants of health that are outside the scope of the health care system. A child's social support networks are just as important as maintaining their physical exercise. These play gyms are great for learning social skills, for instance children learn how to take turns, and exercise patients. Play gyms also allow other adults to interact with each other. Social support networks for the entire family are important to allow parents to be the best they can be for their children. Perry et. Al ( 2014) states “Support from families and friends and from informal and formal groups can provide practical aid during times of crisis and emotional support in times of distress and change.”( p.7) Building a strong community can directly influence how the...

...“Physical Exercise is the performance of some activity in order to develop or maintain physical fitness and overall health” (ScienceDaily, 2014). (DiBrezzo, Glave & Fort, 2009) state that exercise improves energy levels, reduces cardiovascular disease, boosts self-esteem, increases metabolism, and has many other positive effects on the body. The American College of Sports Medicine (1998) explains that adults should be exercising 3-5 days a week for around 20-60 minutes a day, although study has shown that 30 minutes is a suitable amount of time. Study has shown that only 1 in 3 men participate in regular exercise and this is because they either, don't have enough time, due to family and time constraints, they either don't have enough money or they're too out of shape. This seems the be the problem with single and married men across the world. (Lee & Cloutier Laffrey, 2008) did a study in 2008 that consisted of 137 men. 47% of men were married and the others were currently not in a relationship. The study had proven that 10% stated that they did not engage in any physical activity and 23% did not meet the recommended level of 30 minutes of moderate exercise. This study had also proven that single men exercised more than the married men, this is because of Family Demands, such as children, time constraints and mainly a lack of motivation. (Lee, Y. & Cloutier Laffrey) also agree with (Dowda, Ainsworth, Addy, Saunders, & Riner, 2003) that men with education and are...

...Saunders et al (2009) proposed that more than 400 hours of hypoxic exposure is required to elicit any erythropoietin changes. Álverez – Herms et al (2015) claims you need 3-4 weeks minimum of 12 hours per day exposure for benefits. Schuler et al (2007) measured the time course of adaptions to altitude. They took measures daily on day 1, 7, 14 and 21. They suggested that at least 14 days is required to maximise the benefits. Little changes were seen after 14 days. EPO peaked on day 1 and remained elevated for the duration of hypoxia exposure, accelerating erythropoiesis (Chapman et al 2014). Arterial oxygen content decreased on initial exposure but increased after 21 days to allow increases in training. The increase in oxygen saturation increases the amount O2 unloaded in the capillary bed and working muscles thus increasing power and endurance performance (Randel 2007). The highest increase in V02 max and time to exhaustion occurred between 7-14 days as a result of recovery of blood volume. There was no significant changes in the days after. The changes in Hb mass correlate to the change in VO2 and time to exhaustion which all improve...
