Only recently, due to the comforts of the industrialized world, has exercise’s value been fully realized. This statement combined with a plethora of scientific research from credible sources such as the CDC, demonstrating the importance of exercise and the contrast in health between those who partake in exercise and those who do not, appeals to the reader’s logic. The historical context and the modern scientific research working in tandem allow the reader to deduce the importance of exercise and its health implications, and by association, the importance of a pill that could replace…
Professional Exercise Physiologists are expected to support the different interventions used for health and fitness, prevention and rehabilitation through research. Athletic Therapists must provide excellent knowledge and technique in their execution but they don’t have to provide scientific evidence behind the technique; at times they must act fast and know their limitations when providing health services to others. In general, both of the professions have different responsibilities and obligations even though they both work to serve the public Certified Exercise Physiologists and Certified Athletic Therapists are two unique professions that are both dedicated to improving and maintaining the health and overall function of individuals worldwide. Although there are many differences when comparing both of their scope of practices, there are also many similarities that can be noted. First off, in order to begin working in either of the two professions, one must successfully graduate from a program of a recognized institution, containing courses that are…
Chapter 14 studies careers in therapeutic exercise. Therapeutic exercise is defined as the “systematic and scientific application of exercise and movement experiences to develop or restore muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, neuromuscular coordination, cardiovascular efficiency, and other health and performance factors” (Lecture). The goals of therapeutic exercise professionals are to help people acquire skills and to restore lost functions that are considered normal or expected for everyday living. There are both rehabilitative and habilitative therapeutic exercises. Rehabilitative exercises help rehabilitate postsurgical trauma, musculoskeletal and athletic injuries, psychological disorders and cardiopulmonary systems.…
The world is constantly changing, and the same can be said for technology. The many fields of Exercise Science have taken advantage of the new forms of technology that have become present. With the new technology, Exercise Scientists can look more into common factors in sports, especially baseball, and ensure that they can help prepare athletes to reduce the risk of injury, and progress themselves to become better than they previously were. They can also track new things, and new measurements that can be beneficial to athletes, especially in…

Athletic Training Athletic Trainers are related to doctors. They work hard to provide their patients with the best care to help recover from any illness or injury. Trainers do their best to get patients back to their normal state of health. They also inform patients with proper exercises and how to properly care for their injuries at home. I will inform the reader on the job description, salary, and requirements for athletic training.…
The purpose of this paper was to address the challenges of how the field of kinesiology can exploit the advantages of multiple scholarly emphases while minimizing the disadvantages. The author claims that this is important to the absence or presence of agendas determines the coherence or fragmentation of both the department and the field. Due to the multiple agendas immediately raise doubts about the potential of a single department or even the field at large to fill these agendas successfully or even adequately. The author expresses concern to the de-emphasize and elimination for practice and performance of physical activity in kinesiology departments.…
Dr. Hambrecht's study is about how excerise can help your heart more than a heart medical procedure. The study's says that if people get at least 30 minutes of moderate excerise like brisk walking for five days a week that it will help your heart more than a Angioplasties. This is because Angioplasties only help with opening arteries, while excerise can give you that and a lot of other health benifits. However, Angioplasties is the easiest opinion, as it only takes one day to do, while excerise takes a couple of week or even months to see the full benefits. However, I still thinkthat Dr. Hambrecht's sutdy will affect one's outlook on excerise.…
To ensure reasonable data, the result were recorded before and after the workout of four different males and four different females. Based on the results, it was concluded that during exercise cardio function would increase due to the fact that the body is using more energy and oxygen. Also it was concluded that gender does play a role in the cardio system. Based on the overall results, the hypothesis that exercise does play a role in heart rate and function was…
Endurance exercise increases the ability of skeletal muscle and fat oxidation due to that it increases the mitochondrial density, oxygen delivery to muscle and the activities of the enzymes involved in oxidation (Melanson et al., 2009). The skeletal muscle type I (slow/oxidative) and type II (fast/glycolytic) display differences on the contraction of metabolism and fatigue. Type I muscle fibres have a tremendous capacity for oxidative metabolism, resulting from the significant number of capillaries and Krebs cycle enzymes, which are involved in fatty acid oxidation (Taylor and Bachman, 1999). Type IIa fibres hold the intermediate level of oxidative capacity, which usually overlaps with type I fibres. Type IIb fibres are the almost exclusive reliance on fuel and sugar, glucose and glycogen (Taylor and Bachman, 1999).…
Nutrition is an important aspect of everyone’s lives especially for athletes. The food we eat impacts our strength, training, performance and recovery. (Fitzgibbon, 2017) Rowing is a physically demanding sport due to the need to generate large forces and propel the boat at high speeds. (Mackenzie, 2017)…
Cardiovascular fitness is the process in which oxygen is utilized by working the heart and lungs to produce oxygen-rich blood, and transporting it to the muscle tissues within, which the human body then uses it as kinetic energy for physical activities. To maintain a healthy body, regular aerobic exercise like running, swimming, or biking for example, is needed to work all the muscles, and most importantly the heart and lungs. Cardiovascular fitness is essential for weight loss, regulating sugar, lowering cholesterol, releasing happy endorphins, and providing more energy for the person. Many people in our society do not exercise, which then results in obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke, or heart diseases. That is why regular exercise…
A Clinical exercise physiologist is a trained healthcare professional who works with patients with chronic diseases to be able to go through exercise training. Exercise training for patients with a chronic disease has shown to be a therapeutic benefit. Moreover, a clinical exercise physiologist works in a medically supervised environment under a licensed physician. A CEP is either licensed under the state law, holds a minimum of a master’s degree in kinesiology, exercise physiology, movement of science or a professional certification from a type of national organization or it must be equivalent to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). In addition, an individual that holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise movement science, kinesiology, or exercise physiology and is certified as an ACSM Clinical Exercise Specialist is qualified to perform the exercise physiology duties (Chase, 2015).…
HEALTH RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS Write the definition of each fitness components and how to improve each of them. Discuss how each of those fitness components can help you to improve your health or performance in a particular activity/sport. The health related fitness components consist of cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition and flexibility. CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS:…
Our health has many different components; you could be excellent at getting adequate physical fitness and still be unhealthy because you choose to eat nothing but pizza. A few of these components of health include: exercise, consumption, sleep, and genetic factors/risky behaviors. Exercise helps you balance out your calorie intake, in addition the calories you already burn due to body processes. The problem starts where you don’t get enough exercise and choose to eat to the point of gluttony. For my project I choose to walk an extra hour, three days a week, for five weeks.…
