The patient also needed a pregnancy test because she believed she could be pregnant. The Pregnancy Resource Center had told the patient that she was pregnant, but she believed she had a miscarriage since then.…
Anaerobic and aerobic exercise were determined to effectively influence muscle oxygen uptake at the cellular level. Evaluating and measuring the effectiveness of the two types of exercise on oxygen uptake would inform the advantages and disadvantages they have on muscles. Significant amounts of oxygen are consumed by the human muscles when moderate intensity aerobic work is performed. Contradictorily, anaerobic exercise causes the body to break down stored glycogen in muscles for energy. Therefore, oxygen availability, biological factors, and exercise intensity are factors contributing to muscle oxygen uptake.…

To know if you have chlamydia, your doctor is probably able to see symptoms from seeing a discharge from the cervix area (Planned Parenthood 2014). They can take a cell sample of your discharge from the penis, cervix, urethra or the anus (Planned Parenthood 2014). The infection is common amongst women between the ages of 15 to 19 and African-Americans (Planned Parenthood 2014). Apparently studies have found the infection is found amongst 10% of all female Army recruits, 10% of female college freshmen and 14% of women in managed- care plans (Beck 2009).…
Prevention is better than cure and there is evidence that a programme of eccentric hamstring exercises can reduce the incidence of hamstring muscle injuries. The eccentric exercise, such as Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) can be done in the field without the use of any equipment. The NHE has been shown to increase the eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles in male professional soccer players. Players start in a kneeling position, with the torso from the upward held rigid and straight.…
Patients that come in the clinic that are at high risk, or that engage in sexual activity will be provided with free education. This education will give a detailed description of the disease and the consequences of not being diagnosed. It will also promote protection by using condoms. This will help protect the patient from STI’s and other communicable diseases. Along with education patient’s also need to be screened for chlamydia.…
In the past few months, I have had the invaluable opportunity to observe one of the Athletic Trainers at The University of Miami and see firsthand what it is like to work for a Division 1 athletic program. Many people never see what goes on behind the scenes in order for their favorite athletes to perform at the highest level during sporting events. Being in the Athletic Training Facility gave me this exposure and helped me to understand just how essential the role of the athletic trainer is for a program. I was able to apply the information that we covered in class in order to get a better understanding of why the Athletic Trainer made certain decisions in regards to their athletes’ health. Every moment I spent in the Athletic Training Facility,…
Strenuous Exercise Exercises that cause the heart to beat very rapidly, such as running or playing sports, can increase a senior's risk of developing blood clots. A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that intense exercise poses risk for developing venous thrombosis, a condition that causes dangerous blood clots to form. If your loved one has heart problems, walking, swimming or a light aerobics class can provide a good workout without overworking the heart. Isometric Exercises Exercises that cause muscles to tense but not contract can cause blood pressure levels to dangerously rise. Isometric exercises include weight lifting, push-ups, sit-ups and other resistance exercises.…
Exercise Physiology It has long been thought that strenuous or prolonged exercise can affect the human’s endocrine system. This is an interesting scenario because endocrine system synthase performs as a negative feedback system. This means that when there is an unusually high level of a hormone in the blood, a signal will be sent back and production of that particular hormone will be stopped. The negative feedback system can easily keep all hormones levels at the optimal level for humans.…

The Social Psychology of Exercise Adherence According to Seguin (2010), exercise is defined as exerting physical effort to maintain or improve health and fitness. It is truly a remarkable concept in life, as it allows an individual to take control of personal health and wellbeing. Exercise compiled with a little bit of commitment to leading a better dietary lifestyle can produce amazing physical results, but more importantly incredible psychological results as well. The phrase, “you look good, you feel good” has been thrown around for years, but in fact there is proof through research that backs this up with direct correlation to exercise.…
