Exercise And The Elderly: Guidelines And Practical Prescription Applications For The Clinician, Ann Y. Mcdermott, Heather Mernitz Feb 2004

Exercise And The Elderly: Guidelines And Practical Prescription Applications For The Clinician, Ann Y. Mcdermott, Heather Mernitz

Kinesiology and Public Health

Objective: To review the components of exercise prescription and approaches to developing an exercise prescription for older persons. Methods: Case studies and qualitative review of the literature. Results: Effective exercise programs specify the appropriate mode, intensity, duration, frequency, and progression of training. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, patients should participate in aerobic exercise 3 to 5 days per week, maintaining target heart rate for 20 to 60 minutes. Resistance training should be performed at least twice per week and should target the 7 major muscle groups. Proper technique is necessary and speed and breathing should be controlled. …

Exercise And The Elderly: A Scientific Rationale For Exercise Prescription, Heather Mernitz, Ann Y. Mcdermott

Kinesiology and Public Health

Objective: To review the benefits of exercise intervention in older persons and the role of exercise in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. Methods: Qualitative assessment of the literature focusing on randomized controlled trials. Results: Participation in regular physical activity, including aerobic exercise and strength training, can improve health, functional ability, and quality of life in older persons. Higher levels of aerobic activity are associated with increased physical fitness, decreased total mortality, and improvements in cardiovascular risk profile. Resistance training combats myopathy and osteopenia and increases muscle endurance and function. Additional benefits from exercise include improved bone health and …

Promoting Long-Term Weight Control: Does Dieting Consistency Matter?, Amy A. Gorin, Suzanne Phelan, Rena R. Wing, James O. Hill

Kinesiology and Public Health

OBJECTIVE: The present study examined whether long-term weight loss maintenance is enhanced by maintaining the same diet regimen across the week and year or by dieting more strictly on weekdays and nonholiday periods than at other times.
METHOD: National Weight Control Registry participants (N¼1429) indicated on an eight-point scale whether they dieted more strictly on weekends than weekdays, adhered to the same diet regimen throughout the week, or dieted more strictly on weekdays. Participants responded to a similar question about holiday and vacation eating. Participants were then followed prospectively to determine whether scores on these questions were related to self-reported …

Kinesiology and Public Health

Objective: This pilot study assessed the short- and long-term effects of a modified cognitive behavioral treatment designed to facilitate obese patients' acceptance of a 5% to 10% reduction in initial weight.
Research Methods and Procedures: Participants were 17 women with a mean age of 46.5 ± 9.7 years and BMI of 34.7 ± 2.9 kg/m2. They participated in a 40-week program that included four phases. The first discussed the benefits of modest weight losses and the potential adverse effects of unrealistic expectations. Phase II provided instruction in traditional cognitive behavioral methods of weight control Phase III focused on …

Handling Catastrophic Failures In Scalable Internet Applications, Michael Haungs, Raju Pandey, Earl Barr Jan 2004

Handling Catastrophic Failures In Scalable Internet Applications, Michael Haungs, Raju Pandey, Earl Barr

Computer Science and Software Engineering

User perceived quality is the most important aspect of Internet applications. After a single negative experience, users tend to switch to one of the other myriad of alternatives available to them on the Internet. Two key components of Internet application quality are scalability and reliability. In this paper, we present the first general-purpose mechanism capable of maintaining reliability in the face of process, machine, and catastrophic failures. We define catastrophic failures as events that cause entire clusters of servers to become unavailable such as network partitioning, router failures, natural disasters, or even terrorist attacks. Our mechanism utilizes client-side tunneling, clientside …
