Exercise In Aging

Exercise In Aging
As humans age, their bodies slowly stop functioning efficiently and simple tasks become more
complicated. Many elderly people find it difficult to exert much movement for activities such as
climbing stairs and running. You can't prevent aging, but you can maintain your health as you age.
Exercise is crucial in order for the elderly to remain active and healthy. A plethora of health
conditions and limitations arise for people who are physically unfit. As you age, the risk only
increases. David Myers (2013) explains, "Exercise helps fight heart disease by strengthening the
heart, increasing blood flow, keeping blood vessels open, and lowering both blood pressure and
blood pressure reaction to stress. Compared with inactive adults, people who ... Show more content

Lambert (2005) concluded that "Significant similar increases in strength, muscular endurance, and
stair climbing ability were observed for both the low and high intensity groups" (p.5). Exercise can
include, but is certainly not limited to working out in a gym or running on a track. "Among adults
aged 65 years and older, walking and gardening or yard work are, by far, the most popular physical
activities" (Older Adults, 1999). As is true for all ages, finding an activity that is simple and that you
enjoy which also engages your heart and improves your muscular strength and endurance will result
in a higher rate of commitment to exercising. "Research shows no matter what your age, you stand
to gain significant improvements in strength, range of motion, balance, bone density and mental
clarity through exercise" (Mercola,

Plyometric Exercises
Plyometric exercises allow the increase of an athlete capacity to store and produce elastic energy
exerted by muscles during its extension and contraction intervals. In football the requirement for
power (speed–strength) is predominant during a football play, the football player often has to shift
body mass to lower body/limbs extremities (feet, legs and torso) and coordinately apply explosive
power in order to shot/manoeuvre the ball. Firstly this shift of body mass and explosive display of
force is often performed single legged (ball shots, manoeuvring, cuts) therefore the inclusion of
single leg hurdle hops is suggested. Secondly, the requirement for explosive vertical leg drive is
essential in situations where the player has to jump, anticipating

Current physical activity: three times a week – including jogging, badminton, hula hoop or others.
2. The client studied for two years in college back in Malaysia before transferring to Purdue.
According to her, they had mandatory exercise course that she had to take at that time. They have
various selections for the course. The classes were twice a week and about 50 minutes per class
period. She choose dancing for her first year in college and badminton for her second year. During
two years, she also went swimming or other exercise with friends during weekends. After coming to
Purdue, she perform exercise about three times a week. Though there is no longer course
requirement for exercising here at Purdue, she still want to keep a habit of exercising to shape her
body. The usual physical activities she has are running, badminton or playing with hula hoop. For
the running and badminton, she exercises for about 30 minutes every time. She does hula hoop for at
least 5 minutes every time.
3. The client wants to burn more calorie by doing exercise. She believes that the food in United
States have higher calorie compared to Malaysia, and she has to exercise to get away the extra
calories that she consumed. She sometimes has some cheat meals that higher her calorie intake, so

Overuse On Exercise
I have been rummaging around recent studies that are all showing that when people exercise on an
daily bases, some of them end up overdoing it and end up harming themselves in the process. The
article "Exercise Addiction in Men When Exercise Becomes Too Much" clearly states "What was
once gratifying becomes painful and controlling. It becomes a bad thing, but they can't get out of it."
(Allen, 2015). This supports that the overuse on exercise can consequently stop helping someone
and start hurting them. This study done by Psychiatrist Alayna Yates, a professor at the University of
Hawaii, helped the idea of when people start over exercising it can eventually lead to expansive
bodily harm. This article helped support that when someone overexercise

Depression Exercise
Exercise and Depression
The purpose of the trial was to see the effects of exercise on depression and neuroendocrine stress
hormones such as urinary cortisol and epinephrine. The study consisted of two hundred sixty six
volunteers who were students of a nursing school in Thailand. All the individuals went through a
screening test, CES–D, which was a self–report test in which they would rank common symptoms
of depression to determine if they fall within the range of mild to severe. Forty nine volunteers were
chosen and split into two groups : group A (participating in a physical exercise program for eight
weeks) and group B (participating in the same daily routine as normal for eight weeks). The trial

Since it is a topic that lately has been of hot debate on the news and articles found within the
internet, in the future I would spread this study to different ranges of groups such as adolescent
males, adult men and females and even children that are younger than adolescents because
depression is not found within just one specific age group. I would do this so the study can highlight
more of how exercise affects depression within a typical population. As well I would split the
participants of a future study into more than two groups, around possibly four in total. By adding
two more groups of different exercise intensities, this can help us predict if higher levels of exercise
intensity make a bigger difference or be less beneficial compared to the normal physical exercise
program that was conducted over a 8 week time frame originally. I would continue to keep the
control group in order to have it be used as a comparison. My big question next would be, "Are
there any other variables that would be as or more helpful to combat depression instead of

Exercising The Exercise Of Exercise
Many people have a different opinion on working out. Some might say that it is "too hard" or that
"it's not for them" but, little do they know that it is much more than just working muscles in your
body. Exercising is not only working on the outside but also on the inside. Exercising pushes you to
do things that normal you wouldn't want to do or think that you could do. When exercising you are
working your brain in ways that it is not normal worked. Many people do not understand the
importance of exercising and do not get the recommended amount of exercise. According to Centers
of Disease Control (CDC), "80 percent of American adults don't get the recommended exercise."
323,607,375 million people live in the United States and only 80 percent exercise. As a result in
regular exercise, one's mind, attitude, and how one lives their day to day life is surprisingly affected.
However, in this day and age people exercise to achieve the best looking body but, many people also
forget that exercising is not only working muscles in your body but also working the mind just as
much. According to Princeton Brain and Spin, "The brain is arguably the most important organ in
your body." Your brain is no different than the rest of the muscles in your body. You can either use it
or lose it. There are many different ways to exercise the brain, it doesn 't have to be an extremely
intense workout. Taking your dog for a walk, playing outside with your kids, skipping, jumping and

Exercise and the Heart Heart disease is still the leading cause of death for men and women in the
United States, despite all efforts to educate people on how it can be prevented. The most common
cause of heart disease is coronary artery disease, a condition wherein the blood vessels in the heart
become narrowed and stiff, leading to damage of the heart muscle. Although heart disease is more
common among elderly individuals, studies show that it develops even during early and mid–
adulthood. Aside from aging and genetic factors, other factors that significantly increase one's risk
of developing heart disease include smoking, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle. Studies show that

Exercise Among College Students : Exercise
Abstract Obesity has been a struggle that Americans have been trying to fight over the years but
according to study's many Americans don't exercise at all. Although exercise is encouraged to
Americans the obesity rates continue to increase. College students are vulnerable to weight gain
because of the environment and obstacles that surround them. A survey was conducted at the
University of Texas at El Paso asking the students questions towards exercising. This literature
review will inform the reader how exercise plays an important role in a student's life benefiting them
in a variety of ways.

Lack of exercise affects all individuals in any type of discourse community. Therefore college
students should be encouraged to get exercise being that the students are vulnerable to gaining
weight through college. Nelson (2009) expresses how parents are the encouragers and they report
that 52% of students do not get exercise. If parents can encourage students to study, make friends,
and join sports then why don't they encourage them to exercise? Many college students are not
aware of the importance of exercising and the benefits it comes with. A survey was taken at the
University of Texas at El Paso asking the college students how important exercising was to them.
Figure 1 shows the results:
Out of 23 students 11 felt like exercising was extremely important. There was 2 students who
believed exercise was slightly important which explains the numbers of Americans participating in
physical activity going down. According to Desai (2008) "overweight and obesity are increasing
nationally" (p. 1). In some cases lack of knowledge toward exercising can result in not getting the
amount of exercise needed for the body and brain respond properly. Aballay (2013) informs the
audience that the "National comparative studies found that the prevalence of obesity in the adult
population is over 20% in 17 of 20 Latin American countries" (p. 2). The obesity rates are high in
many countries; many have adjusted to this new lifestyle. According to Knopp (2010) the average

Teaching Exercises : Basic Exercises
Five Basic Exercises
There are many avenues a trainer can take to teach exercises to a dog using positive methods.
Starting from the simple exercises such as sit to more complex exercises like loose lead walking,
different methods are more suited to each exercise in order to efficiently reinforce the exercise to
become a learned behaviour. This essay will cover five basic exercises – sit, down, loose lead
walking, greeting behaviour and leave it – and the methods a trainer could use to teach them.
One of the easiest behaviours, Sit, is usually one of the first exercises taught to pups. A Sit comes
naturally to most dogs, although for some may find this position uncomfortable due to breed specific
abilities or their physical health. The method I would use first to teach a Sit is using luring, which
uses a primary reinforcer like food/treats to lure a dog into position (Miller, 2008). To lure a dog into
a sit, make sure you first have their attention and that they know you have a treat in your hand. Then
hold the treat near the dog's nose and slowly move it above the nose and back towards their tail,
luring them with the treat.
While it may seem easier to just physically move or place the into position, a compulsive method
called modelling, this a) will not teach them to think for themselves, b) might scare them and c) they
might not be offering the behaviour because they are in pain and pushing them into position might
be causing them pain (Miller, 2006).

Cardio Exercises
With summer just around the corner, you will need to start work on the body parts that you have
kept covered through the winter. A combination of cardio exercise and strength training is what you
need to tone your muscles and get you ready for the beach. Here are a few targeted workouts to help
you get the perfect beach body: Squats This exercise targets your:
Quadriceps
Glutes
Abs
Lower back Stand with your feet apart at shoulder width. Place your hands behind your head with
your elbows out and squat. At the lowest point in the squat, you should lean forward so that your
shoulders are directly above your knees. Keep your back straight at all times. Perform three sets of
10 reps with 30–second rest breaks in between the sets. Not only is this exercise perfect for toning
your butt and legs, it can help to warm up your legs for more strenuous strength training. Lunges ...
Abdominal Exercises Planks This is the ultimate beach body exercise as it targets all of your core
muscles including: Abs
Upper back
Lower back
Glutes
Start face down on the floor, propped up on your elbows. Place your feet apart at shoulder width.
Raise your body up off the floor. Your only points of contact with the floor should be your forearms,
elbows and toes. Make sure that your butt is not elevated higher than your back. Your back should
be flat like a plank. Hold the position for 30 seconds and then lower yourself. Perform this exercise
5 times. Side Planks This exercise targets your: Abs
Shoulders
Arms
Upper back
Lower back Position yourself on your side with your feet together, propped up on your elbow. Your
elbow should be in line with your shoulder. Your body should be perfectly straight from your head
to your feet. Fight the temptation to drop your hip. Hold this position for 30 seconds then perform a
plank facing the opposite direction. Perform 3 sets on each

Cognitive Vs Exercise
Research shows that integrating exercise or meditation in one's life can result in tremendous benefits
both physically and mentally, including improving one's cognitive abilities. Cognition can be
defined as the capacity to perceive, retain, and apply information that has been learned through
experience or observation (Michelon, 2006). It entails aspects such as memory, perception, visual
and spatial processing, attention, motor skills, language, and executive function (Michelon, 2006).
Meditation and exercise can boost an individual's blood hormone levels, which can improve
memory, and decrease one's risk of developing dementia (Bergland, 2014). Learning can also be
positively affected as physical exercise maximizes the mind's capacity to take in information,
particularly by increasing the individual's motivation, attention span, ... Show more content on

Holistically, both activities can help fight diseases and decrease one's risk of having health
conditions such as cardiovascular disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and arthritis, among other
conditions (Warburton, Nicole, Bredin, 2006). Additionally, both activities can increase an
individual's energy as it helps spread oxygen and nutrients to different areas in the body more
efficiently and improve blood circulation. As one gets older, exercise and meditation can also help
reduce the risks of disabilities and chronic conditions such as obesity and cystic fibrosis Warner
(2006). Although exercise and meditation can aid an individual in a variety of ways, for the purpose
of this essay, I will specify how both can improve older individual's cognitive function by increasing
their brain plasticity, executive function, attentional control, and decrease one's risk of developing

Tribute To Exercise
Exercise should be regarded as a tribute to the heart, Gene Tunney. In fact, exercise improves the
lives of people in and around the world by providing them with a holistic sense of well–being and
can even help prevent chronic illness, disability, and premature death. Some of the benefits of
increased activity are improved health, reduced high blood pressure, reduced high cholesterol levels,
reduced sleeping disorder and reduced risk of major illness such as diabetes and heart disease.
According to Collins dictionary, exercise can be defined as a series of movements or actions which
you do to get fit, remains healthy, or practice for a physical education.
Therefore, it is positioned that one of the benefits of exercise is to improve physical health and

Exercise Dependence
Exercise may be the hub of a healthy lifestyle, yet some individuals become psychologically
dependent on it. The purpose of the current study is to examine the relationship between exercise
dependence and self determined motivation. An online survey was conducted used 185 participants
with a mean age of 20.22 years (117 females and 73 males) enrolled in Kinesiology 2276 at Western

Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Quesitonnaire–2 (Markland & Tobin, 2004). Results were
collected and analyzed with the use of the statistical software program SPSS v.20.0. It was found
that exercise dependence was positively correlated with constituents of the Self–determination
theory. Of these, introjected regulation seemed to be the best predictor for exercise dependence.
These results were consistent with the hypothesis and previous literature. It was concluded that ...

Why Is Exercise A Exercise Program?
You can hardly turn on the TV, radio, or computer without hearing or reading a report about the
many benefits of exercise. Research has shown that moving our bodies makes them healthier and
wards off diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer's. Yet with all of the scientific
data as proof, why is it still so hard to commit to an exercise program?
Many of us have the best of intentions. We buy workout clothes and sneakers, join the local gym,
and even get ourselves up early to take a spinning class or two. But then, after a few weeks, we once
again lose our motivation, break our resolutions, and fall back into our old habits.
We need only look to our early ancestors to understand why modern man may have an aversion to
exercise. Early man moved in order to stay alive. We had to wander sometimes for miles just to find
food, and run like the wind to escape becoming food to something big and ferocious. Everyday life
was a full–on workout filled with aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Back then, food was a precious
resource and we conserved our energy as much as possible to save it for real threats and
emergencies.
Our current lives are vastly different. We can get food 24 hours a day and, unless we happen to get
very unlucky during a camping trip, are rarely chased by bears or other wild animals. Our hardwired
instincts tell us there's not much reason to expend any energy – AKA – workout like a fiend.
But walking is something our ancestors did, and did a lot of.

You won't get a ripped physique from weightlifting alone. You will need to eat the proper diet and
this is achieved by cutting calories and eating healthy. The less fat you have on your frame, the more
ripped you will appear. That means you will need to diet in such a way that you become quite leaner
and more cut. If you are not serious about cleaning up your diet, you will not become ripped. That is
a fact!
And yes, you will positively need to perform a lot of cardio work. There are two reasons for this.
First, when you are doing a great deal of cardio work, you will burn more calories which means of
course, you will end up with a leaner and more ripped physique. There is another benefit to cardio
work that some might not be completely aware of. Namely, when you are doing your cardio
sessions, you are engaging all the muscles in your body and helping them to become stronger and
more defined. The higher the intensity of your cardio work the greater the potential for this outcome
to occur.
This three–pronged approach has many merits. In fact, you really would have a tough time getting a
ripped physique if you did not integrate all three of these components into your workouts. Those
that do put the proper effort into their workout sessions and also eat the right diet might find their
goals of becoming ripped and shredded could take as little as a few

Exercise Intervention
Exercise interventions:
An exercise intervention could be used especially because people who are depressed feel a sense of
worthlessness (as in the definition of depression, DSM–V ) . A pilot study by Nadine McGale et al
(2011) investigated the effectiveness of a team–based sport with an individual exercise and a control
condition of young men. This study included a 10–week randomized control trial and an 8–week
post intervention follow–up. A group of 104 sedentary males (exercise once or less per week) aged
between 18 and 40 years were randomly assigned to the three groups namely the team–based sport,
individual exercise and the control group (that received no intervention). The participants completed

One of the studies showed that a combination of exercise and counseling was more effective than
counseling alone (Rueter et al. 1982). Martinsen et al (1985) divided a group of 23 participants with
clinical depression into two groups – (i) a control group of 14 patients and (ii) a exercise group of 9
patients who were given TCAs (Tricyclic antidepressants) to augment treatment. It was seen that
both the group showed similar improvement in depressive symptoms. This does show that exercise
has an impact that is as good as medication to lower depressive

Exercise Is A Physical Activity
What if everyone around us was physically and mentally fit? Would we all live a happy, positive
life? How could it benefit us? According to www.cdc.gov (Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention), exercise is a physical activity that is planned, structured and repetitive for the purpose
of conditioning any part of the body. Exercise is used to improve health, maintain fitness and is
important as a means of rehabilitation. Because physical activity is beneficial both physiologically
and psychologically, more people should schedule it in their daily routine. Physical activity is one of
the most important things you can do for your body. Everyone hears that if you exercise at least
thirty minutes a week then you'll be in great shape. In reality, to maintain a fit, healthy body, you
should exercise sixty minutes each day of the week. Being active helps control your weight by
allowing your body to burn the calories that may have been stored as fat. Usually what causes
weight loss is decreased caloric intake. This is the total number of calories in a daily diet allocation.
The only way to conserve weight loss is to be occupied in a consistent state of physical activity. It's
best to be complied with a nutritious eating plan and consume less calories than what you burn each
day. Keep in mind that whatever stored fat you may have won't start burning until you've exercised
for over twenty minutes. Don't choose to be a lazy couch potato. A recent study published in the

Personal Exercise Analysis
Overall, my evaluation has revealed that my physical and nutritional health are both very good. For
example, most of my nutrient averages for the two days I tracked were okay, right on target. As well
as that, my physical health was very good; I had exercised 60 minutes most days and my exercises
exercised different parts of my body well. However, I could improve in some aspects of my health,
including my saturated fat levels. Although I could improve in some ways, I have excellent health
habits. As for my physical activity and health, I exercise immensely well. Every week day of this
week, I have both ran and biked. For running, I ran around 2 miles on a treadmill, as it is extremely
cold outside and I do not enjoy the cold at all. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In particular, I tend to do an extremely good job of eating foods that have lots of important essential
vitamins. These include vitamins A, B6, B12, C, and vitamin K. As well as essential vitamins, I did
a good job eating protein. This is true because my percentage of daily intake was straight in the
middle of the recommended range for the daily intake of protein. Also, my total amount of fat was in
the middle of the recommended range. This is immensely good, as eating too large amounts of very
fatty food could cause a person to gain lots of weight which can be dangerous towards his or hers
health and well–being. Finally, I did an amazing job not eating foods with a too extreme amount of
cholesterol. The recommended amount was to eat foods with a collective amount being less than
300 milligrams, and I ate an average amount of 122 milligrams, 178 milligrams less than the
recommended 300. In my opinion, that is very positive. However, I could have improved my eating
habits in several aspects of my essential nutrients, vitamins, and

Kinesiology And Exercise
Purpose of the Present Study
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of Kinesiology tape for increasing muscle
strength of lower leg and enhanced muscle function in male athletes. Also, to determine the role of
Kinesiology tape in injury prevention and sports rehabilitation.
Participants
Twenty physically active; 11 female and 9 male collegiate athletes around 21 and 24 (age mean:
23.8 yrs) who had been free from lower leg problems for 12 months and had no past history of lower
leg sprain participated in this study. Subjects with pre–existing hip, knee or thigh injury were
excluded from the study.All subjects had a comparative preparing volume (atleast 4 days/week and
maximum 5 days/week), which incorporated 2–hour sessions

Exercise Addiction
Once the symptoms of exercise addiction are clearly identified in a patient, medical and health
professionals should seek appropriate treatments tailored to find the source or route of their
addiction (Lane, 2008). Additionally, these professionals must differentiate if the addiction occurs in
the absence of an eating disorder. In some cases, an addiction to exercise is typically a
dissatisfaction with the individual's physical appearance. Under stress from this displeasure, exercise
is rationalized as a positive solution to combat this instead of turning to other potentially addictive
behaviors (Landolfi, 2012). The Exercise Dependence Scale and Exercise Addiction Inventory allow
individuals suffering from exercise addiction to be ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Childhood Exercise
Imagine growing up in a home where physical activity has never been a priority. You never once
saw your parents exercise or make an effort to go for a walk. Even though your family is slim and
eats a balanced diet, exercise wasn't a priority. You never learned how to exercise or was never
pushed to play sports. That was how it was for Jason. Pate et al., showed in a study how important
the surrounds of the child are for whether they exercise when young and how it affects their future.
Pate et al., showed that children who don't have that influence when younger are less likely to
exercise in adulthood. Jason is now 25 working a desk job from 9–6 Monday through Friday. Jason
has begun to feel sluggish and a little depressed from being in a cubital all day and not once has
exercised.

Jason ran his 5k in 29:27 making his goal of under 30 mins. The following week we re–tested
Jason's baseline to see his final numbers. Jason's mile time was recorded at 8:40, showing he
dropped 8 seconds from his first test. Jason increased the number of push ups by 9 by completing 21
push ups in a minute. Jason also increased the number of crunches from 40 to 53 crunches in a
minute.
With the exercise and diet changes Jason ended up losing 17 pounds that he had gained when he got
married. Through this 3 month plan Jason has gained a newfound desire to exercise and eat healthy.
Jason also decided he wants to train for a 10k in May along with losing the final 10 pounds he had
gained. We will work together to design a new and appropriate workout and diet plan for his new
goals. The plan to be Jason doing most of the planning and I will be there to answer any questions

Section 1: Description of Practice
Exercise is physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of
conditioning any part of the body and is used to improve physical health, enhance emotional well–
being and maintain fitness (Exercise Definition, 2014). For this assignment, I will explore the
mental and physical health benefits of exercise therapy and the potential it has in treating mental
illness. Despite the benefits, it remains a neglected intervention amongst mental health
professionals. Physical activity is not only beneficial to the physical health, but also the mental
health. Persons with mental illness are at greater risk for developing metabolic conditions, such as
diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In the United States, insurance and government funded programs will pay for disease treatment and
physical illness interventions, but these same programs typically will not pay for lower cost
interventions that might prevent the onset of mental illness, such as exercise therapy. Another reason
for being a neglected treatment option is that exercise is rarely acknowledged as an effective
treatment intervention due to the lack of knowledge the role of exercise plays in mental health
treatment (Jewell, 2010). We also need to teach patients how to exercise. It's important to build up
stamina, encourage them to start out slow to prevent over exacerbation, so they aren't quick to give
up. It's something that takes time, just like anything else and can even use medication as an
example. We never start out with the maximum dose of medication, always start low/slow and work
your way up. Other considerations for teaching are proper shoes and good hydration. Lack of
motivation is a potential barrier on the patient's part, which is why assessing the level of motivation
is necessary and using motivational interviewing techniques may be

As noted above, one randomized study found that kids showed improved mathematics skills after a
thirteen–week exercise program and other research indicates similar benefits. (Henry, potato) In an
experiment performed by Daniel Ardoy on sixty–seven children. Some were assigned to four
sessions each week of high intensity PE. After four months, these kids scored better than other kids
on tests of cognitive ability and earned higher grades at school. Adolescents assigned to less intense
PE workouts showed no cognitive improvements over kids in the control group. More recently, kids
who were assigned a daily schedule with more physical activity breaks outperformed their control–
group peers in mathematics and reading. (Henry, potato)

Exercise Analysis
Exercise is a very important way that improves people's mental health and something that also slows
mental aging. There are many ways that moving in certain ways not only helps people's body but
their mind as well. Moving around for health is something that every person will benefit from, and
exercise can be made to be just right for one person. Exercise can be made custom to anyone's
personal needs and there are many ways to exercise to the extent of what is comfortable for the
person. Activity using someone's body can help with depression, improve the brain's executive
function, improve immediate mental performance, and it helps people with their memory.
Firstly, exercise can help to limit or stop depression that a person experiences. In the article titled 6
Ways Exercise Makes Your Brain Better, it says "It cranks up the body's production of serotonin and
dopamine, brain chemicals crucial to happy mood." This means that when moving around, a
person's body would have a boost of those chemicals which would help them to be happier if they
are depressed. The article also talks about "happy chemicals" called endorphins which grow in a
person's body after they exercise. If someone with mild depression exercises, they could absolutely
be in good shape physically and mentally. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The brain's executive function as the article 6 Ways Exercise Makes Your Brain Better explains it is
"It also encompasses working memory, such as the ability to keep a phone number in your head
while you dial" This quote shows that simple everyday tasks like that would be easier for people to
do if they exercised. Everyone's brain's executive function is very important because without it, it
would be difficult to focus and plan for anything ahead in the future. Being active could also help
people from ages 55 to 80. Being active now can not only help someone in the future but also help
them to plan for their

Exercise : Exercise And Exercise Essay
We are all aware that exercise helps you physically. A big portion of us are ignorant to the fact that
exercise can help you mentally as well. I say ignorant because well all know that exercise is
physically helpful, but are unaware that it also helps us in our everyday thinking. Exercise helps us
release stress, which helps us be calm and make wiser decisions without overthinking any situation.
Many of us, or if not all of us, have experienced or are experiencing stress of some sort. Instead of
crying and staying in bed having bad thoughts, you should go for a jog or even a walk will help.
Keep in mind that exercise does not always have to be weights, gym. Neither does it have a time
limit. What I mean is that you can do exercise for as little as twenty minutes, or as much as two
hours or more. Anything that is physical is exercise. Therefore, you can use exercise as a "tool" to
writing a very good paper. Exercise can help improve your writing because it will help you be more
creative, and it will help you mentally.
Although it is kind of difficult to realize that exercise helps you mentally, exercise will help you
think outside the box. I do not mean it in the way that of you do not do exercise, you will not make
decisions as smart as people who do exercise. What I mean is while doing exercise, you forget about
the outside world, and you just focus on your workout. Also, even if you are just going for a walk
and not working out, you are listening to music while you walk or

The lost and Found martial arts Degree # 6 "Exercise of the gods"
Exercise was created by the Gods. As you may recall, from one of its earliest recorded origins 770
BC, Exercise began in Greece where the young men would train to become fit like the Gods. (From
Latin meaning exercitium=to keep busy, training or practice. And from exertus/exerere to
thrust/ex=out+serere"to attach/protect from sickness). Although, careful research shows that a
'vigorous workout' (Initiation), was performed in Africa thousands of years before, and that the
Greeks actually modeled themselves after the Nubian gods, in all manner Exercise and civilization.
The Greeks built schools and gymnasiums in the Geometric and Archaic likeness of the Egyptians,
and later in the different cultured Hellenistic styles. The Greeks place of training was called the
Palaistra, where they held Boxing and Wrestling classes, originally a place of worship to their
supreme God Zeus. Around 770 BC., they arranged to have contest in competitive sports and
exercises. This art of boxing and wrestling was called Pankration/ Pammachion, created by the
Greek mythical heroes Heracles (Heru'kalis) and Theseus (god Zeus). (The Greeks, Trojans,
Spartans and the men of Athens, were noted for their athletic strengths and ability.) Exercise is
considered a Calisthenics; and the word is derived from the mythical goddess "Kalis" known for her
beauty and strength, she also is identified with the Egyptian goddess

Exercise Independence
The Relationship Between Exercise Independence and Introjected Regulation
The reason that people exercise depends on various motives and personality traits. Specifically,
although exercise is important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, "Exercise dependence represents a
condition in which moderate to vigorous physical activity becomes a compulsive behavior"
(Edmunds et al., 2006). The term exercise dependence refers to individuals habitual and extreme

The limitations to the literature found on the topic of the KIN2276F study include the sample size.
For example, the size of the groups studied in much of the found literature was as little as18, where
as this study included 185 participants both male and female. The study conducted by the KIN2276F
class is also more reliable due to the background on the participants. The participants in this study
are university students who are all expected to be relatively active compared to the general
populations in the other studies found therefore producing a more accurate result of people who
exercise regularly and why they do so.
In conclusion, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between exercise dependence
and self–determined motivation. Through the use of questionnaires it with be determined which
correlation between the SDT and exercise dependence is the strongest. It is hypothesized the use of
exercise dependence will be positively related to introjected regulation.

Acute Exercise
The acute exercise group primarily focuses on acute physical exercise. Scholars in this section
examine the implications of intense exercise on the cognitive functions of the body. Kashihara,
Maruyama, Murota, & Nakahara believe that acute physical exercise might have a positive effect on
cognitive task but emphasize that there are mysterious mechanisms behind this relationship.
However, Zimmer, Binnebößel, Bloch, Hübner, Schenk, Predel, & Oberste express slightly
divergent views by pointing out that exhaustive exercise may be counterproductive, especially is
some cognitive activities like planning. Zimmer and his group also argue that his sentiments have
been supported by previous scholars, who maintained that acute exercise affects memory

Exercise On Depression
The one research study I wanted to focus on was the "Effects of Exercise on Depression" because I
wanted to learn more about exercise helping depression or anxiety, so I performed some extra
research. One of the research study site I visited was called, "Exercise for Stress and Anxiety" by the
Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Another research study site I visited was called,
"The Benefits of Exercise for the Clinically Depressed" by Lynette L. Craft and Frank M. Perna.
One claim made by the article "Effects of Exercise on Depression" says, "80 male and female
volunteers . . . then did aerobics for an hour. That group was most likely to benefit, reporting a
reduction in anger, fatigue, and tension ("Effects of Exercise on Depression" 1)." According to this
article, after people who suffered from depression exercised, they reported less of their symptoms ...
First, the information seems logical and when the information is cross–compared with other articles,
the articles contain similar information, all saying the same thing about the correlation between
depression and exercise. Also, the authors for both articles either have a Ph.D or come from a well–
known research branch and organization. This means both authors are experts in this field and
understand the effects of depression along with exercise. One question I would pose to researchers
interested in exercise and depression would be, "Does exercise have the same positive effects on
depression when tested with teenagers?" Another question I had in order to take the research further
was, "If exercise doesn't work to combat depression in special cases, what would be the next step to
help those who reject exercise as a solution to depression?" When researching more about this topic,
I truly learned a lot about the wonders of

Walking
Walking is one of the best physical activities to indulge in. Try walking around your yard or the
entire stretch of your house; take the stairs instead of the lift; park your car at the parking lot's far
end so that you can walk up to the spot–all these everyday walking activities can ease your pain to a
great extent.
Breathing and Movement Exercises
Exercises that are less strenuous such as tai chi, yoga, Gyrotonic, and Pilates will help increase your
core strength, flexibility, and body balance.
Strength Training
Resistance training, in which you have to use your body weight to add strength to your muscles,
may also help relieve your chronic pain.

Exercise Asthma
It's scary to think that working out could bring on an asthma attack, but you can and should exercise
with asthma. Here's what you need to know.
Asthma makes it hard to breathe, so it's not surprising that many people think it's wise to skip
physical activities that lead to being out of breath in order to avoid the constricting airflow of an
asthma attack. But that also means missing out on the major benefits of exercise, including getting
better control of asthma.
According to a study of 643 adults with asthma published in 2015 in the journal BMJ Open
Respiratory Research, people with the highest levels of physical activity were almost 2.5 times
better at controlling their asthma symptoms than were those who didn't exercise.

Instead, the key to reaping the health benefits of exercise, including better asthma control, is to take
a safe approach that won't exacerbate your symptoms. Here's what you need to know about
becoming more active with asthma.
The Link Between Exercise and Asthma
To start, it helps to understand the connection between exercise and asthma. About 70 to 90 percent
of people with asthma experience exercise–induced asthma, according to the Institute for Quality
and Efficiency in Health Care.
When this happens, you'll feel a "shortness of breath that's out of proportion for the exercise," says
David Roe, MD, a pulmonologist at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
You might be swimming or walking and suddenly feel out of breath, become dizzy, have chest pain
and tightness, start wheezing, or develop a persistent cough.
Exercise–induced asthma occurs because exercise causes you to breathe more deeply, often through
your mouth, and that causes colder, drier air to enter your lungs, according to the American
Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI). That's different from normal breathing
through your nose, where your nose acts as a filter for the air, cleaning it, warming it, and
moistening it before it gets to your lungs. When cold, dry air hits your lungs, your airways may
swell and trigger asthma
