Full textDirectly measured peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) is established as an important prognostic marker of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality, but is rarely evaluated for prevention purposes or in primary care settings due to costly and time-consuming procedures. Both VO2peak and several other health parameters can, however, be improved and maintained by regular exercise, and today`s recommendations suggest that all adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes or vigorous intensity exercise per week. Hence, the total recommended volume or energy expenditure may be reached by strictly different approaches. In the current thesis, data on directly measured VO2peak in 4631 individuals from the third wave of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT 3, 2006-08), were used to first derive a simple prediction model for VO2peak that potentially could supplement direct measurements in healthcare settings and for research purposes. Next, the clinical utility of this model was examined by its ability to predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a large sample of healthy men and women from the HUNT 1 (1984-86) cohort. Furthermore, we examined how different combinations of intensity and total time spent at habitual exercise were associated with VO2peak in apparently healthy, community dwelling individuals from HUNT 3. The findings in this thesis indicate that VO2peak can be predicted with reasonable accuracy by using easily available clinical and selfreported variables such as age, body composition, self-reported physical activity and resting heart rate, and that the model can be used to correctly classify subjects in the correct tail of the VO2peak distribution. For each metabolic equivalent (i.e. MET, ~3.5 mL∙kg-1∙min-1) higher CRF, the risk of CVD mortality was 21% lower in both men and women who were below 60 years at baseline, while the corresponding risk of all-cause mortality was 15% and 8% lower in men and women, respectively, for each MET higher CRF. Furthermore, we demonstrate that habitual exercise patterns of moderate intensity for a long total duration or vigorous intensity for a relatively short duration, adding up to the total volume as recommended by the health authorities, both were associated with a beneficial VO2peak –level. However, a higher VO2peak was observed among those reporting vigorous intensity compared to low and moderate intensity for a similar time spent, and energy expenditure used during exercise.

Full textPurpose The main purpose of this study was to research the practitioners of physical exercise (PPE) opinions about non-practitioners of physical exercise (NPPE), regarding their health, lifestyle and characteristics. Method To enable inclusion of NPPE to training facilities where PPE attend, knowledge of the PPEs’ opinions about NPPE are needed. NPPE often mention that the opinions of PPE discourage them from start to perform physical exercise at training facilities. Therefore, it was necessary to research if these opinions make an actual barrier for the start of exercise in NPPEs. To contribute this knowledge of opinions this study was a qualitative interview study with semi structured interviews. Result The respondents described health as a state of experienced balance between physical and physiological health. Unhealthiness was described by the opposite; imbalance. The consequences of this described imbalance are mentioned as fatigue, lack in concentration, overweight, high risk in diseases and decreased quality of life. What the respondents mentioned about a NPPE as an individual, were that they only did what's necessary, are unhealthy, lead an unbalanced lifestyle and suffer a higher risk of afflict the consequences mentioned above. Conclusion This study shows that the PPE do have opinions about NPPE. What is shown most clearly is that the respondents are more confident describing unhealthiness or the lifestyle choices associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, rather than describing the characteristics of unhealthy individuals. The study examines that the PPEs’ opinions about NPPE could be an actual barrier for NPPE to start performing physical exercise at training facilities where PPE perform their physical exercise. If these opinions are reflected in the environment of the training facilities, is not defined through this study and would require further research.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to examine if there were any differences between students’ dietary and exercise habits depending on sex and affiliated institution at University West. The study was based on 323 questionnaires, relevant literature and scientific works as theses, reports and articles. The results were analyzed from a sociological perspective. Dependent on sex or institution affiliation differences were found of dietary and exercise habits. Female students at University West in many respects indicate somewhat better dietary and exercise habits than male students did. In addition, small differences between the frequency of male and female students’ exercise were found. According to the Swedish guidelines for dietary and exercise students from the Department of Nursing, Health and Culture reported more healthy habits than students in average. Opposite to this finding, students from the Department of Economics & Informatics, showed the least compliance to the Swedish guidelines. Students from the Department of Engineering exercised least frequently compared to students from the other examined institutions at University West.

Full textIn the last few decades, human activity has changed environmental condition, resulting in amphibian populations decline all around the world. In this study we analyze the relationships between forest fragmentation and the ability of some frog species to move between forest fragments or between fragments and breeding sites. Our study focus relies on anuran locomotor performance and supporting physiology, and the relationship between these traits and resistance to forest fragmentation. We compare morphological, physiological and behavioral traits between populations of anurans species living in different landscapes (continuous or fragmented) of two sites in the Atlantic Forest. According to our data, differences in environmental conditions of landscape are related to morpho-physiological traits. This relationship, however, depends on the site of the Atlantic Forest and also varies between species.

To evaluate whether the habitual regular exercise can improve the physical fitness and academic performance in junior high school students, an extra introduction of exercise program lasting two years in a randomized selection class, termed as exercise program class (EPC) were observed to compare with the other control class (CC). There were no differences between two groups in BMI (Body Mass Index). However, significantly greater degree of improvement of EPC made more progress than CC in 1600 meter run for male or 800 meter run for female and sit-ups test. Male of EPC exhibited greater improvement in academic performance. While analyze the group of top 30 percentage and the group of the last one in academic performance, the greater degree of improvement of sit-ups test were observed in group of top 30 percentage. We concluded that there are close relationship between the physical fitness and academic performance in junior high school students, especially in sit-ups test.

Background:Whether elderly with habitual cycling exercise (HCE), at lower intensity in the morning, have higher immunity against hepatitis B virus than sedentary controls (SC) was a health care issue for elderly.Methods:The conditioned media were prepared by stimulating the isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) for assessment of the inhibitory effects on hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) expression in human hepatoma Hep3B cells. Results:By the detected % VO2peak at about 43.54 % and % HRmax at about 60.12% during cycling exercise program in present study, we can considered HCE as an aerobic and low to moderate exercise for elderly. The concentrations of secreted cytokines such as IFN-γ, TNF-α and IFN-α were greater in the MNC-CM from the HCE group than those from the SC group. The inhibitory rates of HCE group’MNC-CM against the HBsAg expression were greater than that of SC group. In the same stimulating concentration of PHA (at 10 μg/ml), the relative HBsAg expression in HCE group’ MNC-CM was 64.7 % versus 81.5 % of SC group. The decline of inhibitory rates in cytokine neutralization experiments suggest that the crucial roles played by these cytokines for inhibitory effect of HCE-MNC-CM against HbsAg expression. Conclusion:The results reveal that the immune response of MNC, which are stimulated with PHA to suppress HBsAg expression in elderly with habitual cycling exercise at lower speed, is greater than that in sedentary controls.

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of different habitual exercise on muscle stiffness through ultrasound strain elastography and shear wave elastography (SWE). It further-examined the correlation between two different measuring methods and the correlation between aerobic performance and muscle stiffness. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 54 healthy adult males (aged 20-40 years) with different exercise habits, including participants who practice regular resistance training (RRT, N = 18), regular aerobic training (RAT, N = 18), and the non-exercisers (NE, N = 18). The muscle stiffness data of biceps brachii muscle and rectus femoris muscle were collected by an ultrasound system, and the aerobic performance was tested on the Wattbike. Result: RRT group had a significantly higher muscle stiffness than the other groups (p ≤ 0.001). There was a moderate correlation between two stiffness measuring methods of the biceps brachii muscle. Peak power (PP) and relative mean power (RMP) are indicators of aerobic performance. PP showed a moderate correlation with strain rate (r = 0.303), and RMP showed a moderate negative correlation with strain rate (r = −0.331). Conclusion: Habitual participation in RRT exercise was associated with higher muscle stiffness. Strain elastography might be an alternative stiffness measuring method when shear wave elastography is not available.
