Fat Consequences In Children
As the world battles with an epidemic that is proving difficult to manage and showing signs of becoming a costly affair, our children are getting caught in the cross fire. Adult onset diabetes, weight loss surgery and weight loss medication for children is not exactly what parent had in mind when planning for their posterity.
An article by Kids Health highlights some report that shows that as many as 45% of U.S children newly diagnosed with diabetes have Type 2. One of the main causes is pointing towards obesity in children and teens.
Type 2 diabetes was formally considered to occur exclusively in adults hence its previous long time name Adult Onset Diabetes, as opposed to Type 1 diabetes which was referred to as Juvenile Diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease whereby your body is unable to control glucose accordingly. This results to abnormal levels of blood sugar. In Type 2, the body is unable to respond to insulin, a hormone that regulates the amount of glucose in the blood stream. The condition is also known as insulin resistance.
Among adults it is an accompanying disease of obesity. 80% of obese individuals suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Similar trends seem to be creeping into children and teens. And why not, children are living a similar lifestyle as their parents. Infact obese and overweight children often are found in families were at least one parent is overweight or obese; yet another strong indicator that obesty is a lifestyle issue.
Andrew L. Young, Director of the Future of Children and other Economic studies programs projects of Brookings Institutions, laments of "screen-addicted recess-and-P.E deprived, parent-chauffeured children" who are living a lifestyle that is "dangerous to their health" in an article titled Let's get children moving toward a healthier future.
Statistics are not only grim in the U.S. In Canada child obesity cases are also on the increase. In 1978/79 only 3% of children 2-17 years were obese according to Canada Community Healthy Survey (CCHS). By 2004, the numbers had nearly tripled to 8%. The overweight had doubled from 14% to 29% as reported in The Daily. All this is attributed to lifestyles primarily diet and exercises
In U.K were the epidemic is raising, weight loss pills and weight loss surgery are being suggested for obese children! The National Institute for Health and Clinical Studies (NICE) is reported in the BBC News as proposing surgeries for physiologically mature kids and pills for the younger ones.
NICE is an independent organization in London that provides national guidance on the promotion of good health and prevention and treatment of ill health. It's a membership includes National Institute of Health (NIH U.K), healthcare professional and academicians.
Obesity is a multi-factorial condition that requires a holistic and long-term approach. It is this view organization like NICE and others of similar wide influence should really concentrate on for weight loss management. Though in the short term matters are really pressing, they should not lose sight of the long-haul. The permanent weight loss solution lays in the latter rather than the former.

Equine Exercise Physiology (Paperback) $160.72 Equine exercise physiology is an area that has been subject to major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using little more than experience and intuition to train their horses.The aim of this book is to sort the fact from the fiction for the benefit of those involved in training, managing or working with horses, and to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of play in equine exercise physiology. Scientific theories are explained from first principles, with the assumption that the reader has no previous scientific background. The book is designed to save competitors and trainers a lot of time and effort trying to extract information in piecemeal fashion from a host of reference sources. For the first time, everything you need to know about exercising and training horses is here in one text. |

The Business of Exercise Physiology $159.95 This book contains the information that Board Certified Exercise Physiologists need to start and manage a profitable healthcare business. In addition to helping physiologists understand what it takes to start a business, the book also addresses the importance of a business plan. The more information that exercise physiologists have at the beginning, the more likely they are going to be successful. The idea is to identify what is needed as an entrepreneur to get started and how to be successful at growing your own business. This book is a declaration of intent and permission to “just do it.” |

Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition $25.76 The leading textbook for undergraduate exercise physiology courses, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, is back in an updated fourth edition that is better than ever after extensive external reviews of the previous edition by nine content experts. Renowned authors Jack Wilmore and David Costill add the expertise of W. Larry Kenney to bring a fresh perspective to the organization and content of the fourth edition.Building on the positive feedback of previous editions, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition, presents the complex relationship between human physiology and exercise in a format that is more comprehensive for students than other comparable texts. Ease of reading and understanding is the cornerstone for this popular text, and students will experience a depth and breadth of content balanced with unique and effective learning features: -Online learning. The text is automatically packaged with an access code for the online student guide. With the inclusion of the access code in the text, students will be reminded to access the Web site more readily. The convenient Web site format of the student guide allows students to practice, review, and develop knowledge and skills about the physiology of sport and exercise.-Accessible layout. The book is divided into seven parts, each with opening text that briefly describes the contents of the chapters in that part. Chapter outlines with page numbers help students locate material, including the related online study guide activities. -Keys to comprehension. In each chapter, key points and key terms are highlighted. The key terms are listed at the end of the chapter and defined in the glossary, thus increasing students' opportunities for recall, transfer of information, and self-testing.-Review and reflection. Review boxesscattered throughout each chapter remind students of the major points presented. Study questions allow students to test their knowledge of the chapter's contents. Reminders of available study guide activities encourage students to explore additional learning opportunities.-Reference and extended study. A comprehensive glossary and a thorough index help students navigate both the text and subject matter. Plus, a listing of references and selected readings provide additional information about topics of special interest. -Abbreviations and conversions. A list of common abbreviations on the inside front cover and a list of conversions on the inside back cover of the text provide a quick and easy reference for students while they complete labs and assignments.In an effort to reduce “backpack bulge,” the fourth edition has been carefully streamlined to offset the addition of new chapters or pages. Updated research, modernized artwork, and a reorganization of material provide a focused and effective presentation of concepts within a slightly smaller—and lighter—textbook. Chapters regarding nutrition and body composition are now combined to reduce information overlap, and re... |
