The Demographic Specific Abdominal Fat Composition and Distribution Trends in US Adults from 2011 to 2018
Despite the rising awareness of abdominal adiposity associated health problems and demographic health disparities, research is lacking about abdominal fat trends using a national representative sample of US adults. Our purpose was to examine national demographic specific abdominal fat composition and distribution trends from 2011 to 2018. This trend analysis was using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data ( n = 13,163). Visceral a…
Age-specific trends in health-related quality of life among US adults
Trajectories of Maintenance and Resilience in Healthful Eating and Exercise Behaviors in Older Adults
Findings suggest that both physical health and psychological capital provide important resources upon which to draw as older adults grow even older. The trajectory model can provide useful information for developing resilience interventions for older adults
Quantity and Quality of Exercise for Developing and Maintaining Cardiorespiratory, Musculoskeletal, and Neuromotor Fitness in Apparently Healthy Adults
The purpose of this Position Stand is to provide guidance to professionals who counsel and prescribe individualized exercise to apparently healthy adults of all ages. These recommendations also may apply to adults with certain chronic diseases or disabilities, when appropriately evaluated and advised by a health professional. This document supersedes the 1998 American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Position Stand, "The Recommended Quantity and…
Common Factors Predicting Long-term Changes in Multiple Health Behaviors
This study was designed to assess if there are consistent treatment, stage, severity, effort and demographic effects which predict long-term changes across the multiple behaviors of smoking, diet and sun exposure. A secondary data analysis integrated data from four studies on smoking cessation ( N = 3927), three studies on diet ( N = 4824) and four studies on sun exposure ( N = 6465). Across all three behaviors, behavior change at 24 months was r…
The Relationship Between Obesity, Physical Activity, and Physical Function in Older Adults
The study illustrates the importance of avoiding obesity and participating in regular physical activity to prevent or slow down the loss of functioning in older age
Mode of Physical Activity and Self-Efficacy in Older Adults
A randomized controlled trial examined the effect of two physical activity modes on changes in self-efficacy over the course of a 12-month period in older, formerly sedentary adults (N = 174, M age = 65.5 years). Participants were randomized into either an aerobic activity group or a stretching and toning group. Structural equation modeling was employed to conduct multiple sample latent growth curve analyses of individual growth in exercise and p…
The Expendable Prolympic Self
This article offers a proposal for combining the sport sociological and sport psychological imaginations. In order to effect this rapprochement , some serious adjustments to the ways in which many applied sport psychologists and sport sociologists think about and conduct research are required. Thus, the initial part of this article expresses some critiques, albeit brief, of current tendencies within both sport sociology and sport psychology. We d…
