Relations of Meeting National Public Health Recommendations for Muscular Strengthening Activities With Strength, Body Composition, and Obesity: The Women's Injury Study
Objectives. We examined the relations of meeting or not meeting the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommendations for muscular strengthening activities with percentage of body fat, body mass index (BMI; defined as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters, squared), muscular strength, and obesity classification in women. Methods. We analyzed data on 918 women aged 20 to 83 years in the Women's Injury Study from 2007 to 200…
The Relationship of Body Mass Index, Medical Costs, and Job Absenteeism
The NHLBI guidelines for overweight and obesity effectively predicted absences and health care costs
How HIV+ Persons Manage Everyday Life in the Hospital and at Home
This article presents findings from an interview-based study of the ways persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) manage their illness in the hospital and at home. The present investigation supports an earlier study that isolated six management styles used in the hospital; summarized in terms of general patient identities, they are the loner, the medic, the time keeper, the activist, the mystic, and the victim. This study discovered another strategy,…
Health Information Sources and Preferences as Perceived by Adolescents, Pediatricians, Teachers and School Nurses
To facilitate establishment of comprehensive health education systems for students, the responses of 600 adolescents, 99 pediatricans, 71 teachers, and 70 school nurses were compared. Major findings are that professionals, across groups, were concordant in their perceptions of all items except one pertaining to preferred and actual sources of health information for students. Adults, however, differed from adolescents (p < .001) in their perceptio…
The Prediction of Performance of Olympic Athletes in Discus, Hammer, Javelin, and Shotput From Measures of Personality Characteristics
For each of four subsamples of Olympic-quality athletes—14 Discus, 8 Hammer, 11 Javelin, and 12 Shotput specialists—measures of 19 personality constructs yielded only two statistically significant validity coefficients (out of 76 possible significant indices) in the prediction of average length of throw. The conclusion was reached that the self-report personality measures employed afford little promise as predictors of success in the four Olympic…
The Validity of a Composite of Nineteen Personality Variables in Differentiating Between American World Class Olympic Contenders and Undergraduate Education Majors
The differential validity of 19 personality variables was examined in a comparison of the affective characteristics of a sample of American World Class Olympic contenders (N = 48) with those of a group of undergraduate education majors (N = 63). A two-group discriminant analysis yielded a canonical correlation of .58 (p
