The Training Interventions And Genetics Of Exercise Response Study

1547 Words7 Pages

Purpose & Methods The purpose of this literature review was mainly to find a program very similar to my group project which the behavior change that we are targeting is physical activity in college students. In this review of the program it neither has to work or not work, but just has to be evaluated. Overall, it will help me move forward with my project on seeing what could actually work and what can’t work. Learning from the success or failures of other programs is the best way to increase the success of your own programs/projects. The goal is to build off of others and make it 100% more effective. The way I went about choosing an article appropriate for this literature review was going online to the “http://library.wcsu.edu/” website …show more content…

There were a total of number of 1,567 participants, (39% male / 61% female) (Sailors et al, 2010). TIGER’s focus was to have these participants exercise regularly 3-day/week and those who stood with the plan were given college credits as a replacement of a class as compensation for being a part of the study. The design of TIGER was to study genes related to adiposity and metabolism, but what I am focusing on this in this study is their ability to get students to work and have high retention rates. There are five different cohort years used in this intervention that all completed a 30 week exercise program plan in a diverse college-age individual’s population. The setting of the intervention took place on campus at the University of Houston’s exercise training …show more content…

The exercise lessons usually last a minimum of 40 minutes, it would include a 5-minute warm-up, 30-minute workout, and 5-minute cool down. This is only the minimum the participants have to do, so better overall results can be shown if the participants do more than the bare-minimum. The subjects had their own choices to perform aerobic exercise: stationary cycling, elliptical stepping, treadmill or track running/walking, stair stepping, rowing, or arm ergometry (Sailors et al, 2010). The staff members of this study recorded exercise mode for every session by observing and documenting the data using a handheld computer. TIGER even decided to partner up with CSI Software to make it possible to provide an online activity-logging program where the subjects were able to record exercise preformation outside of the original class time. The CSI program even included an area in the program were staff members were allowed to follow the patterns of the subjects exercise patterns inside and outside the study class times for every single subject. Since this study is a replacement for another college course and credit is being given to all participants who complete the course the only main policy given is, to make sure to come to the lessons so data can be

    According to SCT, people are more likely to exercise if they have strong levels of self-efficacy, feel that others support them in doing so, and have access to resources like facilities and equipment (Nkwoji, 2018). By targeting these factors, interventions based on SCT can promote behavior change and improve physical activity levels. SCT provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and predicting behavior change, including in the context of physical activity. SCT interventions may encourage long-lasting behavior change by highlighting the significance of individual and contextual elements as well as observational learning and

  • Obesity In America Essay

    Almost all states in the U.S are required to have physical education at least for 30 minutes a day. However, forty percent of schools only require P.E to be 2 to 3 days a week, even if that (“Many Schools Skipping Some PE Classes, despite the Law”). If it was required to have physical education five days a week for thirty minutes, then this would mean students would be able to get their exercise in for the week without cutting into classroom time. One study was experimented on fifth grades. The fifth graders P.E time was increased to five days a week, then their BMI was compared to earlier data, indicating that if P.E time was increased, the students were less likely to obesity (“The Impact of Physical Education on Obesity among Elementary School Children”).

    After education systems instill fitness prone mentalities into children, the next step in producing a healthier America relies in the fitness companies. Government needs to regulate this industry and subsidize businesses in order to lower prices and allow for more individuals of all income levels to engage in a vigorous lifestyle. As for another approach to get America more vitalized, government can pass legislation similar to ones requiring jury duty, imposing a schedule of some sorts obliging citizens to exercise. However, this proposal has the likelihood to manifest much discontent from individuals regarding constitutionality and freedoms and so forth.

    Many times researchers doing reviews end up with a chronological catalog of all of the relevant sources reviewed instead of an evaluation that integrates previous research together explaining how it integrates into the proposed research program (Wang et al., 2015). Poor literature review fails to capture all sides of an argument and tends to be bias, avoiding to critically mention areas of agreement and disagreement (Shipman, 2014). Such a review is merely a collection of quotes and paraphrasing from other sources (Willig, 2013). Sadly enough most researchers undertaking psychological research are not skilled in doing a quality

It was reported though that participants in the exercise group found the games stimulating and easy, making them want to exercise. Also, Nilsagård and her associates noted that the participants in the non-exercise group were more physically active than the exercise group, therefore the reason for the insignificant findings may be related to
