A comparison of body composition, body cathexis, and attitude toward obesity in women with different levels of physical activity

Creator:: Lai, Shu-mei
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to identify significant differences in body composition, body cathexis, and attitudes toward obesity of women in various age groups involved in different levels of physical exercise. A total of 216 women, ranging in age from 17 to 64, took part in this study. They...

The effects of high-impact exercise on bone mass in adolescent girls

Creator:: Witzke, Kara A.
Abstract:: We evaluated anthropometric and performance measures which best predict bone mineral density (BMD) in 54 adolescent girls (14.6±0.5y; 22.7±14.0 months past menarche). BMD for the whole body, femoral neck, greater trochanter, lumbar spine (L2-L4), and mid-femoral shaft was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Hologic QDR 1000/W). Whole body lean...

Physical activity, hormone replacement therapy, and insulin resistant coronary artery disease risk factors in postmenopausal women

Creator:: Manns, Patricia J.
Abstract:: Low physical activity levels and high serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in both men and women. However, postmenopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may have increased risk of CAD because of HRT-related increases in serum CRP. There are two manuscripts...

Translating the Better Bones and Balance Intervention Program into the community setting: effects of participation on skeletal health, fall risk indicators, and physical activity among older women

Creator:: McNamara, Adrienne J.
Abstract:: Better Bones and Balance (BBB) is a community-based exercise program to improve bone health and reduce fall risk among older adults. Prior research has shown that when the program is delivered by researchers under controlled conditions, participants improved strength and balance, and maintained bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip....

Dietary behavior and body composition parameters among self-reported exercising and non-exercising elderly women

Creator:: Bell, Kathleen A.
Abstract:: The percentage of the American population who are 65 years old or older is rapidly increasing, especially the proportion of women. It is becoming crucial to encourage lifestyle behaviors that will enable senior women to remain in optimal health. Following the 1990 Dietary Guidelines' recommendations to limit fat intake and...

Energy and nutrient intake, and body composition of elderly women with different ages and levels of physical activity

Creator:: Bell, Elizabeth J.
Abstract:: The US population over the age of 65 years is growing rapidly, with elderly women outnumbering men by 50 percent. Studies show that aging is often accompanied by reduced energy intake, inadequate nutrition, and the loss of lean body mass with a subsequent increase in body fat, as well as...

The effects of impact plus resistance training on the musculoskeletal system in premenopausal women

Creator:: Winters, Kerri M.
Abstract:: Low bone mineral density (BMD) and poor stability both contribute to increased risk of fractures associated with a fall. The aim of this dissertation was two-fold. The first study, a cross-sectional analysis, sought to determine the anthropometric and/or performance variables that best predicted BMD and postural stability in mature, premenopausal...

The growing skeleton : influence of lifestlye and the development of normative data using DXA

Creator:: Fuchs, Robyn K.
Abstract:: To examine the potential for exercise to build bone mass during growth, objectives of this dissertation included: 1) determine the effects of 7 months of jumping followed by 7 months of detraining on hip and spine bone mass in the prepubertal children; 2) determine variables that best predict bone mineral...

The effects of a 7-month high impact jumping intervention on bone mass in pre-pubescent boys and girls

Creator:: Fuchs, Robyn K.
Abstract:: High impact loading activities such as jumping, performed during childhood is advocated as one preventive method for increasing peak bone mass. Thus, we conducted a randomized intervention to examine the effect of high impact loading on bone mass in 34 pre-pubescent boys and girl over a seven month period. Participants...
