| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Limits of Human Performance | World Record= 156 feet (1912) 100m dasg world record - 10.06s (1964) Woman's shot put record - 33.3 feet (1924) |
| Physiology | The study of the function of tissues, organs, and systems |
| Exercise Physiology | The study of exercise on the function of these tissues, organs & systems - responses to environmental factors - effectss in specific populations |
| Nobel Prize Winners | Archibald V. Hill, August Krogh, & Otto Meyerhof |
| Harvard Fatigue Laboratory | D.B. Dill - directed the lab from 1927-1947 Conducted research in numerous areas and made careful precise measurements/new techniques |
| Harvard Fatigue Laboratory | Erling Asmussen, Eik Hohwu-Christiansen & Marius Nielson/ with David Bruce (DB) Hill as director |
| Harvard Fatigue Laboratory | (more men involved) Steven Horvath and Sid Robinson, and A.C. Burton |
| Active Research Areas in the Harvard Fatique Laboratory | Metabolism, Aging, Environmental Physiology, Clinical Physiology, Blood, & Physical Fitness |
| The Study of Physical Fitness | A popular Topic today, Public Health Service (1980) listed "physical fitness & exercise" as one of the 15 areas of concern related to the country's overall health |
| Civil War Until the First World War | Physical education primarily concerned with Fitness, many physical education leaders were trained in medicine |
| Efforts of US Presidents | Eisenhower: Established "President's Council on Youth Fitness |
| Efforts of US Presidents (con't) | Kennedy: changed Eisenhower's council name to "President's Council on Physical Fitness" & he wrote "The Soft American" in Sports Illustrated. |
| Efforts of US Presidents (con't) | Nixon: changed Kennedy's name to "President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports |
| Efforts of US Presidents (con't) | Obama: Changed it to the current name: "President's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports & Nutrition |
| Additional Events | Epidemiological Studies, large corporations developed "executive" fitness programs which evolved into today's Corporate Fitness programs |
| Physical Activity Recommendations | American Heart Association ('92), made physcial inactivity a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases |
| Physical Activity Recommendations (con't) | CDC-ACDM ('95) "Every U.S. adult should accumulate 30 min of moderate intensity physical activity on most, preferrably all, days of the week" |
| Physical Activity Recommendations (con't) | Surgeon General Report ('96) - 60% adults do not meet recommendations, 25% not active at all |
| Physical Activity & Health | Lowers risk of dying prematurely & heart disease, reduces risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, helps maintain bones, joints, & muscles, promotes well-being, maintains healthy weight |
| A Change in Focus from Physical Education to Exercise Science | Reduced need for school-based P.E. teachers, increased need for Professionals in prevention and clincial settings, while the programs include courses in: biomechanics, exercise, fitness assessment, exercise prescription and leadership |
| Undergrad and Grad Study | Growth in number of exercise physiology labs, grads from these labs contribute to the field, and integrated approach to study |
| Professional Societies | American Physiolocial Society (APS), American Assoc of Health, Physical Ed and Recreation (AAHPER) & American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) |
| Research Journals | Growth in research has led to increase in number of journals, & allows scientists to commmunicate research findings |
| Training in Research | Increased specialization in research, necessary to compete for grants, and students must specialize earlier in their careers |
| Careers for Exercise Science & KINES majors | Pers fitness training, strength/conditioning, cardiac rehab, athletic training, massage therapy, allied health professions(phys and occupational) Medicine (physician or physician assistant) |
| Requirements for Careers for Exercise Science and Kinesiology | Coursework, Practicum of internship, Grad study for some careers, Certification Exam |
| Basic Vs. Applied Research | Basic: purely for sake of new knowledge Applied: solve specific problems, applying directly to meds, business, military, sports and society well-being |
