Personal Training
The
scope of practice for a personal trainer is to
enhance the components of fitness for the general, healthy population.
Proper exercise prescription may result in
improved body composition, physical performance,
and health outcomes.[3]
The decision to hire a personal trainer may be related to a perceived
ability to facilitate these factors through proper prescription and
instruction or factors related to motivation
and adherence. A personal trainer will pay close attention to your
exercise form, workout routine, and nutrition plan.
Few studies have investigated personal training for men.
Personal training in women has been shown to exercise behavior
patterns, improve perceptual benefit-to-concern ratio for exercise
(decisional balance), and increase confidence to choose exercise in the
face of other time demands (scheduling self-efficacy).
Personal training results in higher
strength, higher workout intensities, and higher perceived exertion
during exercise in women. Although women working with personal trainers
do self-select heavier loads than women who did not, the loads used are
still below recommended training load percentages.
Is
'Healthy' Fast Food for
Real?
By Meredith Melnick
New York Times food columnist Mark
Bittman
recently
examined the nutritional merits of McDonald's
Fruit & Maple Oatmeal, an apparently "healthy" breakfast item that
actually contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only
10 fewer calories than an Egg McMuffin. Yikes. But while it's easy to
supersize our scorn for McDonald's, it's worth noting that Mickey D's
isn't playing the only shell game in town.
Many other fast-food joints offer
healthy-sounding options that aren't exactly health food. What follows
are a few examples of health-washing: items that appear wholesome but
don't quite deliver on the nutrition front. The problems with the meals
may vary, but the takeaway is the same: always scope out the nutrition
information on a fast-food restaurant's website before you show up and
order. You may be surprised by what you learn.
