    24 January 2017 Media Release – Exercise Effectively and Avoid the Fads. The Top Global Exercise Trends of 2017 From: NZ Register of Exercise Professionals Exercise Effectively and Avoid the Fads The Top Global Exercise Trends in 2017 Welcome to 2017. Every year the American College of Sports Medicine run a worldwide survey designed to confirm or to introduce new trends (not fads) that have a perceived impact on the industry. The key difference between a trend and a fad is that a trend indicates a change that will have an ongoing impact, whereas a fad is something new that is embraced briefly then discarded. We all know that exercise and being active is an important part of the wellness journey. We also know that one of the best ways to stay motivated is to keep your exercise varied to avoid boredom, and that’s why keeping up to date with science and innovation is important. The exercise industry isn’t just about personal trainers and gyms, so the survey looked at four areas of health and fitness; corporate, clinical, community and commercial as these areas have impact on health and are sources of exercise information. With over 1000 survey respondents globally, the results provide a good level of robustness. The top 5 trends for 2017 are: 1. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY We love gadgets and the first-place ranking shows that also applies to fitness/exercise gadgets too such as activity trackers, watches and GPS devices.

    EXERCISE PREFERENCES AND EXPECTATIONS OF YOUNG FEMALE STUDENTS IN A UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT Estelle van Niekerk Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Sport Science at Stellenbosch University Department of Sport Science Faculty of Education Supervisor: Prof J.G.

Copyright © 2009 – Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ABSTRACT The study investigated the exercise preferences of female university students participating in exercise modes presented at the local gymnasium and their expectations of the outcomes of such participation. Secondly, the study aimed to determine the most important reason for their participation and whether this was satisfied by their choice of exercise mode. A third aim was to determine other reasons that contributed to the selection of exercise environment and mode. The size of the research group of the pilot study was 210 (n=210). For the final longitudinal study, over a period of three years, it was 985 (N=985). The study population was selected on a basis of convenient sampling, availability and interest among young female gymnasium members, (aged 18 to 27 years). Their participation was voluntary. Original questionnaires were constructed for the purpose of the study to provide general demographic and physical characteristic information of the participants, their exercise preference and choice of exercise mode, reasons for participation in particular exercise modes, time spent on physical activity, frequency of attendance of exercise sessions, exercise motivators, barriers to exercise, medication and supplementation prevalence, health problems and smoking.

  • Health and Fitness Benefits Using a Heart Rate Intensity-Based Group Fitness Exercise Regimen
    Original Article Health and fitness benefits using a heart rate intensity-based group fitness exercise regimen JOHN QUINDRY1 , CASSIE WILLIAMSON-REISDORPH1, JOEL FRENCH2 1University of Montana, United States of America 2Orange Theory Fitness, United States of America ABSTRACT Inactivity leads to morbidity and mortality, while novel and engaging approaches to fitness improve health outcomes. The current study examined an 8-week commercial group exercise regimen for high intensity interval training (HIIT) in order to examine comprehensive metrics of health and fitness. Aerobic fitness, body composition, resting metabolic rate, blood cholesterol and glucose, in addition to resting blood pressure were quantified in a laboratory setting independent of the training facilities. Exercise training utilized multimodal HIIT-based exercises and work intensity was gauged by real-time heart rate feedback. All participants completed the required two sessions per week. Pre-Post analyses indicate aerobic fitness (Pre 푉̇ O2max = 36.8 ml•kg-1•min-1; Post 푉̇ O2max = 40.8 ml•kg-1•min-1), % fat (Pre = 28.1%; Post = 27.0%), resting metabolic rate (Pre = 1557 kcals; Post = 1664 kcals), resting blood pressure (Pre = 128.8/78.1 mmHg; Post = 116.7/75.4 mmHg), and circulating triacylglycerol (Pre = 100.0 mg/dl; Post = 78.7 mg/dl) were significantly altered. This study quantified improvements in aerobic fitness, body composition, resting metabolic rate, resting blood pressure, and triacylglycerol after an 8-week HIIT regimen. The implications of heart rate (HR) monitoring within franchised group exercise with wearable technology serves as an unexplored scientific approach to understand novel exercise prescriptions on health-fitness outcomes.

It’s no wonder getting into exercise and sticking with it is so difficult. Being a part of functional society almost demands that we become sedentary. We go to work earlier and stay later. We have a vast array of other family and social commitments and responsibilities that require our time and energy. We sit at a desk or stand at a cash register or in some other fairly immobile state most of the work day. The person who leaves his desk to go to another’s office, rather than using email, is considered inefficient. We drive/ride in a car, bus, or train to get to work or anywhere else we need to go. At the end of the day, we’re tired. We’ve basically “engineered” exercise out of our lives.
