Think for a minute about the last time you traveled as an airline passenger. Did you stand in long lines waiting to board your aircraft? Did you spend a lot of time seated during the flight? Did you arrive at your destination tired and hypohydrated? If you answered ‘‘yes’’ to any of these questions, you may be wondering if modern air travel can be healthy. The purpose of this article is to address the issue of healthy air travel in two parts. The first part will educate you on some of the common health-related problems associated with flying. The second part shares information about U.S. airports and the services they offer to keep you physically active and healthy when you fly. This information was gathered by the ACSM Task Force on Healthy Air Travel (TFHAT). Contact information for this working group can be found in the Recommended Readings section at the end of this article.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN Leg warmers in assorted colors. Boom box charged and ready to go. Cassette tape with Neil Diamond’s latest and greatest songs available. All the items needed for a fitness instructor to head out the door and teach an aerobic dance class in the 1970s V the rest is history. Group fitness can be traced back to 1968 when Kenneth H. Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., introduced the concept of aerobic exercise. Cooper, widely known as the Father of the Modern Fitness Movement, encouraged people to exercise, with an emphasis on disease prevention rather than disease treatment (1). The next year, in 1969, Judi Sheppard Missett founded the dance-based fitness program Jazzercise consisting of 1-hour group fitness classes composed of cardio, strength, and stretch moves with elements of hip-hop, jazz dance, kickboxing, and resistance training for a total-body workout. Both milestones led to Jackie Sorensen taking the world by storm in the early 1970s. Sorensen took Cooper’s aerobics program, added music, and created one of the most influential fitness movements in modern history V aerobic dance V leading the way for today’s group fitness programs. More than 40 years later, Jazzercise is still here and Sorensen continues to produce new programs, remaining a fixture in the health and fitness industry.
一切是怎么开始的?各式各样的护腿。音响充好电,准备出发。卡带与尼尔·戴蒙德的最新和最好的歌曲可用。在20世纪70年代,健身教练出门教有氧舞蹈课所需要的所有东西,剩下的都是历史了。团体健身可以追溯到1968年,当时医学博士肯尼斯·h·库珀(Kenneth H. Cooper)提出了有氧运动的概念。库珀被广泛称为现代健身运动之父,他鼓励人们锻炼,强调疾病的预防而不是疾病的治疗(1)。次年,即1969年,朱迪·谢泼德·米塞特创立了以舞蹈为基础的健身项目爵士健身,包括1小时的团体健身课程,包括有氧运动、力量运动和伸展运动,以及嘻哈、爵士舞、自由搏击和阻力训练等元素,以实现全身锻炼。这两个里程碑都让杰基·索伦森在20世纪70年代初风靡全球。索伦森采用库珀的有氧运动项目,加上音乐,创造了现代历史上最具影响力的健身运动之一——有氧舞蹈——引领了今天的团体健身项目。40多年后,爵士健身操仍然在这里,索伦森继续制作新的节目,仍然是健康和健身行业的固定设备。

NOT SO SWEET. Diabetes is a chronic longterm metabolic condition that is characterized by abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. To use glucose, the body requires insulin, which is a hormone made in the pancreas. Insulin is important because it has an essential role in regulating blood glucose levels. Accordingly, diabetes results when either an individual’s body does not make enough insulin or the insulin in a person’s body does not work the way it should. 1.

To become aware of the most practical measures of hydration status.To describe sources of water input and output and the basics of water balance.To understand how hydration status may impact daily cognitive performance.
Condensed version and bottom line: Water is a crucial nutrient and euhydration is necessary for optimal daily functioning. Water balance is precisely regulated within the body and many methods exist for assessing hydration status. Cognitive performance measures an individual's attentiveness, critical thinking skills, and memory. Traditionally a 2% or more body water deficit was thought to produce cognitive performance decrements; however, recent literature suggests that even mild dehydration - a body water loss of 1-2% - can impair cognitive performance. Counseling clients about their health and wellbeing should include conveying the importance of water for normal body functioning, as well as its effects on physical and cognitive performance.
