Due to the strong and growing evidence in scientific literature on the beneficial effects of physical activity on health and well-being, the importance of Clinical Exercise Science has increased. Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Exercise, is a subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful in the sense that the improvement or maintenance of one or more components of physical fitness is the objective (http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/pa/en/; last accessed on 30 April 2016). Generally speaking, Clinical Exercise Science is an applied clinical branch which deals with the application of various exercise modalities for …show more content…
Notably, physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, resulting in 6% of deaths globally (http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/pa/en/: last accessed on 30 April 2016). Characteristically, public health practice addresses the physical activity and exercise in a broader sense, focusing on the communities, populations and settings. On the other hand, due to the advancement in healthcare technologies, Clinical Exercise Science has made it possible to incorporate physical activity and various exercise modalities into healthcare practice in a way that a response at organism (e.g., humans, animals), organ system (e.g., musculoskeletal system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system), organ (e.g., heart, skeletal muscles, bones), and cellular (e.g., immune system cells, red blood cells) level can be examined, both in healthy people and patients with acute or chronic clinical conditions and disabilities. However, body of scientific evidence generated through the research in Clinical Exercise Science has its implications not only in clinical practice, but also in public health practice. This is one of the main reasons why I would like to join the Clinical Research Science Ph.D. program at the Potsdam …show more content…
This was followed by one year practical clinical training leading to a registered medical practitioner license in Pakistan. After acquiring my Master of Public Health (MPH) degree at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany I started my professional career in Germany. I have worked for more than 6 years in the field of primary research (clinical research) and secondary research (systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials) in Germany. Furthermore, I was able to acquire public health research knowledge through MPH study and master’s thesis research. I was one of the best students during the MPH study at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences,
Athletic Trainers play a crucial part in today’s professional sports. They also help on lower levels of sports in high school, and college level teams. The job of an athletic trainer is simple yet very important, they are charged with treating, and preventing injuries. A trainer does this by developing therapies to reduce pain, and improve mobility (“Athletic Trainer Salaries”). They have to stand for long periods of time, work well with athletes of different sizes, move or carry equipment around, good mobility and communication skills to give instructions (“Athletic Trainer, Healthcare Program”). These trainers serve as a crucial part of an athlete getting back into their sport. Athletic trainers usually work under the direction of a physician, so they are like the Doctor’s healing hands in action.
“Accept the challenge so that you can feel exhilaration of victory”. This quote was said by George S. Patton is discussion the important role that Athletic trainer should work and work until they win. Who are we are highly qualified multi skilled health care professionals. Also Athletic trainer prevent diagnosis treatment and rehabilitation of emergent acute or chronic injuries. Were also known for being high qualified multi skilled health care professional. Being and athletic trainer is a great and hardworking career. That involves meeting new people, dealing with different challenge each day, Also it has moderate schooling.

In the year 1996, through a report by the Surgeon General, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) created a report called At-A-Glance, that contains information regarding the benefits that physical activity has when regarding health issues that face people as well as how said physical activity impacts their life in a positive way. The report combines different information gathered over the years that includes information regarding demographics as well as information regarding how frequency and intensity affect the impact that physical activity has. The Center or Disease Control states that “This report brings together, for the first time, what has been learned about physical activity and health from decades of research.”
I was not expecting to do this exercise during this seminar. However, I really enjoyed it because of how therapeutic it was. Drawing these three different symbols/shapes in order to create an image helped me to reflect back onto my life. It was such a simple task, but it definitely made me consider my relationships with family members, friends, and with myself. I cannot imagine that everyone took it as seriously as I did because it was just a fun exercise, but I could not help but to really think about what I wanted to draw. I wanted it to mean something to me.

According to Spain (2016), “more than 60% of all college students report they do not get the recommended weekly amount of exercise” (page 1. This is a distressingly high number. It is essential for the still developing college student to incorporate physical exercise into their daily life for not only physical reasons and benefits, but for their mental health as well. College students are under a great amount of stress and it is occasionally a challenge to fit other activities into their schedule, but with repetition it can certainly be done and the benefits are well beyond just some weight loss. In nursing some of the goals are to promote health and prevents illness, exercise does just that. It is

Nowadays, some people are very busy with their daily activities; they work a lot or study all day long. When they get home, they are tired and lazy to go for a walk or join a gym. Other people think that is a waste of time because they cannot see the benefits of exercise in a short time. This results not only in
Due to an increase in age, many seniors have a decrease in their physical activity. As people get older, an active lifestyle is more important than ever. The loss of strength and stamina attributed to aging is caused by reduced physical activity. According to the National Center of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Prevention, seniors can benefit from exercise. Some of the benefits of physical activity include reducing the risk of falling and fracturing bones, helping with endurance and muscle strength, and helping pain associated with arthritis symptoms. Exercise is not only good for the body; it’s also good for brain functions, mood, and memory. A lack of exercise during adult life can lead and become associated with fatigue, body weakness,
...r daily activities, including their effort and ability contributing in their classroom performance.as a result of exercise, student’s energy balance also related to encouraging fitness outside the classroom because of the behavioural changes of their energy expenditure. Student’s risk of obesity is decreased by physical activity modifying their body composition. Beneficial changes to student’s immune systems comes from their interaction with structured and social exercise. This lowers students’ risk of becoming sick which can also relate to their classroom performance as they will not be missing vital learning time.

Frequent exercise comes with benefits. Firstly physical activity can cause a person to loose weight. In recent years experiments have been done to support the claim that exercise helps a person loose weight. Nevertheless those experiments have shown that exercise alone does not ensure rapid weight loss but can help with maintaining weight (Day, J. 2014)....
One study reported that most college students between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four do not reach the recommended standards for physical activity, and in that same study 22% of the students reported that they took part in no physical activity at all throughout the examination period (Huang, 2003). Physical activity is a vital part of every human’s life. It greatly prevents dangerous diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. It is also a key factor in strengthening one’s bones and muscles, and on top of all of that it can help extend your life. There is no real excuse to not going out and exercising, and your body benefits from it greatly (Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and
Exercise is known as the movement of muscles and bones in the body that increase heart rate and uses a specific amount of energy in a given period. There are many forms of exercise, some examples include, running, biking, a variety of sports and weight training. However, certain people may only choose to do one form of exercise, other may do multiple. Every individual’s perspective on exercise is different. Some may choose to not get enough exercise required for a healthy balance in day to day schedules. It is important to maintain a certain level of physical activity each week in order to live a well-rounded lifestyle. Exercise has been recognized to help prevent a series of health risks such as, chronic diseases, obesity, and depression.
