Participation rates of older people in resistance training (RT) are low despite increasing research showing many health benefits. To increase the number of older people participating in RT it is important to know what would motivate people to become involved, what motivates those who participate to continue, and the factors preventing many older people from commencing participation. To investigate these issues, a questionnaire was mailed to three groups of older people: (1) those receiving home care services, (2) members of a peak non-government seniors’ organisation and (3) those participating in a specific gym-based RT programme. In total, 1327 questionnaires were returned (response rate = 42.5%). To feel good physically and mentally were the main reasons motivating participation among all three groups, and falls prevention was identified as an important motivator for the home care respondents. Pain, injury and illness were the main barriers to participating, or continuing to participate. However, medical advice was a factor influencing participation commencement. The results suggest organisations providing RT programmes for older people should tailor the promotion and delivery of programmes to address key motivators and barriers specific to each group to increase the proportion of older people initiating and continuing to engage in RT.  相似文献   

抗球皇和独球对人工感染鸡球虫病的疗效观察   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

姜云立  金光明  江贝贝 《安徽科技学院学报》2005,19(1):5-7

试验选用14日龄健康鸡140只,随机分为4组,每组35只鸡,观察马杜霉素铵与磺胺氯吡嗪钠对鸡球虫病的治疗效果.第一组使用抗球皇,第二组使用独球,第三组感染不投药,第四组作健康对照.在21日龄时对鸡进行球虫人工感染,在感染4d后开始用药,并记录数据.结果表明,马杜霉素铵和磺胺氯吡嗪钠对试验鸡的增重率和抗球虫指数分别达到了97.1%、170.0和94.2%、161.6.说明马杜霉素铵对鸡球虫病有很好的疗效,而磺胺氯吡嗪钠对鸡球虫病的治疗效果一般.  相似文献

对评价大学生身体成分方法的研究   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

李爱春  周君来  黄滨 《天津体育学院学报》2007,22(2):143-145

为研究在校大学生身体成分测量的最佳方法,采用皮褶法、生物电阻抗法(BAI)、身体质量指数(BMI)、腰臀比(WHR)和身高标准体重法,分别对随机抽取的220名大学生进行身体成分测试,并进行相关分析。结果发现:1.BAI、皮褶法、BMI和WHR可用来测量和评价大学生的身体成分,但其准确性依次是BAI>皮褶法>BMI>WHR;2.《标准》中身高标准体重不能客观有效地评价身体成分,故建议选用体脂百分比。  相似文献

徐沛责力  姚天祥 《科技广场》2014,(1):228-232

本文通过采用灰色定权聚类评价分析模型,并将反映节能减排情况的各项内容进行量化,对江苏省各工业行业2010年的节能减排成效进行评价。结果表明:纺织业、化学原料及化学制品制造业、石油加工、炼焦及核燃料加工业以及造纸及纸制品业的成效较好,非金属矿物制品业和黑色金属冶炼及压延加工业的成效较一般,且并没有成效相对较差的行业。结合各项指标数据,本文还对评价结果进行了具体分析,并针对各行业的节能减排工作提出了相应的改进建议。  相似文献   

The effect of pedometer use on physical activity and body weight in obese women     

《European Journal of Sport Science》2013,13(4):351-356

Abstract

Physical activity and healthy eating are of the utmost importance in treatment of obesity. However obese generally tend to have a sedentary lifestyle. Walking is a form of physical activity that is both simple and can be performed by everyone, but it requires an objective measurement. Number of steps taken during tracking can be recorded with the pedometer, a device used to measure the level of physical activity. We aimed to investigate whether or not using pedometers as a motivational technique to increase the level of physical activity in obese women has an impact on weight loss. Eighty-four obese women who are similar age referring to Ataturk University Faculty of Medicine Healthy Living Clinic, Turkey were randomly divided into two groups. Intervention group were given pedometers, and control group were prescribed similar diet and physical activity with a three-month follow-up plan without pedometers. Mean weight in pedometer group initially was 88.9 ± 8.4 kg, which decreased to 80.2 ± 8.7 kg after the programme. Mean weight in control group was 86.1 ± 9.2 kg at the beginning, and it decreased to 84.7 ± 8.8 kg after three months. It was observed in pedometer group that the mean number of steps 8817 ± 2725 steps/day at the beginning increased to mean 9716 ± 2811 steps/day at the end of the study. Weight, body mass index, body fat percentage and waist circumference measurements decreased more greatly in the pedometer when compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Pedometers may be recommended to obese patients to monitor and increase the level of physical activity and to promote weight loss.  相似文献

基于期刊加权被引次数的期刊评价方法     

李栎  陈豪  姚勤  单甜甜  曹洪欣 《中华医学图书馆杂志》2014,(10):70-74

针对目前各图书馆的核心期刊评价不能准确反映读者对期刊的实际需求与馆藏期刊实际利用情况的问题,及不同署名位次的作者对文后参考文献的利用程度不同,提出了基于期刊加权被引次数的馆藏期刊评价方法,并以第二军医大学作者引用较多的风湿病学西文期刊为例进行期刊评价,结果证明利用该方法进行期刊评价要优于基于引文分析的传统期刊评价方法。  相似文献
