LEOMINSTER -- HealthAlliance Hospital continues its commitment to improving the health of the community by offering a series of health and wellness lectures, events, services and support groups. These series are made possible through a sponsorship by Rollstone Bank & Trust.

The hospital's Community Health and Educational Series included a back-pain lecture presented by Dr. Robert Deters, physiatrist at UMass Memorial Orthopedics, at HealthAlliance on Jan. 19. Nearly 60 people attended the lecture.

"Maintaining your health requires making it a priority in your life and making good lifestyle choices," said Deters. "Your back is no different. The most important thing you can do to prevent back pain is to get into a regular exercise program. If you smoke, it is another reason to quit. Smoking is a big risk factor for severe disk degeneration and lower-back pain. Exercise and smoking cessation will not only help prevent severe lumbar degenerative disk disease, but also will help prevent heart disease, lung disease, vascular disease and complications from diabetes."

Doctor: Prevent back pain with regular exercise

VANCOUVER, Feb. 24, 2012 /CNW/ - The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, today announced a new research project aimed at improving the cardiovascular health of people with spinal cord injuries.

The Minister was joined by Dr. Howard Feldman, Associate Dean of Research (Medicine), University of British Columbia (UBC); lead researcher Dr. Andrei Krassioukov, of the ICORD spinal cord injury research program at UBC and the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute; and Ms. Marni Abbott-Peter, a three-time Paralympic gold medallist in wheelchair basketball.

"Our Government understands the importance of basic exercise in promoting good health," said Minister Aglukkaq. "We are proud to make investments that will allow both patients and doctors to find innovative ways to help people with spinal cord injuries become as active as possible, and lead healthier and happier lives."

The research project, entitled "Improving cardiovascular health for Canadians living with spinal cord injury: Effects of exercise and targeted education," was supported by a grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

"CIHR is pleased to support this outstanding research project," said Dr. Jean Rouleau, Scientific Director of the CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health.  This research will find practical solutions that will transform the lives of Canadians living with spinal cord injuries."

The announcement was made at the ICORD program at the Blusson Spinal Cord Centre, located at Vancouver General Hospital

"We are extremely pleased to receive this support," said lead investigator Dr. Andrei Krassioukov.  "We have an extraordinary team of passionate clinicians and scientists working in collaboration from across the country as part of this grant. The knowledge we develop will directly translate to improving cardiovascular outcomes and the health in general of Canadians with spinal cord injury."

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the Government of Canada's health research investment agency. CIHR's mission is to create new scientific knowledge and to enable its translation into improved health, more effective health services and products, and a strengthened Canadian health care system. Composed of 13 Institutes, CIHR provides leadership and support to more than 14,100 health researchers and trainees across Canada.

Harper Government supports research on exercise for people with spinal cord injuries

fit.reActive is Orlando’s new mobile personal training service, specializing in customized exercise programs for the home and office.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) February 24, 2012

fit.reActive is Orlando’s new mobile personal training service, specializing in customized exercise programs for the home and office.

Demanding work schedules, family obligations and uncertainty are typical excuses people use to avoid exercise. “With escalating health concerns across America, fitness programs have never been more popular or necessary, but most people don’t know where to begin without a trainer,” says fit.reActive! owner Earnest McDonald. “We felt there were opportunities gyms and health clubs were not exploring to help these busy individuals, and we wanted to conveniently bring fun and effective exercise routines into homes and offices at affordable prices.”

fit.reActive! arrives on the heels of a 2011 report from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which ranks Florida as the 29th most obese state in the nation with an obesity rate of 26.1 percent among adults. Poor nutrition and physical inactivity are major contributors to this serious health epidemic, and fit.reActive! was conceived to improve overall fitness through weight management and routine exercise. “The ability to train in the home and office is especially beneficial to working professionals and stay-at-home parents who are insecure about body image, unfamiliar with exercise equipment or uncomfortable in the health club environment”, McDonald continues. “Once the intimidation factor is removed, our clients feel more empowered to reach their fitness goals and eventually feel better about themselves.”

fit.reActive! primarily caters to communities south of Orlando, including Hunter’s Creek, Kissimmee, Celebration, Windermere, Dr. Phillips and Lake Nona. Its services include one-on-one personal training, buddy training with 2 to 4 clients, outdoor fitness boot camps and nutrition counseling between the hours of 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday. “Future expansion into other communities is possible, but our goal is to initially concentrate our business in a specific region to better respond to the needs of our customers,” McDonald says.

Earnest McDonald is a certified personal trainer with the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). He is also a certified group fitness instructor of world renowned RPM cycling and BodyPump weight training programs by Les Mills International.

Many of San Francisco's public elementary schools aren't scheduling as much time as they should for student exercise, according to a new UCSF study to be announced today.

Part of the problem is that while middle and high schools can require students to take a certain number of physical education classes, elementary schools don't have such scheduled periods. State budget cuts and pressure to raise test scores have also pushed physical education down the priority list, teachers told researchers.

In response to the report, San Francisco Unified School District officials said Wednesday they plan to hire four additional P.E. specialists for the city's 73 elementary schools, bringing the total number to 19.

"Ideally we would love to be able to have a dedicated P.E. teacher for each school," said district spokeswoman Gentle Blythe. "Given that that's not likely, the next best set of actions that we plan to take is to make sure we have more professional development for multi-subject teachers around teaching P.E., and also to help principals make sure that requirements are met."

State policy says elementary school students should receive 200 minutes of scheduled physical education for every 10 days, or about 20 minutes a day. Recess doesn't count toward that total. Middle- and high-school students should get an average of 40 minutes of scheduled physical education a day, according to the state.

About one-fifth of the elementary schools included in the study met that goal, the study found. On average the city's schools scheduled 150 minutes of physical education every 10 days but only managed to actually hold 114 minutes of physical activity due to schedule changes or other problems.

The UCSF researchers observed fifth-, seventh- and ninth-grade physical education classes at 20 elementary schools, four middle schools and four high schools on three days between February and May last year. The researchers also interviewed students, teachers and principals.

Exercise among children has been the focus of national attention in recent years, with campaigns like first lady Michelle Obama's initiative to fight childhood obesity. The results of last year's state Physical Fitness Test showed that only one-third of California schoolchildren could be considered fit enough to complete six assessments.

"Teachers feel incredibly overwhelmed and overburdened," said Hannah Thompson, a leader of the UCSF study. "When it comes down to it, schools have to think about things they are held accountable for, like test scores."

Still, the school district has succeeded in some areas of physical education. Thompson said that while other school districts in the state have great racial and socioeconomic disparities when it comes to access to physical education programs, the study did not find such gaps within San Francisco schools.

The UCSF study was supported by Shape Up San Francisco, a city health initiative. Funding came from the California Obesity Prevention Project.
