Cardiovascular autonomic function correlates with the response to aerobic training in healthy sedentary subjects.

Individual responses to aerobic training vary from almost none to a 40% increase in aerobic fitness in sedentary subjects. The reasons for these differences in the training response are not well known. We hypothesized that baseline cardiovascular ...

Physical activity in middle school-aged children participating in a school-based recreation program.

BACKGROUND: The increasing incidence of obesity in children may be attributed in part to increased sedentary behavior, such as watching television, which leads to less energy expended in physical activity. We have theorized that by middle school, many ...
