摘要:

Move over, Arnold, There's a revolution going on in the fitness industry, and it's not about walking or jogging. The effects of resistance exercise (strength training) on health status have been largely overlooked—until now.

摘要:

A 35-year-old woman with two young children asks you how to get into shape. She doesn't want a personal trainer or an exercise class, just an orientation to your gym. You design a balanced and effective strength and flexibility program based on her needs, calculate a target heart rate, and discuss perceived exertion. She's fired up and promises to start that week. Yet when you check on her a month later, she mumbles something about not finding time for exercise. After a long day at work, preparing dinner, helping the kids with homework, getting them to bed, picking up a few things around the house, and catching a few minutes with her husband, she's just too tired!

摘要:

Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure consistently above 140–159 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure consistently above 90–99 mm Hg. The goal of treatment is to reduce or prevent the adverse effects of hypertension on various organs by reducing systolic blood pressure to less than 130 and diastolic blood pressure to less than 85 mmHg, without reducing a person's quality of life or causing adverse metabolic effects.Hypertension is divided into two categories, primary and secondary. Ninety-five percent of individuals have primary, or essential, hypertension, which is high blood pressure with no known cause. The remaining 5%, with secondary hypertension, have an endocrine or renal abnormality such as a tumor of the adrenal glands or kidneys. Another cause of high blood pressure has been referred to as the “white coat syndrome.” This is a temporary condition that occurs in some individuals when they are nervous or excited, like when making a visit to their health-care provider.Blood pressure may also increase as we age. It is not abnormal for our resting blood pressure to increase because of arteriosclerosis.
