Track 1: Fitness Science

Fitness Management conference defines that : Fitness is defined as the quality of being suitable to perform a particular task.

Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons, including strengthening muscles and the Cardiovascular regulations and energy systems, honing athletic skills, Weight training techniques and exercise science, and merely enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart rate training , cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity. It may also help prevent depression, help to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, improve mental health generally, and can augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which has been found to be linked with higher levels of self-esteem. Aerobics is a growing global concern, and physical exercise may help decrease some of the effects of obesity. Health care providers often call exercise the "miracle" or "wonder" drug—alluding to the wide variety of proven benefits that it can provide.

 

Fitness Marketing and Industry

 

A rainbow has sprung from the ongoing storm of budget cuts that has swirled around physical education (PE) in U.S. schools for the past decade: In early October, the U.S. Department of Education announced that 256 school districts and other organizations will receive a record $59 million from the Carol M. White Physical Education for Progress (PEP) Program for school year 2003-2004. PEP grants provide funds directly to schools to purchase sports/fitness equipment and train teachers to apply innovative PE programs in schools and communities

 

This year’s grant awards, which were awarded to communities across 45 states and territories, range from $28,230 to $570,000. PEP funding will be spent on a wide array of sports products, including pedometers, heart rate monitors, fitness assessment technology, inline skates, climbing walls, cross-country skis, treadmills and traditional sports equipment.

Track 2 : Obesity and health complications

 

Obesity and overweight can have serious health effects. The main outcomes include: Tiredness & lack of energy; Cravings; Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance; Problems with your heart and High blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Cancers, skin diseases and osteoarthritis A Primer of Skin Diseases Associated With Obesity Yeast infections, as would be expected, are a very common problem among the obese. Tackling obesity is a major priority the Government has said, as a report warns that one in five cancer deaths is caused by it. Fat tissue in the body produces hormones and other things that affect the way our cells grow and leads to cancer. Due to overweight we are facing Breathing disorders, gall bladder diseases, Impact of obesity on gynecology Rising obesity rates around the world have had a profound impact on female reproductive health. Childhood obesity is associated with early onset of puberty, menstrual irregularities during adolescence and polycystic ovary syndrome. Women of reproductive age with high BMIs have a higher risk of ovulatory problems and tend to respond poorly to fertility treatment. Obesity, which results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, is an increasingly prevalent condition in Western society that heightens the risk for reproductive disorders. High Triglycerides and Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol can't dissolve in the blood. It must be transported through your bloodstream by carriers called lipoproteins, which got their name because they’re made of fat (lipid) and proteins Recently, non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C) has become a commonly used marker for a blood lipid pattern associated with increased risk of heart disease.To calculate non-HDL-C, you only need to know the numbers for total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

Bariatric surgery conferences gives detailed description about surgery: Surgery can involve cutting, abrading, suturing, or otherwise physically changing body tissues and organs. Different surgeries for weightloss Bariatric surgery and Surgical therapy of morbid obesity cause weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of nutrients, or by a combination of both gastric restriction and malabsorption. Bariatric procedures also often cause hormonal changes. Most weight loss surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery).The most common bariatric surgery procedures are gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. Each surgery has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some more surgeries for weightloss Cosmetic surgery and liposuction treatments for obesity, liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion. Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery used to remove unwanted body fat. The operation is also known as liposculpture or suction-assisted lipectomy. Malabsorptive Surgery or gastric bypass surgerya type of bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery), is a procedure that alters the process of digestion. Bariatric surgery is the only option today that effectively treats morbid obesity in people for whom more conservative measures such as diet, exercise, and medication have not been effective. Weight loss surgery- Complications, While weight loss surgery can successfully remove the fat in the body, it can't cause skin to revert to its pre-obesity tightness and firmness.

Track 5: Childhood Obesity causes and Risk Factors

 

Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child's health or well-being. As methods to determine body fat directly are difficult, the diagnosis of obesity is often based on BMI. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity in children and its many adverse health effects it is being recognized as a serious public health concern . The obesity epidemic is attributable to dietary and behavioral trends acting on a person's genetic makeup to determine body mass and susceptibility to obesity-related disease. Some socio economic factors, according to the World Health Organization, the escalating international epidemic of obesity is now the most significant contributor to ill health. More than 30% of US adults are obese, i.e. body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2, and it is feared that one in three children born in the early 21st century will develop diabetes with a consequent reduction in lifetime expectancy. Obesity accounts for 5–7% of national health expenditure in the US. Obesity is as much a psychological as a physical problem. Some epidemiologies for childhood obesity, encourage healthy eating habits.

Track 7: Weightloss and Fitness in Women

 

According to National Center for Health Statistics of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Just over one-third of overweight adult women are obese. Being overweight or obese can increase your risk of: Heart disease Stroke Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, breathing problems. Maternal obesity increases the risk of a number of pregnancy complications and, as such, requires adjustment to routine prenatal care.  A recent meta-analysisstudies revealed that obese pregnant women have an estimated risk of stillbirth that is twice that of normal weight pregnant women. The average pregnant woman needs only about300 healthy calories more a day than she did before she was pregnant. This will help her gain the right amount of weight gain during Pregnancy. Menopause occurs when a woman stops ovulating and her monthly period (menstruation) stops. Menopausal women often experience weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. Most women gain weight as they age, but excess pounds aren't inevitable. To minimize menopause weight gain, step up your activity level and enjoy a healthy diet. Diet charts and meal planners for women are - eat 1500 calories one day, and 2100 calories the next. This can be as simple as halving then doubling a portion size, or adding a post-workout shake into the plan. Women who practice yoga tend to have lower body mass indexes and better control over their weight than those who do not practice yoga. Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories.

Lasting Weight Loss for New Moms:
Coming into pregnancy with excess weight and gaining a lot of weight during pregnancy can make it harder to lose weight afterwards. Being Sedentary, not getting enough support from friends and family, time pressures, and lack of motivation can also make it more difficult to lose weight.  Some suggestions Lasting Weight Loss for New Moms: l low-fat and fat-free yogurt; low-fat deli meats; low-fat or fat-free pudding made with milk or containing 30 percent calcium (especially good for quelling chocolate cravings!); part-skim cheese sticks; prepackaged sliced fruits and vegetables; ready-made salads; cooked whole grains such as brown rice; whole-grain cereals, breads and pastas
