Further, aerobic exercise improves the muscles' ability to use fats during exercise, thus burning fat.
However, some critics argue that the opposite is actually true and that in fact strength training anaerobic exercises are in fact more effective at reducing obesity. According to this line of research, aerobics does not increase the resting metabolic rate as much as some anaerobic exercise does, therefore being less effective at reducing obesity. However, on the other hand, aerobic exercise does allow for longer and more frequent activity that consumes more energy, otherwise known as fat. More so, the metabolic, or fat burning activity, of the individual is higher for an estimated several hours following the aerobic activity.
What can be taken away from this information is that the best way to assist a client with losing weight is to place them on an appropriate exercise...
One thing the nurse or healthcare professional must consider first is how obese the client is. Those who are clearly obese will benefit from an exercise program that, at least at first, focuses on an anaerobic regiment. However, overall, in order to encourage the body to both burn fat during periods of exercise (aerobic) and during times of rest (anaerobic), the client looking to lose weight or maintain their current weight should use both aerobic and anaerobic forms of exercise.

Health Promotion: The three levels of prevention in health promotion in nursing practice are primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. The process of prevention in nursing practice is made up of preventing diseases, curing them, and restricting their progression. These three levels of prevention work towards health promotion, which is described as the combination of academic and environmental support for living conditions and actions that contribute to the well-being of an individual
Health Promotion: American HIV Prevention in an Era of False Security - an Investigative Study AIDS is one of the most dangerous diseases to affect humankind. AIDS awareness is best-funded and best-taught in the United States of America. This realization is especially apparent when HIV rates are examined in African countries and some Asian countries such as India. Education levels about sexually transmitted diseases in general - and funding for prevention and
Finally, the transtheoretical model proposes five stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation for action, action, and maintenance. These five stages illustrate health behavior. The transtheoretical model can be viewed more as an outcome of health promotion rather than a theory underlying health promotion strategies. However, the theoretical model can inform best practices in health promotion by nurses who work directly with clients. The theory helps health care workers evaluate the
Health Promotion Minority health is one of the most critical components of public health promotion in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2014), "some minorities experience a disproportionate burden of preventable disease, death, and disability," versus "non-minorities," meaning whites. Health promotion depends on ensuring equitable distribution of resources as a matter of social justice. While there are many diseases endemic to specific populations for genetic
Christodolous et al. (2006) find that "children who reported less than 30 minutes of daily participation in physical activity demonstrated lower prevalence rates for overweight and obesity as well as superior fitness performance. The detrimental effect of the summer break on the progress of physical fitness was less in children who did participate in physical activity than in those who did not." (Christodolous et al., 199) This helps to
Health Promotion The absence of illness does not thoroughly explain "Health", it can as well be described as wellness of the body and mind. More technically, health can be defined from two perspectives -- bodily and psychological health. A state of well-being due to regular exercises, adequate nutrition, sufficient rest, sensitivity to signs of sickness and when to seek help is referred to as Physical health. A person's fitness is showcased
