Did you stand in long lines waiting to board your aircraft? Did you spend a lot of time seated during the flight? Did you arrive at your destination tired and hypohydrated? If you answered ‘‘yes’’ to any of these questions, you may be wondering if modern air travel can be healthy. The purpose of this article is to address the issue of healthy air travel in two parts. The first part will educate you on some of the common health-related problems associated with flying. The second part shares information about U.S. airports and the services they offer to keep you physically active and healthy when you fly. This information was gathered by the ACSM Task Force on Healthy Air Travel (TFHAT). Contact information for this working group can be found in the Recommended Readings section at the end of this article.","PeriodicalId":50908,"journal":{"name":"Acsms Health & Fitness Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"18-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1249/fit.0000000000000075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66081837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Boom box charged and ready to go. Cassette tape with Neil Diamond’s latest and greatest songs available. All the items needed for a fitness instructor to head out the door and teach an aerobic dance class in the 1970s V the rest is history. Group fitness can be traced back to 1968 when Kenneth H. Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., introduced the concept of aerobic exercise. Cooper, widely known as the Father of the Modern Fitness Movement, encouraged people to exercise, with an emphasis on disease prevention rather than disease treatment (1). The next year, in 1969, Judi Sheppard Missett founded the dance-based fitness program Jazzercise consisting of 1-hour group fitness classes composed of cardio, strength, and stretch moves with elements of hip-hop, jazz dance, kickboxing, and resistance training for a total-body workout. Both milestones led to Jackie Sorensen taking the world by storm in the early 1970s. Sorensen took Cooper’s aerobics program, added music, and created one of the most influential fitness movements in modern history V aerobic dance V leading the way for today’s group fitness programs. More than 40 years later, Jazzercise is still here and Sorensen continues to produce new programs, remaining a fixture in the health and fitness industry.","PeriodicalId":50908,"journal":{"name":"Acsms Health & Fitness Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"5-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1249/fit.0000000000000072","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66081782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diabetes is a chronic longterm metabolic condition that is characterized by abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood.

Accordingly, diabetes results when either an individual’s body does not make enough insulin or the insulin in a person’s body does not work the way it should. 1.","PeriodicalId":50908,"journal":{"name":"Acsms Health & Fitness Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"56"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1249/fit.0000000000000069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66081769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
