    By Patty Freedson

    Assessment of Physical Activity and Inactivity Using Wearable Monitors: Past, Present, and Future Directions features a presentation made in memory of one of ACSM past-presidents and one of the most prominent figures in the development of sports medicine and exercise science in America-D. Bruce Dill. The DVD provides a historical overview of the use of wearable monitors to effectively monitor physical activity. With regard to wearable monitors, the DVD looks at both the past (how lab calibrations began; limitations of cut-point methods) and the present (solutions using machine learning/pattern recognition); current tools; sedentary behavior assessment, as well as the future (what is in the pipeline; next steps).

    HERITAGE FAMILY STUDY, THE: AN OVERVIEW AND SELECTED RESULTS

    By Jack H. Wilmore

    The Heritage Family Study: An Overview and Selected Results provides a review of a major investigative undertaking that explored the genetic basis (markers) of changes in risk factors for coronary disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases that occur as the result of exercise (20 weeks of aerobic endurance training). Ongoing for a number of years and featuring five of the most renowned medical and exercise science professionals in the world, the study looked at both the familiar resemblances in the research subjects' responses to training and the genes responsible for human variation in these responses to training. The DVD presents a summary of selected results from the study and offers a perspective on the possible relevance on the health of individuals.

    Among the topics covered:

  • Background information
  • Study design
  • Selected results

    SEX DIFFERENCES IN HUMAN THERMOREGULATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR ATHLETES, RESEARCHERS, AND CLINICIANS

    By Nina S. Stachenfeld

    Sex Differences in Human Thermoregulation: Implications for Athletes, Researchers, and Clinicians provides a detailed overview of the complex chemical and physical process that takes place during thermoregulation. The DVD looks at what sex differences exist in the thermoregulatory response to either heat or cold, particularly on thirst. In this regard, the DVD also examines whether the responses that occur during exercise are due to the basic physiological differences between the way that women and men respond to exercise or to change in ambient temperature. In addition, the DVD discusses whether these differences can be attributed to anthropometrical factors (such as body size, shape, and composition) or to gender-related differences in reproductive hormone levels. The DVD also reviews whether the sex differences in human thermoregulation have an impact on overall functional performance.

  • Review of thermoregulation

    30-60-90: HOW MUCH EXERCISE IS ENOUGH?

    By Ed Howley

    30-60-90: How Much Exercise Is Enough? discusses the link between exercise and the continuum of outcomes, ranging from the avoidance of disease to athletic performance.

    ACSM TUTORIAL LECTURE: SEX DIFFERENCES IN METABOLISM - POTENTIAL BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS

    By Mark A. Tarnopolsky

    Sex Differences in Metabolism: Potential Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms is a thought-provoking Tutorial Lecture from the 2008 ACSM annual meeting on how gender-based differences affect human metabolism. Initially, the DVD reviews the impact of sex differences on whole-body metabolism. The DVD then breaks metabolism down into lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and protein metabolism. The DVD also looks at the influence of the X chromosome on metabolism, as well as the impact of 17b-estradiol on the regulation of metabolism.

    Among the topics covered:

  • Lipid metabolism
  • Carbohydrate metabolism
  • Protein metabolism
  • Mechanism(s) of sex differences in metabolism
  • X chromosome's affect on metabolism

    ENERGY COST OF EXERCISE, THE: THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE E.P.O.C

    By Ed Howley

    The Energy Cost of Exercise: The Contribution of the E.P.O.C. summarizes essential information concerning the contribution of the "oxygen debt" of Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (E.P.O.C.) to the energy cost of exercise. In this regard, the DVD reviews several key factors, including the contrast between moderate and vigorous exercise in the size of the E.P.O.C. and the potential errors that have to be addressed when estimating the energy cost of a specific physical activity.

    Among the topics covered:

  • Overview
  • How is the energy cost of exercise measured?
  • Wide variety of studies
  • Physical activity is not equal to energy expenditure

    ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

    By James Sallis

    All of us are concerned with the epidemic of sedentary lifestyles, but how did we get here? More and more people believe that modern civilization has made it all too possible to lead very sedentary lives. At the same time, it is more difficult to be physically active. In Environmental Influences on Physical Activity, a leading health psychologist explains current thinking about how an individual's environment influences physical activity. The DVD also features suggestions for making environmental changes that could create benefits for the whole population.

    Among the topics covered:

  • Sedentary lifestyles are widespread
  • Possible environmental influences
  • Summary of research
  • A model to guide interventions
  • Examples of environments that facilitate physical activity
