EXERCISE MOTIVATORS
Culture can be supportive of physical activity…or not. Researchers evaluated a variety of motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is an act of self-determination, they detailed the combination of autonomy, competence, ego, task, and relatedness of these in the motivation to exercise. American subjects were more autonomous, task oriented, and physically active than Turkish subjects reminding researchers and ultimately us clinicians to tailor exercise to the patient and his/her interests. (1) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? At-gym? Maybe some mindfulness? To enhance the exercise effort, adding mindfulness appears hopeful. Researchers found though that many have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is beneficial to mental and overall health. One study analyzed the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in averting mental health issues and concluded that it held promise. (2) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers appreciates those kinds of benefits!
BENEFITS FOR COGNITION, PAIN RELIEF WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
A pill maybe?! None of us would confess to wanting a pill to be physically fit…or would we? Of course not! As the pharmacological world investigates new drugs to enhance cognitive function in the aging folks, researchers have also listed nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even dancing – ballroom, aerobic and Latin - as being useful. (3) Important motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and alleviating chronic pain – related to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was found to restore normal brain function. (4) That’s what Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care featuring spinal manipulation.
OLDER FOLKS AND YOUNG KIDS
Curious researchers tackled the question of older adults’ goals, motivations, and self-determination motivators to follow a healthy lifestyle and do things to support that lifestyle like exercise and eating well. Factors like personality and goal-setting habits were suggested influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers observed that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns affected their healthy lifestyle. Foregoing breakfast in the morning – 11% of kids in a recent study did this – was linked to sleep duration, bedtime, and physical activity. 9.5% of kids said they had poor sleep. 24.9% slept less than the suggested 9 hours. Girls were not as physically active. Sad news: Such less-than-healthy habits lessened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Good] news: Better sleep quality bettered their reaction time in a visual attention test.
