A couple of days ago I wrote an article about snowblower safety, so today I will talk about how to safely shovel snow.

Physical inactivity is a major contributing factor to prevalence of obesity and diabetes along the Texas-Mexico Border. Walking has been identified as a popular activity, but appropriate distances are seldom attained. This investigation was performed to evaluate self-monitored pedometer use, stage of change movement, and psychosocial mediators using walking as the physical activity. Seventy students enrolled in university kinesiology activity classes (age 22.53 ± 4.5, percent M/F 8/92) volunteered to wear pedometers for nine weeks and record weekly step averages. Weekly step averages were compared with an ANOVA and psychometric variables were analyzed with MANOVA. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention survey packets containing scales measuring exercise behavior change, barri...

The U.S. Surgeon General's Healthy Apps Challenge will encourage the development and submission of technology applications that will complement and enhance two key aspects of the Surgeon General's prevention agenda: The Surgeon General's Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation (http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/obesityvision/ obesityvision2010.pdf) and the nation's first National Prevention Strategy (http://www.healthcare.gov/prevention/nphpphc/strategy/ report.pdf).

The case examines how a physical therapist started an exercise equipment and personal fitness business: Fitness Pro. Eventually, the son takes over the business and moves it to the Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, areas of the Southeast United States. As the business begins to grow, the founder's son looks for growth opportunities that fit his business model. He finds it in a similar business located in Tallahassee, Florida: Fitness Master. As these two businesses merge into one named Fitness Pro, they later start a new business in Jacksonville, Florida. Within a few years, the business has three retail stores in Savannah, Tallahasee, and Jacksonville, and several outside sales staff who focus strictly on commercial accounts. With growth, however, comes growing...
