However, following the completion of pulmonary rehabilitation the benefits begin to decline unless the program is of longer duration or ongoing maintenance exercise is followed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine if supervised, weekly, hospital-based exercise compared to home exercise will maintain the benefits gained from an eight-week pulmonary rehabilitation program in COPD subjects to twelve months. Following completion of an eight-week pulmonary rehabilitation program, COPD subjects will be recruited and randomised (using concealed allocation in numbered envelopes) into either the maintenance exercise group (supervised, weekly, hospital-based exercise) or the control group (unsupervised home exercise) and followed for twelve months. Measurements will be taken at baseline (post an eight-week pulmonary rehabilitation program), three, six and twelve months. T he exercise measurements will include two six-minute walk tests, two incremental shuttle walk tests, and two endurance shuttle walk tests. Oxygen saturation, heart rate and dyspnoea will be monitored during all these tests. Quality of life will be measured using the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Participants will be excluded if they require supplemental oxygen or have neurological or musculoskeletal co-morbidities that will prevent them from exercising independently.

There are few common factors that you should take into consideration though. Here are some tips on how to identify good programs and what works for most people.

These results suggest that the tendency for overweight people to move less could be genetic, predisposing them toward sedentary behavior. Anyone can reap the benefits of NEAT if they simply move more, and sit less, during the day. Examples of NEAT include tapping your toes, fidgeting, standing, or other ways of using up energy. This is especially important for people who want to shed some pounds and those with sedentary jobs or lives.

Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer, has formulated a new technique that makes it easier for overweight individuals to overcome their attachment to food, and in the process start losing weight. Based on the reason that overeating has an emotional component, EFT(Emotional Freedom Techniques) addresses this problem through the use of energy meridians or energy channels, the same channels utilized by traditional Chinese medicine and Aryuvedic medicine, which have been around for centuries. Craig reports that there are many cases where in the primary cause of the weight gain is an underlying emotional issue, like boredom, fear, anger, shame, resentment, etc. and these negative emotions cause an imbalance in the bodys energy system. Unless the unbalanced state is addressed, the person will continue to eat as a coping mechanism, and will continue to gain weight. The best answer to this problem is to address the emotional issue that is causing the person to gain weight, and that can be successfully done with Emotional Freedom Techniques. http://advice-and.info/Health-and-Fitness/81074_How_Eft_Helps_You_Polevault_Weight_Problems.html Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:56:16 GMT Its January and nearly EVERYONE has dreams of New Years Resolutions dancing in their heads.
