Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has confidence that including Tonawanda exercise to your way of life is a positive behavior that ultimately enhances your life. Let’s get moving!
EXERCISE MOTIVATORS
Culture can be encouraging of physical activity…or not. Researchers studied a variety of motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is an act of self-determination, they described the mix 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 adapt exercise to the patient and his/her influences. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? Out of the house? Maybe some mindfulness? To enrich the exercise effort, inserting mindfulness appears promising. Researchers found though that people have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is beneficial to mental and overall health. A recent study analyzed the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in preventing mental health issues and concluded that it was promising. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation appreciates those types of benefits!
BENEFITS FOR COGNITION, PAIN RELIEF WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
A pill maybe?! None of us would admit wanting to take a pill to be physically fit…or would we? Of course not! As the pharmacological world looks for drugs to enhance cognitive function in the aging folks, researchers have also described nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even dancing – ballroom, aerobic and Latin - as being useful. (3) Great motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and easing chronic pain – associated with decreased brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was found to restore normal brain function. (4) That’s what Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care incorporating 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 participate in activities to support that lifestyle like exercise and eating well. Factors like personality and goal-setting habits were proposed as influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers saw that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns influenced their healthy lifestyle. Foregoing breakfast in the morning – 11% of kids in one study did this – was associated with sleep duration, bedtime, and physical activity. 9.5% of kids said they experienced poor sleep. 24.9% did not sleep more than the recommended 9 hours. Girls were not as physically active. Bad news: Such unhealthy habits lessened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Good] news: Better sleep quality improved reaction time in a visual attention exam.
