Document Summary
Lecture 8: the effects of peer modelling on cardiorespiratory fitness parameters and self-efficacy in obese. Replication study except the population is not heart failure patients, but youth/adolescents that are obese. Potential problems of obese children for having the replicated study on obese children. Goal is to use a coping model to ease the issues in the obese youth. Aerobic fitness is a strong indicator of physical activity and also correlates with ir and type ii diabetes and cardiovascular disease (carrel et al. , 2008). Clinical diagnostic and prognostic knowledge, as well as exercise prescriptions, can be obtained from aerobic fitness information. Measured as vo2 max (ml/kg min), aerobic fitness values appear to yield inconsistent results in youth, particularly obese youth (korsten-reck et al. , 2006). Low self-efficacy is prominent in obese youth because they lack actual and perceived physical competence (southall et al. , 2004). This may translate into less effort invested by this population into physical activity, and fitness tests.
