Why Aerobic Exercise? Although
traditional treatment of body image problems has consisted primarily of
cognitive-behavioral therapy (Cash, 1995), more recently, exercise has become
more popular as a treatment modality. Researchers have previously documented
the positive changes that occur in physical fitness following either aerobic
or strength training. In a study of young females, Kraimer, et al. (2001)
found that participants participating in bench step aerobics or a combination
of bench step aerobics and resistance training improved in V[O.sup.2] peak,
resting heart rate, and percent fat. The participants who incorporated resistance
training into their regime also improved in muscular strength and endurance. |
