Osgood Shlatter Disease Case Study

Improved Essays
Risks for children however, have a different turn. There are so many different that can be detrimental to children. As a child, I developed Osgood Schlatter Disease at a young age because of exercising. I found out that it stunts growth and can put stress on your muscles and bones. I think that this is a very big, long term risk that children can have and I wish that my OSD would go away very soon.

To calculate the most accurate BMR for Steve, you must use the equation:
BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in year).
He is 178 pounds and 6 feet tall.

BMR = 66 + (6.23 x 178) + (12.7 x 72) - (6.8 x 27) = 1905.74

To calculate his DCR, I must multiply his BMR with how much he exercises which is moderate:
BMR x 1.55 = 2953.9

Steve’s Target Heart Rate:

Supplements aren’t enough, and surely aren’t an alternative source for food. Steve will need to eat lean meats and avoid all of the red stuff. Green vegetables are a very good source, also fruits. Replacing white rice with brown rice is smarter because brown rice has less calories per serving, has more potassium, etc. I recommend chicken every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s can have fish in his diet. The weekends can be used as a cheat weekend. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN EATING JUNK FOOD OR FAST FOOD. Go out to a bakery or even a butcher to obtain meats to cook at home. You should not eat any processed

    “Assessment of Physical Activity Levels of 3rd and 4th Grade Children Using Pedometers during Physical Education Class” 1. This research study was also found on the ERIC database. After reading and analyzing two studies that discussed strategies on encouraging physical activity and/or education in the schools, the importance of who is teaching the class, and then also the support the school gets for physical activity, I found this study interesting since it dealt with the actual physical education class and what the children were actually getting out of the class. A school may have physical education classes but if the students are not benefitting from the thirty to forty-five minutes spent in the class, then it does them no good. I searched…
