Article Abstract
The purposes of this secondary analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III Household Adult Data File (1988-1994) were to describe and compare exercise practices and preferences of adult Caucasians, African Americans, and Hispanics with diabetes and to relate that information to diabetes treatment modalities. The research questions were: (a) What proportion of ethnically diverse adults with diabetes do and do not exercise? (b) What are the preferred types of exercise by ethnicity, gender, and age? and (c) What are the relationships among exercise participation, exercise preference, and treatment of diabetes by ethnic group? More than one third of the total sample reported no exercise within the last month. There were no significant differences in amount of exercise by ethnic group. Gardening and walking were the preferred forms of exercise across age, gender, ethnicity, and treatment.

J Sports Med Phys Fitness

Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Niš, Niš, Serbia.
Introduction: When exercising to preferred music (PM), participants found more satisfaction and less typical exercise-related fatigue, which made it easier and more enjoyable to maintain the physical activity (PA) until the exercise goals were achieved. The purpose of this review and meta-analysis was to determine whether changes on internal training load in adult recreational athletes were modified by listening to PM and non-preferred music (NPM), during different PA.
Evidence Acquisition: A music-focused search was performed on the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant articles to this topic published after 2000 to investigate the effects of PM on psychophysiological responses to PA.
