In progress for 2019. Stay tuned for Strong Bodies - Strong Minds Integrated Therapy.
Need for Intervention:
> Obesity is costing the United States $605 billion annually, including over $200 billion in direct healthcare costs (Pianin & Ehley, 2014).
> More than one-third (78.6 Million) of American adults are obese (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, 2014).
> The highest rates of obesity are found among senior adults (Hojjat, 2013; Smith et al., 2011).
> The most significant prevalence rate of comorbid depression and obesity is 66% reported in obese older adults (Preiss, Brennan, & Clarke, 2013).

New 2022 Review Coming Soon. I selected the legendary Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri for review. Although I attended an event at the museum in the 90’s, honoring my 1994 undefeated Kansas City Mustangs, it was before they moved into the 10,000 square-foot professionally staffed space it currently occupies.
The Negro Leagues folded in the mid-60s, but their powerful and lasting legacy lives on through the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum! - Dr. Robelyn Garcia
My analysis supports The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum as fitting the International Council of Museums (ICOM) definition presented by Professor Burton-Jones; “A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment.”

Review By Dr. Daniela L. Benavidez, ABD
More than twenty years after having been conducted, Dr. Garcia’s research on effective abdominal exercises is still as relevant as ever. In this review and reprint edition, Utilizing Evidence Based Abdominal Exercise Programs for Improving Core
Strength and Endurance: A Critical Review Comparing the Analysis of the Effects of Two Abdominal Exercise Programs, brings with it a refreshing perspective to the current design of physical education and athletic workout programs in America.
While not all abdominal exercises are created equal, it is no surprise that neither the benefits of such exercises. Dr. Garcia’s study compared the abdominal strength and endurance improvements of two groups of weight-training students. One group performed traditional full-range (bent-knee) sit-ups, while the other group performed both curl-ups and full-range sit-ups. The study sought to determine whether including curl-ups in an abdominal exercise plan was as effective, less effective, or more effective, when compared to performing full-range sit-ups alone. It is of import to notate that the bent knee sit-up test was used in this study. This assessment is common in fitness competitions and endorsed by several health organizations including the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (Garcia, 1992).
In the day of modifications, differentiated instruction, and universal access physical education, perhaps the most relevant inquiry is: will an exercise help improve health and physical performance? Dr. Garcia’s study answers just that. In the quest
for continued improvement and excellence in the area of abdominal strength and endurance, this study reveals that the bent-knee full range sit-up exercise is preeminent for improving the performance of sit-up assessments and sit-up competitions in already-fit individuals.
