Methods Digital plate waste estimations were analyzed for 509 NSLP and 524 LBFH meals from 2-5 grade students in four elementary schools during the 2011-2012 academic year. Nutrient Data Software for Research (NDSR) was used to determine food groups and nutrients for calculations. Independent t-tests compared NSLP and LBFH meal components. Two one-way ANOVA tests compared HEI-2010 dietary component scores by the following beverage selections: 1% plain milk, non-fat flavored milk, 100% fruit juice, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB), or water/no beverage. Results NSLP (90% non-fat flavored or 1% plain milk) and LBFH (...

The women maintained their regular diet as evidenced by comparison of three-day diet records before and during the study. The fitness level of the women improved. Resting heart rate improved from 78.2±9.9 beats per minute (bpm) to 71.4±9.9 bpm after eight weeks of walking (p<0.05). Heart rate after 6 minutes on a treadmill set at 3 miles per hour also improved (117±19.0 bpm before to 110.6±11.1 bpm after, p<0.05). The subjects lost weight (75.23±17.9 kg before to 74.55±17.81 kg after, p<0.05), and reduced percent body fat (34.4±6.0 to 33.4±6.0 percent, p<0.005). Circumference measures only indicated a reduction in one area. The chest measure reduced from 40.9±5.4 to 39.8±5.2 inches, (p<0.005). Therefore, this study indicated that walking can result in increased fitness, weight loss, and fat loss. Inch loss may not be as easily detectable.
