About Me

Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Physical Activity Decreases Blood Sugar

A JAMA study (2011, 305(17): 1808-1809) was reported on in today's MedPage Today. The report stated that researchers found that structured aerobic exercise programs and resistance training regimens (or a combination of the two) were associated with dcreases in glycated hemoglobin levels. It was noted that more than 150 minutes of exercise per week produced the best reduction.
