This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Obesity is a growing problem among all Americans and is associated with chronic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and osteoarthritis. It is also associated with disability, especially mobility impairment, or problems with walking and getting around. Recently, researchers have also discovered that in some people, obesity might be associated with poor aerobic fitness, or problems with breathlessness and fatigue during activity. The goals of this study are to investigate the relationship of body weight with aerobic fitness and mobility impairment. We will study black and white adults of late-middle age and older, assess body weight as well as the amount of fat, muscle and bone in a person s body, and see how body composition is related to mobility limitations. This knowledge will eventually prove useful in deciding which people most need exercise interventions and in designing more useful exercise interventions.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子弹和调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构适用于该中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。肥胖是所有美国人的日益严重的问题，与慢性疾病有关，包括糖尿病，高血压，心脏病和骨关节炎。它还与残疾，尤其是移动性障碍或走路和四处走动的问题有关。最近，研究人员还发现，在某些人中，肥胖可能与有氧健身不良有关，或者在活动过程中呼吸困难和疲劳问题。 这项研究的目标是研究体重与有氧健身和活动性障碍的关系。我们将研究以后年龄及以上的黑白成年人，评估人体体重，肌肉和骨骼的体重，并查看身体成分与迁移率限制的关系。这些知识最终将证明在确定哪些人最需要锻炼干预措施以及设计更有用的运动干预措施时很有用。
