Exam 1 Flashcards
benefits of good health
delay death, avoid disease, enjoy life, withstand challenges, improve Systolic BP and lipid profiles, lose body fat
benefits of fitness
- continued with healthy benefits
- greater reduction of CVD
- greater reduction in diastolic blood pressure
- enhanced glucose control
- greater increase in CRF
rank the 5 leading causes of death in the US
- Cardiovascular disease (31%
- cancer (23.2%)
- chronic lower respiratory disease (5.3%
- accidents (5.1%)
- alzheimer’s disease (3.1%)
what percentage of people die from
- smoking
- poor diet and physical inactivity
- alcohol consumption
- smoking 18.1%
- poor diet and physical inactivity ( 15.2%
- alcohol consumption (3.5%
what are 4 subcategories of physical activity
- self care or daily tasks
- occupational or leisure time activities
- recreational activity
- structured activity or competitive sport
List 6 impacts that physical activity can have on a persons health
- improved cardio-respiratory health
- improved metabolic health
- improved musculoskeletal health
- reduction in certain types of cancers
- improved mental health
- improved functional ability and overall reduction in falls
what results did the Harvard Alumni find with regards to leisure time physical activity and risk of heart attack
If a person expended greater than 2000 kcals during LTPA it would decrease their risk of having a heart attack by 36%
- the focus of physical activity shifted from higher intensity fitness to
1. health outcomes
2. volume of activity
3. LTPA
what year was physical activity declared a major risk factor by the AHA
1992
what year did ACSM publish public health guidelines and state that people should participate in moderate activity 30 min /day 5 days per week
1995
what is the intent of ACSM’s 30 min/day 5 day/week recommendation
health benefits
what is the intent of the Institute of Medicine’s 60 min moderate PA per day
health benefits and prevention of weight gain
what is the intent of the International Obesity Task Force’s 60-90 min/day moderate PA
prevention of weight regain in those who have lost a large amount of weight
what are the ACSM PA guidelines for reducing chronic disease
- 30 min moderate intensity 5 days per week
- 20 minutes vigorous, 3 days per week
- or some combo of the 2
what volume of PA results in substantial health benefits
500-1000 MET minutes per week
1 minute of vigorous intensity is equal to how many minutes of moderate intensity
2 minutes
how many minutes of moderate and vigorous activity are recommended each week
150 min moderate
or
75 min vigorous
does vigorous or moderate activity produce greater reductions in the risk of CV disease
vigorous
what are the 5 components of health-related fitness
- relative leanness
- cardio respiratory fitness
- muscular strength
- muscular endurance
- flexibility
what are the 6 components of performance related fitness
- speed
- agility
- balance
- power
- coordination
- reaction time
how many times per week should an adult perform activities to maintain or increase muscular strength and endurance
minimum of 2days/week
what are the 2 important conclusions that influenced the development of the PA recommendations
- important health benefits can be obtained by performing a moderate amount of PA on most, if not all, days of week
- additional health benefits result from greater amounts of regular PA
what percent of adults are physically inactive globally
31.1%
what percent of adults meet the aerobic activity guidelines
51.6%

29.3%
what percent of adults meet both the aerobic and muscle strengthening guidelines
20.6%
define agility
ability to change position of body in space with speed and accuracy
define body composition
the relative amounts of muscle, fat, bone, and other vital parts of the body
what is the MET range for very light/light PA
<3METs
what is the MET range for moderate activity
3-5.9 Mets
what is the MET range for vigorous activity
> 6.0 METS
what is the ratio of non fatal and fatal cardiovascular complication during cardiac rehabilitation
One nonfatal complication per 34,673 hours
One fatal complication per 116,402 hours
