Final exam Flashcards
What’s the difference between being sedentary vs inactive
Physical inactivity is described as not meeting specified guidelines or insufficient amounts where as sedentary behaviour is described as any waking moment that is being preformed with less then 1.5 mets
Physical activity requires a minimum of 1.5 Mets
What characterizes sedentary behaviour
Intensity - less then 1.5 METs
Posture - sitting or reclining
What is total energy expenditure and what is it composed of
How we burn/use energy
Basal metabolic rate
Diet thermogenesis
PA thermogenesis
What is non exercise energy expenditure (NEAT)
Includes the energy expenditure associated with posture fidgeting daily movements
Can be the largest component
How much time per day is spent in each category of EE
PA thermogenesis= 4h 11min
-3 hours 46mins= light activity
NEAT = 9hours and 48mins
What comprises our sedentary behaviour
Domestic (tv)
Occupational
Transportation
Health risks of sedentary behaviour
Metabolic syndrome Cardiovascular disease Type 2 diabetes Cancer All cause mortality Depression and anxiety
Health benefits of light activity
More frequent interruptions decreases BMI and waist circumference and post prandial
Research on physiological implications and sedentary behaviour
Tested bed rest patients
LPL activity = more sitting less LPL
2h of tv time = 23% increase in obesity
2h of work desk = 5% increase in obesity
What is lipoprotein lipase
LPL is a transport enzyme that takes lose fat to your muscles for energy
Sedentary behaviour obesity and cancer
Sitting causes weight gain
Can cause cancer
What do we know about sedentary behaviour and psychological outcomes
Adults who watch 42 hours a week of tv have a 31% higher chance of retaining a mental disorder
What is roses paradox
What may lead to a small change for an individual may lead to a large change across society
What is public health
Dealing with the protection and improvement of community health by organized community effort and including preventative medicine
What is the monetary reduction associated with small change in health risk factors of Manitobans
1% risk factor reduction = 210 million annual savings and 1.77 billion cumulative savings
2% risk factor reduction = 426 million annual savings and 3.85 billion cumulative savings
World wide how much does physical inactivity cost
Public
Private
Individuals
Public= 32.1
Private= 12.9
Individual= 9.7
(Billion)
What are the costs of physical inactivity in Canada for direct and indirect costs
Direct= 2.4 billion Indirect= 4.3 billion
Why is it important to know the costs of inactivity in Canada
Created public support for PA promotion
Prioritize funding accordingly
Convince people to take action
What evidence proves that promoting PA saves money
Katzmarzyk said if we treat PA as a prescription we can save money
Zheng did a study on Australians
- adults walking 30mins 5-7 days=7.2 decrease
- all walking 30 mins 5-7 days = 12% decrease
- all walking 60mins = 24% decrease
Why is the response to the costs not proportional to the problem
You can’t sell PA
No pharmacists will promote it
People are not patient
What is exercise dependence
A craving for leisure time physical activity resulting in uncontrollable excessive exercise behaviour
Why can’t we just rely on the time people spend exercising to know if they are dependent
You must have 3 or more of the criteria because you face commitment vs problematic
Those who are training or athletes are not necessarily dependent because they do not have a problem
What is the criteria for exercise dependence
Tolerance Withdrawal Intention Loss of control Time Conflict Continuance
How was exercise dependence discovered
Barkeland in 1970 did a study that no runners wanted to do because it meant they had to stop running and those who did participate showed withdrawal symptoms
What was the prevalence on exercise dependence
Hasenbias did a study and found
- 9% were at risk for exercise dependence
- 40% displayed symptoms
- 40% displayed no symptoms
What is exercise deprivation
Psychological and physiological effects that occur during periods of no physical activity
Research on exercise deprivation
PA leads to psychological positive states stoppage of PA leads to the opposite
Mood disturbances occur 24-48 hours after stoping exercise and they go away when exercise is begun
Why might people become exercise dependent
Psychological
- personality trait
- affective regulation
Physiological
- endorphins
What is the difference between primary and secondary exercise dependence
Why people exercise
What is primary exercise dependence
Meets criteria for exercise dependence
exercises just to exercise
no associated eating disorder
What is secondary exercise dependence
Meet criteria for exercise dependence
Exercise is used to control body weight
Often present with eating disorder
Similarities of avoid and obligatory exercises compared to people with eating disorders
People with eating disorders report more mental health issues
The differences in body weight
Exercise dependence may be a part of an eating disorder but not necessarily
Physical activity and people with eating disorders
Most exercisers don’t develop an eating disorder
Starvation makes it harder for those to exercise
Similar exercise habits to those of normal weight
Athletes and eating disorders
Athletes report more eating disorder symptoms Weight class or aesthetic sports influence more athletes to have a eating disorder
Exercise and steroids
More common in athletes
35% of users don’t participate in sport
Can cause muscle dysomorphia
Health risks of physical activity
Musculoskeletal injuries
Cardiac events
Heart attacks and exercise
The exercise paradox
You are more likely to have a heart attack doing activity but increase your chances of that occurring by being sedentary
Describe the marathon driving study
Marathons have a higher risk of heart attack but by a marathon occurring less chances of car crashes occur
What is the purpose for physical activity guidelines
Provide bias for public health messaging
Foundation for future research
Provide a metric for evaluating population PA levels
What is the process for guideline development 3-6
3- development and research committee forms
4- consideration of other guidelines
5- literature review
6- interpret findings
What is the process for developing guidelines 7-15
7- identify research gaps 8- consensus and skateholder engagement 9:13- knowledge translation 14- evaluation 15- updates
What are challenges that occur when forming PA guidelines
Minimal bs optimal guidelines
Cultural interpretation
How to set the message
The demand for targets
What are current guidelines for 0-4 years
180 mins a week of PA
What are the current guidelines for 5-17
The 24 hour movement 60 mins per day of moderate to vigorous 3 days a week of bone strengthening 9-11 hours of sleep for 5-13 8-10 hours of sleep for 13-17 No more then 2 hours per day sedentary screen
What are the current guidelines for 18-64
150 mins of moderate to vigorous activity
2 days of strengthening
What are the current guidelines for 65+
150 mins of moderate to vigorous activity
2 days a week strengthening
What are the current guidelines for special populations
At least 20 mins of moderate to vigorous activity 2 times per week
Strength training 2 times per week
What changes occurred for adults PA guidelines
Now emphasizing the accumulation of 150 mins rather then emphasizing small bouts of activity
The most supported research supports moderate to vigorous activity
What are the trends of Canadians in the self report methods
PA has been increasing since 1980 and continues but 45% of Canadians are physically active
What contradicts the PA self report study
Although our PA was increasing so was obesity while strength and flexibility was decreasing
What was the Canadian health measures survey and what did they do
2832 Canadians aged 20-79 participated
Did a household survey
Mobile examination centre
Accelerometer for 1 week
What were the findings of the CHMS
15% of adults accumulate 150 mins of moderate to vigorous activity per week 17% of men 14% of women Normal weight= 30 mins per day Overweight= 23 mins per day Obese= 16 mins per day 9% of boys and 4% of girls (children)

What theory helps us understand different types of motivations
Self determination theory
External regulation
Behaviours are pursued solely for reward or to avoid punishment
Introjected regulation
Behaviours are pursued due to internalized pressure or to avoid guilt
Identified regulation
Behaviour is personally valuable though it may not be enjoyable
Integrated regulation
Though external motivation still occurs the behaviour is now accepted as valuable and congruent with ones personal value system
Intrinsic motivation
Motivation to learn new skills to accomplish and for pleasure
Why does the type of motivation matter
The more self determined form of motivation the higher the quality and have better influence on PA behaviour
How do you promote motivation
Autonomy - promoting a sense of ownership related to the behaviour
Competence - seek mastery experiences
Relatedness - facilitate positive connections between people related to the behaviour
The pleasure principal
Humans evolved to do what is pleasurable and to avoid what is not so we are unlikely to continue PA for the long term if it is unpleasurable
What can we do to make PA more enjoyable
Use music
social
Games
Etc
Is motivation enough
It is necessary but often not sufficient condition for physical activity adherence
What is the definition of self efficacy
An individuals beliefs in his or her capabilities to successfully carry out a course of action to meet particular task demands
What are two types of self efficacy
Task self efficacy
- confidence in engaging in a specific target PA ie) push ups
Self regulatory self efficacy
- confidence to engage in self management tasks to bring about an outcome ie) barriers scheduling
What are three consequences (outcomes) of self efficacy
Behaviour - choice effort persistence
Cognitions - satisfaction future goal setting
Affect - pride and shame
What are the 4 sources of self efficacy
Past performance
Vicarious experiences
Social persuasion
Physiological effective states
Self efficacy and past experiences
Best confidence boaster
Strongest source of self efficacy
Works best when events are similar
Self efficacy vicarious experiences
Imaging oneself succeeding
Self efficacy social persuasion
Verbal and non verbal tactics in attempt to increase self efficacy
Self efficacy affective states
Feedback from expectations and looking for enjoyable experiences
What is a goal
An aim or a purpose what a person seeks to accomplish
What are characteristics of the best type of goals
Process-oriented or outcome oriented - focus on slowly adding to goal Hierarchical - long term goals Realistic but challenging Specific
What is action planning
Specifying the details you will engage in
What is coping planning
How you will cope with potential barriers or obstacles that may get in the way of your goals
What does the research say about action and coping planning
They have a medium to strong effect on PA
Describe the study done by gaudreau and carraro
Planning is better to be done closer to the date so less can affect it
Action planning is related when level of goal conflict is low
Coping planning is related when level of goal conflict is high
What is self monitoring how can we self monitor
Analyzing your current behaviour and plan needed modifications
Activity logs, apps, activity monitors
What is the difference between lapse and re lapse
Lapse = a break
Re lapse = do over start from beginning
Define a correlate
An association
Not a strong connection
Define a determinant
A cause
A strong connection because the study proves it to be related
What areas has correlate and determinants been studied
Demographic (environmental) Psychosocial Behavioural Social factors (low income) In adults and children
What are the main areas of study for correlate and determinants as a whole
Intrapersonal
Interpersonal
Community
Public policy

Neither
Children walking ability correlate or determinant
Correlate
High income males young are they more or less active
More
What term has been created to refer to the shift in the nature of the relationship between physical activity and survival
The physical activity transition
Why study physical activity and it’s relationship with health and wellness
1) we were meant to move
2) our environment no longer supports our need for physical activity
3) leading causes of death/disease is influenced by our amount of PA
4) more then just our physical health is impacted by activity
Define physical activity
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in an increase in metabolic rate over resting energy expenditure
What are 3 types of physical activity
Leisure time (sport of exercise)
Transportation
Work
Define exercise
A form of PA that we repeatedly preform over a specific time for a reason it is intentional
Define sport
A form of PA that includes competition
Define physical fitness
People having necessary skills to preform a given task
What are the two types of physical fitness
Performance-related- athletic ability
Health- related- ability to perform everyday activities
What is the holistic definition of health and when was it created
1948
A state of complete physical mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Define wellness
Holistic concept describing a state of positive health in the individual comprising physical social and psychological well being
The relationship between physical activity and health is
1) PA and Health
• most basic if you do PA you increase your health
2) PA Health and fitness
• increasing fitness improves PA and health
3) the reciprocal
• healthier you are the more likely you will engage in PA
What study did dr Jeremy Morris conduct and what did he find
He examined the rate of coronary heart disease in bus drivers and postal workers in London
He found that men in more sedentary occupations (bus drivers) had higher mortality rates from CHD compared to postal workers
Define reliability
The degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results
Reliability is high when the instrument generates the same measurement each time
Define validity
The extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to measure
The bathroom scale reads 5 extra pounds it is constant so it is reliable but false weight so it’s not valid
Define practicability
Measuring something like Pa in epidemiological studies the method needs to be practical
Take time and cost into account
