What are the 4 key areas that The Pan-Canadian Public Health Network (PNH) are using to tackle obesity?

A
  1. Healthy weights- understand the overall impact of obesity on Canadian children
  2. Physical activity- work toward a coordinated effortto increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour
  3. Healthy eating- look at ways to increase the availability of nutritious foods and decrease the marketing of foods that are unhealthy to children
  4. Supportive environment- make social and physcal environments where children live, learn, and play more supportive of physical activity and healthy eating

41
Q

Muscular Endurance

A

is the ability to resist fatigue and sustain a given level of muscle tension–that is, to hold a muscle contraction for a long period of time or to contract a muscle over and over again

42
Q

Flexibility

A

is the ability to move the joints through their full range of motion

43
Q

Body Composition

A

refers to the proportion of fat and fat-free mass (muscle, bone and water) in the body

44
Q

What are the Principles of Physical Training?

A

*specificity
*Progressive overload
*Reversibility
*Individual Differences

45
Q

Specificity

A

*You must perform exercises designed specifically for that component
*Weight training develops muscular strength but is less effective for developing cardiorespiratory endurance or flexibility
*also refers to skill related components (in order to get good at tennis, you must practice tennis)

46
Q

Progressive Overload

A

*When the body is stressed by a greater-than-normal amount or intensity of exercise, the body adapts and improves fitness. The amount of new activity added above a person’s usual, is called overload
*When this stress is increased progressively, fitness continues to improve.
*Too little (will have no effect) or too much (may cause injury and problems) can be a dangerous route, so the amount of overload is important

47
Q

How do you find the proper amount of overload to maintain or improve fitness?

A

Using the 5 dimensions, represented in the FITT-VP acronym:
Frequency–how often
Intensity–how hard
Time–how long (duration)
Type–mode of activity
Volume–how much (frequency x intensity x time)
Progression–how a program advances over time

48
Q

Reversibility

A

*Fitness is a reversible adaptation. The body adjusts to lower levels of physical activity in the same way it readjusts to higher levels
*When a person stops exercising, some fitness improvements are lost in as little as 2 weeks
*strength fitness is resilient (can be maintained by doing it once a week) while cardio can be lost in a couple days or weeks

49
Q

Individual Differences

A

*from a physical standpoint we are not created equal
*There are differences in our ability to improve fitness, achieve a desirable body composition, and learn and perform sports skills
*There are limits on adaptation–the potential for improvement–of any human body (such as the bodies ability to transport oxygen can only be improved by about 5-25% through endurance training)

50
Q

Designing Your Own Program Steps

A

-Getting Medical clearance
-Assessing yourself
-Setting goals
-Choosing activities for a balanced program

51
Q

What does it mean to train the way you want your body to change?

A

In order to get the success you want you need to train the specific components that are going to give you this success.

To have a more muscular build, you need to lift weights

to be more flexible, do stretching

52
Q

Cardiorespiratory System

A

The system that circulates blood through the body; consists of the heart, blood vessels and respiratory system

53
Q

What are the benefits of Cardiorespiratory endurance?

A

-Improved cardiorespiratory functioning
-improved cellular metabolism
-reduced risk of chronic disease
-better control of body fat
-improved immune function
-improved psychological and emotional well being

54
Q

What are the assessment tests for cardiorespiratory fitness?

A

-the 1.6 km walk test
-the 3 minute step test
-the 2.4 km run/walk test
-the beep test
-12 minute swim test

55
Q

FITT-VP Equation for Cardiorespiratory Endurance

A

Frequency— accumulating at least 150 mins per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity is enough to promote health. experts recommend exercising 3-5 days per week to build cardiorespiratory endurance.

Intensity—Intensity is the most important factor for increasing aerobic fitness. You must exercise intensely enough to stress your body so that fitness improves. This involved our target heart rate and heart rate reserve. Talk test and Ratings of perceived exertion.

Time—a total of 30-60 mins of exercise is recommended, taking place in a single session or in multiple sessions last 10 mins or more. To improve cardio endurance during a low to moderate intensity activity you should exercise 45-60 mins but for high intensity a duration of 20 mins is good

Type—cardio endurance exercises include activities that involve the rhythmic use of large muscles groups for extended periods of time. (jogging, walking, cycling, aerobic dancing, cross country skiing and swimming)

Volume—is the product if frequency, intensity and time increasing volume is the best way to increase fitness. Exercise volume for cardio can be estimated using different measures, equivalent to:
*duration- 150 mins per week if moderate intensity activity
*Calories- 1000 calories per week in moderate exercise
*MET minutes—500-1000 MET mins per week
*Steps—5400-7900 steps or more per day

Progression—depends on your goals, fitness, health, age and adaptation. Most benefits occur at moderate training for 150 mins per week but some may need higher levels of fitness. Increasing time and frequency can promote healthy body composition

56
Q

General Program Progression

A

Begin with a frequency of 3-4 days per week, trying to go for 30-40 mins. Once you have reached this without excessive fatigue or muscle soreness you are ready to progress. Then slowly and gradually increase the amount of overload over the next 4-6 months. increasing in increments of 5-10 mins every 2-3 weeks.

57
Q

Interval Training

A

The 4 components of interval training are:
*distance—the distance or the time of the exercise interval
*repetition—the number of times the exercise is repeated
*intensity—the speed at which the exercise is performed
*rest—the time spent recovering between exercises

runner might do 4-8 reps of 200 m sprints

58
Q

Cross training

A

alternating 2 or more activities to improve a single component of fitness

59
Q

Warming up and cooling down

A

warm up should include low intensity, whole body movements similar to those in the activity that will follow. an active warm up of 5-10 mins is adequate (however depends on level of fitness)

cool down helps maintain blood flow to the heart and brain and redirect blood from working muscles to other areas. consists of 5-10 mins of reduced activity to allow heart rate, breathing and circulation to return to normal

60
Q

What does RICE stand for?

A

Rest—stop using the injured area
Ice—apply ice immediately and then every few hours to reduce swelling
Compression—wrap firmly with bandage between icings
Elevation—raise the injured area above heart level

61
Q

muscular strength

A

*usually assessed by measuring the maximum amount of weight a person can lift in a single effort
*called a repetition maximum (RM)

62
Q

Benefits of strength training (metabolic and heart health):

A

improved glucose metabolism
increasing maximal oxygen consumption
reducing blood pressure
improving blood vessel health
increasing HDL cholesterol
reducing LDL cholesterol (in some people)

63
Q

Static Exercise

A

causes a muscle contraction without changing the length of the muscle or the angle in the joint in which the muscle acts

64
Q

dynamic exercise

A

muscle contraction with a change in the length of the muscle involved
Isokinetic

65
Q

Benefits of muscular strength and endurance:

A

-improved performance of physical activities
-injury prevention
-improved body composition
-enhanced self image and quality of life
-improved muscle and bone health with aging
-increased longevity

66
Q

Muscular endurance

A

usually assessed by counting the maximum number of reps of an exercise a person can do or the maximum amount of time a person can hold a muscular contraction

67
Q

FITT-VP for muscular strength and endurance

A

Frequency—health Canada recommend weight training at least 2 nonconsecutive days per week. allow your muscles at least 1 day of rest between. Split routines (different muscle groups on alternate days).

Intensity—choose weights based on current level of fitness. To build strength, lift weights as heavy as 80% of your max RM. for endurance choose a lighter weight (40-60% of RM) and do more reps

Time—To improve you must do enough reps of each exercise to fatigue your muscles. Depends on resistance. Heavier weight means a lower number of reps. For a general fitness program to build strength and endurance try to do about 8-12 reps.

Type—For overall fitness you need to include exercises for all parts of the body.

Volume—for weight training, the volume of a specific exercise during a workout would be the amount of weight lifted multiplied by the number of repetitions and sets.

Progression—Training intensity is the most important for improvements in strength and power. you will progress rapidly when you begin training but progress slows as you become more fit. after you hit your goal, maintain by training 1-3x per week

the body’s relative amount of fat and fat free mass, is an important component of fitness for health and wellness

93
Q

why is body composition important?

A

-the human body can be divided into fat free mass and body fat
-body fat is incorporated into the nerves, brain, heart, lungs, liver, mammary glands and other body organs

-a certain amount of body fat is necessary for the body to function

essential fat makes up 3-5% of total body weight in men and 8-12% in women

excess stored body fat is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease

94
Q

A

body weight above the recommended range for good health; sometimes defined as a body mass index between 25 and 29.9

95
Q

obesity

96
Q

excess body fat and wellness (effects on the wellness of our body’s)

A

-increases risk of diabetes
-increased risk of metabolic syndrome and premature death
-affects body fat distribution (where the body stores the excess fat, can be bad for health if stored more in abdomen)
-affects performance of physical activities
-affects emotional wellness and self image

97
Q

How do you calculate BMI?

A

BMI is calculated by dividing your body weight (in kilograms) by the square of you height (in metres).

examples:
6’1 = 1.85 m
171 lbs = 77.7 kg
1.85 m x 1.85 m = 3.70 m2
77.7 kg / 3.70 m2 = BMI 21 kg/m2

98
Q

What’s a normal BMI?

A

between 18.5 and 24.9

99
Q

Ways to estimate percent of body fat for body composition

A

-underwater weighing
-the bod pod
-skinfold measurements
-bio electrical impedance analysis (BIA)
-advanced techniques (DEXA and TOBEC)

100
Q

Somatotypes

A

Endomorph: are round and pear shaped. they gain weight easily and will typically regain weight rapidly if they resume to sedentary life.

Mesomorphs: lean and muscular and respond well to exercise. They have wedge shaped bodies, broad shoulders, narrow hips and little body fat. gain fitness easily and are good a physical activity

Ectomorphs: thin and linear, with narrow hips and shoulders. typically have little muscle or fat. little frame is good for distance running and gymnastics
