Module 2 Flashcards
physical activity
any body movement produced by skeletal muscle that results in a substantial increase over resting energy expenditure
difference between PA and leisure time PA
Leisure time PA must involve a choice
exercise
Planned, structured and repetitive PA designed to improve or maintain at least one component of physical fitness (health and/or skill)
Leisure time physical activity
activity done in free time that leads to a substantial increase in total daily energy expenditure
*must involve personal choice
physical fitness
characteristics that people have are health related or skill related
-relates to peoples abilities to perform physical tasks efficiently in a particular sport or day to day activities
health related physical fitness
+ 5 components
associated with disease prevention and functional health (“Can I perform my activities of daily living?”)

4. flexibility
5. body composition
Skill (performance)-related Physical Fitness

1. coordination
2. speed
3. agility
4. balance
5. reaction time
which component of fitness should we target to promote physical activity in Canadian society?
Target is to improve health of society (through physical activity): health-related
greater societal benefits when more people are physically active
Physical Activity Recommendations in Canada
-most recent CSEP 24-hour movement guidelines: An integration of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep
3 core recommendations
move more - including moderate to vigorous physical activity; but for the first time the guidelines call out that light physical activity, including standing matters too.
-reduce sedentary time
-sleep well
Adults 18-64 years
-Healthy 24 hours: At least 150 min/week of moderate to vigorous intensity (more is better)
-several hours of light intensity activity, including standing
-muscle strengthening activities using major muscle groups 2+ days a week
-Sleep 7-9 hours with regular bed and wake-up times
-Sedentary time: less than 8 hrs a day with no more than 3 hrs of screen time, break up long period of sitting as often as possible
meeting all recommendations = not sedentary ??
No. You can be meeting all the requirements and still be classified as sedentary
Older Adults 65+ years
-Healthy 24 hours: At least 150 min/week of moderate to vigorous intensity (more is better)
-Physical activities that challenge balance (the difference between older and younger adults) to prevent falling which prevents breaking bones (hips)
-several hours of light intensity activity, including standing
-muscle strengthening activities using major muscle groups 2+ days a week
-sleep: 7-8 hours, with regular bed and wake times
-Sedentary time: less than 8 hrs a day with no more than 3 hrs of screen time, break up long period of sitting as often as possible
Children and Youth (5-17 years)
-Healthy 24 hours: accumulate 60+ minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity activity daily (more is better) include range of aerobic activities
-Vigorous activity and muscle strengthening activities at least 3 days/week
-Several hours of structure and unstructured light physical activity each day
-Sleep: 9-11 hrs (5-13 yrs) ad 8-10 hrs (14-17 yrs) with regular bed and wake times
-sedentary time no more than 2 hours of recreational screen time/day with limited sitting for extended periods of time

sedentary time: not being restrained for more than 1 hour/day
no more than 1 hour of screen time
the physical, phsycological and social health benefits of physical activity are _______

-lack of time - cold winters -SPA (social physique anxiety)
