Physical Activity and Chronic Disease Flashcards
What is the 2020 Goal?
> 47.9% participation in daily activity
How many individuals meet the aerobic or strength guidelines but not both?
50%
How many individuals meet the aerobic and strength guidelines?
20%
What is the minimum physical activity guidelines for individuals ages 18-65?
150 minutes/week of moderate intensity respiratory exercise and 2 days/week of bone and muscular condition
How long must bouts be to count towards minimum requirement guidelines?
10 minute bouts
Physical Activity
Any bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that results in a substantial increase in caloric requirements over resting energy expenditure (walking 4mph is low end)
Exercise
A type of physical activity consisting of planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement done to improve and/or maintain one or more components of physical fitness
What are the 5 components of physical fitness?
Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardiorespiratory Endurance, Body Composition, Flexibility
Physical Fitness
A set of attributes or characteristics that individuals have or achieve that relates to their ability to perform physical activity
Why is it important to focus on aerobic capacity improvement?
An increase in aerobic capacity causes an increase in VO2 max
What changes as we age?
Max Aerobic Capacity decreases (peak at mid-late 20’s because physical activity maturation) (Anaerobic peaks earlier) Lean body tissue also decreases (Rapid decrease between 50 and 60’s)
Because maximal aerobic capacity usually declines with age…
Exercise professional should understand that when older and younger individuals work at the same MET level; Relative exercise intensity (%VO2max) will usually be different
Older individuals will be working at…
Greater relative % of VO2max
VO2 (%) and HRR (%) Relative Intensity Values
Very Light: <20, Light: 20-<40, Moderate: 40-<60, Vigorous (hard): 60-<85, Vigorous (very hard): 85-<100, Maximal: 100
Maximal HR (%)
Very Light: <50, Light: 50-<64, Moderate: 64-<77, Vigorous (hard): 77-<94, Vigorous (very hard): 94-<100, Maximal:100
New ACSM-AHA Recommendations
All healthy adults aged 18-65 yr need Moderate intensity aerobic physical activity for minimum of 30 min 5 d/wk, or Vigorous activity for a minimum of 20 min 3 d/wk (Combinations of Moderate & vigorous intensity exercise can be performed to meet this recommendation)
Moderate intensity aerobic activity can be accumulated toward the 30 min minimum by…
Performing bouts each lasting 10 or more min
Every adult should perform activities that…
Maintain or increase muscular strength & endurance a minimum of 2 d/wk
Because of the dose-response relation btw physical activity and health…
Persons who wish to further improve their personal fitness, reduce their risk for chronic diseases and disabilities, or prevent unhealthy weight gain (May benefit by exceeding the minimum recommended amounts of physical activity)
Dose- response relationship for additional health benefits and weight loss
Moderate Intensity for 300 min/week, Vigorous Intensity for 150 min/week
Global Physical Inactivity Prevalence
It is the fourth leading cause of global mortality; 31% of adults worldwide are physically inactive; Majority of North American and United Kingdom adults do not meet physical activity guidelines.
HEALTH-RELATED PHYSICAL FITNESS COMPONENTS
Cardiorespiratory endurance, Body composition, Muscular strength, Muscular endurance, Flexibility
Cardiorespiratory endurance
The ability of the circulatory and respiratory system to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity.
Body composition
The relative amounts of muscle, fat, bone, and other vital parts of the body.
Muscular strength
The ability of muscle to exert force.
Muscular endurance
The ability of muscle to continue to perform without fatigue.
Flexibility
The range of motion available at a joint.
SKILL-RELATED PHYSICAL FITNESS COMPONENTS
Agility, Coordination, Balance, Power, Reaction time, Speed:
Agility
The ability to change the position of the body in space with speed and accuracy.
Coordination
The ability to use the senses, such as sight and hearing, together with body parts in performing tasks smoothly and accurately.
Balance
The maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving
Power
The ability or rate at which one can perform work.
Reaction Time
The time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning of the reaction to it.
Speed
The ability to perform a movement within a short period of time.
Low fitness accounts for more deaths than
Obesity, Smoking,
High Cholesterol, Diabetes, and
Hypertension. (Physical inactivity may be the greatest public health threat of our time)
Cardiovascular Diseases
Coronary Heart Disease, Cardiomyopathy, Hypercholesterolemia, Congestive Heart Failure, Hypertension, Atherosclerosis
Musculoskeletal Disorders
Low Back Pain, Osteoarthritis, Bone Fractures and connective tissue tears, Osteoporosis
Psychological Disorders
Depression, Mood, Anxiety
