2. Online Learning Center • Hypokinetic Diseases • Risk Factors • Cardiovascular disease (CVD) • Health/Wellness Benefits of PA • PA & Aging • Hyperkinetic Conditions Presentation Overview Discussion Activity

3. Aid in disease/illness prevention • Significant contributors to disease/illness treatment • Methods of health/wellness promotion How can PA and good fitness contribute to optimal health/wellness?

4. What physical activity can do for health • Reduces risks of many chronic diseases • Promotes weight control • Slows premature aging • Improves quality of life • …many more! Physical Activity & Health Physical activity is not a panacea for all medical conditions, but it is probably the single best thing individuals can do for their health.

5. Cardiovascular disease • CHD #1 cause of death • Stroke #3 • Cancer (#2) • Back problems • Obesity • Diabetes • Osteoporosis • Mental health What is SeDS? Hypokinetic Conditions

6. Age • Heredity • Gender Factors thatCANNOT be Altered

7. Physical activity • Diet • Stress • Tobacco use • Body (fatness) • Blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure • Reducing your risk of diseases Factors that CAN be Altered

8. Lab 4ainformation • Coronary heart disease (CHD) • #1 cause of death • Stroke • #3 cause of death Cardiovascular Disease

9. Smoking • Hypertension • Hypercholesterolemia • Physical inactivity • Overweight / overfat Modifiable Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease

10. Produces a strong heart muscle • Promotes good collateral circulation PA & the Healthy Heart

11. Lowers blood lipid levels • Increases HDL cholesterol(“good”) • Reduces fibrin deposits (blood coagulation) PA & Atherosclerosis

12. Activity Reduces Coronary Heart Disease Risk It takes only a moderateamount of physical activity to reduce health risks of CHD. CHDRISK Level of Physical Activity

13. Reduced risk of high blood pressure (hypertension) • Reduced the risk of stroke • Prevention of peripheral vascular disease • Reduction in CVD deaths • Associated with metabolic syndrome PA & Other Cardiovascular Diseases

14. Opposite of metabolic fitness (as discussed in Concept 1) • ≥3 of the following: • BP >130/85 • Fasting blood sugar level of ≥100 • Blood triglycerides of ≥150 • Low blood HDL level (<40 for men and <50 women) • High abdominal circumference(≥40” for men or 35” for women) Metabolic Syndrome(Syndrome X)

15. Physical Activity & Other Hypokinetic Conditions Cancer Diabetes Musculoskeletal Problems Obesity Emotional Health Immune System Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia

16. #2 cause of death • Various types of cancer • Causes still largely unknown Cancer

17. Reduced transit time • Decreased risk of colo-rectal cancer • Reduced levels of hormones • Decreased risk of breast cancer and some reproductive cancers • Improved immune system • Reduced levels of body fat Activity Reduces the Risk of Some Cancers

18. 80% of the population will experience back pain at some point in their life • Back problems are a major cause of inactivity in adults Back Problems

19. Activity Reduces Risk of Back Pain • Improves flexibility of joints and ligaments • Improves musculoskeletal strength and endurance

20. Over half of the population in the United States is considered to be overweight • Obesity increases the risk of many other diseases Obesity

21. Burns calories • Increases rate of metabolism • Promotes fat loss and preserves muscle Activity Promotes Weight Control

22. Type I (juvenile onset) • Pancreas fails to produce insulin • Type 2 (adult onset) • Lack of sensitivity to insulin • Often caused by obesity Diabetes Mellitus (DM)

23. Type 1 • Reduces disease risk • Increases quality of life • Type 2 • Decreased insulin requirement • Reduced fatness Activity Reduces Risks of Diabetes

24. Progressive loss of bone mineral density • Occurs commonly in old age • Occurs at an earlier age and more frequently in women than men • Factors associated with osteoporosis • Loss of sex hormones • Low calcium levels • Physical inactivity • High protein intake • Smoking • Caffeine Osteoporosis

25. Increases peak bone mass • Slows decline in bone mass Physical Activity Reduces Risk of Osteoporosis

26. Reduced depression • Reduced anxiety • Improved sleep(greater ability to relax) • Increased self-esteem Physical Activity Improves Emotional Health

27. PA & Immune Function

28. Factors relating to heart health also contribute to brain health. • Studies indicate that PA and challenging mental activities are especially important among the lifestyle factors involved in maintaining brain health and preventing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. PA & Alzheimer's Disease

29. Slows aging • Acquired aging (related to lifestyle) • Compression of morbidity • Time-dependent aging cannot be altered Physical Activity & Aging

30. Activity Aging Cycle Decrease Physical Activity Physical Gain Weight Deterioration Lose Energy Perceive Self As Old

31. Good physical fitness: • helps you enjoy leisure • helps you work more effectively and efficiently • keeps body functioning effectively • is the basis for dynamic and creative activity • can help you function safely and meet emergencies • PA – major part of most employee health promotion programs Physical Activity & Wellness

32. Overuse injuries • Muscles • Connective tissue • Bones • Anorexia nervosa • Body neurosis Hyperkinetic Conditions

33. Exercise is Medicine (EIM) PA as “medicine”

34. Regular physical activity and good fitness can promote good health, help prevent disease, and be a part of disease treatment and health promotion. • Too many adults suffer from hypokinetic diseases. • Many factors are under your control (lifestyles). Summary End of presentation
