Health
the state of complete physical, mental, social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Factors Affecting Health and Disease
Major Risk Factor Categories
Inherited/Biological
Environmental
Behavioral
Inherited/Biological Factors Affecting Health and Disease
Age
Gender/Sex
Race
Genetic susceptibility to disease (Genetics)
Positive health
Associated with capacity to enjoy life and withstand challenges
Negative Health
Associated with morbidity (incidence of disease) and premature mortality
USA five leading causes of death
Heart Disease Cancer Lower respiratory disease (e.g COPD) Stroke Accidents
Environmental Factors Affecting Health and Disease
Physical
Socioeconomic
Family
Behavioral Factors Affecting Health and Disease
Smoking Inactivity/poor Nutrition Drinking Alcohol Overuse of medications Fast Driving / no seat belt Pressure to succeed (stress)
Physical Activity
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle that results in energy expenditure. It is associated with occupation, leisure time, household chores, and sport
Exercise
A subset of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive and has the objective of improving or maintaining physical fitness
Physical Fitness
A set of health or skill-related attributes that can be measured by specific tests
Health Related Fitness
muscular strength and endurance, CRF, flexibility, and body composition (relative leanness)
Skill-Related / Performance-Related fitness
Agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, and reaction time that are linked to games, sport, dance and other activities
Absolute Intensity
Describes the rate of work (i.e. how much energy is expended per minute) and can be expressed by:
Kilocalories of energy produced / min (kcal/min)
Milliliters of oxygen consumed per kg of body weight per minute (mL O2/kg/min)
Metabolic Equivalents (METS) where 1 MET is taken at RMR and is equal to 3.5 mL/kg/min and exercise intensity is given as a multiple of MET (e.g. 3 METS, 6 METS)
Relative Intensity
Describes the degree of effort requried to expend energy and is influced by CRF or maximal aerobic power.
A person with a CRF of 10 METS who is working at 6 METS is at a relative intensity of 60% VO2 max (6/10x100= 60%)
Moderate Intensity
An absolute intensity of 3 TO 5.9 METS and a relative intensity of 40-59% VO2max
Vigorous Intensity
An absolute intensity of 6 OR MORE METS and a relative intensity of 60 TO 84% VO2max
Tends to produce better results for reducing risk factors in most individuals
Improves BG, yields higher CRF values than moderate exercise
Not considered safe/appropriate for all clients
Frequency
Refers to the number of days per week physical activity is done
Duration
Refers to the amount of time (minutes, hours)a physical activity is done)
