describes many of the
diseases and conditions associated with inactivity and poor fitness
Hypokinetic
First originated in the book ____
Hypokinetic Disease
Hypokinetic Disease Includes:
- Obesity
- High Blood Pressure
- High cholesterole
- Osteoporosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Lower Back Pain
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Physically active people have __-__% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
33-50%
inactive people have a high risk of __% in developing type 2 diabetes.
64
inactive
people have a high risk of 64% in developing ________.
Type 2 diabetes
Programs can help reduce the risk of
falling, and therefore fractures, among older people
Physical Activity
Effective in the treatment of clinical
depression and can be as successful as psychotherapy or medication,
particularly in the longest term.
Physical Activity
Associated with a reduction in overall
risk of cancer. Active people have 40-
50% lower risk. Women with higher
level of physical activity have about
30% lower risk of breast cancer.
Physical Activity
Major independent protective factor against coronary heart disease in men and women. Inactive people have almostdouble risk of dying from coronary heart disease.
Reduces the risk of store and provides effective treatment of peripheral
vascular disease.
Physical Activity
Low to moderate in intensity
using slow twitch muscle
fibers, these primarily utilize
energy created from aerobic
energy system,
Aerobic/Cardiovascular
Examples: cycling, swimming
and running
Aerobic/Cardiovascular
improves the efficiency of
oxygen transfer between the
heat and lungs
Cardiovascular exercises
the maximum
capacity of an individual’s body
to transport and use oxygen
during exercise.
VO2 max
Absolute values of VO2 max
are typically ____% higher in
men than women
40-60%
Form of strength training to a
moderate to high intensity
using fast twitch muscle fibers
to apply effort or force to
overcome a specific load
Anaerobic/Resistance
movements in
which contracting muscles
stay the same length whilst
applying a force. (plank)
Isometric
causes muscle
to shorten as they contract
under tension to apply
(upward phase of a bicep
curl)
Concentric
opposite to
concentric contractions,
muscle lengthen under
tension to apply a force.
Eccentric
Long Term Benefits of Resistance Training to the Body:
• Increased bone density
• Increased resting metabolic rate
• Decreased body fat percentage
• Increased creatine phosphate and adenosine
triphosphate stores
• Decreased blood pressure
• Decreased blood cholesterol markers
• Muscular hypertrophy
• Improved posture
• Improved core stability
• Decreased risk of injury
• Increased range of movement
• Improved power
• Improved strength
• Increase in number and size of mitochondria
• Improved motor unit firing and ability to recruit
motor units
