Q

importance for individuals completing pa

A
  • Physical benefits: improved cardiovascular function (increased fitness, stamina and energy), improved strength and endurance (regular exercise = increased strength and endurance of muscles), resistance to fatigue (increased energy levels = enough energy to get through a typical day)
  • health benefits: greater lean body mass and less fat (high level of pa = increase in lean body mass), improved flexibility (allows you to perform a wide range of movements with a lower risk of muscular and joint injuries), bone development ( weight-bearing and high-impact activities = essential to maintain strong bones)
  • social benefits: interacting with others increases a persons connectedness within a team, increase enjoyment of pa, improve self-concept, improve quality of life and sense of belonging.
  • mental health: active people = greater self-esteem and lower levels of anxiety, improve brain function
  • emotional health: feel emotionally secure, relaxed and able to cope with the demands of everyday living, enhanced emotional wellness.
  • biochemical & physiological mechanisms: increase in endorphins, enhanced blood flow to brain, improved sleep.
  • psychological & emotional mechanisms: distraction/time out from stressful contexts and negative thoughts, enhanced feelings of control and mastery, behavioural activation,

Q

what are the steps of a personal pa and fitness plan?

A
  • step 1: setting goals = follows ‘SMARTER’ acronym - Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic, Time phased, Exciting and Recorded
  • step 2: establishing your baseline physical activity levels - monitor progress to show improvement, establish a ‘baseline’ - starting point, e.g. blood pressure, daily steps
  • step 3: identifying opportunities to be active - choose appropriate activities to engage in, brainstorm strategies to minimise your sitting time
  • step 4: monitoring your progress - always use the same technique for measuring activity level, e.g. self report, fitness testing
  • step 5: comparing with the baseline data - compare the baseline levels, if activity increased - this is new baseline for future.
