BUT… Even moderate amounts of exercise can have measurable benefits for high-risk (i.e. obese) youth Scientific recommendations: 60+ min. of daily moderate physical activity Aerobic (e.g., running, cycling) activities should make up the majority of your exercise Anaerobic activities (e.g., bone & muscle strengthening such as weight lifting) should be incorporated at least 3 x per week Sources: Janssen & Leblanc 2010 Strong et al. 2005

HOW CAN WE MEASURE FITNESS? The body gives us feedback …it responds to exercise in a characteristic, measurable way! We can use our own body’s data to help us develop individualized training programs! We call the body’s basic, measurable functions… VITAL SIGNS! What are 4 routinely monitored vital signs? Body Temperature Pulse RateRespiration Rate *Blood pressure *Blood pressure is not considered a vital sign, but is often measured along with the vital signs

TODAY’S ACTIVITY: BREAK A SWEAT! We’ll focus on 2 of these vital signs … You’ll learn to measure your own and a partner’s …and see how these vital signs respond to different durations and intensities of whatever exercise you’d like to test! Pulse RateRespiration Rate Get Creative!
