2. 3 ways that regular Physical Activity (PA) and good fitness contributes to optimal health and wellness:
Decrease in _________ and prevention of _________ (hypokinetic: __________, low back pain, _______diabetes, and __________).
Alleviate __________ can aid in the rehab of illnesses, incl. diabetes, heart attack, and back pain.
Increase in quality of life and good health.

3. Sedentary Death Syndrome (SeDS)
Low bone density
High blood fat levels
Obesity
Low cardiovascular _________.
These are symptoms of hypokinetic diseases..

4. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Studies indicate increased risk of CHD for people who have __________ jobs. Adults who expend many calories/week in active sports and activities have a decreased risk of ________.
The American Heart Association elevated sedentary living to the status of ______________ for heart disease. The other primary risk factors are _______________, high cholesterol, ____________, and obesity.

5. ADAPTATIONS TO EXERCISE
Regular PA makes the heart _________ and able to contract more forcefully to pump more _______ with each ______. The result is ________ resting HR.
Normal RHR is ________ beats/minute.
Some endurance athletes have _________________

6. ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Deposits on ___________that decrease blood flow and __________ supplies to tissues.
This is the result of small damage to cells in the inner wall of the artery.
If a clot forms in a heart artery it can lead to heart pain or heart attack.

7. HEART ATTACK ________ that forms in a __________ artery.
This decreases the ___________to tissues

8. Benefits of Regular Exercise
Improves circulation to the _________________and __________________of heart attack or dying from one. The theory is that active people have healthier clearer arteries and possibly increased _________________. During a heart attack, the extra (collateral) vessels can help_____________blood.
Great rehabilitation for CHD or heart attack survivors, when carried out under the ______________ of a doctor.

9. Benefits of Regular Exercise
Associated with decreased risk of __________________ (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a risk factor for CHD. Cardio exercise can___________the blood pressure.
Helps increase blood flow to the ____________
Helps reduce the risk of ______________.

11. PA AND CANCER REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!!
The American Cancer Society guideline for the prevention of cancers- “the maintenance of body fat at good levels is one method of reducing risk. “
How does one maintain body fat levels?
REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!!

12. DIABETES Too much _______ in the __________.
The body cannot make __________ or is unable to use it properly.
Type 1 is less common. Type 2 is associated with high levels of body fat.
Exercise can __________________and improve the body’s ability to use/remove sugar from the blood. This combined with sound nutrition is useful in the ______________ of diabetes.

13. OSTEOPOROSIS
Weight bearing exercise and __________ ___________ work to build bone integrity.

14. LOW BACK PAIN
80% of adults will experience LOW BACK PAIN that limits normal ______________.
Generally this type of injury is related to ____________ and lack of ___________ in key muscle groups.
Exercise can balance things out if one plans an appropriate program.

15. EMOTIONAL HEALTH
PA has been used to decrease __________ and is often coupled with therapy.
PA can reduce the symptoms of ________.
Exercise brings on better __________.
_______________ can be raised through regulation of behavior and performance of new tasks.

16. AGING
Inactive senior citizens have more trouble with ____________, falls, and independent functioning.
PA can also increase ___________________.

17. HYPOKINETIC RISK FACTORS
Lack of ___________
Poor ___________
Smoking
______________management
Heredity
Age
___________

18. Chapter 8 APF
CV fitness is extremely important to good health and optimal physical performance.

19. CV fitness requires fitness of several body systems
Fit heart muscle
Fit vascular (veins/arteries) system
Fit respiratory system
Fit blood
Fit muscle tissue capable of using oxygen

21. WOW!!!
Moving from low fitness to good fitness levels decreases the risk of hypokinetic disease and death!

22. FIT Principle for Cardio
F: CV fitness can be developed in as few as 3-6 days per week. Lifestyle activity is less intense= more days/more time. CV activity is more intense= fewer days/fewer minutes.
I: Heart Rate Reserve and RPE (appropriate values)
T: To build CV fitness, duration should be minutes.

23. Heart Rate Terminology
Maximum HR: The highest HR attained in ___________exercise. Usually it is determined through a maximal test using an EKG and performed to ______________. Most of us can estimate this. NEW FORMULA: (age).
HRR: percentage of __________________: Subtract the resting HR from the Max HR. To get a resting pulse, sit or lay down. This should be counted for a full minute and preferably done __________ in the morning.
Threshold of Training: Minimum HR for achieving ________________of exercise. Calculated by finding 40% of HRR and then adding it to the RHR.
Upper Limit HR: Multiply HRR by ____% and then add in the RHR.

24. Max HR Calculation Max HR= 208 - (.7 X age) Example for “Client B”:
.7 * 42 = 29.4
= 179
179 is the maximum HR for Client B

25. Threshold and THR calculation
Max HR-RHR= Heart Rate Reserve
Example: 179 – 42 =137(HRR)
HRR * .40(40%)= answer + RHR= Threshold
Example: 137 * .40= = 96.8
HRR * .85(85%)= answer + RHR=Upper limit
Example: 137 * .85= =158.45
The target zone begins at 97 and extends to 158

26. RPE: Rating of Perceived Exertion
Pay attention to your body to ______________ how hard (intense) your workout is. This can only be done by those people who are experienced in working out.
The chart begins at 6 (60 BPM) and ends at 20 (200 BPM)
12 represents threshold HR and 16 tends to be the upper limit of the target zone

27. Heart Rate
Measuring HR: Use _________ (neck) or _________ (wrist) pulse. Gently press with two fingers (NOT thumb) on the ________.
Pulse is expressed as __________________(BPM). Take a 6 second count and add a 0, or take a 15 second count and multiply by 4.
