    Study Notes

    Aerobics

    • Aerobics, meaning "in the presence of oxygen," is moderate-intensity physical activity, improving heart and lung function
    • Improves oxygen use by the body, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, and boosts blood flow.

    Cardiovascular Risk Factors

    • Factors increasing cardiovascular disease risk, classified as controllable or uncontrollable
    • Uncontrollable factors include family history, age, and gender
    • Controllable factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, obesity, diabetes, stressful living, smoking, drinking alcohol, and illegal drug use.

    High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

    • Increases heart workload, potentially thickening and stiffening heart muscles
    • Increases risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and congestive heart failure

    High Cholesterol

    • High cholesterol levels contribute to coronary heart disease, affected by age, sex, heredity, and diet
    • Regular cardiovascular exercise reduces risk of cardiovascular disease

    Physical Inactivity

    • Lack of exercise weakens muscles, increasing cardiovascular disease risk.

    Obesity

    • Excess body fat, particularly visceral fat, increases heart disease and stroke risk, even without other risk factors.

    Diabetes

    • High blood sugar damages blood vessels, increasing heart disease and stroke risk, even with controlled glucose levels.
