    Study Notes

    Benefits of Physical Activity

    • Regular physical activity improves daily life and overall health.
    • Moderate levels of physical activity throughout the day can benefit individuals with a sedentary lifestyle.

    What is Physical Activity?

    • Physical activity (PA) is bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles.
    • It requires energy and provides positive health benefits.
    • PA can be light, moderate, or vigorous in intensity.

    Examples of Physical Activity

    • Light physical activity: walking, taking the stairs, grocery shopping, gardening, and household chores.
    • Exercise (structured physical activity): jogging, running, swimming, biking, aerobic activities, and strength training.

    Physical Inactivity

    • It is a level of activity that is lower than the recommended level for improving health.
    • Examples of physical inactivity: walking casually, performing self-care, or other light work that does not contribute to overall health.

    Achieving Health Benefits

    • Regular moderate physical activity provides significant health benefits, even if it's not strenuous.
    • Individuals who are already moderately active can achieve greater health benefits by increasing the intensity level to moderate to vigorous.

    Physical Inactivity and Its Consequences

    • 1.4 billion people are physically inactive, which is more than one in four adults globally.
    • Women are less active (23%) compared to men (32%).
    • High-income countries have a higher rate of physical inactivity (37%) compared to middle-income (26%) and low-income countries (16%).
    • Physical inactivity increases the risk of non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and mental health conditions.

    Impact of Physical Inactivity on Global Health

    • 15.2 million people die worldwide due to ischemic heart disease and stroke, which are the top 2 leading causes of death globally for the past 15 years.
    • In the Philippines, ischemic heart disease is the top cause of death, accounting for 14.5% of total deaths.
    • Other non-communicable diseases, such as cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertensive heart diseases, are also among the top 10 causes of death in the Philippines.

    Importance of Promoting Physical Activity

    • Regular physical activity is the main key to preventing and treating non-communicable diseases.
    • It is recommended that all countries prioritize programs to promote physical activity and establish an environment that supports it for individuals of all ages.
