Study Notes

Physical Activity Guidelines

20% of adults in the US meet current physical activity guidelines.
55% of adults in the US spend most of their day seated.

Exercise Prescription

A personalized exercise plan tailored to an individual's fitness level and therapeutic goals.

Categories of Physical Activity

Four main categories: leisure time, household, occupational, transportation.

Definition and Importance of Physical Fitness

Represents attributes related to the ability to perform physical activities effectively.

Human Movement Paradigm

Encompasses all movement types, including exercise and minimizing sedentary time.

Benefits of Physical Activity

Enhances cardiovascular and respiratory function.
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions.
Decreases morbidity and mortality rates.
Improves psychological and cognitive performance, vital for older adults.

Chronic Condition Prevention

Regular physical activity helps prevent prevalent chronic conditions like CVD, diabetes, cancer, and obesity.

Functional Fitness

Improved through habitual movement, allowing individuals to perform tasks with enhanced productivity and well-being.

Cognitive Fitness

Refers to the optimized ability to reason, remember, learn, plan, and adapt.

Physical Activity in Children

Inactivity is linked to poorer academic performance and lower neuropsychological test results.

Role of Resistance Training

Supplementing aerobic exercise with resistance training boosts cognitive adaptations in older adults.

Sleep and Functioning

Poor sleep quality negatively impacts physical, cognitive, and psychological functioning, particularly in middle-aged and older adults.

Lifestyle Recommendations

Maintaining optimal physical activity while limiting sedentary behavior reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality.

FITT Principle

Acronym for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type, guiding exercise planning.

FITTVP Principle

Adds Volume and Progression to the FITT framework, emphasizing exercise frequency and progression towards goals.

Resistance Exercises Frequency

Adults should engage in resistance exercises for major muscle groups 2-3 days per week.

Flexibility Training

Should occur at least 2 days per week, targeting major muscle tendon groups to maintain flexibility.

CDC and ACSM Recommendations (1995)

Suggests accumulating 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days of the week.

Physical Activity Recommendations for Adults (18-65)

Engage in either 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity 5 days a week or 20 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity 3 days a week.
Encourage a combination of both activity intensities and allow for accumulated bouts of at least 10 minutes.
