    Physical Fitness Definition

    • Physical fitness is the ability to perform muscular work satisfactorily.
    • It's a quality of well-being affected by physical activity.

    Components of Physical Fitness

    • Body composition
    • Musculoskeletal fitness
    • Cardiovascular fitness
    • Components of fitness that allow for daily living activities
    • Components of fitness for optimal work or sport performance

    Health Definition

    • State of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease (World Health Organization)
    • Healthy living involves a connection between body, mind, and spirit.

    Time Management

    • Time management involves allocating time and energy efficiently towards goals.
    • Key components include goal setting, planning, balance, and stress reduction rather than being overly scheduled.
    • Good sleep leads to improved study results.

    Mental Health

    • Mental and emotional wellbeing enables individuals to reach their potential, handle stress, contribute to society, and function effectively.
    • Locus of control:
    • Internal locus of control - individuals believe their actions influence their lives
    • External locus of control - individuals believe external circumstances impact their lives

    Healthcare Systems

    • Healthcare systems can range from government controlled, to insurance-based, to out-of-pocket and combinations thereof.
    • Canada spends 11.6% of its GDP on health care while the US spends a significantly larger amount, yet has a worse outcome.
    • Types of healthcare systems include hospital-based care paid for by: government (e.g., taxes or payroll deductions), insurance companies, or combinations of government and insurance. Out-of-pocket payments are common in developing countries.

    Life Expectancy

    • Factors influencing life expectancy include country, sex, income level, and access to medical care.
    • Leading causes of death vary across age groups.
    • Life Expectancy (LE) is how many years a person is expected to live at a given stage of life, while healthspan is years lived in good health and full functionality.
    • Canada's life expectancy is 83.11 years.
    • Central African Republic has the shortest life expectancy.

    Wellness

    • Wellness is the state of living a healthy lifestyle, health is being, and wellness is doing.

    CAM (Complementary/Alternative Medicine)

    • Diverse medical systems, practices, and products outside of conventional medicine.
    • CAM is used by many people, and is a multi-billion dollar industry, with an estimated $8.8B in spending on CAM in Canada in 2015-2016

    Stress

    • Stress is a response to pressures and is a complex state of dynamic equilibrium.
    • Acute stress is a response to immediate events and activates the "fight-or-flight" response.
    • Chronic stress can negatively impact health.
    • Homeostasis is a complex dynamic equilibrium, challenged by internal and external stressors.

    Nutrition

    • Nutrients are categorized into macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).
    • Macronutrients provide energy.
    • Dietary fibre contributes to health by influencing digestive processes and overall health.
    • Macronutrients (fats, carbs and proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) contribute to overall health.

    Physical Activity

    • Physical activity includes activities of daily living (ADL), leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), and exercise.
    • Exercise is a planned form of physical activity aimed at improving fitness or overall well-being.
    • Higher income and education levels often correlate with higher physical activity levels.
    • Physical activity is necessary for maintaining various components of health.

    Cardiovascular Physiology

    • The heart is a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body.
    • The cardiac cycle describes the sequence of events involved in the heart's pumping action.
    • Blood vessels deliver blood throughout the body, with arteries carrying blood away from the heart and veins carrying blood back to the heart.

    Respiratory Physiology

    • The respiratory system includes the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
    • Gas exchange occurs in the lungs, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released.
    • Pulmonary function tests assess the efficiency of the respiratory system.

    Metabolism

    • Metabolism refers to the chemical processes that occur within a living organism to maintain life.
    • Energy is needed for all metabolic processes.
    • Carbohydrates are an important energy source for high-intensity exercise.
    • Fats are a more efficient source of energy for low-intensity activity.
    • 1 MET = 3.5 ml O2/kg/min
    • Amount of energy use at rest
    • Marker of exercise intensity

    Glucose Homeostasis

    • Glucose homeostasis is crucial for long-term health.
    • Blood sugar levels are closely regulated to ensure that the body has access to the energy it needs.
    • Blood sugar levels fluctuations are a result of bodily functions and outside factors.

    Behaviour Change

    • Factors affecting participation in physical activity depend on intrinsic/extrinsic factors.
