-
Edward Stanley - warned about neglecting exercise potentially leading to illness
-
Aristotle - considered the "Father of Kinesiology" and linked walking to health
-
1737 - Luigi Galvani discovered electricity stimulates muscle contraction
-
1847 - Carl Ludwig measured human blood pressure
-
1887 - Augustus De'sire Waller documented human heart electrical activity (EKG)
-
1920 - Archibald V. Hill described maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max)
-
1957 - A.F. Huxley theorized about muscle cross-bridge contraction
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
Health Related Fitness
- Components of fitness that allow for daily living activities
Performance Related Fitness
- 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.
- Effective exercise prescription considers specific individual goals in a well-organized manner.
Muscular Fitness
- Muscular fitness includes flexibility, strength, and endurance which are beneficial for overall fitness.
- Exercise regiments should consider muscular fitness, and certain exercises are associated with reduced risk of certain cancers (e.g., breast cancer risk is lower with 1-3 hours exercise/week).
- Yoga and Pilates are now also considered integral aspects to include in holistic fitness routines.
- Exercise is beneficial for maintaining various components of health.
Bona Fide Occupational Requirement (BFOR)
- Bona Fide Occupational Requirement (BFOR) is a physically demanding occupation in which failure to perform the job can result in loss of life or property.
