Active Lifestyle Benefits
Active Lifestyle Benefits
An active lifestyle improves bone and muscle strength, motor skills, body composition, and heart and lung efficiency. It can also delay aging, reduce disease risk (cardiovascular, cancer), and regulate blood pressure. It can also improve mental health (anxiety/depression) and build self-esteem.
Sedentary Lifestyle Risk
Sedentary Lifestyle Risk
A lack of physical activity is a major risk factor for many non-communicable diseases like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.

Study Notes
Importance of an Active Lifestyle
- Improves bone, joint, and muscle strength
- Develops motor control and coordination
- Maintains healthy body composition
- Increases lung and heart efficiency
- Increases muscle strength and endurance
- Possibly delays aging
- Reduces risk of cardiovascular diseases (e.g., coronary artery disease, stroke)
- Helps regulate blood pressure
- Reduces risk of breast and colon cancer
- Improves mental well-being (reduces anxiety and depression), and builds self-esteem and social interaction
- Confirmed by hundreds of researches over 20 years
- Prevents non-communicable diseases (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, some cancers)
- Sedentary lifestyle is a significant risk factor for non-communicable diseases (WHO)
- 8% of premature deaths due to sedentary lifestyle
- Exercise can reduce premature death: 50% for cardiovascular diseases, 30% for type 2 diabetes
Types of Exercise
- Repetitive movements to improve fitness components
- Classified as Aerobic, Resistance, or Stretching
- Aerobic Exercise: Involves large muscle groups in rhythmic, continuous movements (e.g., swimming, biking, running, dancing) to improve aerobic capacity
- Resistance Exercise: Muscles contract against external load (e.g., barbell, TRX, Thera-Band, resistance machines) to improve muscular strength, endurance, and bone strength
- Stretching Exercise: Increases elasticity of muscles and tendons, improving joint flexibility. (e.g., static, ballistic, dynamic stretching).
Adaptations to Aerobic Exercise
- Heart: Increased ejection of blood per beat due to enlargement of the left ventricle
- Muscles: Thicker muscles enabling more forceful contractions to expel blood
- Blood Vessels: Enhanced capillary network for efficient gas exchange, improved blood flow and temperature regulation
Adaptations to Resistance Training
- Muscles and Skeletal System: Increased muscle size, activation of more muscles, strengthening of surrounding tissues (tendons, ligaments) to handle increased forces
Stretching Exercise
- Improves range of motion, muscle coordination and connective tissue elasticity improving joint strength and efficiency.
Stages of Change (Transtheoretical Model)
- Pre-contemplation: Individuals unaware of the need for change
- Contemplation: Individuals think about adopting a new behavior but are undecided
- Preparation: Individuals committed to change and prepare to adopt a new behavior
- Action: Individuals actively engage in the new behavior
- Maintenance: Individuals consistently maintain the new behavior for more than six months, with relapse tendency minimal.
Barriers to an Active Lifestyle
- Lack of time
- Fatigue
- Lack of resources
- Lack of motivation
- Lack of willpower
- Negative self-talk
Solutions to address Barriers
- Prioritize activities and time allocation
- Schedule workouts
- Explore affordable activities
- Set SMART goals and reward yourself
- Identify and address triggers to relapse
- Avoid negative self-talk
