Study Notes
Course Information
- Course name: KINS 2030
- Course description: Physical Activity, Health, and Wellness
- Course topic: Creating a Physically Active Lifestyle
Learning Objectives (Lecture 1)
- Describe primary and secondary risk factors contributing to cardiovascular health
- Compare and contrast physical activity recommendations for type 1 and type 2 diabetes
- Describe the role of physical activity during treatment and recovery from cancer
- Recognize the importance of maintaining musculoskeletal health
- Identify physical activity factors related to bone health
- Describe the role of physical activity in attaining and maintaining mental health
- Identify the role of physical activity in managing the stress response, both short and long term
Cardiovascular Health
- Cardiorespiratory fitness is the ability of the heart, lungs, and vascular system to function effectively and efficiently
- Factors involved: blood pressure, blood fats, blood sugars, body weight, stress management, and physical activity
- Primary risk factors: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, inactivity
- Secondary risk factors: stress, obesity
Diabetes
- Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by persistently high levels of glucose in the blood
- Type 1 diabetes: autoimmune disease where the immune system destroys insulin-making beta cells
- Type 2 diabetes: insulin production is deficient or the body cannot use insulin effectively
- Gestational diabetes: occurs during pregnancy with type 2 characteristics
- Physical activity is important in blood sugar regulation
- Type 1 diabetes: daily activity, avoid "heavy" workouts in injected muscle areas
- Type 2 diabetes: 3-5 times per week, with 40-60% aerobic capacity, up to 60 continuous minutes
Cancer
- Cancer refers to diseases characterized by the uncontrollable growth and spread of abnormal cells
- Lifestyle behaviors increasing cancer risk: low levels of physical activity, excessive sedentary time
- Physical activity reduces cancer risk by: regulating energy balance, maintaining body weight, maintaining physical fitness, mechanical regulation, immune system functioning, and hormonal regulation
- Physical activity suggestions for prevention, treatment, recovery, and post-treatment (details on frequency, intensity, time, and type for each stage)
Musculoskeletal Health
- Musculoskeletal health refers to the overall well-being of our skeletal muscles
- Includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, and associated tissues that allow body movement
- Core body endurance exercises include yoga, push-ups, curl-ups, and other full-body exercises
- Musculoskeletal strength and balance are crucial for maintaining posture and preventing falls
Bone Health
- Bone health is about attaining and maintaining a strong skeleton
- Early adulthood requires developing and maintaining bone density
- Older adults primarily maintain bone density
- Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, increasing the risk of fracture
Managing Stress with Physical Activity
- Physical activity is an effective stress management tool, impacting both acute and long-term effects
- Acute effects: releases endorphins, mood-enhancing, pain reducing
- Long-term effects: physically fit body clears stress-related chemicals faster
Mental Health
- Physical activity can reduce depressive symptoms (mild to moderate)
- Releases endorphins, promotes better sleep
- Helps prevent or delay dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Learning Objectives (Lecture 2)
- Understand the difference between movement and exercise
- Evaluate lifestyle choices that reflect active living
- Identify the impacts of physical activity on morbidity and mortality
- Identify the health risks of excessive sedentary behaviours
- Analyze common supports and barriers to physical activity
Physical Activity Recommendations
- Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology guidelines for adults aged 18-64:
- Obtain at least 2.5 hours of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more
- Add muscle, and bone strengthening activities using major muscle groups, at least 2 days per week
- Moderate-intensity: 40-60% aerobic capacity, 50-70% maximum heart rate
- Vigorous-intensity: 60-80% aerobic capacity, 70-85% maximum heart rate
Active Living
- Active living is choosing movement whenever possible
- Using stairs instead of elevators, walking/biking instead of driving
- Engaging in active recreational activities like hiking, playing sports, and taking active dates
Active Transportation
- Using own energy to travel is faster in cities (walking 2 km or less, cycling 10 km or less)
- Only 6-7% of Canadians walk to work and 1% cycle to work
Exercise
- Physical activity is any bodily movement engaging skeletal muscles and expending calories
- Physical fitness is the ability to perform daily tasks with energy left over for emergencies
- Divided into health- (e.g., cardiorespiratory endurance) related or performance-related (e.g., power) components
- Exercise is an intentional and repetitive movement to improve or maintain health-related and performance-related fitness components
Physical Activity and Morbidity/Mortality
- Higher levels of physical activity result in better health outcomes
- Inactivity is associated with poorer health
- Poor health negatively impacts physical activity levels
- Relationship between physical activity and health is a J-shaped curve
Defining Sedentary Behavior
- Essential: class lectures, discussions, studying, writing, commuting
- Non-essential: TV, movies, video games, internet/social media browsing
Health Risks of Sedentary Behavior
- Excessive sedentary behavior is associated with: higher levels of blood fats (triglycerides), lower levels of HDLs, reduced insulin sensitivity, poorer bone health, increased blood pressure
Reducing Sedentary Time
- Make standing more acceptable in classrooms and meeting settings
- Design active workstations
- Encourage use of standing desks, bike desks, and walking meetings
