Study Notes
Physical Activity & Fitness
- Physical Activity, Exercise and Fitness are distinct concepts.
- Fitness is a state of well-being.
- Exercise is planned, structured physical activity.
- Physical Activity is any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles.
Components of Health-Related Fitness
- Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to working muscles.
- Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle to generate force.
- Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to exert force repeatedly over time.
- Flexibility is the range of motion in a joint.
- Body composition is the proportion of fat, bone, and muscle in the body.
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise
- Aerobic exercise requires oxygen and can be sustained for a long period of time.
- Anaerobic exercise does not require oxygen and is only sustained for a short period of time.
Global Inactivity
- Sedentary lifestyles kill more than 5 million people annually.
- 1 in 10 deaths in Central and South America are attributed to physical inactivity.
- 1 in 8 US preschoolers is obese.
Nutrition - Life Course Perspective
- Linked Lives: parents' choices, behaviors, and genetics influence their children.
- Life Events as Trajectory: influences have a differential impact at various stages of the life course.
- Human Agency: Individuals make choices influenced by their social worlds.
- Historical Context: historical perspectives offer context for understanding current forces and factors.
Linked Lives
- Individuals' lives are interconnected and cannot be understood in isolation.
- Relationship histories influence present and future interactions.
- Interventions targeting couples, families, and friend networks can improve health behaviors.
Trajectories
- A life-course approach focuses on understanding long-ranging developmental trajectories.
- The pattern of physical activity over time constitutes a 'behavioral trajectory.'
- Common behavioral patterns include stable active, stable sedentary, activity adopter, activity relapser, and perpetual preparer.
- Changes from one state to another are considered "trajectory transitions."
- Transitions can influence physical activity behavior at various life stages (e.g., freshman 15, post-wedding weight gain).
Human Agency
- Individuals actively make choices within opportunities and constraints.
- Psychosocial theories can be applied to understand physical activity for people with disabilities.
- Choices and decisions are limited by the accessibility and availability of resources.
Historical Context
- The life-course is shaped by historical time and geography.
- Historical events can have differential effects on different subgroups of the population.
- Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 provided increasing opportunities for women to participate in physical activity.
Title IX
- Title IX aims to prevent sex discrimination in educational programs and activities receiving federal funding.
- Title IX mandated equal opportunities for women in sports.
- Colleges and universities must demonstrate equal sports participation rates, a history of program expansion, and efforts to address the demand of female students.
NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association)
- NCAA began sponsoring women's championship sports in 1981-1982.
- Division III has the largest participation gap between men and women.
Life-Span Development
- Early physical activity experiences influence later participation.
- The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study demonstrates a positive relationship between PA at age 3 and age 18.
- Early intervention is vital for the prevention of later physical inactivity.
Summary
- The life-course perspective highlights the interconnectedness of lives, patterns of behavior over time, the role of transitions, and the importance of agency.
- Historical context and lifespan development play crucial roles in shaping physical activity participation throughout life.
