    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.
    • 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.
