Study Notes
WHO Exercise Guidelines for Different Age Groups
- The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exercise guidelines for different age groups and physical conditions to promote good health and discourage sedentary behavior.
- Guidelines specify duration, intensity, and frequency of physical activity.
Infancy (0-2 years)
- Infants have limited muscle control but enjoy limb movement.
- Exercises focusing on head control, crawling, and sitting are encouraged.
- Carrying infants in laps or using high chairs/walkers is detrimental to motor development.
- Electronic media exposure should be avoided.
Early Childhood (3-7 years)
- This age promotes motor and sensory skill development.
- Daily physical activity strengthens bones, muscles, heart, and lungs.
- Exercising helps maintain healthy weight and mental development.
- Encouraging participation in activities, not competition.
Late Childhood (8-12 years)
- Exercise enhances cognitive development.
- Encouraging teamwork and participation in sports.
- Teaching basic rules of competition and sportsmanship is crucial.
- Sports like running, cycling, and swimming are encouraged.
Adolescence (13-19 years)
- This is a time of prolonged exercise, producing competitive athletes.
- Building strength, flexibility, and endurance is emphasized.
- Activities such as running, gymnastics, weightlifting, and sports like hockey, football, tennis, and squash are encouraged.
- Fostering a competitive spirit and aiming for excellence.
Adults (20-64 years)
- Regular exercise schedule to prevent lifestyle diseases.
- Loss of muscle mass occurs with age.
- Adults should engage in at least 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, or 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week.
- Balance exercises are essential for preventing falls.
Common Postural Deformities
- Various types of postural deformities are discussed.
Spinal Curvature (Kyphosis, Lordosis, Scoliosis)
- Spinal curvature is a deformity related to the spine.
- Excessive weight or weak muscles cause this.
- Kyphosis: excessive curvature of upper back
- Lordosis: exaggerated inward curve in lumbar region.
- Scoliosis: sideways spinal curve.
- Causes include malnutrition, illness, environment, lack of exercise, and excessive loads.
Flatfoot
- Flatfoot is a postural deformity common in newborns.
- Characterized by the lack of arch in the foot.
- Causes include weak muscles, improper footwear, obesity, and carrying heavy loads.
Knock-knees (Genu valgum)
- This occurs when the knees touch each other while standing.
- Lack of balanced nutrition (vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus), rickets, chronic illness, obesity, and flatfoot can cause them.
Bow Legs (Genu varum)
- Bow legs develop when there is a significant gap between knees when feet are together.
- Causes include deficiencies in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and obesity.
- Early or forced walking.
Round Shoulders
- Round shoulders are caused by tight chest muscles and weak back muscles.
- Sitting, standing, and wearing tight clothing can lead to round shoulders.
