Physical Health Yesterday and TodayInfectious Diseases- Diseases that are caused by infecting organisms
◦Examples: smallpox and polio
Lifestyle Diseases- Diseases that are made likely by neglect of the body
◦ Examples: heart disease, cancer, diabetes
3 Factors that lead to lifestyle diseases: ◦1. Choices ◦2. Heredity ◦3. Environment
Section 1 Section 1
Family Medical History and Environment
Lifestyle Choices –Choices made daily; of how to treat the body and mind
◦ Examples: what we eat, and when to exercise
Family Medical History and Environment
Heredity- In some people the tendency to develop certain diseases may be common within in a family.
- Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco and other substances can still reduce the person’s risk
Section 1
Family Medical History and Environment
Environment- This includes infectious diseases caused by pollution of the air, water, and food. - Environmental impacts include physical, social, and cultural environmental factors.
Chronological Age vs. Physiological Age
Chronological age- is your age measured in years from date of birth
Physiological age- is your age as estimated from the body’s health and probable life expectancy
5 Factors that Influence Physiological Age:1.Get 8-9 hours of sleep each night2.Eat regular, nutritious meals, including breakfast3.Engage in regular physical activity 4.Avoid the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. 5.Maintain a healthy body weight.
Components Components of Physical of Physical
FitnessFitness
Muscular Strength Muscular Strength •The maximal force generated by a specific muscle group
•The more muscularly fit we are , the less energy it will take to perform everyday tasks
•Other Benefits: Stronger Bones, Improved appearance, increased metabolism, and women tend to have easier
pregnancy
Muscular Endurance Muscular Endurance
The ability of a muscle group to execute repeated contractions over a period time, or to statically hold a resistance for a prolonged period of time
Body Composition Body Composition
The % of body weight that is composed of fat to that composed of lean muscle
Muscular Flexibility Muscular Flexibility
The maximum ability to move a joint through a range of motion
Cardiovascular EnduranceCardiovascular Endurance
The ability to perform large muscle, dynamic moderate to high intensity exercise for prolonged periods.
Main Components:1. Warm Up2. Exercise3. Cool Down
5 Components of Physical Fitness5 Components of Physical Fitness
Each component is separate and has a direct relationship to good healthThey also reduce the risk of developing certain lifestyle diseases An appropriate and regularexercise program can influence every component ofhealth related fitness
Cardiovascular Exercise: Main ComponentsCardiovascular Exercise: Main ComponentsWarm Up
◦ The Purpose of the Warm Up/Stretching Period are:
1. Increase muscle temperature and blood flow to those muscles that will be used in the workout
2. Reduces strain on the heart by slowly and gradually increasing your heart rate
3. Reduce the risk of the muscle tendon and ligament injury
4. Improve and maintain flexibility
Cardiovascular Exercise: Main ComponentsCardiovascular Exercise: Main ComponentsExerciseThe exercise should be aerobic and be between 50 -80% of MHR for 20-60 minActivities that require frequent and/or change of direction or stopping do not meet recommendations
Cardiovascular Exercise: Main ComponentsCardiovascular Exercise: Main ComponentsCool Down
◦ The cool down and stretching immediately following the primary conditioning period serves 4 purposes:1. Prevents blood pooling which may cause one to feel
lightheaded or faint 2. May reduce the severity of exercise induced muscle
soreness3. Allows the body to dissipate heat, lowering body
temperature 4. A “warm” muscle has greater stretching ability than a
“cold” muscle

•What is the F.I.T.T. Principle?
• What questions do you need to ask yourself before you begin training?
F.I.T.T. PrincipleF.I.T.T. Principle•The FITT principle stands for:
F- Frequency “How often?” I- Intensity “How Hard?” T- Time “How long/Sets/Reps?” T- Type “What kind of exercises?”
•Other questions to be considered before beginning training:
Do you want to develop strength or muscular endurance?
What type of equipment do you need/have? Are you a beginner/intermediate/high level of fitness? How is your overall health? Any restrictions? What is your Target Heart Rate?
Target Heart RateTarget Heart Rate
Resting Heart Rate: 60-90 BPM
Maximum Heart Rate:220- Age= MHR
Target Heart Rate Zone:220 – Age * .50 – Lower End
Ex. 220-34* .50= 93220- Age * .70 – Upper End
Ex. 220-34* .70= 130

Obstacles to ChangeObstacles to Change3 General Areas:
1.Competence- The person lacks needed knowledge or skill to make the change2.Confidence- The person has the needed knowledge but believes that making a change is beyond the scope or his/her ability 3.Motivation- The person possesses both competence and confidence, but lacks sufficient reason to change
Section 3Section 3
Smart Model of Goal Setting Specific - A vague goal only has a slim chance of ever being realized. Measurable - A specific goal can be measured by answering questions that begin with 'how'. How much? How many? How long? Attainable - Setting challenging goals will make you grow. It will boost your self-esteem and create confidence. An attainable goal must be within the realm of reason - challenging, but reasonable.Realistic - A realistic goal is something that is realistic for you. You define what is realistic or not. The way to define what is realistic for you is to ask yourself if you are both willing and able to work persistently and tenaciously toward this goal. Timely - Your goal has to have a start and an end date. Without these boundaries around your goal, procrastination, the arch enemy of achievement, will sabotage your best efforts to attain a good goal.
