Review:Health benefits of physical activity: the evidence
13 Awesome Mental Health Benefits of Exercise: NIH, March 2013
Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for
cardiovascular disease and a widening variety of other chronic diseases, including ◦ hypertension, ◦ diabetes mellitus, ◦ cancer (colon and breast),◦ obesity, ◦ bone and joint diseases (osteoporosis◦ and osteoarthritis), ◦ and depression.
Introduction
The prevalence of physical inactivity is higher than that of all other modifiable risk factors (51% of adults in Canada and 60% of USA adults, 86% of adults in Khartoum).
There is evidence that physical activity is profoundly helpful in the primary and secondary prevention of :◦ Premature death from any cause, ◦ cardiovascular disease, ◦ diabetes,◦ some cancers ◦ and osteoporosis.
The prevalence of physical inactivity is high.
Over the last 60 years or so, numerous long-term prospective follow-up studies (in men and women) have assessed the relative risk of death from any cause
and from specific diseases (e.g., CVD) associated with physical inactivity.
Primary prevention :All-cause and CV-related death
Both men and women who reported increased levels of physical activity and fitness were found to have
20-35% reductions in relative risk of death.
All-cause and CV-related death Primary prevention
being fit or active was associated with a greater than 50% reduction in risk.
Physically inactive middle-aged women (less than 1 hour of exercise per week) ◦ experienced a 52% increase in all-cause
mortality, ◦ a doubling of cardiovascular related mortality◦ and a 29% increase in cancer-related mortality
compared with physically active women.
All-cause and CV-related death Primary prevention in women
These relative risks from inactivity are similar to those for ◦ hypertension,◦ hypercholesterolemia ◦ and obesity,
and they approach those associated with moderate cigarette smoking.

An increase in physical fitness will reduce the risk of premature death, and a decrease in physical fitness will increase the risk.
The effect appears to be graded, such that even small improvements in physical fitness are associated with a significant reduction in risk.
Physical fitness and the risk of premature death
Modest enhancements in physical fitness in previously sedentary people have been associated with large improvements in health status.
People who went from unfit to fit over a 5-year period had a reduction of 44% in the relative risk of death compared with people who remained unfit.
Does a slight effort in physical activity matter?
These protective effects were seen with as little as 1 hour of walking per week.
A dose–response relation appears to exist: people who have the highest levels of physical activity and fitness are at lowest risk of premature death.
How little is the minimum activity?Is high physical activity bad?

The benefits of physical activity and fitness extend to patients with established CVD.
This is important because, for a long time, rest and physical inactivity had been recommended for patients with CVD.
Unlike studies of primary prevention, many studies of secondary prevention are RCTs.
Several systematic reviews have clearly shown the importance of engaging in regular exercise to attenuate or reverse the disease process in patients with CVD.
Secondary prevention of CV disease
Low-intensity exercise training (e.g., exercise at less than 45% of maximum aerobic power) has also been associated with an improvement in health status among patients with CVD.
Secondary Prevention for CV disase: Minimum Training Intensity Recommended For
Patients With Heart Disease
Both aerobic and resistance types of exercise have been shown to be associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.
DIABETES MELLITUS: primary prevention
Exercise interventions are also effective in the management of DM.
One prospective cohort study showed that walking at least 2 hrs /week was associated with a reduction in the incidence of premature death ◦ of 39%–54% from any cause, ◦ of 34%–53% from CVD.
DIABETES MELLITUS: Secondary prevention
Several seminal reviews published regarding the relation between cancer and routine physical activity.
In over 100 epidemiologic studies, routine physical activity is associated with
reductions in the incidence of specific cancers,
in particular colon and breast cancer.
CANCER: Primary prevention
Weight-bearing exercise, especially resistance exercise, appears to have the greatest effects on bone mineral density.
In one review,10 several cross-sectional reports revealed that people who did resistance training had increased bone mineral density compared with those who did not do such training.
Furthermore, athletes who engaged in high-impact sports tended to have increased bone mineral density compared with athletes who engaged in low-impact sports.
OSTEOPOROSIS: Primary prevention
A study involving early postmenopausal osteopenic women revealed:
a 2-year intensive training program was effective in attenuating the rate of bone loss.
preliminary evidence indicates that regular physical activity is an effective secondary preventive strategy for the maintenance of bone health and the fight against osteoporosis.
OSTEOPOROSIS: Secondary prevention
There is increasing evidence that enhanced musculoskeletal fitness is associated with an improvement in overall health status and a reduction in the risk of chronic disease and disability.
This research has led to a shift in focus in research related to the health benefits of activities that tax the musculoskeletal system.

Two recent systematic reviews have revealed that enhanced musculoskeletal fitness is positively associated with:◦ functional independence, ◦ mobility, ◦ glucose homeostasis, ◦ bone health, ◦ psychological well-being ◦ and overall quality of life
and is negatively associated with the risk of falls, illness and premature death.
Musculoskeletal fitness and functional independence
Currently, most health and fitness organizations and professionals advocate a minimum volume of exercise that expends 1000 kcal (4200 kJ) per week and acknowledge the added benefits of higher energy expenditures.
Recently, investigators have postulated that even lower levels of weekly energy expenditure may be associated with health benefits.
A volume of exercise that is about half of what is currently recommended may be sufficient, particularly for people who are extremely deconditioned or are frail and elderly.
How much physical activity is enough?
Chronic inflammation (indicated by CRP) has been shown to be strongly associated with most of the chronic diseases.
Recent RCTs have shown that exercise training may cause marked reductions in CRP levels.
This may explain directly or indirectly the reduced incidence of chronic disease and premature death among people who engage in routine physical activity.
How does physical activity and fitness lead to improved health outcomes?
Which type of exercise? Aerobic (e.g. walking) Resistance (muscle
building) Flexibility (joints and
tendons) Agility (dancing,
competitive games) High impact (athletes

The Sudan Safe Exercises for All (SEFA) program
PhilosophyProper physical activity needs
three independent components that need to be fulfilled:
Potentiate your breathing capacity (capture more O2) and deliver the O2 to the cells.
There are over 300 joints that need to be mobilized, lest they will get stiff (ankylosis, calcification).
Resistance exercises to improve muscle power.
The Sudan Safe Exercise for all (SEFA) program: plan of action1. Build muscle power
by resistance (weight bearing).(30%)
2. Activate the cardiopulmonary system by aerobic efforts. (30%)
The Sudan Safe Exercise for all (SEFA) program: plan of action1. Flexibility of the
skeletal system: (40%)
a) Cervical spine, shoulders, thoracic cage and spine, lumbar spine and mid-section, hips and pelvis.
b) Stretch ligaments and tendons
