Prevents and manages depression and anxiety
Improves sleep
Manages migraines
Benefits of PA: Optimize body composition
Ans: Can contribute to weight loss
Useful to prevent and manage obesity
Central distribution of fat is more significant than overall body
weight
Reduces waist circumference with and without weight loss
Benefits of PA: Improves Tissue Health
Ans: Tissues adapt to optimal loading
Strengthens ligaments, cartilage, bone, muscle, discs
Builds tissue capacity to prevent injury, optimizes recovery and
prevent reinjury
Prevents and manages osteoporosis
Benefits of PA: Promotes successful aging

Have more energy: stimulates mitochondria activity
Confidence
A healthy 24 hours includes
Ans: 150 mins/ week mod-vig PA
Muscle strengthening at least 2x/week using major muscle
groups (max benefits <60mins)
Several hours LPA
7-9hrs (18-64yrs) 7-8 hrs (65+yrs) good quality,
regular/consistent sleep
Less than 8 hours sedentary (above this mortality increases
rapidly
Less than 3 hours screen time
PA Definition
Ans: Any bodily movement produced by the contraction of
muscles that increases energy expenditure above a resting level
Exercise Definition
Ans: PA that is planned, structured, repetitive and performed
with the goal of improving components of health or fitness

MPA Met level
Ans: 3-6 Mets
VPA Met level
Ans: More than 6
Causes greater reduction of all cause mortality
PA Risks: Thermal
Ans: Illness that occurs when exercising during conditions of
high environmental stress
Heat related: high temp and humidity
Cold related: extreme cold temp, windchill, moisture
Some conditions impair thermoregulation, inadequate
preparation for conditions
PA Risks: Infectious disease
Ans: Exposure to pathogens via direct contact or airborne
transmission during PA
Factors: environment, ventilation, crowded space, direct
contact, health conditions that cause immunosuppression
