Prevents and manages osteoporosis
Benefits of PA: Promotes successful aging - (answer)Preserve function, independence and QOL
Reduce risk of falls and fall related injury
Have more energy: stimulates mitochondria activity
Confidence
A healthy 24 hours includes - (answer)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 - (answer)Any bodily movement produced by the contraction of muscles that increases
energy expenditure above a resting level
Exercise Definition - (answer)PA that is planned, structured, repetitive and performed with the goal of
improving components of health or fitness
MPA Met level - (answer)3-6 Mets

PA Risks: Thermal - (answer)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 - (answer)Exposure to pathogens via direct contact or airborne transmission
during PA
Factors: environment, ventilation, crowded space, direct contact, health conditions that cause
immunosuppression
PA Risks: Musculoskeletal - (answer)Eg. Sprains, strains, fractures
Factors: type of activity (force x frequency), load management (exceeds tissue capacity, progression,
inadequate recovery, individual) , environment and equipment
PA Risks: Cardiac - (answer)Sudden cardiac death: occurs w/in 6hrs of normal
Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Cerebral artery dissection, a tear in either carotid or vertebral artery (bleeding can form a clot and cause
a stroke)
Factors: 35+yrs, male, underlying CV, use of stimulants and performance enhancing drugs, VPA
Guidelines for same PA - (answer)Consider risks associated with PA
Prescreen for risks of adverse events
Choose appropriate and effective types
Increase activity gradually
Ensure equipment and environment
Provide modifications for chronic conditions
