relationships between PA and PF and morbidity/mortality from CHD
was not understood/ recognized scientifically until
Ans: late 1940's early 1950's
Dr. Jeremy Morris formulated the hypothesis
Ans: "men in physically active jobs suffer less CHD than
comparable men in sedentary jobs"
-public health community was skeptical of this hypothesis
Dr. Jeremy Morris first study 1953 London
Ans: London Bus Study- showed active bus conductors were at
lower risk of CHD than bus drivers, later results were soon after
reported for postmen delivering mail on foot compared to
sedentary desk clerks
Framingham Heart Study (ongoing)

1948 in an effort to determine which factors were related to the
development of CHD

-1960,1961 the first results were published that showed
cigarette smoking, cholesterol, and high blood pressure were
risk factors for CHD
-1967 data from this study were published that showed a link
between physical activity and reduced risk of CHD
Tecumseh Community Health Study (1957)
Ans: entire community of Tecumseh Michigan to determine
biological, physical, social, and environmental factors related to
how some people maintained good health while others are
more susceptible to disease
-Dr. Henry Montoye took over 2nd and 3rd phases of this
project and added measures of physical fitness
~submaximal step test was used to estimate aerobic fitness
~later maximal treadmill test was used to measure aerobic
fitness
San Francisco Longshoremen and College Alumni Study
Ans: Dr. Ralph Paffenbarger directed this work, these large
studies showed that
1. people who were more physically active in leisure and
occupation exhibited reduced risk for CHD mortality and
morbidity- they quantified physical activity (kcal expenditure)

2. people who remained physically active years past college
were the only ones to benefit from leading a physically active
lifestyle
- this work (60's and 70's) raised awareness of roles of PA in
health promotional and disease prevention -> from a public
health perspective
Aerobic's Center Longitudinal Study
Ans: ongoing study of physical activity, fitness, diet, and other
lifestyle factors have on mortality and chronic disease
-largest study ever to use an objective measure of physical
fitness
Directed by Doctor Steven Blair
this ongoing study has generated more than 100 published
studies of fitness and lowered risk of mortality, CVD, cancer,
obesity, diabetes, hypertension, depression, and metabolic
syndrome
Aerobic's Center Longitudinal Study
Ans: prospective observational study of physical activity,
physical fitness, and health outcomes among men and women
~10,000 men and 3,000 women were followed for 8 years for all -
cause mortality in relation to initial level (quintiles) of
cardiorespiratory fitness
