Module 2 Physical Activity and Health (PART 1)
Objectives
At the end of this module students will be able to do the following:
Describe risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases, identifying which are primary,
secondary, modifiable and non-modifiable.
Describe evidence supporting the roles for exercise and physical activity
participation in the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as cardiovascular
disease, cancer and diabetes.
Describe the doseresponse relationships for exercise and physical activity
interventions on lifestyle-related outcomes.
Describe the process of atherosclerosis, and possible mechanisms by which exercise
may intervene in this process.
Describe the specific effects of exercise and physical activity on risk factors for
lifestyle-related diseases.
Describe the research literature related to the role of exercise in the secondary
prevention of disease and the control of blood pressure, blood glucose and insulin
resistance.
Explain the role of sedentary behaviour and physical activity in the aetiology,
prevention and management of lifestyle-related chronic diseases.
Study Tasks
1. Watch the video 23 and 1/2 Hoursby Mike Evans before completing the following
activities:
How much does physical activity reduce pain and disability in those with knee
arthritis?
47%
How much does physical activity, with other lifestyle interventions, reduce
the progression to diabetes in those at risk?
58%
Describe the benefits of having high cardiorespiratory fitness.
Low cardiorespiratory fitness is the largest predictor of death, so being able to
exercise, increases health in many areas.

Document Summary

Nutr1023 health and fitness through diet and exercise. Module 2 physical activity and health (part 1) 58: describe the benefits of having high cardiorespiratory fitness. Low cardiorespiratory fitness is the largest predictor of death, so being able to exercise, increases health in many areas: explain the amount of exercise required to achieve health benefits. Big differences can be seen when a person goes from doing nothing to something (eg/ one hour exercise per week (from previously zero) decreases heart disease by almost half). It is said that half an hour of exercise per day is optimal which can be broken down (eg/ 10 minute intervals). Intensity can be varied: describe the health risks associated with prolonged sitting. Compared with people who watch no tv, people who watch approximately 6 hours per day were expected to live 5 years less: watch the videos (cid:858)physical activity and health(cid:859) and (cid:858)physical activity and all-cause.
