HPE 100- Physical Activity and Health (28/02/2017)
• Physical activity is an aspect of health
• A state of oplete physial, etal ad soial welleig ad ot erely the
asee of disease ad ifirity.
• To be truly healthy a person must be capable of functioning at an optimal level in
each of the dimensions of health
• physical, social AND environmental, spiritual, emotional, intellectual
• Quality of life is as important as years of life
• LEARN DIMESIONS OF HEALTH:
-intellectual health
-social health
-emotional health
-environmental health
-spiritual health
-physical health
• Things that affect health:
-gender
-income
-social support
-education
-employment
-social environment
-physical environment
-coping skills
-access to health care
-childhood development
-cultural and ethnic background
-
• Predisposing factors: what does a person need to know and value to want to engage
in the new healthy behaviour.
• Enabling factors: what info and skills does a person need to be able to participate in
the new healthy behaviour
• Reinforcing factors: what kinds of reinforcement or rewards would help a person
continue with the new healthy behaviour
• What else influences change:
- motivation
-beliefs and attitudes
-intentions to change
-significant others as change agents (support at home/changing)
• Risk fators for health do’t operate i isolatio/iterat with eah other
-ill health
-disability
-disease
-death

• Behavioural risk factors:
-tobacco smoking
-excessive alcohol consumption
-poor diet and nutrition
-physical inactivity
-excessive sun exposure
-insufficient vaccination
-unprotected sexual activity
• Biomedical risk factors:
-influenced by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and other broad factors
-overweight and obesity
-high blood pressure
- high blood cholesterol
-impaired glucose tolerance
• Genetic risk factors
• Some diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy, result entirely from
an individual's genetic make-up whereas many others reflect the interaction
between that make-up and environmental factors.
• Demographic risk factors
• Demographic factors include age, sex, and population subgroups. Examples of risk
associated with demographic factors include:
• E.g. A woman's risk of developing breast cancer before age 75 is 1 in 11, whereas for
men the chance is only 1 in 1,426.
Chronic Diseases and lifestyle:
Chronic diseases are leading causes of death and disability in Australia.
Chronic diseases are also associated with high use of health care services,
contributing to major funding pressures in Australian health care that are expected
to rise over coming decades as prevalence increases.
The increased prevalence of chronic disease has been attributed to a range of causes
including the ageing of our population and lifestyle factors such as smoking, physical
inactivity and excessive alcohol intake.
Chronic disease:
• Chronic diseases are illnesses that are
• Chronic diseases are complex and varied in terms of their nature, how they are
caused and the extent of their impact on the community (e.g. diabetes, heart
disease, stroke, arthritis).
• Some chronic diseases make large contributions to premature death, others
contribute more to disability. Some may last indefinitely, whereas others may
resolve over time.
Features to most chronic diseases include:
• complex causality - multiple factors leading to their onset
• a long development period, some of which may have no symptoms
• a prolonged course of illness, perhaps leading to other health complications and

• functional impairment or disability.
lifestyle diseases:
• tobacco smoking
• physical inactivity
• risky alcohol consumption
• poor diet
• obesity
• hypertension
• who’s at risk-health inequalities-insufficient
• Adults living in Outer regional and remote areas are, on average, ___ active (62%)
than those in Major cities (53%)
• % people who do not meet physical activity guidelines increases with
_socioeconomic disadvantage
• 60% of men and 67% of women living in most disadvantaged areas do not meet
physical activity guidelines > compared with 44% of men and 50% of women living in
the least disadvantaged areas.
