Document Summary
The trick is to find the most purposeful exercise. Goals: older athletes were not as fit when they were young. To live longer: does the more athletic live longer, odds ratio: 1 person smokes, 1 doesn"t 3 x risk of getting cancer. To prevent diseases of choice: osteoporosis, cv disease, diabetes, cancer. Women finish bone development at 15: mom drives girl to school . Current state: fitness components [vo2 max, sit and reach test, movement competency, pain (tolerance) Of course: people with diabetes: for the most part are reluctant about doing exercise, people with breast cancer: very hyped, you have to hold them back from doing too much, support systems. Client counselling and affective behaviour change: height to waist ratio, 2 min plank, stand on 1 foot, floor sit to stand. Example: risk of driving kids to school. *optimal athleticism is achieved with balance of training (depends on the type of person and goals)*
