Physical Activity Guidelines
This is the minimum duration of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity that can provide health benefits
This is a benefit of increased PA.
What is decreased morbidity and mortality? (Improved CV function, reduced risk for chronic diseases, etc.)
This is a strategy to prevent exercise-related cardiac events.
What is 120 mmHg?
This BMI range is considered healthy.
What is 18.5-24.9?
What is 150 minutes of moderate PA or 75 minutes of vigorous PA?
Improved cardiovascular and respiratory function, and decreased anxiety and depression.
What are health benefits of regular PA?
This is why school athletes should undergo preparticipation screening.
What is identify underlying cardiac conditions that could pose a risk during PA?
This reflects peripheral resistance in the arteries to blood flow.
What is diastolic blood pressure?
These are different methods to determine body composition.
Physical inactivity is considered a global pandemic affecting this % of adults worldwide.
What is 31.1%?
Regular PA does this to cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.
What is reduces?
During preparticipation screening, exercise professionals should look for criteria for these types of diseases.
What are cardiovascular, metabolic and renal diseases.
PA helps do this to blood pressure by improving heart function and reducing arterial stiffness.
What is lower?
This is calculated by dividing the circumference of the waist to the circumference of the hips.
What is waist:hip?
True or False: For those who are inactive, PA of any intensity can provide health benefits.
What is "True"?
These can be reduced with PA due to the release of endorphins and improved overall mental health.
What is anxiety and depression?
Regardless of how active they are, an exercise professional should advise a client to seek medical clearance prior to participation under this condition.
What are signs and symptoms of cardiac, renal, and metabolic disease?
Stroke and heart disease.
What are negative health consequences of uncontrolled high blood pressure?
This body composition measurement uses the principle that subcutaneous fat is proportional to the total amount of body fat.
What is skinfold measurement?
Physical inactivity can have negative impacts on these physiologic systems.
What are all physiologic systems (immune, bone, digestive, reproductive, skeletal muscle, nervous, cardiorespiratory, and endocrine)?
What is PA?
What is true?
This is the pressure of your blood pushing against artery walls while the heart rests in between beats.
What is diastolic?
Body composition assessment plays an important role in health-related physical fitness among these reasons.
