Introduction
• Physical activity is any form of muscular activity– Related to physical fitness
• Exercise represents a subset of physical activity that is planned, with a goal of improving or maintain fitness
• Can reduce the risk of death from all causes• Physical inactivity is a primary risk factor for
coronary heart disease
Objectives1. Characterize physical inactivity as a coronary heart
disease risk factor comparable to smoking
2. Contrast exercise with physical activity; explain how both relate to a lower risk of CHD and improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness
3. Describe the physical activity recommendation by ACSM and the CDC and Prevention to improve health status of sedentary U.S. adults
4. Explain what screening and progression mean for a person wishing to initiate an exercise program
Objectives5. Identify optimal range of frequency, intensity, & duration
of activity associated with improvements in CRF, why is more not alway better than less?
6. Calculate a target heart rate range by either the heart range reserve or percent of maximal HR
7. Explain why the appropriate sequence of physical activity for sedentary persons is walk, walk/jog, jog, followed by games
8. Explain how target heart rate (THR) helps adjust exercise intensity in times of high heat, humidity, or while at altitude
Prescription of ExerciseDose-Response Relationship
• The effect (response) of the amount of a drug (dose)– Potency– Slope– Maximal effect– Variability– Side effect
Dose-Response Relationship for Medication

Dose-Response
• Exercise dose is usually characterized by;– Intensity– Frequency– Duration– Type of activity
Physical Activity and Health
• The benefits of physical activity may be more related to total number of calories expended than exercise intensity
• The “Exercise Lite” recommendation
“Every U.S. adult should accumulate thirty minutes or more of moderate-intensity (3-6 METs) physical activity on most,
preferably all, days of the week.”
Dose Response of Exercise
• The following terms are used to describe the patterns of responses in the weeks following the initiation of a dose of exercise– Acute response – occur with one or several
exercise bouts but do not improve further– Rapid responses – benefits occur early & plateau– Linear – gains are made continuously over time– Delayed – occur only after weeks of training
