BIOL 380 – Lecture 12: Nutrition and physical activity
- Physical activity: any movement produced by muscles that increases energy expenditure
oLeisure-time physical activity: any activity unrelated to a person’s occupation
Competitive sports
Recreational: hiking, walking and biking
Exercise: purposeful, planned and structured
- Physical fitness: state of being from interaction between nutrition and physical activity
oE.g., cardiorespiratory fitness, musculoskeletal fitness and flexibility
Benefits of physical activity
- Reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure
oStrengthens heart
oIncreases HDL – lowers triglycerides
- Reduces the risk for obesity and type II diabetes
oGreater lean body mass
oEnhances insulin production
- Reduces the risk for osteoporosis
oStresses and enhances bone formation; strengthens muscle and bone
- May reduce the risk of colon cancer
oIncreases gastric motility (more regular = decrease risk of colon cancer)
- Improves sleep patterns and immune function
oReduces anxiety and mental stress
3 components of fitness
Sound fitness program
1. Meets personal goals
2. Is varied, consistent and fun
3. Appropriately overloads the body
4. Includes a warm up and cool down period (preventive measure)
Canadian physical activity guidelines: inc endurance, inc flexibility, inc strength resistance, and decrease

1. Sound fitness program meets personal goals
oCardiorespiratory musculoskeletal and flexibility plans
oMaintain overall health – follow Canadian physical activity guidelines
2. Sound fitness progam is varied, consistent and fun
oOutdoor activities – hiking, camping, fishing and rock climbing
oExercising with friends
oIndoor activities – gym, weights, treadmill
oCanadian physical activity guide recommends for the type and amount of activity that
should be done weekly
3. Sound fitness program appropriately overloads the body
- Overload principle: additional physical demands on the body to improve fitness
oToo much physical exertion is NOT recommended
oExercise below limits but until you feel the fatigue, sweat, increase breathing and heart
rates
oHypertrophy is the gain in muscle strength and size
oThe FIT principle can be used to determine appropriate overload
The FIT Principle
-Frequency: number of activity sessions per week
-Intensity: amount of effort expended or how difficult the activity is to perform (low, moderate
or high)
oIntensity can be measured by
Estimating maximal heart rate
Borg scale of perceived exertion: rating
of perceived exertion (or RPE)
-Time of activity: how long each session lasts

4. 4. Sound fitness program
includes a warm up and a cool down period
- To prepare for and recover from an exercise session
oWarm up prepares a person for the activity (5-10 mins)
Stretching, calisthenics and resistance training without external weights
Helps improve circulation
Helps improve freedom of movement
Prevents injury
- Cool down helps to prevent injuries and may reduce muscle soreness
Fuel for physical activity

Document Summary

Biol 380 lecture 12: nutrition and physical activity. Physical activity: any movement produced by muscles that increases energy expenditure: leisure-time physical activity: any activity unrelated to a person"s occupation. Physical fitness: state of being from interaction between nutrition and physical activity: e. g. , cardiorespiratory fitness, musculoskeletal fitness and flexibility. Reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure: strengthens heart, increases hdl lowers triglycerides. Reduces the risk for obesity and type ii diabetes: greater lean body mass, enhances insulin production. Reduces the risk for osteoporosis: stresses and enhances bone formation; strengthens muscle and bone. May reduce the risk of colon cancer: increases gastric motility (more regular = decrease risk of colon cancer) Improves sleep patterns and immune function: reduces anxiety and mental stress. Is varied, consistent and fun: appropriately overloads the body. Includes a warm up and cool down period (preventive measure) Canadian physical activity guidelines: inc endurance, inc flexibility, inc strength resistance, and decrease couch potato.
