Document Summary

Leisure: doing activity for sake of activity itself. Low activity results in negative health consequences. Cant imporve fitness without pa, but can do pa without being physically fit. Acute: immediate response so that pa can be performed. Start running: hr increase, respiration increase, bp increase. Pa levels have changed greatly; genes/dna have not changed. 150 min of mod activity or 75 min of vigorous (per week) Resistance training is a part of current. Weakness of sg report: did not include resistance training. Results in lak of blook flow and oxygen to cardiac muscle. Risk factors for ha (dont need to know numbers, just factors) Lower blood pressure is not a mechanisms to reduce heart disease. It is outcome of mechanism: pa increase fat oxidation. Pa so important because we have most control over it. Cardiovascular fitness is better predictor of all cause mortality than fatness/overweight. If fit/overweight or obese, you have less death risk than thin/poor fitness.
