Over the past several decade,s the rate of hypokinetic diseases
(disease in which risk increases with sedentary behavior) has
increased in the United States. In fact, approximately one-third
of United States children are either overweight or obese, and
Alabama is the state with the second-highest rates of obesity
and type II diabetes.
Exercise can serve as a protective factor for these types of
diseases; however, a large portion of the United States
population is inactive, and 50% of individuals who begin an
exercise program will drop out within six months.

you want to accomplish, you can focus your attention and
energy on what is important, and also avoid distractions. The
goal-setting process allows you to see your progress and take
pride in what you have accomplished. Throughout the course,
you will be able to monitor your progress and see how far you

Step one: - correct answer-The first step in the goal-setting
process is determining and setting your long-term goal for this
course. That is, you decide what you want to accomplish by the
end of the semester.
Students report a number of different reasons for enrolling in
physical activity and wellness courses, and these reasons can
be developed into long-term goals. Remember, when setting
long-term goals you should consider how the desired outcome
will impact your health and wellness. The goal should also be
something that is attainable, challenging, and measurable.
Here are a few sample reasons why students enroll in physical
activity courses. Listed with these are the formal long-term
goals.
step 2 - correct answer-The second step in the process is
creating a series of weekly short-term goals that will help you
advance toward achieving your long-term goal. When setting
short-term goals, set goals that are performance-based, not
outcome based. Performance-based goals are related to the
execution of the sport or activity, rather than a specific outcome
related to performance. For instance, "Practice my tennis serve
two days a week, outside of class." is a performance-based
goal, whereas, "Make 75% of my first serves during practice." is
an outcome-based goal.

reach your goals.
