14.what was the purpose for exercise in the 1970's-80s?: fitness
-obsession with health, beauty, youthfulness, sex appeal
15.what were the exercise recommendations during the 1970-80s?: 20 minutes of vigorous intensity 3+ days/week
16.What occurred in the mid 1990s?: paradigm switch from exercise for fitness to physical activity for health
17.physical activity guidelines for adults for SUBSTANTIAL health benefits (aerobic): at least 150 min/week
moderate intensity
or
75 min/week vigorous intensity aerobic
18.at what increments should physical activity be done?: episodes of at least 10 minutes spread throughout the
week
19.physical activity guidelines for adults for ADDITIONAL health benefits:: in- crease aerobic activity to 300
min/week moderate intensity
or
150 min/week vigorous intensity aerobic activity
+muscle strengthening activities on 2 or more days/week
20.physical activity guidelines for older adults: should be as physically active as their abilities and conditions allow
should do exercises that maintain or improve balance
21.physical activity guidelines for children and adolescents: 60 min+ daily aerobic
muscle and bone strengthening at least 3 days/week
22.what does measuring physical activity enable researchers to do?: 1. Spec- ify what aspects of PA are important
for a given health outcome
2. Monitor changes in PA over time
3. Monitor the effectiveness of an exercise intervention
4. Determine the prevalence of people meeting the PA recommendations
23.what are the 4 parameters to consider while measuring physical activity?-
: Frequency
Intensity Time
Type
24.the study of how a disease or health outcome is distributed in populations and what factors influence or
determine this distribution: epidemiology
