  3. Chapter 8: Fitness Programs and Professions HPHE 1500 Dr. Ayers

  4. Introduction • Government focus on importance of health & PA* • Healthy People 2000 (1991) • Surgeon General’s Report on PA & Health (1996) • Healthy People 2010 (2000) • Healthy People 2020 (2010) • National health objectives tracked for progress (T 8.1) • Overarching goals relative to national health: • Improve health of all people • Eliminate health disparities between groups

  5. Fitness Levels Among Children and Youth • Fitness of U.S. youth questioned since the 1950’s • Comparisons across decades difficult/inappropriate • Changing definitions of “fitness” • Different types of tests used • Shift in focus: as reflected in your personal fitness plans • FROM: Improving fitness (outcome) • TO: Increasing PA (process) • Today’s youth underperform on: • Body composition (↑ levels of overweight/obesity) • Aerobic capacity

  6. One’s health and fitness . . .personal responsibility? (Box 8.1, p. 187) * What about the environment in which we live (that we have created for ourselves)? What, how, where, and how much do we eat? How has PA been squeezed out of daily life? So what? Measures of childhood health/PA are predictive!

  7. PA Patterns Among Children and Youth • Sample key findings • HR readings indicate most are meeting ACSM’s recommendations for adult PA levels • Most do not get regular PE from a specialist • Only half of 12-21 year-olds engage in vigorous PA regularly; 25% never do so • Boys are more active than girls • 6-11 year-olds are the most active population group

  8. Steepest PA decline occurs between ages 12-17 • Only 21% of adolescents participate in school Physical Education 1 or more days a week • WHY? * • Reduced access (“exclusionary” sport model) • Competing interests • “It’s no longer fun” • Alternative activity choices

  9. What factors motivate adolescents? * • Body shape, looks • Managing stress • Peer approval • Desire for independence From Sallis (1994) • Inactive teens become inactive adults . . .

  10. Fitness & PA Levels Among Adults • Difficult to assess/estimate fitness & PA levels • Can be viewed from various perspectives: • PA estimates range widely . . . (Fig. 8.1, p. 191) • Patterns of CVD risk factors among adults (Box 8.2, p. 192) • Inactive adults are twice as likely to die from CVD than active adults • PA level is a more critical health indicator than fitness test results

  11. Health at Every Size (www.welcoa.org) • Self-acceptance • Physical activity • Normalized eating (base intake on physiological hunger & fullness) • Older adults, the good news: • Live longer • Are increasing PA levels • More commonly participating in resistance exercise • Older adults, the bad news: • 85% of the 65+ age group 1+ one chronic disease • 35-50% women 70+ have mobility problems • Incur the highest amount of health-care costs

  12. Fitness & PA Programs for Children and Youth • Importance of school Physical Education programs is recognized by parents & federal government • CDC’s guidelines targets schools, delivery of Physical Education and Health Education programs, policies, personnel, environment/infrastructure, training of personnel, parental involvement, and evaluation as key elements (Box 8.4, p. 197) • School Physical Education programs alone cannot meet all guidelines • PA opportunities must be created for all youth throughout communities

  13. Examples of creative program expansions*: • Use of school-wide daily PA breaks • Fitness remediation programs • Four year fitness program • Daily fitness programs • In-school fitness centers • State-requirement approach • School fitness clubs • Required fitness courses • Elective fitness courses

  14. Fitness & PA for People With Disabilities • Historically, PA programs had a rehab/medical focus • Current efforts target people’s health • Often, major barriers prevent access to PA • With accommodations in place, PA health benefits realistic for people with disabilities • PL 94-142 has helped increase sport & other PA levels*
