3 Objectives Describe the public health risks and economic impact of physical inactivity in the US Describe the relationships between types of physical activity and personal health Discuss clinical strategies for translating known research outcomes about health and physical activity to patient care settings Identify the resources available to assist health care providers with incorporating physical activity into every patient interaction

4 The 2008 estimates were modeled from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), which uses self-reported data from state-based adult telephone surveys, and 2007 census information.

5 The Cost of Inactivity Estimated that 250,000 premature deaths annually in the U.S are attributed to physical inactivity. Physical activity and obesity are second only to tobacco use as the leading causes of preventable death in the U.S. Booth et al. Waging war on modern chronic diseases: primary prevention through exercise biology. JAP; 88: ; 2000.

6 Cost of Chronic Disease Chronic disease afflicts 90 million Americans. In 1990 chronic diseases cost the American public 2/3 of a trillion dollars in health care expenses. CHD, Obesity, and Diabetes alone costs us nearly 1/2 a trillion dollars each year. Booth et al. Waging war on modern chronic diseases: primary prevention through exercise biology. JAP; 88: ; 2000.

8 Hippocrates 460 BC All parts of the body which have a function if used in moderation and exercised in labors in which each is accustomed, become thereby healthy, well developed and age more slowly; but if unused and left idle they become liable to disease, defective in growth and age quickly.

9 Surgeon General States Inactivity is detrimental to your health! Physical Activity and Health. A Report of the Surgeon General. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

10 There is a need for a wellrounded exercise program Endurance Flexibility Balance Strength Cress et al. Best practices statement. Physical activity programs and behavior counseling in older adult populations. Med Sci Sport Exerc, 2004: Nelson et al. Physical activity and public health in older adults: recommendation from the American College of Sport Medicine and the American Heart Association.. Med Sci Sport Exerc, 8: ;2007

11 Endurance

12 Physical activity can cardiovascular disease risk factors cholesterol and good cholesterol (HDL) blood pressure blood sugar and type II diabetes weight and abdominal obesity risk of some cancers breast cancer colon cancer may risk of endometrial and lung cancer improve mental health and mood ability to perform activities of daily living balance to prevent falls risk of dementia ultimately chances of living longer disease free and improve the quality of life Booth, F. et al.

13 Physical Inactivity and Health Osteoporosis/Osteoarthritis Diabetes Mellitus Prevention of Weight Gain CHD Stroke Musculoskeletal Injury Functional Health Status Activity

14 All people over the age of 2 years should accumulate at least 30 minutes of endurance type physical activity, of at least moderate intensity, on most preferably all days of the week. In the report of the Surgeon General, 1996

15 Recent research has found that 30 minutes of activity does not have to be completed all at one time. Health benefits can still be obtained when activity is accumulated throughout the day. For example 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at lunch, and 10 minutes in the evening. Murphy et al. Med Sci Spots Exer 34:2002

17

18 Pedometers Pedometers may be a way to help motivate and get individuals more aware of their activity levels. Recent guidelines have recommended 10,000 steps/day for health benefits in adults. It is recommended that a 2-week baseline of steps is measured and then a 10% increase in number of steps per week can be made until desired level is attained. Swartz, A.M., et al. Prev Med, 2003; 37: Tudor-Locke, C.E., et al. Patient Educ Couns; (1): 23-8

19 Flexibility

20

21 Benefits of Flexibility Resistance to injuries Decreases in lower back pain Improved posture Improvement in range of motion

22 Flexibility Flexibility-related activities facilitate greater ranges of motion around the joint. Flexibility activities can be conveniently incorporated into the office routine while sitting at a computer or at home watching television.

23

24 Balance

25 Balance exercises help keep individuals independent by helping to avoid disabilities that may be caused by falling.

26

27 Strength

28 Strength Training can: Strength Muscle mass or maintain bone density Ability to perform ADL Resistance to injuries and falls Self-esteem Risk of some CVD risk factors Singh, M. A. F.
