KPER 1200 (KPER1200)

Our Design Correct Answer: Humans have evolved to be physically active. The human body responds well to the physical demands of PA. The human body does not respond well to being sedentary. Our very survival has depended on physical activity for most of our existence Selective pressures Correct Answer: Environmental factor that affects the reproduction capabilities of a species Environmental mismatch Correct Answer: The selective pressures that favoured a capacity for physical activity a...

in 2013 what was the #1 ranked thing that killed us? Correct Answer: cancer what does all-cause mortality mean? Correct Answer: death by any cause (cancer, heart attack, stroke, etc) what was the nurses' health study? Correct Answer: -a prospective study that began in 1976 and is still continuing today -meant to determine what factors influence womens health -also to determine long term health effects of using the pill In the physical activity and mortality: a prospective study ...

All-Cause Mortality Correct Answer: - Death by any cause (ex. heart disease) Research: - Null Hypothesis: > PA does NOT affect the risk of all-cause mortality - Alternative Hypothesis: > PA reduces the risk of all-cause mortality Nurses' Health Study (Case Study) Correct Answer: - Prospective Study - Began in 1976 with female nurses -Still going strong (they have a website to sign up) - Primary motivation was to investigate birth control effects - Chose nurses' because t...

Canadian Health Measures Survey, what did they do Correct Answer: 1. Analyzed accelerometer data from 2007-2009 CHMS wave 2. Counted the % of people who were active each day PA levels in Children Correct Answer: Approximately a third of children and youth in Canada meet the physical activity recommendations with the 24 hour movement guidelines for children and youth Canadian 24-hour Managemnet Guidelines 0-4 Years Correct Answer: - infants, need to be active several times daily - to...

what are the 4 components of the Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines? Correct Answer: -sweating -stepping -sleeping -sitting of the 4 components of the 24-hour movement guidelines, which one should we spend the most time in? and the least time? Correct Answer: most: sleeping least: sitting how were the Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines developed? Correct Answer: through a systematic process that got published in November of 2017 -took two years to complete (2015-2017) wha...

systematic reviews Correct Answer: a review of the literature that collects and critically analyzes multiple research studies using pre determined criteria for selecting studies meta analysis review Correct Answer: using statistical methods to combine evidence from multiple studies all-cause mortality Correct Answer: death by any cause physical activity levels and all-cause mortality relationship Correct Answer: - inverse/negative relationship - 20-30% reduction in risk - more inc...

Why do we study the relationship between PA and health/wellness? Reason 1 Correct Answer: - because humans have evolved to be physically active Why do we study the relationship between PA and health/wellness? Reason 2 Correct Answer: - because our environment no longer fulfills our need for PA - we are now in a toxic environment that prevents us from moving (cars, busses, computers, lack of bike/walk lanes, robotic vacuums) - human advances in agriculture and industry ave created a trend...

Reasons to Study PERS 1200 Correct Answer: 1. Humans have evolved to be physically active - humans needed to be able to do various vigorous physical tasks in order to survive (Darwin's evolutionary theory) 2. We live in a toxic environment - Humans used to have to work a lot harder to get the required resources to survive but now we have easy access which causes us to be less physically active. We now perform physically activity to get rid of excess energy, rather when we used to do physica...

All-cause mortality Correct Answer: death by any cause: cancer, heart attack, stroke What is the Nurses' Health Study? Correct Answer: Prospective study, began in 1976 with 121,700 female nurses What did Nurses' Health Study do? Correct Answer: Collected data, identified participants death by searching the National Dealth Index based on physical activity How was PA accessed in the Nurses' Health Study? Correct Answer: Through different self-reports 1980: Average hours spent on d...

4 broad reasons for why we study PA Correct Answer: 1) Our Design 2) Environmental Mismatch 3) PA is important for physical health 4) PA goes beyond physical health Our Design Correct Answer: - Humans have evolved to be physically active, we are designed to move around. - ex. Plants are not made to move around - ex. Kangaroo is designed to move around at high speeds - Humans have muscles, long arms and legs (no roots) so moving around is important. - The human body responds well to...
