Question 4: How times have changed• Hunter gatherer 90-130 KJ/kg/d • Office worker- 37 KJ/kg/d • Fitness enthusiast- running at 12kph for 60min/d = 82/KJ/dArguing that even the fittest only achieve 65-95% of what the body needs
Question 5: ¨Physical (fitness) conditioning is inversely related to all-cause mortality..and morbidity.Use an index of aerobic conditioning (First longitudinal study (Blair, 1989)) usually VO2max, but also HR recovery, (Cole et al, 1999) METs (Mora et al 2003) and musculoskeletal fitness (Katzmarzyk & Craig, 2002).
Blair et al (1989) Aerobics Centre Longitudinal StudyMax treadmill test conducted 10000< men and 3000< women Divided into groups of fitness 1 - lowest 5 - highest Decided on time to exhaustion Result: lowest fitness levels associated with higher risk of death
Health Guidelines for 19-64 year olds 150 mins of moderate exercise a week Or 2x 75 mins vigorous exercise Strength Training x2 a week min reduce sedentary behaviour
Benefits for following guidelines Reduces risk of mortality Recudes risk of getting a stroke CHD diabetes and cancer Improves VO2 max Bone density remains
