9 Fitness Benefits of Physical Activity Increased Increased heart and circulatory function and endurance, seen as a lower heart rate for a given activity and a lower resting heart rate heart and circulatory function and endurance, seen as a lower heart rate for a given activity and a lower resting heart rate muscular strength, seen as an ability to lift heavier loads or an increased ease in lifting lighter loads muscular strength, seen as an ability to lift heavier loads or an increased ease in lifting lighter loads muscular endurance, seen as the ability to execute more repetitions without rest muscular endurance, seen as the ability to execute more repetitions without rest

10 bone strength, seen as a decreased risk of fracture or injury bone strength, seen as a decreased risk of fracture or injury joint range of motion or flexibility, seen as an ability to reach or move into body positions impossible to attain previously joint range of motion or flexibility, seen as an ability to reach or move into body positions impossible to attain previously physical work capacity, seen as an ability to complete more work in a single bout (e.g., shovelling a driveway with lower risk of injury or adverse effect) physical work capacity, seen as an ability to complete more work in a single bout (e.g., shovelling a driveway with lower risk of injury or adverse effect) Improved body composition (more muscle, stronger bones, and less body fat) Improved body composition (more muscle, stronger bones, and less body fat)

11 Physical activity and exercise reduce the risk of diseases and conditions such as; heart attack or heart disease heart attack or heart disease second heart attack second heart attack stroke stroke colon, lung, breast, prostate, and many other cancers colon, lung, breast, prostate, and many other cancers high cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) high cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) high blood pressure (hypertension) high blood pressure (hypertension) type 2 diabetes type 2 diabetes osteoporosis (reduced bone density) osteoporosis (reduced bone density) pain pain arthritis and total hip or knee replacements arthritis and total hip or knee replacements depression and anxiety depression and anxiety sleep apnea sleep apnea improved nervous system (better neurons) improved nervous system (better neurons)

12 Physical activity and exercise can also result in benefits such as; improved pain tolerance improved pain tolerance improved self-esteem improved self-esteem improved immune system improved immune system better posture and balance better posture and balance decreased incidence of unintended falls decreased incidence of unintended falls greater energy greater energy improved sleeping habits improved sleeping habits faster recovery from injury or surgery faster recovery from injury or surgery increased high-density lipoproteins (HDL, or the “good” cholesterol) increased high-density lipoproteins (HDL, or the “good” cholesterol) increased potential to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight by burning calories increased potential to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight by burning calories improved work capacity improved work capacity

13 Mental-Emotional Benefits to Physical Activity develop social skills, such as sharing, taking turns, cooperating, and learning about winning and losing develop social skills, such as sharing, taking turns, cooperating, and learning about winning and losing develop physical skills, which contribute to a person’s self-efficacy develop physical skills, which contribute to a person’s self-efficacy develop a sense of belonging develop a sense of belonging increase opportunities to take on leadership roles, deal with adversity, and develop the ability to manage time increase opportunities to take on leadership roles, deal with adversity, and develop the ability to manage time
