“To propose a physical activity intervention at the University of Roehampton” Mishal, Sarahleen, Yamikani, Albird, Cristina, Yasmin, Michelle, Hajar Introduction: Insufficient physical activity is one the leading risk factors for global mortality. Physical activity not only contributes to wellbeing, it is essential for good health. Increasing physical activity levels can help prevent or manage many conditions and diseases; this includes coronary heart disease, diabetes, some cancers and obesity along with improving mental health. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), physical activity is any bodily movement by muscles that requires energy expenditure. Aims: • To discover issues related to physical activities • To explore some opportunities for physical activity already available in the area • To find out solutions of the issues related to physical activities • To generate ideas that will encourage people to take part in physical activity Objectives: • To investigate through different articles from NHS and WHO, the levels of physical activity necessary for different age groups • To look at different journals to find out how physical activity can be increased • To identify sources which tell us about different issues of people • To create a survey for public to attain knowledge about their level of physical activity, issues and preference. • To recognise different sources which can help in formulating solutions in order to encourage people to perform physical
Relate importance of topic to audience: Exercise prevents health problems and protects your body from damage. I'd like to show you that we're all in need of exercise. Now is the time to get Overview started so that we can enjoy the health and psychological benefits the rest of our lives.

Physical activity is an integral part of health and well being in children.Our bodies also require physical activity in order to be healthy.Understanding and supporting physical activity, will help children have the right foundation for a healthy and happy life.Positive experiences with physical activity at a young age promotes the growth if strong bones and muscles, help to develop good posture and balance, obesity risk and chronic disease risk infection are reduced.
Central Idea: Exercise and physical activity are a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun.
Exercise or activity can improve your long term health and prevent risk of several diseases. The German Research
The problem identify at the facility New Community in Newark, New Jersey is the lack of exercise programs in the community. In addition, there is a lack of participation among the patients that are physically capable to join in the daily exercises. The facility has an exercise program that they offer, but the patients are reluctant to participant during the times they offer it. The patients have stated that they are unable to perform the exercises or the exercises are uninteresting.
Globally, around 31% of adults aged 15 and over were insufficiently active in 2008 (men 28% and women 34%). Approximately 3.2 million deaths each year are attributable to insufficient physical activity (WHO, 2013). Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that require energy expenditure (WHO, 2013). Physical inactivity is estimated to be the main cause for approximately 27% of those who have diabetes (WHO, 2013). In order to globally take control over this worldwide epidemic of type 2 diabetes, physical activity needs to become a daily activity in each and everyone’s lives. Physical activity is extremely important as it helps keep blood glucose, blood pressure, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides in check. It helps lower the risks of type 2 diabetes (WHO, 2013).
Exercise plays a beneficial role for many health concerns in general and improves quality of life
Physical Activity (PA) has many benefits on our health, and importance of this has to be clearly communicated (House of Commons Health Committee 2015). Therefore, the purpose of this report is to discuss relationship between PA, health and diseases along with specific references to the current United Kingdom (UK) health status. This report will also explain two examples of social determinants of health, to show the impact failing to reach government guidelines has on remaining healthy.
A limitation of cross sectional studies is that the design is reliant on data which has been collected for other purposes and methods adopted cannot be controlled or changed. Studies analysed in this aimed to find methods of improving physical fitness and counteract inactivity with the use of pedometers and participants were selected via convenience and volunteer sampling (Proença et al, 2012, Zabatiero et al., 2013)).Thus participants who volunteered were most likely to have been physically active, have greater exercise capacity and thus more willing to take part than those who were less physically active. This contradicts this study as researchers are trying to find a full representation of different levels of physical activities and exercise capacity within the elderly population. This is a limitation as it does not provide full representation of elderly population and does not account for those who have been physically fit but less active. As a result, this study lacks internal and external validity as it has poor generalisability and participants are not fully representative of the general elderly
I agree and support the intervention of the task force on the community preventive services through the entire communal campaigns .The campaigns would strategies on the effective measures to motivate and increase physical activity among the adults and children to enhance individual health within the society. The decision to involve the task force in the campaign of the physical activity is positive since regular physical activity is attributed to enhance human health and reduced risk of all-cause mortality. Regular physical activity improves aerobic capacity, muscular strength, body agility and coordination, lipid profiles, insulin level metabolic and immune function. Individuals who are physically fit have a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular
Our third week of the physical activity intervention has been the most successful so far out of the first two weeks. My group members and I were able to obtain much more data on student’s height and weight in the third week due to class rosters that were given to us by Ms. Moser to easily find and organize students in their physical activity class. My group members and I are doing well in our intervention and we met up to discuss on how our research project is going along and how everyone is doing in their part of the project. My group members and I only have one more week for the intervention, so a challenge for the last week of the intervention would be to promote and motivate the students to continue their engagement in physical activity after the program is over. If my group members and
Why people exercise I. Introduction A. Background B.
