How much exercise is enough?

Let’s look at the evidence relating physical activity with health…
Outline
• Defining terms
• Physical activity vs. exercise
• Canadian recommendations for physical
activity
• How can we achieve these guidelines
• Consequences of inactivity – the evidence
• The future of prescribed exercise

Question – fact or fiction:
Does physical activity provide
benefits to only the physical
body?
http://www.kaiserquotes.com/blog/wp-

Insurance_XL.jpg
The Mayo clinic suggests that
mechanistically speaking physical
activity is able to improve mental
health three ways:
1. brain chemicals
(endorphins &
neurotransmitters)
2. immune system markers
3. body temperature
FICTION!
Physical
activity does
not just
promote
physical
fitness but
mental
wellness as
well.
Outline
• Defining terms
• Physical activity & exercise vs. inactivity
• Canadian recommendations for physical
activity
• How can we achieve these guidelines
• Consequences of inactivity – the evidence
• The future of prescribed exercise
Physical Activity
“Any bodily movement produced by the
contraction of skeletal muscles that results in
a substantial increase over resting energy
expenditure.”
- ACSM
What does that mean?
http://fitnessbodybuilding.co.uk/images/1musclesatside.jpg
Skeletal Muscle – attaches
to and moves your bones
Resting Energy Expenditure
- estimated value of how
much energy your body
requires in a day at rest
http://img.ehowcdn.com/article-new/ds-
photo/getty/article/78/104/86500437_XS.jpg
Our definition of Physical Activity
Becomes…
• Any movement you make using your muscles
that requires more energy than your body
would need to lie on a couch

What comes to mind when you
hear exercise?
http://www.macrichmond.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/exercise-heart.gif
Exercise
“A type of physical activity consisting of
planned, structured, and repetitive bodily
movement done to improve or maintain one or
more components of physical fitness.”
- ASCM
Our Definition of Exercise Becomes…
• A planned or organized workout you do in
order improve aspects of fitness such as
flexibility or cardiovascular endurance

Physical Inactivity
“A lack of physical activity…currently the 4th
leading risk factor for mortality worldwide.”
- WHO
Outline
• Defining terms
• Physical activity & exercise vs. inactivity
• Canadian recommendations for physical
activity
• How can we achieve these guidelines
• Consequences of inactivity – the evidence
• The future of prescribed exercise
Canadian Recommendations
“All healthy adults aged 18-65 need
moderate intensity physical activity for a
minimum of 30 minutes five days per week”
*Or a total of 150 minutes/week
http://media.coreperformance.com/images/411*308/people-who-take-the-stairs-
are-fitter-and-more-productive.jpg
Intensity
• Moderate intensity exercise for 150 minutes a
week
Intensity Example Activity Affect on breathing Affect on body
temperature
Sitting Watching TV Normal Normal
Very light Effort Dusting Normal Normal
Light Effort Light Gardening Slight Increase Start to Feel Warm
Moderate Effort Brisk Walking Greater Increase Warmer
Vigorous Effort Jogging More out of breath Quite Warm
Very Hard Effort Fast Run Greater Increase Hot/Sweating
Maximal Effort All-Out Sprint Completely Out of
Breath
Sweating/Very Hot

Question - Fact or fiction?
Is aerobic training
– the classic
running, walking,
or biking the
only way to
achieve health
benefits from
exercise?
http://armstrongpodnsportshealth.files.wordpress.com/2
010/12/evelyn_musclepose1.jpg
FICTION!
Resistance also known as
strength training has recently
been proven to show important
health benefits that are not
gained from aerobic training.
A study conducted by
researchers from the Centre for
Hip Health and Mobility
(Vancouver), recently found that
women that did strength
training showed lasting
improved cognitive function and
functional brain plasticity, while
the women doing other forms of
exercise did not.

5 Ways to Increase Daily Physical Activity
#1 Choose the parking space farthest away
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/202/490057821_c43bda0d79.jpg
#2 Take the stairs instead
of the elevator
http://www.summitsofcanada.ca/canatrek/graphics/pix/banner-TakeTheStairs.jpg
#3 Grocery shop with
a basket instead of
a buggy
http://watermarked.cutcaster.com/cutcaster-photo-100810270-Grocery-store-
shopping-Basket-with-food.jpg
#4 Go for a walk – with friends, colleagues, or
a pet!

content/uploads/2012/09/walkingmeeting500x350.jpg
http://www.chicagonow.com/katalin-fitness-health-
driven/files/2011/07/948c6_exercise-ball-in-office.jpg
#5 Sit on an exercise ball
instead of a chair
http://www.modernmom.com/sites/default/files/featured/article/03/blood_type-exercise_article.jpg
Question - Fact or fiction?
Do you have to engage in
organized exercise for 150
minutes a week to be
considered physically
active?
can CDC, 2011
FICTION! Remember, physical
activity DOES NOT have to be
organized exercise

Let’s look at some facts from the evidence
#1 About one-third to one-half of the world’s
adult population is insufficiently physically
active
(WHO)
http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed2/192/1922729/46_2009/3f52b5f0448c5aa0_dv2014006.pr

adults-are-not-doing-enough-physical-activity-causing-5.3-million-deaths-a-
year.jpg
#2 Physical inactivity is a major contributor to
death and disability from non-communicable
diseases (NCDs) worldwide
Warburton, Health benefits of PA: the evidence. CMAJ 2006
#3 Many Canadian deaths are attributed to
physical inactivity
(CMAJ, 2000)
The Economic Burden of Physical Inactivity, Peter T. Katzmarzyk,* Norman Gledhill,* Roy J. Shephard, 2000
#4 Musculoskeletal fitness is shown to reduce the
risk of falling
Shaw & Snow, 1998; Campbell et al., 1999; Buchner et al., 1997
#5 Physical activity has been proven to slow
the early memory decline in Alzheimer’s
Disease
http://www.alz.org/braintour/images/alzheimer_brain.jpg
Are There Risks?
• More is not always better
• Overuse injuries
• Most gains are in the first bout of exercise
• Acute risks of exercise
• Risk of training:
•Men 1 SD per 1.51 million episodes of exertion
• Always consult your doctor before beginning
an exercise program
Question - fact or fiction:
Does getting enough
physical activity
automatically mean
you will get the body
of your dreams?
http://jesscw.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/body-types.jpg
FICTION! Of course not. Our bodies depend on how we treat them –
things like what we eat, how much we exercise and how much we sleep
– and our genetics. Every person is coded to have a different body type.
Outline
• Defining terms
• Physical activity & exercise vs. inactivity
• Canadian recommendations for physical
activity
• How can we achieve these guidelines
• Consequences of inactivity – the evidence
• The future of prescribed exercise
Physical Activity – A Prescription?
• Pedometer based study
• Showed a decrease in blood pressure & increase
in walking time
• Exercise…
• If your doctor says so
• Physical activity is preventative medicine
Take Away Messages
• This presentation is not intended to promote
or discredit a specific mode of exercise
• Activity doesn’t have to been organized
exercise programs
• In terms of activity something is better than
nothing
• Inactivity is associated with a higher rate of
mortality & morbidity
“Lack of activity destroys the good condition
of every human being while movement and
methodical physical exercise save it and
preserve it”
