Then vs Now…• Before 1900’s…pneumonia • Followed by infectious diseases
• Research = cures for most (vaccines).
Now: #1 Heart disease .
#2 Cancer .
#3 Stroke

Cardiovascular Diseases
• Issues with Heart and/or blood vessels
• 1 in 4 Americans affected.
• Primary Risk Factors vs Secondary
• Sedentary lifestyle• Smoking• High cholestrol• Diabetes• obesity
• Lesser cause• Most important/greatest/most common cause
• Stress• Alcohol use

ATHEROSCLEROSIS• Clogged arteries
• Fats/cholesterol build-up
• Narrows passageway
• Forces heart to WORK HARDER

HEART ATTACK• Blood supply to heart is cut off or reduced
• Damage to heart muscle
• Main causes: atherosclerosis; blood clots; spasms in artery.

STROKE• Oxygen to brain is severely reduced or totally
cut off.
• Atherosclerosis or blood clots• May lose ability to move, speak, think, etc.
• Major or minor strokes possible.• “predisposition”
• “bursts”

High Blood Pressure• B.P. is when blood pushes through arteries
with each beat of the heart
• PRIMARY reason of cardiovascular disease and strokes.
• Family history; race; age all contributing factors.
• 2 readings: systolic = top number pressure just AFTER heart beat
Diastolic = bottom number pressure just before heart beat
• AKA= Hypertension
Stress can be a factor!

CANCER
• Over 100 different types
• #2 Leading cause of death
• Uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells.• Steals their nutrition• Interferes with normal function
• Active people RANK LOWER in death rates.
• Breast & Colon fall under “hypokinetic”
![Page 11: BENEFITS OF BEING ACTIVE Reducing your risks and Increasing personal wellness](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551abbea550346b2288b50ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DIABETES
• Body can’t regulate sugar levels.
• Medical help needed to regulate.
• Over time: damage to blood vessels, heart, kidneys, eyes (blindness).
• Excessive levels can cause coma/death.
![Page 12: BENEFITS OF BEING ACTIVE Reducing your risks and Increasing personal wellness](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551abbea550346b2288b50ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TYPE I vs. TYPE II
• Not considered hypokinetic
• Heredity is issue…gets risk factor from BOTH parents
• Needs insulin to help control blood sugar.
• Considered hypokinetic
• MOST COMMON• Affects about 10% of diabetics
• Used to be called “Adult Onset”
• Physical activity can reduce risk
• Being active at early age = better blood sugar levels.

OBESITY
• 1980’s teen rate @ 5%
• 2010 teen rate @ 14%
• 300% increase

OSTEOPOROIS• Bone deterioration
• Common in adult women due to hormone changes….body can’t absorb calcium
• Begins in young adults…”PEAK BONE MASS”
• Activity helps create strong bone mass.• Lack of dairy when young…lessens Peak Bone
Mass” development
• Porous bones w/ age…..

10KEY
POINTS to
remember
Reducing risks of
hypokinetic
conditions:
![Page 16: BENEFITS OF BEING ACTIVE Reducing your risks and Increasing personal wellness](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551abbea550346b2288b50ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HEALTHY BACK=GOOD POSTURE
• Hypokinetic due to weak/short back and ab. muscles
• Need body balance= biomechanical concept.
• “out of whack”…one side weak and long, other short and strong.
![Page 17: BENEFITS OF BEING ACTIVE Reducing your risks and Increasing personal wellness](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551abbea550346b2288b50ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Back Issues:
• Lordosis: • Too much arch in lower
back a.k.a “swayback”…weak abs and hip flexors too strong
• Kyphosis: • Rounded
shoulders/back• “hunch” back
• Ptosis: • “drooping body part”• Protruding abs.

Biomechanical Lifting Principles:
• Use legs…not back
• Keep hips low…squat
• Divide the load…
• Avoid twisting when lifting…shift feet
• Push and pull vs lifting heavy objects
• Avoid bent over position when sitting or standing…
