Revisiting the context
What is ‘physical activity’?
Includes all forms of activity that are performed without the specific purpose of fitness or health- occupational- recreational- sports-related
What is ‘exercise’?
An activity for the express purpose of improving fitness or health

Revisiting the context
Different types of exercise:
Aerobic (e.g., walking, swimming)
Anaerobic (e.g., sprinting)
Isotonic (e.g., lifting weights)
Resistance training- provides some form of resistance to the contracting muscles to stimulate strength increase
Stretching (should always be part of the exercise plan)

Revisiting the context
Terminology:
Aerobic- use of oxygen in the body’s metabolic process- glycogen is broken down to produce glucose, which then reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water- reaction releases energy
Anaerobic- initial phase of exercise or short bursts of intense exertion- glycogen is respired without oxygen (far less efficient process

Revisiting the context
Benefits of exercise:
Improves insulin sensitivity
Improves glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes
Decreases blood pressure
Decreases low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels
Increases high-density lipoprotein levels

Exercise Prescription
Exercise prescription generally includes the following recommendations:
Type of exercise or activity (e.g., walking, swimming, cycling)
Specific workloads (e.g., watts, walking speed)
Duration and frequency of the activity or exercise session
Intensity guidelines- target heart rate (THR) range- estimated rate of perceived exertion (RPE)
Precautions regarding orthopedic or other concerns
