|---|---|
| Aerobic exercise? | Continuous, rhythmic physical activity that increases heart rate and oxygen consumption Ex) running, cycling, swimming, brisk walking, dancing |
| Benefits of regular exercise? | Improves cardiovascular and respiratory function Reduces risk of chronic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, obesity) Enhances mental health (reduces anxiety/depression, improves mood) Promotes healthy weight management Strengthens bones and muscles I |
| Recommended amounts/types of exercise? | Moderate-intensity: >150 min/week (brisk walking Vigorous-intensity: >75 min/week (running, HIIT) Strength training >days/week |
| “HIIT”? (High-Intensity Interval Training) Benefits? | Efficient calorie burning, improved cardiovascular fitness, increased metabolic rate |
| determinants of regular exercise | Individual factors: Motivation, self-efficacy, fitness level Setting factors: accessibility of gyms/parks, social support Interventions: exercise programs, goal setting, reinforcement strategies |
| Accident prevention | Home: prevent falls, secure rugs, smoke detectors Workplace: safety training, protective equipment Motorcycle and automobile: wear helmet/seat belts, avoid distracted driving |

| Colorectal screening | detects colon cancer early, recommended starting age varies (often 45+) via colonoscopy or stool tests |
| Sleep | sufficient amount: 7-9 hours pernight for adults |
| stages (cognitive/physiological gains made by reaching certain stages) | NREM: Physical restoration, growth, immune function REM: Cognitive restoration, memory consolidation, emotional processing |
| What characteristics do “health-compromising behaviors” have in common? | Short-term rewards, long-term risks, often addictive/habitual, socially influenced |
| hormones that control eating | Ghrelin hunger hormone, increases appetite Leptin signals satiety, decreases appetite |

| “Obesity will soon account for more deaths and disease in the U.S. than ___________ ” what? | smoking |
| Set point theory of weight | body has a biologically determined weight range it tries to maintain |
| Dieting, especially yo-yo dieting, can lower the metabolic rate, leading to what negative results? | Frequent dieting lowers metabolic rate – harder to maintain weight, potential fat gain |
| Caloric intake daily range suggestions: | Sedentary: ~1,800-2,200kcal Active: ~2,200-2,800 kcal |
| One pound gained = approx. ________ extra calories | 3,500 |

| Bulimia: | binge eating followed by compensatory behavior |
| binge eating: | recurrent binge eating without purging |
| smoking | Effects: cancer, heart disease, lung disease |
| Synergistic effects: smoking + other risk factors amplify | health risks |
| Stress | physical and psychological response to internal/external demands |
| Distress vs Eustress | Distress: negative stress, harmful Eustress: positive stress, motivating |
| Chronic stress impact | Suppresses immunity, increases risk for chronic disease, impairs cognition |
| “Allostatic Load” | cumulative wear and tear on the body from chronic stress |
| Walter Cannon’s Fight or Flight response | physiological preparation for danger |
| S.E. Taylor and friends tend-and-befriend theory | stress response in women, involves social bonding |
| Coping style: | avoidant coping style minimizing, ignoring problems – less effective long-term approach coping style confronting problems – generally more effective, vigilant – searching for threats to prevent negative outcomes problem focused coping addressing the sou |
