People with more money tend to be more physically active. Reguardless of income, there is still an ethnic disparity reguarding who is more physically active. This has to do with intersectionalty.

Walking and gardening

Answer 8

Smoking Alcohol Physical inactivity Diet ## Footnote Smoking and physical inactivity are equal in reguard to how they shorten lifespan on average.

Answer 9

-Blood flow is shunted away from the gut towards the working muscles - increase in ventilation and cardiovascular output - enhanced delivery of oxygen (and other substrates) to working muscles enhanced neural response --> body can process neural input and react/respond more efficiently

Answer 10

The main distinction is that muscular training increases muscle size (hypertrophy) and bone density to a greater extent. In addition, the benefits to cardiorespiratory function are inferior unless the resistance training is offered in the form of HIIT – this form of training has a cardiovascular effect on the body.

Answer 11

High-intensity interval training HIIT requires you to work “all out” for brief periods of 30-45 seconds, interspersed with recovery periods of about five minutes, repeated approximately 2-4 times. Because it’s done at such a high intensity, you can have a successful workout in as little as 15-20 minutes.

Answer 12

HIIT is high intensity for short periods with longer breaks LIIT is Lower intensity with shorter breaks inbetween. Continuous is one long bout with no breaks at low intensity.

Answer 13

Though uncommon, in my lab we’ve had people be ill, feel faint, and – very rarely – pass out during a single 30-second “super-maximal” exercise. While the benefits still outweigh the risks for most people, HIIT has also been linked to greater risk of injury.

Answer 14

Not only does HIIT promise to improve overall health and fitness, it can also be done in a short amount of time.

Answer 15

you can still achieve similar fitness results to HIIT, but with lower risk of injury.

Answer 16

RT – resistance training CV – cardiovascular endurance

Answer 17

HDL: high-density lipoprotein – “good” cholesterol – want this to be higher

Answer 18

LDL: low-density lipoprotein – “bad” cholesterol – want this to be lower

Answer 19

triglycerides: type of fat cell in the blood; higher levels are unfavorable

Answer 20

Canada is just slightly above global average for average number of weekly exercise hours, at 6.6hr/wk

Answer 21

WHO recommendations of 300min/wk (5hr) or 150min/wk (2.5hr) of vigorous activity

Answer 22

BUT need to understand that foods higher in fibre, protein, fat will be lower in glycemic index, and refined carbohydrates will have a higher glycemic index.
