The Brain and Physical Activity

“Evidence is mounting that each person’s capacity to master new and remember old

information is improved by biological changes in the brain brought on by

physical activity.”

Dr. John Ratey A User’s Guide to the Brain

When We Exercise

• Attention Increases

• Adrenaline Increases

• Blood Flow Increases

• Motivation Increases

When We Exercise

• Brain Chemicals Balance

• Hormones Balance• Electrical Currents

Balance• Neurotransmitters

Balance• System Functions

Despite the proven benefits of healthy eating

and physical activity …

• More than 50% of American adults do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits

• 25% of adults are not active at all in their leisure time

• One-third of students in grades 9-12 do not regularly engage in vigorous physical activity

• Daily participation in high school physical education classes dropped from 42% in 1991 to 33% in 2005

Obesity Trends in the United States

• The childhood obesity rate has doubled for pre-school children over the past 30 years

• The obesity rate has more than tripled for 6-11 year olds

• At present, approximately 9 million children over the age of 6 are considered obese

Muscular Strength Activities

• Do these activities a minimum of 2 days per week

• Do strengthening activities on nonconsecutive days

• Use resistance or weight to maximize strength development

The Benefits of Muscular Strength

• Reduces the risk of injury• Improves posture• Improves physical performance• Improves body composition• Slows bone loss as we age• Increases bone formation in young adults• Inverse relation between risk of all-cause

mortality

Muscle Tag

Objective: To learn the major muscle names and their location on the body.

Upper Body MusclesDeltoid

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic

• Aerobic Exercise: The body uses oxygen to create energy.

• The oxygen is needed to break down glucose.• Glucose is the fuel needed to create energy.• Examples: running, brisk walking, jogging,

swimming

• Anaerobic Exercise: The body creates the energy without oxygen.

• Examples: weight lifting, sprinting, any exercise with resistance

On Your Feet!

Time for “Toss Up Some Physical Activity”

The Desk Workout!

• Leg Extension: Extend your leg out in front of you, flex the foot, lift the leg, then lower it slowly.

• Writing the Alphabet: Lift the leg out parallel to the floor. Use proper directionality, top to bottom, and left to right, then “write” the alphabet.
