Life Advice About Fitness and Exercise
Today, there is a growing emphasis on looking good, feeling good and living longer. Increasingly, scientific evidence tells us that one of the keys to achieving these ideals is fitness and exercise. But if you spend your days at a sedentary job and pass your evenings as a "couch potato," it may require some determination and commitment to make regular activity a part of your daily routine.
Equal Opportunity Benefits
Exercise is not just for Olympic hopefuls or supermodels. In fact, you're never too unfit, too young or too old to get started. Regardless of your age, gender or role in life, you can benefit from regular physical activity. If you're committed, exercise in combination with a sensible diet can help provide an overall sense of well-being and can even help prevent chronic illness, disability and premature death.
Some of the benefits of increased activity are:

Kramer, Nature, 1999• 60-75 year olds• Inactive individuals• Test (psychological and physical)• Long walks three times a week for 6m.• 5% - 7% increase in cardio-respiratory fitness• Up to 15% improvement in mental tests• Comparison group did stretching and toning
exercises using weights• Therefore, it’s the TYPE of exercise you do• Argues that effects are due to increasing blood
flow in the brain

Smoking cessation
• 281 smokers, randomly divided into control and experimental groups…
• E…12 sessions of smoking cessation + 3 exercise sessions + 3 health lectures/week
• C…12 sessions of smoking cessation• E twice as likely to be successful in giving up, and
staying off (12% after 60 weeks, cf 5% from C)• E quitters gained less weight than C quitters• May not be that strong (see other reviews)

Sleep better?

37%

U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health
• THE BENEFITS OF REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: • Regular physical activity that is performed on most days of the week
reduces the risk of developing or dying from some of the leading causes of illness and death in the United States. Regular physical activity improves health in the following ways:
• Reduces the risk of dying prematurely. • Reduces the risk of dying from heart disease. • Reduces the risk of developing diabetes. • Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure. • Helps reduce blood pressure in people who already have high blood
pressure. • Reduces the risk of developing colon cancer. • Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety. • Helps control weight. • Helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints. • Helps older adults become stronger and better able to move about without
falling. • Promotes psychological well-being.

U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health
……Mental Health• Physical activity appears to relieve symptoms of
depression and anxiety and improve mood. • Regular physical activity may reduce the risk of
developing depression, although further research is required on this topic.
Health-Related Quality of Life• Physical activity appears to improve health-related quality
of life by enhancing psychological well-being and by improving physical functioning in persons compromised by poor health.

• Not just stimuli (stressful events)
• It is the personal appraisal of these events
• Reference to self-evaluation of coping ability (past experience)
• And to support systems

Exercise and stress
• Lowers risk of heart attacks (Paffenbarger’s Harvard alumni studies)
• Continues to decrease risk, up to 20 miles/day• Has to be aerobic (sustained, increased O2
consumption), heart pumps more per beat lower heart rate
• Stress HR increase• Cardiovascular conditioning may counteract its
effects
![Page 54: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind John Spinks](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b88dbb4c90561588b535c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Exercise and stress
• In other words, low levels of exercise HR increase after exercise or after stress anxiety high levels of noradrenaline more anxiety (vicious cycle) less exercise (another vicious cycle)…
• Aerobic exercise, on the other hand low levels of HR increase after exercise or after stress no heightened anxiety less perceived stress

If you’ve had a heart attack, should you exercise?
• Experimental group…year long rehabilitation including exercise 3 times per week (Dugmore et al, 1999, UK, 124 pts over 5 years)

Cholesterol
• Stress arousal Increase in catecholamines increase in plasma lipid levels
• Work-related stressors more clearly associated with cholesterol
• Modifying variables, such as diet, smoking and activity levels, appear to be important determinants of cholesterol levels
• How about in adolescents?

SO? Does exercise exert its effects on stress through…
• Feel good factor?
• Endorphin hypothesis? (little evidence)
• Social support?
• Distraction hypothesis?
• Cardiovascular conditioning?

How about other relationships?
• Bramwell et al ’75– LEs correlated with sports injuries!– Low LCUs 30% injury rate (U.S. football)– Med LCUs 50%– High LCUs 73%
– Why?

Why?
• Lack of vigilance?
• Attentional focussing?
• Increase in muscle tension?

Smith et al ‘90
• Increases in stress only predicted injuries in those athletes who had low social support
• (= coping/mediational factor; LCUs doesn’t look at this)
