Precautions for Osteoporosis
Avoid activities that put high stress on the bone Walking & resistance training ↑ balance & strength No extreme heavy-weights Avoid contact sports Post-hip fracture: Exercise with PT
Cancer Management & PA
Avoid inactivity!! Participate/return to PA as soon as possible! • Gradually build to 150 min/week of aerobic activity • Perform progressive strength training 2-3 days/week • Flexibility!!!

Being a good role model with healthy snacking and eating
Does aerobic exercise benefit just the heart?
Benefits each body system hormone regulation immunity metabolism strength
obesity and no exercise
Better to be fat and fit, than skinny and unfit. Low level of fitness is a bigger risk factor for mortality, than mildmoderate obesity. Benefits of physical activity are the same, regardless of BMI.
Calcium
Body "defends" circulating calcium Adequate calcium during childhood = Improve bone growth & stronger bone into adulthood Adults: Prevents bone loss Too much calcium → Kidney stones!
Symphysis pubis separation
Bottom of the pelvis separates, causing irregular pelvic movement & associated pain

flexibility and cognitive function
• Ability to change perspectives • "Think outside the box" • Admit you're wrong • Take advantage of sudden opportunities
Consequences of Excessive Weight (fetus)
• Birth defects (i.e. neural tube defects, abdominal wall defects, heart defects, multiple congenital anomaly syndromes, etc.) • Fetal macrosomia and future obesity • Risk of stillbirth and perinatal mortality is more than doubled

"Healthy Aging" Diet
• Consume adequate amounts of calcium & vitamin D • Bone growth & Strength!!! • Maintains nervous & immune systems • Milk, cheese, yogurt, leafy greens, saltwater fish • Consume enough fiber! • Fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, nuts • Consume adequate amounts of vitamin B12 • Meat, eggs, milk, shellfish • Avoid excess sodium, trans & saturated fats, and simple sugars • Limit to only 2/3 tsp of salt • Read nutrition labels & watch for fats and added sugars • Be careful with supplements!! • Intended to "fill in gaps", not be relied upon
Prenatal exercise FITT
• F - At least 3 days a week, preferably daily • I - Light to moderate (unless accustomed to vigorous) • Resting HR increases with pregnancy, RPE or talk test recommended • T - If unfit, start at 20 minutes. If highly fit, limit to 45 minutes • T - Aerobic has greatest benefit, Resistance also beneficial
FITT & Special Considerations Elderly (Type 2 diabetes)
• F = 3-7 days/week • I = Moderate to vigorous • T = 10-30 min/day (150 min/week), greater benefits by increasing to 300+ min/week • T = Aerobic
