The rick increases when an individual is exercising at a higher intensity. Data has shown that one per 133,000 men and one per 769,000 women athletes of high school and college age are at risk for an exercise related death. Cardiac related deaths among young individuals was one per 185,000 men and one per 1.5 million women. A sudden cardiac death is one per 15,000-18,000 for adults who showed previous signs. Overall, six cardiac events were shown for every 10,000 tests, showing the risk is low for a cardiac related event to occur during exercise or exercise…
(p. 1). Hence, this is a case of the lack of use resulting in the decreased strength of the muscle which would have a great impact in our ability to lead a full life. Additionally, the lack of exercise has a large impact on our heart muscle. The American Heart Association [AHA] (2014) states, “ The lack of exercise drastically increases the risk of heart problems -- specifically coronary artery disease, in which arteries become clogged with cholesterol and other fatty materials and prevent sufficient blood supply to the heart.”…
Only recently, due to the comforts of the industrialized world, has exercise’s value been fully realized. This statement combined with a plethora of scientific research from credible sources such as the CDC, demonstrating the importance of exercise and the contrast in health between those who partake in exercise and those who do not, appeals to the reader’s logic. The historical context and the modern scientific research working in tandem allow the reader to deduce the importance of exercise and its health implications, and by association, the importance of a pill that could replace…
MODERATE AEROBIC EXERCISE ON FAT COMPOSITION IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN IN BOOY, DISTRICT Introduction According to the public health agencies all over the world, physical activity is a simple and inexpensive way to prevent any disease. An individual should be physically active at least 150 min/week at moderate intensity, or 60 to 75 min/week at vigorous intensity. A body weight regulation is a beneficial effect of physical activity. (CM Friedenreich, et.…
In the article, Heart Health For Woman by Wendy Marcason, depending on what a woman eats and how she choses to live her life plays a key role in her heart role. There are some roles that have no effect in whether you keep a healthy lifestyle or are physically active that will still affect your risk of having heart disease like; aging, gender, family history, race, and a previous heart attack. An interesting fact dealing with heart disease is black women have a higher risk of heart disease than white women. Their chances of dying from a stroke are also greater. Limiting the type of fat intake you consume can make a difference.…
Over the last decade of the study, another round of the test has been conducted with other family members. Although the participants of this study were predominately Caucasian, they still provided important information and data that is applied to all ethnicities. By monitoring their risk of cardiovascular disease, a number of risk factors have emerged that have an impact on if the get CVD. The major risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease include: high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes and the lack of physical activity (Framingham Heart Study, n.d.). This study continues to be a vital provider of researching cardiovascular disease globally.…
Being active is a lifelong thing that improves mental and physical health. physical activity is important in building muscles and strong bones (physical activity in youth par. 3).It also decreases in likelihood to develop obesity, heart disease, and risk for type two diabetes. I am myself was born with heart disease and know the effects and to prevent myself from receiving any more problems being active and eating healthy has helped reduce these risks and fend from future damage.…
The data from the Framingham heart study led to the development of the prediction risk profile model of CVD. This assesses the seven risk factors associated with CVD including diabetes, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol, blood pressure (BP), smoking, age and gender (D'Agostino, et al. (2000). Three of these risk factors are inextricably linked…
Physical activity regulates your weight and improves your body’s use of insulin. Keeping active is useful for your blood pressure, the health of your blood vessels and inflammation, which is a influential promoter of cardiovascular disease. African American have a higher risk of heart disease because of their lack of exercise. Studies show that doing more than two hours of moderate physical activity or an hour of vigorous physical activity every week will reduce your risk of heart disease by 30%. If you keep active the evidence suggests that this may lower risk of premature death compared to inactive people with no risk factors for heart disease.…
There were 15 scholarly articles used to get these results. A few of the articles focused on how exercise reduces the level of estrogen in the body of perimenopausal women. Other articles focused on how increased levels of estrogen increased the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women. This study focused on how daily cardiovascular exercise,…
. This approach aims at engaging businesses and employers to adopt policies and practices which would increase physical activities among their employees (DCD, 2014). The national prevention program determined that obesity and heart-related diseases occur due to the accumulation of fats in the body. They also established that pollution causes a number of diseases, including lung diseases. Thus, engaging in frequent physical activities would help people to burn fats and stay risk-free.…
Coronary heart disease and angina • Angina is pain or discomfort that comes when your heart does not get enough oxygen. Angina is usually a symptom of a heart problem known as coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD)1 • • Your heart is a muscle. It pumps oxygen-rich blood to your whole body. Your heart also needs oxygen to work.…
There are many different risk factors exist from family history to daily diet habits. However, cigarettes smoking and physical inactivity provide the strongest correlation with increased incidence of chronic disease. First of all, smoking cigarettes damages the heart and blood vessels. In addition, smoking cigarettes mostly rises a risk of getting chronic diseases by increasing blood pressure which interferes the circulation of oxygen in the heart.…
Public Health Problem Cardiovascular disease, more commonly known as heart disease, is a noninfectious, chronic, degenerative disease that has extensive historical documentation from over the ages but has become progressively prevalent with the rise of modern society. Cardiovascular disease currently stands as the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting both genders indiscriminately and is responsible for almost fifty percent of deaths that occur. It has recently become an area of intense scientific and medical investigation in collaboration with Public Health to ameliorate this health crisis. Cardiovascular disease most commonly develops in people for the three following reasons: (A) genetic makeup (this includes disorders and familial inheritance), (B) smoking and its repercussions and finally (C) personal choices and lifestyle habits (particularly those relating to diet consumption and physical exercise).…
Cardiovascular Disease among the Population of the United States The World Heart Federation (2012) defines Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) as “a broad range of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels” (n.p.). CVD is also known as Heart Disease (American Heart Association [AHA], 2015). According to Roger, Lloyd-Jones, Berry, et al. (2011) there are numerous types of cardiovascular diseases including: hypertension, coronary artery disease, congenital cardiovascular defects, stroke, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis (hardening or narrowing of the blood vessels) and other diseases of the circulatory system.…
