§15.1 MODEL OF HEALTH RELATED FITNESS Physical activity and physical fitness are
often considered to be synonymous terms but they are fundamentally differences and unique implications for health.

Definitions and Descriptions of Physical Activity and Inactivity
Physical activity (PA) is typically defined as “any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure”(11).
The term exercise is often used interchangeably with the term physical activity but “exercise” refers to a more structured (and planned) form of physical activity that is done with a specific purpose in mind
![Page 5: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that activity levels decline by about 20-25% during the period from 12-18 (Kemper, Post, Twisk, & van Mechelen, 1999); (Kimm et al., 2000) .
In any case, there is no denying the importance of regular physical activity for youth.
![Page 6: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Descriptions and Definitions of Physical FitnessPhysical fitness’s current model : morphological fitness cardiorespiratory fitness metabolic fitness motor fitness and neuromuscular fitness (Bouchard & Shepard, 1994).
![Page 7: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cardiorespiratory fitness Cardiorespiratory fitness includes : Categories of aerobic power, Heart functions (blood pressure) Lung function.
![Page 8: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Participation in physical activity that challenges the cardiovascular system (aka aerobic activity) helps to improve cardiorespiratory fitness but the associations between habitual physical activity and aerobic fitness are lower in youth than in adults (Morrow & Freedson, 1994).
![Page 9: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Morphological fitness Morphological fitness refers to indicators that
represent the structure and composition of the body such as subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue, body fat distribution, and bone mineral density.
![Page 10: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The primary component of interest is typically body fatness
![Page 11: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Low levels of physical activity and high levels of inactivity are causally associated with changes in overweight in children
(Berkey et al., 2000; Gordon-Larsen, Adair, & Popkin, 2002)
![Page 12: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Metabolic fitness Metabolic fitness includes biochemical indicators
that are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.
These indicators are known to be influenced by physical activity and to relate directly to health. Many of the Indicators of metabolic fitness cluster together as part of an overall ‘metabolic syndrome’ that predisposes individuals to cardiovascular disease (Lakka, Laaksonen, and Lakka, 2002).
![Page 13: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Motor fitness Motor fitness, in this model, refers to
components that can improve the ability to learn and perform complex skills required in some sports and physical activities.
![Page 14: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Muscular fitness Muscular fitness includes the
related dimensions of power, strength and endurance.
Muscle endurance and muscle strength are typically considered to be dimensions of health related fitness because there are direct links to health.
![Page 15: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Power (the combination of speed and strength), on the other hand, is often considered to be a dimension of skill related fitness (Corbin, Welk, Corbin, Welk, 2007)
Speed is more genetically linked and less responsive to training.
![Page 16: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A LIFESPAN MODEL OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH
Blair (1989)
![Page 17: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
An important message in the model is that physical activity and health-related risk factors can both track from childhood into adulthood.
The relationships between physical activity and health outcomes are reciprocal (bi-directional arrows).
![Page 18: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Relationships Between Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, and Health
Physical activity has effects on a variety of physiological systems and has been shown to impact each of the different components of HRF.
Activity and inactivity are both important in obesity prevention in youth.

§15.3THE YOUTH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROMOTION MODEL Youth Physical Activity Promotion (YPAP)
Model is a social-ecological model that was developed to facilitate the targeting of variables known to influence children’s physical activity behavior (Welk, 1999).

Factors Influencing Physical Activity in Youth – Description of the YPAP Model
Predisposing Factors Predisposing factors refers to factors that
may predispose a child to be physically active.
![Page 22: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Enabling Factors Enabling factors refers to factors that enable a
child to be physically active. These can include environmental variables such as access to facilities, equipment, and programs that provide opportunities for physical activity.
![Page 23: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHILD FITNESS, AND THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Greg Welk Weimo Zhu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815da4550346895dcbd09b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reinforcing Factors Reinforcing factors refers to support that a child
receives from significant others to be physically active. Parents, peers and teachers/coaches can all act to directly influence children’s interest and involvement in physical activity by providing opportunities for children to be active through the day.
