training will be announced, this
presentation will be responsible
for providing some information
for information.
 What is?

It is any intentional body movement produced by the

skeletal muscles that determine an energy expenditure. Includes
to sport and exercise, but also to daily activities
such as climbing stairs, performing tasks at home or at work,
Moving on foot or by bicycle and recreational activities.
 Active and inactive person
Active person:
An active person is one who manages to achieve the minutes of physical activity
established by the recommendations for each age; 60 minutes a day for children
and adolescents and 150 minutes a week for those over 18.

Inactive person:
Physical inactivity occurs when a person does not meet the current WHO
minimum recommendations for physical activity for health: when an adult
individual practices less than 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic physical
activity, or when a person aged 5 to 17 years fails to complete one hour of
moderate to vigorous physical activity per day.
 Types of physical activity

Unstructured

Garden or household work that involves movement. Use the stairs instead of the
elevator. Play music and dance at home. Walking around to perform everyday
tasks.

•Structured

Gym classes or gym exercises under the supervision of a technician, basketball

games, soccer, volleyball, etc., with rules of the game, participation in street races.
Allocate a part of the day to walking, with a length of route, a time and an
expected intensity.
 Intensity

Moderate physical activity

It requires moderate effort that significantly accelerates the heart rate. It increases
the frequency of breathing and body heat (can produce sweat).

Intense physical activity

It requires a lot of effort and causes rapid breathing and a substantial increase in
heart rate, in addition, body heat, so sweat is produced to evaporate and lose the
heat that is generated with intense exercise.
The most important types of physical activity for health are:

1. Activities related to cardiovascular (aerobic) work: light jogging, walking, cycling,

dancing, playing soccer.
2. Activities related to muscle strength and/or endurance: climbing stairs, lifting
loads, jumping.
3. Activities related to flexibility: bending, stretching, turning.
4. Activities related to coordination: ball games, dancing.
 Proceeds

The Physical activity reduces the risk of suffering from: cardiovascular diseases,
high blood pressure, colon cancer and diabetes. It helps control overweight,
obesity and body fat percentage. Strengthens bones, increasing bone density.

Psychological

Practicing sports or performing any physical activity stimulates the mind too
much generating sympathy for motor activities releasing stress generating peace.
 REST

On the other hand, experts recommend resting between 24 and 48 hours between
workouts. The rest time will depend on each type of body, since each body is
different, but it is estimated that 24 hours is the minimum for the muscles to
achieve a correct recovery.
 Conclusion
Regular physical activity every week, over the years, produces a highly positive
effect in the short, medium and long term on health and quality of life.
The practice of physical activity on a regular basis is one of the most effective
tools for the prevention of diseases in people. During its development it presents
few and almost negligible negative effects provided that it is carried out under
proper supervision and control.
