PREFACE
Welcome to Foundations of Physical Activity and Public Health, Second Edition. This text is a collection of the concepts that define the emerging field of physical activity and public health. Much like the more established fields (i.e., the effects of nutrition and smoking on public health), physical activity and public health has its roots in the grafting of two other fields. In this case, public health scientists and exercise scientists have come together to create an opportunity to improve health through research and promotion of physical activity. Methods and evidence from the public health sciences (epidemiology, health promotion, behavioral science, and environmental health) and kinesiology (exercise physiology, the movement sciences, and sport and exercise psychology), combined with a crucial eye on health policy, constitute our field. Although nothing can be substituted for experience, this text offers the background and introduction to the tools needed for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity promotion programs. This is the first textbook of its kind designed for a semester-long course in the field.
Few singular health behaviors can have as broad an impact on the health of individuals and populations as physical activity. The scientific base is growing and solidifying regarding the effects of physical activity on all-cause morbidity and mortality due to multiple noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease, some cancers, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
It is a very exciting time of growth in physical activity and public health. The seminal scientific works of Dr. Jeremy N. Morris and Dr.
Ralph S. Paffenbarger Jr. helped set the stage for what is now a worldwide focus on advancing the science, as well as reducing physical inactivity and promoting the benefits of regular physical activity for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and other health challenges. As the science and practice advance, physical activity is receiving increased attention from policy and organizational decision makers worldwide, including governmental ministers of health. Professional societies have been created to focus on advancing the research and practice of the field, the scientific literature has expanded dramatically on multiple fronts, and physical activity and inactivity are becoming parts of health policy decisions at all levels. An outstanding example is the Toronto Charter for Physical Activity: A Global Call to Action. This advocacy tool drives policies worldwide that are supportive of the role of physical activity in promoting health.
HOW THIS BOOK IS ORGANIZED Foundations of Physical Activity and Public Health is organized into three parts and 16 chapters.
PART I: INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH Part I introduces concepts of public health, kinesiology, and measurement. The chapters in this part highlight fundamentals of each and how they have come together.
Chapter 1 introduces the fundamentals of public health and provides information about the various subdisciplines of public health and how public health differs from medicine. Finally, there is a discussion about how public health policy is often linked to the legal and regulatory system, as well as discussion of an emerging specialization in public health.
The fundamentals of kinesiology are discussed in chapter 2. In the past, exercise was studied and often promoted as a means of enhancing maximal performance rather than promoting basic health
benefits for all. The components of exercise training are presented as well as the methods for applying them to target populations. The general health, fitness, and performance effects of physical activity and exercise are discussed. A final section presents ways to integrate traditional exercise prescription into physical activity and exercise programs.
Chapter 3 focuses on the emergence of the subdiscipline of physical activity and public health. Examples of the interdisciplinary interest in the field of physical activity and public health are reviewed and the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes for careers in physical activity and public health are provided.
In chapter 4, the importance of measuring physical activity is introduced, and the strengths and weaknesses of various laboratory and field methods are discussed. Overviews of the following techniques are included: indirect calorimetry, doubly labeled water, wearable devices, direct observation, and self-report instruments. Observational techniques such as physical activity surveillance and sources of data-based comparison are also discussed.
PART II: HEALTH EFFECTS OF EXERCISE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY The scientific base of the health effects of physical activity and inactivity is remarkable in its size and complexity. It continues to grow each year, and the overwhelming evidence for the health benefits and risks of physical activity provides much of the rationale for action.
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and their association to physical activity are presented in chapter 5. The chapter starts with a discussion of the prevalence and economic costs of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Specific physiological, biomechanical, and behavioral adaptations to physical activity and exercise are also identified. Common testing methodologies for predicting and diagnosing metabolic disease are provided. The evidence for the effect of physical activity on cardiorespiratory and metabolic disease is discussed.
Chapter 6 contains common definitions for overweight and obesity and a discussion about the prevalence (U.S. and worldwide) and the economic costs of these conditions. A discussion of caloric balance is included, and the contributions that physical activity and exercise have on balance-related issues are highlighted. The various risk factors associated with overweight and obesity are discussed, and specific physiological, biomechanical, and behavioral adaptations to physical activity and exercise are identified. Methods for assessing body composition are provided. The effects of physical activity on weight loss, weight maintenance, and weight regain are discussed along with the physical activity guidelines for achieving caloric balance and a healthy weight.
Chapter 7 focuses on musculoskeletal disorders and functional health. The risk factors, prevalence, and economic costs of musculoskeletal disorders and disability are discussed. Specific physiological, biomechanical, and behavioral adaptations to physical activity and exercise are provided. Common testing methodologies for muscle function and functional health are included. The evidence for the effect of physical activity on musculoskeletal disorders and disabilities in functional health is discussed.
In chapter 8, cancers related to physical inactivity are discussed and the prevalence of each is highlighted. The mechanism by which physical activity might reduce the risk of some cancers is included along with a discussion of common risks for cancer. Specific physiological, biomechanical, and behavioral adaptations to physical activity and exercise are identified. Included is a discussion of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of physical activity for cancer survivors, as well as evidence for the role of physical activity in the prevention of cancer.
Chapter 9 examines the effects of physical activity on brain health. The prevalence, economic costs, and risk factors of brain health disorders are discussed. A framework for studying brain health problems and their response to physical activity interventions is provided along with a discussion about the effects of physical activity
on brain function, which includes reaction time, learning tasks, cognitive function, and academic achievement. The recommendations for physical activity complete the chapter.
In chapter 10, adverse events associated with physical activity are discussed. Participation in regular physical activity and exercise may increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and sudden cardiac death in some cases. This chapter contains a discussion about defining adverse events, the prevalence of problems, the risks associated with injury, and the adaptive processes that may help prevent injury.
PART III: STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROMOTION The chapters in part III introduce evidence-based strategies for increasing physical activity in individuals and populations. Public health is characterized by translating science into action to advance the health of the population. The strategies presented in part III have been scientifically demonstrated to increase physical activity and can be used for action in a variety of settings.
Methods for promoting physical activity are discussed in chapter 11, which opens with a discussion about the importance of using the Guide to Community Preventive Services as a resource for identifying physical activity intervention programs that work. A discussion about the impact of community-wide campaigns on increasing physical activity is included along with an overview of mass media campaigns.
In chapter 12, the rationale for school-based physical activity interventions is presented. The scientific benefits of physical activity in youth are reviewed, and commonly used physical fitness tests for school settings are discussed. A section that highlights current U.S. strategies and policies for promoting physical activity via school- based programs is included. The remainder of the chapter focuses on examples of evidence-based school physical activity programs.
In chapter 13, the focus is on evidence-based strategies for behavioral and social approaches to physical activity promotion. This chapter includes a discussion of current behavioral theories and theoretical models that are used to explain physical activity behavior in individuals. Social support strategies for physical activity promotion in communities are defined and highlighted, and examples of both types of approaches are provided.
In chapter 14, environmental and policy influences on physical activity are reviewed, as are strategies for change. The ways in which aspects of the physical and built environment can encourage or inhibit physical activity are reviewed. The role of urban design for physically active populations and evidence-based strategies for change are discussed.
In chapter 15, evaluation of physical activity programs is introduced. This chapter begins with a discussion of the six-step Physical Activity Evaluation Framework developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The concepts of formative evaluation, process evaluation, outcome evaluation, and cost- effectiveness evaluation are covered. Logic models are presented. This chapter also contains discussions about evaluation designs, data collection and analysis, and publishing and communicating results.
Chapter 16 is the final chapter in the text; it focuses on building effective partnerships for physical activity programs. Examples of effective partnering include the U.S. National Physical Activity Plan, the World Health Organization Global Action Plan for Physical Activity, and the international Toronto Charter for Physical Activity. Strategies for physical activity advocacy are included, and models for advocacy and effective leadership conclude the chapter.
