2. PHYSICAL INACTIVITY : A GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM
OBESITY
DIABETES
CVDS

3. Obesity is a medical
condition in which
excess body fat has
accumulated over
time to the extent
that it may have a
negative effect on
health, leading to
reduced life
expectancy and/or
increased health
problems

4.  Obesity has reached epidemic proportions
globally, with at least 2.8 million deaths each
year
65% of the world’s population live in a
country where overweight and obesity kills
more people than underweight, globally, 44%
of diabetes, 23% of ischaemic heart disease
and 7-41% of certain cancers are attributable
to overweight and obesity
For an individual obesity is usually the result
of an imbalance between calories consumed
and calories expended
Eating healthy diets and regular physical
activity can help prevent and reduce obesity

5. Diabetes Mellitus (DM),
commonly referred to as
diabetes, is a group of
metabolic diseases in which
there are high blood sugar
levels over a prolonged
period its symptoms include
frequent urination,
increased thirst and
increased hunger. If left
untreated diabetes can
cause many complications,
serious long term
complications include
cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs), stroke, chronic
kidney failure, foot ulcers,
and damage to the eyes

6. About 347 million people worldwide have
diabetes and the global epidemic can be
traced back to rapid increases in overweight
including obesity and physical inactivity
Cardiovascular disease is responsible for
between 50% and 80% of deaths in people with
diabetes
Diabetes is predicted to become the 7th
leading cause of death in the world by the
year 2030
Type 2 diabetes which is the most common
type of diabetes accounting for almost 90% of
all diabetic cases worldwide can be prevented
and drastically reduced with moderate-
intensity physical activity and a healthy
earting habit

7. Cardiovascular diseases are a group of
disorders of the heart and blood
vessels they includes;
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). This
condition occurs when the flow of
oxygen-rich blood to the heart is
blocked or reduced by a build-up of
fatty material in the coronary arteries
Stroke. This is a serious medical
condition that occurs when the blood
supply to the brain is cut off
Peripheral Arteries Disease. This
occurs when there’s blockage in the
arteries to your limbs especially the
legs
Aortic Disease. The aorta is the
largest blood vessel in the body. It
carries blood from the heart to the
rest of the body the most common
type of aortic disease is known as
aortic aneurysm where the wall of the
aorta becomes weakened and bulges
outward and pains are experienced in
the chest, back and abdomen

8. CVDs are the number 1 cause of death
globally more people die annually from CVDs
than from any other causes
An estimated 17.5 million people died from
CVDs in 2012 representing 31% of all global
deaths of these deaths an estimated 7.4
million were due to coronary heart disease and
6.7 million were due to stroke
Over three quarters of cardiovascular deaths
take place in low and middle income countries
Most cardiovascular diseases can be
prevented by addressing behavioural risk
factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet
and obesity, physical inactivity and harmful
use of alcohol

11. THE UNHOLY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN OBESITY, DIABETES MELLITUS
AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES RESULTS INTO OVER 40% OF ALL
TOTAL DEATHS YEARLY AND ITS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IF
PREVENTIVE MEASURES ARE NOT TAKEN

12. ADOPTING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE LIKE GETTING MORE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE, CONTROLLING
TOBACCO USAGE, CONTROLLING EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND GETTING CLEAN
DIETS CAN HELP
CARDIOVASCULAR

13. Physical activity is defined as any
bodily movement produced by
skeletal muscles that requires
energy expenditure e.g. exercise
and it helps in the following ways
 Exercise controls weights hence curbs
obesity and overweighing
Reduce the risk of cardiovascular
diseases
Reduce the risk of type II diabetes
and metabolic syndrome
Reduce the risk of certain cancers
Strengthen the bones and muscles
Improves mental health and moods
Improves the ability to do daily
activities with ease
And advertently increase the chances
of living a longer and better life

14. Physical exercises are generally grouped into three types,
depending on the overall effect they have on the human body:
Aerobic exercises
Anaerobic
exercises
Flexibility
exercises

15. Aerobic exercise (also known as
cardio) is a physical exercise of low
to high intensity that depends
primarily on the aerobic energy-
generating process, it refers to the
use of oxygen to adequately meet
energy demands during exercise via
aerobic metabolism. Examples of
aerobic exercise includes; running,
jogging, skipping, swimming, cycling,
brisk walks and other designed
programs. Recognized benefits of
aerobic exercises includes;
Strengthening the muscles involved in
respiration to facilitate the flow of air in
the lungs
Strengthening and enlarging the cardiac
(heart) muscle, to improve pumping
efficiency
Improving circulation efficiency and
reducing blood pressure
Improved mental health, reduction of
stress and lowering the incidence of
depression,

16. Anaerobic exercise (strength and
resistance training) is an exercise
intense enough to promote strength,
speed, power and to build muscles, it
consists of brief intense bursts of
physical activity such as weightlifting
and bodyweight exercises where oxygen
demand surpass oxygen supply. Overall
health benefits of anaerobic exercises
are;
 anaerobic exercise helps boost
metabolism by building lean
muscles. So the more lean muscle
mass you have the more calories you
can burn
Protects joint s and injuries
Increases body strength, bone
strength and density therefore
reducing the risks of osteoporosis
 increases overall energy for
everyday intense physical activity
 provides good physiques, healthy
stamina and erect postures

17. Flexibility exercises are exercises
that increases the range of motion
of the joints or the ability of the
joints to move freely so as to
prevent and reduce the chances of
muscle and joint injury. Examples
of flexibility exercises are
stretches (static and dynamic
stretches) yoga and pilates.
Benefits of flexibility training
includes;
Decreases risk of injury during
physical activity:
Increases range of motion of
joints and muscles
Reduces muscles soreness after
strenuous physical activities
Improves athletic performance
