The document discusses physical fitness assessments. It defines physical fitness as the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively, consisting of health-related and skill-related components. A fitness assessment measures 5 areas: cardiovascular endurance, body composition, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility. Assessments provide a baseline to design effective exercise programs and evaluate progress. Common tests include VO2 max, pushups, situps, flexibility tests, body mass index, skin folds, and strength tests. Assessments help develop fitness goals and motivate individuals.
Exercise is the systematic, planned performance of bodily movements, postures or physical activities intended to provide a means to:-
Remediate or prevent impairments
Improve, restore or enhance physical function
Prevent or reduce health related risk factors
Optimize overall health status, fitness or sense of well being

Sports and exercise psychology
▪ The key focus is on the development of mental skills -the ability for individuals to understand and use their minds to improve their performances and enjoyment.
TOPIC: BASIC PRINCIPLE OF EXERCISE
PRINCIPLE OF PROGRESSION
• States that as your body adopts to your exercise routine , you have to change it up.
• This can mean gradually increasing the weight , duration or intensity of your weight training in order to see growth
THE PRINCIPLES OF OVERLOAD
• To improve any aspects of physical fitness the Individual must continually increase the demands placed on the appropriate body systems
FREQUENCY PRINCIPLE OF EXERCISE
• This refers to how often you exercise. Th point is to meet your goals without overtiming the body.
• When it comes to cardio: As a general rule of thumb, aim for a minimum of three cardio sessions per week. If you’re looking to lose weight, you might increase this number to five to six sessions.
• When it comes to strength training: It’s recommended to do some sort of strength training three to four times per week. Strength training can involve the use of weights (even bodyweight workouts), resistance, barbells, or machines.
• Also includes rest days: Also account for rest days when putting together your plan. It’s important to give your muscles a chance to recover.
INTENSITY
• This refers to how difficult an exercise is.
• When it comes to strength training
• If you’re new to an exercise program, you don’t want to make the plan too challenging. This could lead to injury or burnout.
• Start at a level that feels comfortable, and then gradually increase the difficulty as your strength and endurance builds.
• With strength training, there are three primary methods you can use to measure intensity:
• amount of weight lifted
• number of repetitions completed
• number of sets
When it comes to cardio
• To measure how hard you’re working during a cardiovascular exercise, you can look to your heart rate, which is measured by beats per minute (bpm).
• This starts with determining your target heart rate zone for your fitness level and age. The heart rate zone you’re meant to target is based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate (MHR).
1. Find your max heart rate (MHR) To find your MHR, use this calculation: 220 minus your age = MHR. For example, if you’re 25 years old, your MHR is 195 (220 – 25 = 195 MHR).
2. Find your target heart rate zone According to Harvard Health, aerobic exercise is when your heart rate reaches between 70 and 85 percent of your MHR. You’re also getting a workout when your heart rate reaches 50 to 70 percent of your MHR.
TIME
This refers to the duration of each exercise.
• Experts recommend Trusted Source at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or at least 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise a week.
• This can look like 30 minutes of moderate exercise or 15 minutes of intense exercise a day.
• Of course, you can increase or

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
2. Fitness and Health
The word health is often associated only with physical
fitness, but there are other components of health.
FITNESS means “readiness”. Fit people are better equipped
than non-fit people.
The level of fitness includes all aspects of health and life.
It affects physical, mental, and social health.
3. What is Physical Fitness?
Physical Fitness is the ability
of your body systems to
work efficiently.
A fit person is able to carry
out the typical activities of
living, such as work, and still
have enough energy and
vigor to respond to
emergency situations and to
enjoy leisure time activities.
4. Physical Activity and Exercise
Physical activity is a
general term that includes
sports, dance, and activities
done at work or at home,
such as walking, climbing
stairs, or mowing the lawn.
When people do physical
activity especially for the
purpose of getting fit, we
say they are doing exercise.
Physical Fitness is the body’s ability to
function efficiently and effectively. It
consists of Health Related Fitness and
Skill Related Fitness, which have
different components, each of which
contributes to total quality of life
5. What is a Fitness Assessment?
• A fitness assessment is a series of
measurements that help determine physical
fitness
• It is a comprehensive assessment of health
related fitness administered by
professional, trained staff.
6. A fitness assessment provides a baseline
measurement of
• 1-cardiovascular endurance,
• 2- body composition,
• 3- muscular endurance,
• 4-muscular strength
• 5- flexibility.
Fitness assessment provide an accurate measure
of the current fitness and health level of an
individual.
7. • Assessments are recommended prior to
beginning an exercise program
• These tests are often the starting point for
designing an appropriate exercise program.
8. • To determine the health status and physical
fitness of an individual through the assessment
of the 5 components of fitness
• To help develop and establish an effective
fitness program
• To establish goals and motivation
• To evaluate progress
• To identify the strengths and weaknesses in
relation to the physical fitness
Objectives of fitness assessments

Skill - Related Physical
Fitness
• It helps you stay
healthy
• It helps you perform well
in sports and activities that
require certain skills
11. Cardiorespiratory fitness
(CRF)
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) reflects the functional
capabilities of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and skeletal
muscles to perform work.
There are many different terms that have been used to describe
this measure of physical fitness, including:
• Maximal aerobic capacity
• Functional capacity
• Physical work capacity (PWC)
• Cardiovascular endurance, fitness, or capacity
• Cardiorespiratory endurance, fitness, or capacity
• Cardiopulmonary endurance, fitness, or capacity
12. 1.Cardiovascular endurance
assessment
• 1-Cardio-respiratory Endurance or Resting Heart
Rate: Indicator of aerobic fitness and cardiac
efficiency
• Cardio-respiratory endurance: the ability to
perform large-muscle, dynamic exercise of
moderate to high intensity for prolonged periods
13. • Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of;
the heart, the blood,
the blood vessels
the respiratory system
to provide the required oxygen and fuel to the
muscles for carrying on a particular exercise
for specific period of time at a steady rate
Cardiovascular Endurance
14. Cardiovascular Endurance
Factors to consider
VO2 max – volume of O2 (ml O2 kg-1
min-1)
Heart rate
Blood pressure
Measures efficiency, work load and force
of the heart
15. VO2 max Test
GOLD STANDARD

Impractical
16. Maximal Oxygen Consumption test
(VO2 Max)
According to the American College of Sports
Medicine (ACSM), cardio-respiratory fitness is
determined by oxygen consumption, technically
called VO2. This is measured by how much
oxygen (in milliliters) your body can use per
kilogram of body weight per minute.
Cardiovascular endurance assessment
21. • Determining appropriate maximum
heart rate in a fitness assessment
should also take into account blood
pressure
• A person with high blood pressure
should be evaluated by a physician
prior to proceeding with an exercise
program.
Cardiovascular endurance assessment
22. • Another common test in a fitness assessment is
aerobic fitness. the main goal of any aerobic
exercise is to provide an increased amount of
oxygen to the body.
• Aerobic exercise involved three specific types
of exercise including; cycling, swimming, and
running.
• Aerobic exercise can also include skiing,
jogging, running on a treadmill using an
elliptical trainer,

26. 2- Muscular endurance
• Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle
or group of muscles to contract without
becoming exhausted
• is very important for people playing sports and
who have to sustain an activity for long
periods of time.
27. Muscular endurance is assessed by counting the
maximum number of repetitions of a muscular
contraction a person can perform to fatigue
(Repetition Maximum Testing 1 RM)
The term used to describe the maximal amount of
weight that can be lifted with one contraction is called
the repetition maximum (RM).
The 1-RM is typically considered the gold standard
measure of muscular strength
Muscular endurance
28. Muscular Endurance
Push-up test
Max of push-ups
Sit-up test

Wall Sit
Max squat along wall
29. YMCA Submaximal Bench
Press Test
This test provides a
standardized method
to quantify muscular
endurance using the
bench press exercise.
30. Muscular endurance
Requires Max testing
Squats and bench press
Very unsafe for
inexperienced
individuals
Typical Tests:
Vertical jump
Leg press
Handgrip
dynamometers
32. 3- Flexibility test
The capacity of the joints to move
through a full range of motion;
• the ability to bend and recover
without injury
• Flexibility is an important
component of fitness
and physical performance
• Evaluates flexibility of lower back
and posterior leg muscles
33. Similar to the HRPF assessment of muscular
endurance, there is no one single measurement
that provides an overall measurement of
flexibility.
Fortunately, goniometer assessments are quite
feasible
34. Goniometers & Inclinometers
Goniometers are used to test and measure the flexibility of a
joint. Small joint goniometers are used for fingers and toes while
larger goniomters are for measuring range of motion in large
extrimities like the arms, shoulders or legs. The Baseline Bubble
Inclinometer accurately measures complete range of motion.
Flexibility test
35. DISTANCE TESTS FOR
ASSESSMENT OF FLEXIBILITY
Sit and reach (hamstrings)
Measures hamstring
flexibility
Legs out straight
Reach as far as you can
Zipper test (shoulders)
One hand over head
One hand around back
36. 4-Body Composition Assessment
Body composition is the study of the components of
the body and their relative proportions.
From a health-related physical fitness (HRPF)
assessment point of view, body composition is defined
as the relative proportions of fat and fat-free tissue in
the body, typically expressed as a total body fat
percentage.
37. 4-Body Composition Assessment
The evaluation of body composition can be done
through measure of the two-component (fat and fat-
free mass) assess by;-
• Height & Weight (Body Mass Index)
• Skin folds,
• Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA),
• Hydrostatic weighing
• Circumference Measurements
• Waist Girth & Waist-to-Hip Ratio
38. Body Composition
Hydrostatic weighing:
Because it’s based on the
Archimedes principle of fluid
displacement, this method is
often called underwater weighing.
The American College of Sports
Medicine (ACSM) has called it
the gold standard because of its
high accuracy. People are
submerged under water and
weighed
39. Body Composition: DEXA Scan
The dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a body
composition test. It’s a fast, relatively noninvasive technique that can
measure bone density for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, whole-body
composition and regional composition.
40. Body Mass Index (BMI) •
Distribution of mass based
on your height
Waist to hip ratio
Circumference of waist
versus the hips
Shows the distribution of fat
Sum of skin folds
Shows where fat is stored
around the body
41. Body Mass Index
Body Mass Index (BMI = kg/m2)
Compares your mass to your height
Not accurate for “athletic” individuals
42. Skin-fold test
• Skinfold measurements can be used to estimate body
fat percentage based on the assumption that the
amount of subcutaneous fat in a particular skinfold is
proportional to the total amount of overall body fat.
• At first glance, pinching a fold of skin and applying a
set of calipers to measure the distance appears to be a
simple skill. However, consistently obtaining
accurate skinfold measurements requires a good-
quality skinfold caliper, specific training, and a
significant amount of practice.
43.
44.
45. 5-Muscular Strength test
• Muscle strength: the ability of muscles to
work against resistance
• Muscular Strength; tests muscular strength of
the upper body, (Push Up Strength Test)
46. Skill - Related Physical Fitness
Different sports require different parts of
skill -related fitness.
Many sports require several parts. For
example, a skater might have good agility,
but may not posses good power.
Some people have more natural ability in
skill areas than others.
Good health does not come from being
good in skill-related fitness.
47. Agility
• Agility is the ability to change the position of your body
quickly and to control body’s movements. People with
good agility are most likely to be good at activities such
as: diving, soccer, ice skating, wrestling, etc.
48. Balance
• Balance is the ability to keep an upright posture while
standing still or moving. People with good balance are
most likely to be good in activities such as
gymnastics, ice skating, rhythmic gymnastics, ski-
jumping, surfing, etc.
49. Power
• Power is the ability to
use strength and speed.
People with good power
might have the ability to
put the shot, throw the
discus, high jump, play
football, speed swim,
speed skate, etc.
50. Coordination
Coordination is the integration of hand
and/or foot movements with the input of
the senses
Examples of activities that require
coordination include: • CrossFit • Group
fitness classes (i.e., Zumba, Body Pump,
Body Attack, Bootcamp) • Baseball •
Basketball • Golf • Jumping rope •
Martial arts (i.e., karate, judo,
taekwondo) • Skiing/Snowboarding
51. Reaction Time
• Reaction time is the amount of time it takes to move
once you realize the need to act. People with good
reaction time are able to make fast starts in track or
swimming, or to dodge a fast attack in fencing or
karate.
52. Speed
Speed is the ability to perform a movement or cover a
distance in a short period of time. People with leg
speed can run fast, while people with good arm speed
can throw fast or hit a ball that is thrown fast.
