If the person leads a healthy lifestyle, then he for certain knows that high physical activity is an integral part of health.
During technologies and cars all of us forget more often that the movement is a panacea from many diseases therefore we will consider in more detail physical activity and its value for human health.
What is it?
Physical activity is set of movements which are carried out in processes of activity of the person. It is also possible to tell that it is an integral part of a way of life of people which depends on social and economic and cultural factors and also physical training, functional features of an organism.
Physical activity is also influenced by the number of free time, motivation, availability of places and constructions for implementation of physical activities.
Pluses of a healthy lifestyle and physical education for an organism.
Physical activity is physical actions which are purposeful motive acts which consist of movements of unconscious, not expedient mechanical movements of a body or its parts.
Motive activity is a part of physical exercises which are different in complexity, structure of the movement, motive structure and physical action.
Allocate:
- Set of simple movements and their combinations which are called analytical. They are a basis of exercises which selectively directed to cultivating various motive abilities.
- Power and high-speed — they influence an organism the factors as developing, supporting and restoring.
- Natural movements, such as run, walking, throwing, jumps, swimming.
Motive activity goes to that:
- to protect an organism;
- to be engaged in labor, household and sports activity.
Quantity and quality characteristics
Quantity characteristics consist from:
- volume of movements;
- numbers of movements;
- number of repetitions.
Quality characteristics consist of power expenses which are connected with performance of physical action and activity.
Important! Muscular loading is very important for prevention of diseases of joints and also is prevention of early aging.
Action on an organism
Muscular loading which occurs as physical activity allows to take off fatigue, nervous tension, to increase working capacity and vitality. Thanks to impulses which arrive from the skeletal working muscles there is a stimulation of a course of inflammatory processes and also functional activity of bodies and systems that is an integral part to keep human health and for prevention of aging of an organism.
Action on an organism of physical activity:
- Training of vessels, improvement of capillary and collateral blood circulation.
- Disclosure and functioning of the smallest blood vessels which penetrate skeletal muscles and also heart.
- Blood is saturated with oxygen and the capacity of vessels increases, there is an intake of reserve blood from a spleen and a liver.
- There is an inflow of blood which is rich with oxygen, microcirculation, a metabolism in fabrics and cages of an organism improves, function of digestive glands is stimulated, activity of intestines, pancreas and liver improves.
- Physical activity promotes expansion of blood vessels, enrichment of a human body with oxygen, calm of the excited nervous system, and in the morning awakens an organism, positively affects psychological state.
- People who are engaged in physical activity are long-livers, have a hypertension, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease less.
The evening activity will allow to lower psychoemotional pressure which collected in a day and also exhaustion that promotes the best falling asleep and sound sleep.
Important! Patients who have initial manifestations of atherosclerosis and hypertension have to be engaged in physical activity, it is also very important to be engaged in physical activity to persons of brainwork because physical activities are stimulation for work of a brain.
Especially it is important to be engaged in physical activity to children. Physical activities can be begun with early age.
The fact is that in the childhood the physical exercises will allow to prevent development of chronic diseases, diabetes, diseases of heart, osteoporosis, will promote improvement of intellectual development.
Types of physical activity
There are different types of physical activity which are well influencing a physical condition of an organism. They differ among themselves and have some features, we will consider them in more detail.
Walking
Walking is an integral part of activity of the person - it is difficult coordinate activity of skeletal muscles and extremities which is way of lokomotion.
Whether you know? Lokomotsiyami name movement of the person in space which is caused by its active movements.
Walking is the easiest way of physical activity. Foot walks are very useful to an organism. When walking the most part of muscles of the person works thanks to what gas exchange is stimulated in lungs, breath and memory improves.
It is especially useful to go at morning and in the evening therefore if you have an opportunity, then carry out foot walks at this particular time.
Run
Run is one of ways of movement of the person, unlike walking it has a certain phase of flight. It occurs thanks to difficult and coordinate activity of extremities and skeletal muscles.
Run unlike walking, has a double phase of a support though identical functional groups of muscles are involved in both cases.
Whether you know? The first Olympic competitions which were held B.C. consisted of run. In 1210 BC they were organized by Heracles.
Run promotes increase in a threshold of endurance, improvement of a metabolism, prevention of cardiovascular diseases and also helps to control weight. Run well affects immunity of people, raises a skin tone, strengthens muscles of legs, improves a metabolism and prevents cellulitis, helps to adjust work of nervous and endocrine system.
During implementation of this type of the movement there is an activation of capillaries that stimulates a blood-groove resonance in vessels.
Learn about useful properties of run for health.
Dances and fitness
These types of physical activity represent rhythmical movements which are carried out to the sound of music. During such exercises, not only muscles, but lungs and heart work.
Dances and fitness are long on time and rather intensive loadings that contributes to the development of endurance and also is very effective at weight loss.
Bicycle walks
Bicycle walks are very popular type of physical activity, influence weight reduction of the person.
Also during driving the bicycle the majority of muscles works, driving the bicycle allows to prevent development of cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, the musculoskeletal device.
Obvious advantage of cyclings.
During driving the bicycle the respiratory system actively works and blood is enriched with oxygen.
Such activity helps to accelerate processes of exchange in an organism that promotes weight loss and keeps an organism in a tone.
Swimming
Swimming increases force of respiratory muscles, increases their tone, promotes strengthening of ventilation of lungs and increase in their vital volume.
As a result of regular trainings by swimming it is possible to strengthen heart as force of a cardiac muscle increases.
We study technology of swimming by a breast stroke together.
Occupation swimming makes positive impact on the central nervous system, helps to strengthen it, promotes improvement of blood supply of a brain.
Also swimming is an effective remedy of training that promotes increase in resistance of an organism to catarrhal diseases and resilience to infections.
Influence of a lack of the movement
If the person does not carry out physical activity, then there can be an atrophy of muscles which happens at advanced age.
By also scientific way it is established that at observance of a bed rest within 12 days there are developments of stagnation, force of warm reduction decreases, pulse slows down, there is a frustration of a metabolism, oxygen starvation of an organism, the general weakness, an atrophy of some muscles.
Especially these symptoms are shown during operations and injuries after which the person is obliged to observe a high bed rest therefore doctors appoint physiotherapy exercises and physical activity. During a lack of muscular activity of the modern person which is called a hypodynamia there are deep changes of a cardiovascular system, a violation of blood circulation and a metabolism, change of structure and function of a myocardium, development of atherosclerosis of an aorta and peripheral coronary arteries.
Important! When developing thrombosis such people can have a death because sideways of blood circulation are very poorly developed, have a low reserve possibility of heart.
The person who got used to lead a sedentary life can receive regeneration of a cardiac muscle at which blood supply of a myocardium weakens, reserve capillaries, anastomoza and the connecting arteries decrease.
Other components of human health
The healthy lifestyle is not only physical activity, but also other its components, such as:
- balanced food;
- day regimen;
- refusal of addictions;
- observance of rules of personal hygiene.
Motive activity is directed to strengthening health of all organism, to prevent development of dangerous diseases. It is important to choose the type of physical activity suitable you, carrying out it according to the recommendations of attending physicians or instructors.
