Physically Active People Have Lower Health Risk

The current European and American recommendations concerning physical activity indicate:

✅150 min per week of moderate physical exercise (30 min/day, 5 days/week)
or
✅ 75 min/week of physical exercise of vigorous intensity (15 min/day, 5 days/week).

Practicing physical exercise is recommended at a frequency of at least three to five sessions per week.

The best results, in terms of health benefits, occur with a daily workout and a combination of exercise of both moderate and vigorous intensity, performed in sessions with a duration of at least 10 min.

Cesare found the following benefits in health conditions and illness.
✔️48% Decrease Risk Of Depression
✔️33% Decrease Risk Of Hypertension
✔️35% Decrease Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes
✔️66% Decrease Risk Of Bone Fractures
✔️20% Decrease Risk Of Breast Cancer
✔️25% Decrease Risk Of Coronary Heart Disease & Stroke

High-Load Strengthening In Hypermobile Shoulders Lead To Greater Improvements In Shoulder Functions

People with hypermobile shoulders are at greater risk of developing shoulder complaints.

Liaghat et al. (2022) compared a low-load strengthening program against a high-load one for self-reported shoulder functioning.

According to results, the high-load strengthening in hypermobile shoulders led to a greater improvement in shoulder function.

How Does Exercise Manage Diabetes?

It’s estimated that around 1.7 million Australians are living with this diabetes. Worryingly, one in two people doesn’t know that they have it. If left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to blindness, amputation, kidney failure, heart attack, and stroke. ⁠

Exercise cannot reverse the damage to the cells in the pancreas, leading to decreased insulin production. However, exercise can improve the way the muscles respond to insulin, which, in turn, helps regulate the blood glucose level for some hours after exercise.⁠

If you’re living with a chronic condition, injury, or illness, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist is the best person to help you get moving again. They understand the challenges and will work with you (and your doctor) to prescribe safe and effective exercise interventions.⁠

The Injury & Performance Equation

We wanted to share the importance of understanding the Injury Performance Equation: Injury = Load > Capacity

In simple terms, this equation represents the balance between the stress we put on our bodies through exercise (load), and our bodies ability to handle that stress (capacity). When the load exceeds our capacity, that's when injury can occur.

As an Physio's and EP's, our job is to dive into the delicate balance between pushing your limits and avoiding injury or further injury.

Every time we train, we are improving our capacity to handle increased training and life stress.

Pop in to either our locations or for more information, give us a call on (02) 6262 4464 to see how our staff at Sport and Spinal Physiotherapy can help you better your knowledge about what you can do to make sure you do not exceed your capacity threshold and better your performance.

- 15% at 3 months,
- 21% at 3-6 months,
- 16% at 6-12 months,
- 21% at 12-24 months,
- 16% at follow-up longer than 2 years.
