In Achieve a Healthy Lifestyle we investigate the three main aspects of health: physical, psychological and social. We also discuss physical activity, healthy food choice and appropriate decision making with regard to drug use and risk taking situations. It's all up to us as individuals.

Various sports are used to illustrate the way the energy systems are used under different conditions.

Topics covered include: Where does energy come from? The ATP-CP energy system. The lactic acid system. The aerobic energy system. The interplay of energy systems.

MOTIVATIONS FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

Over 60% of adults worldwide aren't physically active enough. Why is this happening when it's widely known that a physically active lifestyle has numerous health benefits?

An active lifestyle assists in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, some cancers, and physical injuries. Sedentary behaviour carries many dangers and is responsible for an estimated two million deaths per year.

Considering what we know, it's surprising that rates of participation in physical activity are declining, and the number of people classified as 'sedentary' is rising. This program covers a number of issues: Definition of 'physical activity' and 'active lifestyle', Factors that influence patterns of participation, What initially motivates people to take up more exercise, Continued involvement in physical activity. This much-needed program will help to address the worrying increase in physical inactivity.

PUSHING THE LIMITS: IN ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

In 1903, W.G.George ran one mile in a world record time of 4 minutes, 12 seconds. His coach said "the probability is that this record will never be broken."

This program follows the performance of today's record-breakers in distance running in order to understand the fundamental question: is there a limit to human athletic performance?

SPORT AND PSYCHOLOGY

It is now an established concept that the mental preparation of an athlete can have a marked effect on their performance. As a result of this, many coaches, teachers, and instructors have actively started utilising the principles of sports psychology, especially at the elite level. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information available, which actually explains what sport psychology is all about. In this program, we look at the ways sports psychology can overcome barriers to improvement, and improve the performance of athletes. Examples introduce some of the more common mental problems faced by athletes, and then shows how sports psychology can tackle these problems.
