why we plan

September 26, 2016

Health, fitness and exercise are essential to the sporting and life performance of humans. The relationship between the three is cyclical. Health can be defined as ‘complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not only the absence of illness or infirmity’.

Fitness can be defined as ‘the ability to meet the demands of the environment’ and relates to how physically demanding life is. Therefore, a person doing an office job requires lower levels of physical fitness than an Olympic athlete. There is an increasing number of people who work in jobs which don’t require much physical activity. These jobs are described as non-physical or sedentary and mean the level of fitness required to do them is low. This can lead to more people having low levels of fitness and decreasing health levels in society. This would lead to more people having a low level of fitness in society and health levels would decrease.

Your social networks may matter more than your genetic networks. But if your friends have healthy habits you are more likely to as well. So get into a healthy routine and encourage your friends to do the same. Life happier, together!
