Why Physical Activity Matters and What to Do about It! |
| Description: |
Time: 3 hours, 16 minutes
Credit: 4 type-2 BACB CEs
Price: $52.00
Presenter: Nick Green, M.S., BCBA
Health is a variable that plays a factor in all of our lives. Even with the rise of gloomy health statistics, much of applied behavior analysis literature and practice does not focus on improving physical health and wellness of consumers. A scientific approach to understanding areas such as physical activity and hunger can provide practitioners a new set of focus areas when applying behavior analysis. This course provides an in-depth understanding of how to define, measure and improve physical health. Throughout the course, participants will learn how a behavior analytic approach can improve their own, consumers’ or employees’ physical health and well-being.
Objectives:
- Define health and physical health.
- List physical activity recommendations for children, adults and older adults.
- Select appropriate dependent variables related to physical activity.
- Describe successful interventions related to physical activity.
- State an evolutionary understanding of physical activity and movement.
- Describe the principles of basic nutrition and fat accumulation.
- Expand upon motivating operations related to physical activity and hunger.
- List maintaining variables related to healthy behaviors.
- Define sedentary behavior.
- List multiple risks associated with sedentary behavior.
- Describe ethical issues related to physical health.
