Lecture Notes
We'll end the lecture here today with this video about sedentary lifestyles, and the video presents lots of alarming statistics on the rates of physical inactivity in this country, and highlights some of the societal changes across time and throughout our history that have affected our activity levels. And I don't leave you with this to end on a down note, but we have to keep in mind the way our sedentary lives developed as we try to think about ways that we can improve the lives and help people become more physically active. So I give you this video not to get you depressed about the sedentary lifestyles in our country today, but to really think about some of the causes and think about how we can make changes so that the health of our nation is better in the future.
