Physical Activity Assessment: Fill & Download for Free

This is a loaded question and hopefully somebody would rephrase it. That said, physical fitness is indeed a major concern among South Asians. It is not just reflected in our Olympics medal count, but also in increased risk of heart diseases. This factor is especially seen among Indian immigrants in UK and USA.Here are some relevant research abstracts.How physically active are South Asians in the United Kingdom? A literature reviewWe identified 12 studies in adults and five in children. Various methods were used to assess physical activity and fitness, but all the studies reported lower levels among South Asian groups. The differences were substantial, particularly among women and older people.Physical activity among South Asian Indian immigrants: an integrative review.Regardless of the PA (Physical Activity) measure used, all studies reported low PA levels in at least 40% of the participants.South Asian children 'less active' We're finding no difference in their physical activity patterns at school, lunch or break. They seem to do similar amounts of activity at weekends. But it's weekdays after school when they are less activeThat said, among Indians in India, there is a study showing higher level of physical activity. I don't know how to interpret it.The myth of the physically unfit IndianOnly 15.6% of Indians were found to be physically inactive. The British (63.3%), Japanese (60.2%), Italians (54.7%), Irish (53.2%) and Americans (40.5%) were found to be more physically inactive than Indians.

Get off the internet and go do your homework.Better yet, go play outside.I could look up the BMI charts for a 14 year old and compare them to your height and weight, but who cares? That’s honestly fairly pointless. BMI isn’t a great system. It doesn’t take into account factors that to following much simpler technique does.Look in the mirror.Assess yourself. Honestly.If you are fat, make better, healthier food choices while finding a physical activity that you love. Eat a bit less than you want.If you are skinny, make better, healthier food choices while finding a physical activity that you love. Eat a bit more than you want.If you are neither, don’t worry about this. But still make better, healthier food choices while finding a physical activity that you love.Actually follow my advice.Check out my new Space, follow me on Instagram for daily diet and training tips!

Men need to understand females’ virginity.People think that the only way to know if a girl is a virgin or not is that it's a must every girl bleeds during her first sex and am sure majority have same mindset but this is wrong.Bleeding doesn't determine if a girl is a virgin or not, it is very important to educate our young men and women on this issue of girls bleeding during first sex...THE MYTH ABOUT FEMALE VIRGINITY -why most women won't bleed the first time they have sex.There's a very common myth in South and Central Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan etc.) and Africa (Nigeria and many other nations ) that you can tell if a woman is a virgin, by whether or not she bleeds the first time she has sex. There is zero truth in this.To understand why some women bleed and some don't, it's very important to understand what the hymen is. The hymen is a membrane that tends to cover part of the vaginal opening (it does not always block or cover the entire vagina, as some people mistakenly think). NOT ALL WOMEN HAVE A HYMEN.The hymen also differs from woman to woman - like all women have different heights and weights and features, all women also have different amounts and types of hymen.Some women have thick hymens, some have very thin hymens, and some women have NO hymens at all. Some women have larger hymens, some women naturally have a very little amount of hymen that covers only a small portion of their vaginal opening (and hence does not really get in the way, during first-time sex). In addition to this, the hymen wears away on its own as you grow up.For most women, the hymen wears away on its own with exercise, bicycling, horseback riding -it can wear off with pretty much any other physical activity, even dancing! - or from using tampons when menstruating.Especially if the hymen is very small or thin, most of it tends to wear away on its own as a girl grows up. If a woman is born WITHOUT a hymen, she won't bleed the first time she has sex. If a woman has a small or thin hymen, she might not bleed the first time she has sex. If a woman's hymen has worn away on its own (which is very common as girls grow up), she won't bleed the first time she has sex. The result is that the overwhelming majority -at least 63% of women - will NOT bleed the first time they have sex, according to a study published by the British Medical Journal.Women who do bleed include: - Women with thick hymens (who constitute a small percentage of the population) - Younger girls. Because the hymen wears away on its own with time, a 16-year old has a higher chance of bleeding than a 25-year old. By the time a girl is of or above the legal age of consent - 18, 20, 24 years of age, for example - most of her hymen is likely to have worn away on its own, meaning it's unlikely that she'll bleed a lot, if at all.However, even a young girl can be physically active, have a thin or small hymen, or have no hymen at all, meaning she might not bleed during first-time sex. Most often, women who bleed tend to be women who are dealt with roughly during sex. If the guy forces himself inside the girl, when she isn't ready, relaxed or aroused enough, he is likely to cause injury or bleeding.Because most people think it's normal for women to bleed the first time they have sex, they don't realize that this bleeding is a result of the woman having been hurt, and not of the hymen breaking. Painful first-time sex is generally because the woman is not relaxed or aroused enough, and gets hurt as a result; it is rarely ever because of the hymen breaking. The bottom line is that there is no way to assess female virginity.Bleeding does not have anything to do with virginity - it has to do with the kind of hymen a girl has, and hymens differ from girl to girl from birth. The result is that only a small percentage of women bleed the first time! (Only 37% bleed during first-time sex, according to the study published in the British Medical Journal.)Why is this so important to be aware of?Women all over the world get abused, injured and even killed due to the myth of 'virgin bleeding'. Because most people (men AND women) think that bleeding is a sign of virginity, women who don't bleed the first time have been divorced, suffered from suspicion leading to domestic violence and abuse, and even killed for honour.Educating people that a girl does not necessarily have to bleed the first time she has sex - because not all girls have thick hymens, and some are born with no hymen at all - is important because it can literally save lives.Sex has got lot of stigma attached to it and plus no one would want to accept certain bio-medical facts that we have been misunderstood for centuries.Kindly share this and save lives.Picture and Content Courtesy: Facebook and MedSnap Post (Medical Students Snaps)Gayathri SureshFor more information, suggested by Yash Patel, kindly watch the below video:Thank you for reading guys and your comments are really valuable and motivating.
