INTRODUCTION:

Physical inactivity has a major donor to mortality. It has been reported that around 3.2 million deaths per year are attributable to physical inactivity (World Health Organization, 2020). Many non-communicable chronic health conditions prevailing in both developed and developing countries are linked with physical inactivity. Five leading risk factors for death are smoking, high blood glucose, high blood pressure, physical inactivity and obesity. A glance at these risk factors reveals that high blood pressure and glucose levels as well as obesity are connected with physical inactivity (Taylor, 2014). Physical inactivity increases the risk of many challenging health conditions, which include the non-communicable disease which is prevailing throughout worldwide is non communicable diseases like coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, breast and colon cancers, and shortens life expectancy. The main cause of these diseases is one and only that much of the world’s population is sedentary, this shows a major public health problem. The impact of physical inactivity on these major Non communicable diseases by estimating how much disease could be avoided if those inactive people were to become active and to estimate gain in life expectancy, at the population level. if it is seen Globally, It is estimated that persons those who are sedentary is responsible for 6% of the burden of disease from CHD, 7% of type 2 diabetes, 10% of breast cancer and 10% of colon cancer. Inactivity is responsible for 9% of premature mortality as 57 million deaths that occurred worldwide in 2008. If inactivity were not eradicated, but cut short instead by 10% or 25%, >533,000 and >1.3 million deaths, respectively, may be prevented each year. By eliminating physical inactivity, life probability of the world’s population is estimated to increase by 0.68 (0.41 to 0.95) years. Physical inactivity has a major health impact globally. Eradication of physical inactivity would remove between 6% and 10% of the major NCDs of CHD, type 2 diabetes, and breast and colon cancers, and increase life expectancy (Lee et al., 2012). Protein is a class of nitrogen-containing compounds formed by amino acids. (Wilmore & Costil, 2004). Protein unlike carbohydrates and fats contains nitrogenous in summation to carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Each and every cell requisite protein. factually, Protein are found throughout the entire body with muscle tissue being the major

location Protein don’t liberate energy but instead they are considered to be the constructing blocks of tissue. This is the provide not only the basic material that is essential for muscular functioning. While there are over 20 different known amino acids in protein 8 of these cannot be generated within the body itself and therefore must be obtained directly from the food, we intake These are termed as essential amino acid, the left over is called nonessential can be manufactured within the body from the diet we intake. The 8 essential amino acid are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine phenylalanyl, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Not more than 1 gram of protein is needed daily/day. factually the United States food and nutrition board has recommended a daily protein allowance of 0.9 gms/kg body weight for adolescent and adult men and women. (Shaver, 1981) With aging there is a general tendency to accumulated surge in body fat. This is typically seen in both relative and absolute terms. There are numerous reasons normally given for this increase in body fat. With aging there is a decrease in one’s ability to mobilize stored fatty acids from adipose tissue to generate energy fuel. This of course results in less fatty acid being burned up. Also, at cusp of aging people generally surge their food intake but they also adopt sedentary lifestyle. This obviously means that they are taking more calories than they burned up. The amount of fat surged or lost with increase it inversely proportional to ones eating and exercise habits. therefore, part in decrease in lean body weight with age is due to the decrease in muscle size along with the decline in calcium and phosphorus content of the bone (Shaver, 1981). According to the American Council on Exercise, women need at least 10 to 13 percent of their body composition to come from needed fat to be in good health, while men need at least 2 to 5 percent. (Percentage body fat, n.d). Muscle mass drops at about 1% to 2% per year after the age of 50 years. (Vonet al., 2010) The age-related loss of mass of skeletal muscle prompts an increased risk of falls and fractures, physical disability, mobility disorders, and mortality. (Roland et al. 2008). The advantageous effect of physical activity in avoiding adversarial health results is widely certified. There is increasing evidence that older adults who involve in physical activity are more likely to experience better physical function and have a lengthier active life expectancy than sedentary older adults. Generally, the results highlight how studying the mechanism


of load-induced skeletal muscle mass is leading the development of pharmaceutical interventions to promote muscle growth in those unwilling or unable to perform resistance exercise (Marcotte et al., 2015). Exercise prompts similar signaling and genetic factor expression profiles in skeletal muscle of untrained or recreationally active individuals, what is currently unclear is how the specificity of the molecular response is modified by prior training history skeletal muscle and evidence for the interference effect with contemporaneous training within the framework of the specificity of training adaptation (Coffey & Hawley,2017). Authorities generally conduct acknowledge that the normal body weight between ages of 25 and 30 years should not be exceeded throughout life. A weight in excess of 15 percent of that is considered as normal would be considered tending toward obesity whereas 25 percent above normal is grossly obese. Body mass index (BMI) is now the most widely used clinical standard to estimate underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity. To determine a person’s BMI, body weight in kilograms is divided by the square of body height in meters’kg/m 2 (Wilmore & Costil,2004).

TABLE 1.1 Classification of overweight and obesity by BMI

Even though BMI cannot be technically classified as a body composition measurement method it has revived widespread use with adults for clinical and epidemiological assessment. the BMI requires only of height and weight for its measurement it is well-defined as body weight divided by the square of the height expressed in kg/m2. The development of BMI norms from large data bases permits the classifications of individuals into categories of underweight, normal weight and overweight and obese. (Koley, 2006).
