• Identify physical activity recommendations during each life stage.
• In addition to the above, also discuss the following topics for the specified stages of life:
  • Pregnancy - weight gain recommendations
  • Infancy- benefits of breastfeeding and growth rate

  • Adolescence - nutritional issues seen during this stage
  • Adulthood - aging and factors that affect it

In addition to the slides for the body of the presentation, you also need to have a title slide, an introduction slide, a conclusion slide and a reference slide.

Include detailed speaker notes that discuss the bullet points of each slide.  Remember, the speaker notes are your presentation.  

Include a reference slide with citations in APA format.  In addition to the textbook, at least 2 peer-reviewed articles need to be used to support the discussion.
