Hypokinetic diseases are conditions related to inactivity or low levels of habitual activity.
The term first originated in the book: Hypokinetic Disease It describes many of the diseases and conditions associated with inactivity and poor fitness.
Health problems brought about by lack of exercise have increased. This can be accounted for, to some extent by the change from jobs needing physical effort to more sedentary occupations
These diseases include:

Hyperkinetic syndrome: a condition marked by pathologically excessive energy seen sometimes in young children with brain injury, mental illness, and attention deficit disorder, and in epileptics; hypermotility and emotional instability are the chief characteristics; distractibility, inattention, and lack of shyness and of fear are common accompaniments.
A type of hyper kinetic condition would be heart failure from your heart beating so fast at a rapid pace.
Several disorders may mimic or accompany attention-deficit disorder. ADHD exists alone in only about one-third of children. Many professionals object to the use of the single term attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder to encompass such a wide spectrum of behaviors, which they believe should be categorized into subgroups. Many of these problems require other modes of treatment and should be diagnosed separately, even if they accompany ADHD.
I think the article is school appropriate. It was very learningful and meaningful. With this knowledge I know i will never get any of these conditions.
