fitness basics

AB
Physical activityany body movement produced by muscles that result in energy expenditure
Exercise• 1. Structured • 2. Planned • 3. Repetitive • 4. Has goal • done to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness
skill related components of physical fitness• agility • balance • coordination • speed • power • reaction time
health related components of physical fitness• cardiorespiratory fitness • muscular strength • muscular endurance • flexibility • body composition
FITT principle• a. frequency-how often per week • b. intensity-how much effort • c. time-how much duration of effort • d. type-what activity are you doing
warm up description and example• a preparation to go from rest to exercise • 1. 5-10 minutes of low rate of effort • 2. Increase HR, blood flow, deep muscle temps, respiration rates, perspiration, viscosity of joint fluid • 3. 2-3 minutes of specific type
cool-down example and description• a decrease in effort post main activity • 1. 5-10 minutes of lower effort • 2. Not allowing blood to pool in lower extremities
Overload principle• exercising at an intensity above normal will induce highly specific adaptations enabling the body to function more efficiently
The Progressive Overload Principle• to encourage improvements the system needs to have increased demands placed on it
The Specificity Principle• specific exercise elicits specific adaptations creating specific training effects
The Reversibility Principle• a reduction in effort causes a decrease in metabolic and exercise capacities
Cardio Respiratory Fitness (Both Short Term and Long Term Benefits);• short term benefits o 1. More O2 available to muscles o 2. Hart pumps more blood/beat o 3. Body recovers faster from exercise o 4. Decrease resting heart rate o 5. Decrease Hr at any moment o 6. Decrease resting BP • long term o 1. Decrease risk of heart disease o 2. Prevention of hypertension o 3. Improved blood lipids, GLU mgt o 4. Overall health improved o 5. Easier everyday functionally o sum=better quality of life?
Muscular Strength and Endurance; benefits• 1. Enhance sport performance • 2. Improved functional fitness • 3. Maintenance of skeletal integrity
flexibility benefits for PA• 1. Improved physical performance and decreased risk of injury; • 2. Reduced muscle soreness and improved posture; • 3. Reduced risk of low back pain; • 4. Increased blood and nutrients to tissues; • 5. Improved muscle coordination; • 6. Enhanced enjoyment of physical activities.
body composition benefits of PA• the ratio of adipose tissue to fat-free mass (muscle, bone and water) • the increase the ratio of fat-free mass to fat, the decrease of weight related health problems
benefits of PA for ppl with disabilitesexercise for ppl with disabilities • 1. Is recommended o a. to counteract bed rest and inactivity • b. maintains optimal functioning of body parts and organs
benefits of PA for older adultsexercise for older adults • 1. Is recommended o a. enhancing functional capacity o b. decreasing the effects of aging o c. emphasis on resistance training o d. be monitored with starting
• maximum heart rate reserve or Karvonen method (HHR) 1. Subtract age from 220  2. difference is theoretical max HR  3. Theoretical max HR-resting HR  4. This is heart rate reserve  5. Heart rate reserve x wanted level of intensity (e.g. 65X)  6. Add this sum to your resting heart rate and you have calculated the training level you need to achieve health benefits
Describe Training Guidelines for Resistance Training for Children• 1. Needs to be supervised • 2. Focus on correct form and breathing • 3. Insure full rom • 4. Not focused on excessive amount of weight (i.e disrupts control) • 5. Amount of resistance determined by amount lifted at fatigue at the 10th rep • 6. A typical workout o a. 15 reps per set o b. 1-3 sets o c. 2-3 nonconsecutive days o d. increase made by 2x2 rule • 7. Reference Faigenbaum: a strength training for children and adolescents
heat cramp symptoms and treatments: muscle cramps, t:Rest in cool spot, drink fluids, avoid salty foods
Heat exhaustion symptoms and treatmentss:Sweating, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, high temps, pale skin; T:Rest in cool spot, cool body, cool fluids, call EMT
heatstroke symptoms and treatments: Dry or sweaty hot, flushed skin, headache, vomiting, altered state and seizures; T:Cool body, sip cool fluids, call EMT
Frostbite symptoms and treatmentss:White or grayish yellow skin area, skin that feels unusually firm or waxy, numbness; T:Warm place, area with arm water or body heat-no extreme heat. Do not rub
hypothermia symptoms and treatmentss: Shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, slurred speech, memory loss, drowsiness; T:Take temp, warm room, remove wt clothing, warm body core, warm fluids-not alcohol, keep dry and warm, call EMT
