  • Front
  • Back
any body movement carried out by the skeletal muscles and requiring energy
physical activity
planned, structured, repetitive, movement of the body designed to improve or maintain physical fitness
exercise
a set of physical attributes that allow the body to respond or adapt to the demands and stress of physical effort
physial fitness
physical capacities that contribute to health
health-related fitness
name the 5 health related components of physical fitness
cardiorespiratory endurance
muscular strength
muscular endurance
flexibility
body composition
the ability of the body to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity
cardiorespiratory endurance
the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort
muscular strength
the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to remain contracted or to retract repeatedly
muscular endurance
the range of motion in a joint or group of joints
felxibility
the proportion of fat and fat-free mass(uscle, bone, and water) in the body
body composition
when the body adapts to the particular type and amount of stress placed on it
specificity
to develop a particular fitness component, ___________
perform exercises specifically designed for that component
placing increasing amounts of stress on the body causes adaptations that improve fitness; progression is critical
progressive overload
FITT
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type
FITT principle for overload
frequency- how often
intensity- how hard
time- how long (duration)
type- mode of activity
fitness improvements are lost when demands on the body are lowered
reversibility
if you stop exercising, up to _____% of fitness improvements are lost within ____ months
50%
2 months
setting goals: SMART
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Time frame specific
very small blood vessels that distribute blood to all parts of the body
capillaries
left ventricle get bigger; heart becomes more efficient
left ventricular hypertrophite (LVH)
the sum of all chemical processes necessary to maintain the body
metabolism
benefits of cardiorespiratory endurance exercise
improved cardiorespiratory function
improved cellular metabolism
reduced risk of chronic disease
better control of body fat
improved immune function
improved psychological and emotional well-being
2 ways to monitor your heart rate
carotid artery in the neck
radial artery in the wrist
excessive loss of fluid
dehydration
sudden development of muscle spasms and pain
heat cramps
heat illness related to dehydration from exertion in hot weather
heat exhaustion
a severe and often fatal heat illness characterized by significantly elevated core body temperature
heat stroke
smallest component of muscle; where we get all of the training effects
myofibrils
an increase in the size of muscle fibers
hypertrophy
decrease in the sixe of muscle fibers
atrophy
acell and all of the fibers it controls
motor unit
fatigue resistant
don't contract rapidly and forcefully
rely primarily on oxidative energy system
slow-twitch fibers
contract rapidly and forcefully
fatigue quickly
rely more on non-oxidative energy sytems
fast-twitch fibers
muscle contraction without a change in the length of the muscle
static (isometric) exercise
muscle contraction with a change in the length of the muscle
dynamic (isotonic) exercise
muscle applies force as it shortens
concentric contraction
muscle applies force as it lengthens
eccentric contraction
FITT in exercise
F- days per week
I- amount of resistance
T- number of repetitions and sets
T- strength training exercises for all major uscle groups
