Ch 6 - Slides - Quizlet Flashcards
Physical Fitness
Overall health and ability to perform physical activities
Health-Related Components of Fitness
Cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, body composition
Wellness Benefits of Physical Activity
Improved concentration, memory, learning, and overall health
Endurance Training
Enhances heart performance and increases blood supply to tissues
Muscular Strength
Amount of force a muscle can produce, vital for everyday activities
Flexibility
Ability to move joints through a full range of motion
Body Composition
Proportion of body fat to fat-free mass, impacts overall health
Sarcopenia
Age-related loss of muscle tissue and function
Resistance Training
Lifting greater resistances than usual to develop muscle strength
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, improved through endurance training
Active Transportation
Using physical activity like walking or cycling for transport
Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guide
Provides guidelines on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep
Moderate Intensity Activity
Includes brisk walking, beneficial for overall health
Vigorous Activities
High-intensity activities like jogging and cross-country skiing
Muscle-Strengthening Activity
Important for muscle and bone health, outlined in age-specific guidelines
Weight Management Guidelines
Recommend increased daily activity for overweight or obese individuals
Structured Systematic Exercise Program
Needed for improving physical fitness with specific recommendations
Sedentary Time
Low energy activity, detrimental to health, independent of activity level
Poor Metabolic Functioning
Unhealthy blood glucose, insulin levels, large waist circumference
Type 2 Diabetes Development
Result of sedentary time, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, cancer
Reducing Sedentary Time
Breaks every 20 minutes, crucial for health despite activity level
Physical Activity Guidelines
CSEP recommends 150 minutes, decrease sedentary time, be active
Improved Cardiovascular Functioning
Enhances heart’s oxygen delivery, arterial health, sexual function
Efficient Metabolism
Enhances oxygen use, energy generation, cell protection, inflammation reduction
Improved Body Composition
Endurance exercise boosts caloric expenditure, resistance training increases muscle mass
Disease Prevention
Exercise reduces heart disease, stroke risk, improves blood fat balance
