MOBILITY

Question 12

o A person’s flexibility refers to the
ability of your joints to 💡move through
a full range of motion.
o Flexibility exercises help stretch
muscles, protect against injury and allow the maximum range of motion for joints.

Answer 12

FLEXIBILITY

Question 13

▪ Refers to the 💡synergistic coordination of the neuromuscular system to provide a stable base or superimposed functional movements or activities.
▪ More required in more proximal structures for effective positioning and motion of the arms and hands or legs and feet.

Answer 13

STABILITY

Question 14

▪ Conscious effort to 💡relieve tension in the muscle.
▪ After an active contraction of skeletal muscle, a reflex relaxation occurs. The stronger the contraction the greater the subsequent relaxation (Sherrington’s law of reciprocal innervation)
▪ Conscious thought can also affect tension in muscle.

the vital organs of the body like the brain.

Answer 23

COOL DOWN

Question 24

Changes that may occur in muscle during recovery:

Answer 24

Cardiorespiratory
Muscular
Flexibility
Body composition

Question 30

▪ The ability of the heart to 💡pump blood and 💡transport nutrients such as oxygen to and from the working muscle fibers and the rest of the body

▪ Cardiorespiratory training is 💡aerobic exercise, which “burns” carbohydrates with oxygen, so it also “burns” stored body fat to produce energy

Answer 30

Cardiorespiratory

Question 31

Muscular strength and endurance

Muscle training is 💡anaerobic exercise, which “burns” carbohydrates without oxygen to produce energy. It yields lactic acid as a byproduct, which causes that “burning sensation” and fatigue in the muscles.

Muscular strength is power which equals force times velocity, usually 1 repetition maximum.

Muscular endurance is the ability to repeat many repetitions, usually 12 to 30.

MUSCULAR

Question 36

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EXCERCISE

Answer 36

Principle of overload
Principle of progression
Principle of specificity

Question 37

▪ Most 💡basic law of exercise.
▪ The only way to produce fitness and health
benefits is to make your body 💡do more than it normally does.

Answer 37

Principle of overload

Question 38

▪ Amount and intensity of your exercise should be 💡increased gradually.
▪ After your body adapts to an increased exercise intensity, your exercise becomes easy. You will need to increase your work. This can be done by:
o Frequency: ex: add one more day of walking.
o Intensity:add short bursts of jogging.
o Time: add 10-15 mins to your usual
workout time.
o Type: do different activities such as
cycling, aerobics.
▪ Changing any of these variables every 4 to 6
weeks can help you keep that training effect going

Answer 38

PRINCIPLE of PROGRESSION

Question 39

The 💡specific type of exercise you do determines the specific benefit you receive.

Answer 39

PRINCIPLE of SPECIFICITY

Question 40

PRINCIPLE of SPECIFICITY Guidelines:

Answer 40

▪ Continuous rhythmic activities, which include walking, running, aerobics cycling, swimming and dancing.
▪ Cardio strengthens the heart and lungs, increase endurance and burns calories, which helps in weight loss.
▪ General guidelines
o Health Benefits: Moderately intense
cardio 30 mins a day, 5 days a week,
OR
o Vigorous Cardio: 20 mins a day, 3
days a week
o Weight Loss: 60-90 mins of activity,
several days a week

Question 41

STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES

Answer 41

▪ Lift weights to strengthen the muscles,bones and connective tissue

▪ General guidelines:
o Choose 8-10 exercises, targeting the major muscle groups (lower body, chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps and abs)
o For beginners: do one set of 8-16 reps of each exercise to fatigue. More advanced exercisers can do 2-3 sets.
o Train each muscle group 2-3 non- consecutive days a week
o Work each exercise through its full range of motion and use good form

Question 42

FLEXIBILITY GUIDELINES

Answer 42

▪ Stretching is the most overlooked exercise but important for keeping us agile as we get older
▪ Guidelines:
   o Stretch the muscles when they’re
warm
   o Do static stretches with a focus on
tight areas such as the hamstrings
and lower back
   o Stretch a minimum of 2-3 days a
week, better if everyday
   o Stretch within your range of motion.
Stretching shouldn't hurt
   o Hold each stretch for about 15-30
seconds and do 2-4 reps of each stretch
