Q

what are the 5 components of physical fitness

A
  • Cardiorespiratory endurance
  • Muscular strength
  • Muscular endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Body composition
17
Q

Cardiorespiratory endurance

A

The ability to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise at
moderate to high levels of intensity

18
Q

relative strength

A

the maximum force exerted relative to body weight, size and muscle size

19
Q

True or false. Greater muscle mass means slower energy use and a lower rate of metabolism

A

False
Greater muscle mass means faster energy use and a higher rate of metabolism

20
Q

Body Composition

A

the proportion of fat and fat-free mass on the body

21
Q

fat free mass

A

(muscles. bones, water)

22
Q

neuromuscular components of fitness

A
  • Speed
  • Power
  • Agility
  • Balance
  • Coordination
  • Reaction and movement time
23
Q

how many Canadians are
estimated to have a long-term
condition or health-related
problem that limits their daily
activities

A

6.2 Million

24
Q

Basic Principles of Physical Training

A
  • Specificity
  • Progressive overload
  • Reversibility
  • Individual differences
25
Q

what is Specificity

A

Adapting to Type of Training
* To develop a particular fitness component, you must perform
exercises designed specifically for that component.

26
Q

Progressive Overload

A

Adapting to Amount of Training

  • When the body is stressed by a greater-than-normal amount or intensity of exercise, the body adapts and improves fitness.
27
Q

what is FITT_VP (and one thing about each letter)

A

*Frequency: how often
* Intensity: how hard
* Time: how long (duration)
* Type: mode of activity
* Volume: how much (frequency x intensity x time)
* Progression: how a program advances over time

28
Q

how many days a week should you exercise

A

3-5

29
Q

what is reversibility

A

The body adjusts to lower levels of physical activity in the same way
it adjusts to higher levels so a person stops exercising = some fitness improvements are lost in as little as two weeks’ time

30
Q

limits on Adaptability

A

Some people are able to improve faster than others bc of genes and heredity

31
Q

5 steps for designing an exercise Program

A

Getting medical clearance
Assessing current level of fitness
Setting goals (SMART GOALS)
Choosing activities for a balanced program
Physical Activity Training for Health

32
Q

training guide lines

A

Train the Way You Want Your Body to Change
Train Regularly (Consistency is the key)
Start Slowly and Get in Shape Gradually
Warm Up Before Exercise
Cool Down After Exercise
Exercise safe
Get enough rest
Cycle the volume and intensity of workouts
Vary activates
Train with partner
Train mind
Get help in advances
Keep the exercise program in perspective
