From Notes Flashcards
It involves any body movement caused by the muscular contractions.
Physical Activity
give the 4 classifications of Physical Activity
occupational
transports related
household
recreational
a planned program of physical activities
exercise
aim to decrease prevelance of sedentary or inactive life styles
physically active
condition that allows the body to effectively cope with the demands of daily physical activity.
Physical Fitness
has the ability to sustain prolonged rhythmical exercises
aerobic capavity
has the ability of the muscles to regenerate the greatest force
muscular strength
the ability of the muscle to resist fatigue when performing an activity
muscular endurance
ability to move body part through full range motion at joint
flexibility
refers to the total make-up of the body using the concept of two-component model the lean body mass and body fat
body composition
it is the ability to change the position of the body quickly and with control
Agility
it is the ability to use strength that speed
Power
the duration between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement
reaction time
it is the ability to use two or more body parts together
Coordination
it is the ability to retain the centre of mass above the base of support when stationary or moving
balance
states that the body must work harder than what it is used to in order for it to adapt. (how hard?)
overload
States that the body avoids experiencing a gradual increase in workload. (how soon?)
Principle of progression
states that the body will adapt specifically to the workload it experienced.
principle of specificity`
states that no two persons are the same and their rate of adaptation to the same workload differs.
Individuality
states that if an individual stops to exercise, the body gradually returns to its initial of fitness.
reversibility
give the 4 guidelines for determining fitness goals
- write short and long term performance goals.
- set realistic goals.
- write specific goals.
- write fitness goals.
it is a helpful guide in designing a personalized fitness program
FITT principle
give the 4 main factors of FITT principles and its definition
- Frequency - Number of sessions in a week
- Intensity - Difficulty level of the exercise or work demand
- Time - Duration or distance covered in an exercises session
- Type - Mode of exercise or activity
it is essential to rule out the presence of medical conditions wherein strenuous activities and certain types of exercises are contraindicated.
PRELIMINARY PARTICIPATION SCREENING
USED TO EVALUATE THE PRESENCE OF MUSCLE IMBALANCE
MOVEMENT SCREENING
occurs when muscle pair have different strength
muscle imbalance
movement patterns like squat, lunges, trunk, etc.. are shown in what neuromuscular preficiancy
musculoskeletal injuries
essential prior to actual work load to prepare the body for more strenous activity
warm-up
programmed activity that would elicit beneficial adaptations when performed regularly
exercise load
easy exercise, done after a intense activity
cooldown
relaxes muscles and helps return the core temp to resting levels
static stretching
slow but not sustained and it is also performed repeatedly.
Dynamic stretching
