Intro Kinesiology Midterm Flashcards
Behaviors to promote wellness
- Maintain healthy body weight and healthy diet
- stress management
- avoid tobacco, drugs, and limit alcohol consumption
- remain physically active-use it or lose it
self-efficacy
The belief in one’s ability to take action and perform a specific task
extrinsic motivation
Performing a behavior/activity for a reward to avoid punishment
intrinsic motivation
Engaging in a behavior because it is personally rewarding
“regular exercise”
any planned, physical activity aimed at improving physical fitness. Performed 3-5 Days per week for 20-60 min per session
How often should strength training be done?
twice per week
How often should stretching be done per week?
2-3 times per week
moderate intensity
- noticeable increase in heart rate/breath rate
- can be done comfortably for 30-45 min
vigorous intensity
- significant increase in heart rate and breath rate
- inability to talk while exercising
What is the goal of physical training/ activity?
- produce long term changes, and improve body functioning
- immediate changes to long-term benefits
- adaptation to stress
- learn movement skills
- improve quality of life by completed activities of daily living (ADL)
What are the 5 components of physical fitness?
- Cardiovascular endurance
- Muscular strength
- Muscular endurance
- Flexibility
- Body composition
FITTE Principle
Frequency Intensity Time Type Enjoyment
What are the 4 principles of fitness?
Progressive Overload
Specificity
Reversibility
Individual Differences
progressive overload
highly individual
-body must be placed under increasing stress in order to produce long-term adaptation and desired fitness outcomes
specificity
-to improve a particular fitness component or skill, one must perform exercises/ activities specifically aimed at improving that component
reversibility
cardiovascular vs strength losses
the body adjusts to increased levels of inactivity just as it does to increasing activity
(50% of fitness gains are lost within 2 months of physical inactivity)
individual differences
each individual responds differently to training
therefore, no one program is appropriate for everybody
What are the immediate effects of exercise?
^heart rate (HR)
^blood pressure (BP)
^body temperature
^oxygen consumption
What are the long term effects of exercise?
- improved body composition, muscular strength and endurance
- increased efficiency of cardiovascular system
- improved mental well being
Light exercise intensity guidelines
<50% maximum HR
Moderate exercise intensity guidelines
50-70% Maximum HR
Vigorous exercise intensity guidelines
> 70% maximum HR
What’s an objective measurement of exercise intensity?
HR
-measured in beats per minute (bpm)
