Our attitude and ability to effectively deal with work, school, and career goals greatly affect wellness, performance, interactions with others and overall success.
Discuss the lifestyle management steps and strategies suggested in Chapter One to help reach
wellness (point or sentence form are acceptable). Include the concepts of goalsetting, barriers
and the different stages of change.
Goal-setting: Setting specific and realistic goals is important in achieving wellness. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
Identifying barriers: Recognizing barriers that prevent you from achieving wellness is important. Common barriers include lack of time, lack of support, and lack of knowledge.
Developing a plan: After identifying barriers, a plan should be developed to overcome them. This may involve seeking support, learning new skills, or making changes to your environment.
Taking action: Taking action is the next step towards achieving wellness. This may involve making small changes to your lifestyle or habits.
Maintaining change: Maintaining change is an ongoing process. This involves developing new habits and making wellness a priority in your life.
Stages of change: The stages of change model can help individuals understand their readiness to change and can help guide them through the process of making lasting lifestyle changes.
Self-reflection: Reflecting on your progress and adjusting your plan as needed is important in achieving wellness. It’s important to recognize that setbacks are a normal part of the process and to not give up on your goals.
In Chapter Two of “Wellness: Concepts and Applications,” four fitness principles of physical training specific to the impact of stress are discussed. These principles are:
Progressive Overload: This principle involves gradually increasing the stress placed on the body during exercise. This can be done by increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise sessions. By gradually increasing stress, the body can adapt and become stronger, improving overall fitness and reducing the negative impact of stress.
Specificity: This principle suggests that the type of exercise should be specific to the individual’s fitness goals. For example, if someone’s goal is to improve cardiovascular endurance, they should focus on activities such as running or cycling.
Reversibility: This principle suggests that if an individual stops exercising, they will experience a decline in fitness levels. This principle is important to consider when dealing with stress since stress can often lead to a decrease in motivation or time to exercise. It’s important to stay consistent with exercise to maintain fitness levels and reduce the negative impact of stress.
Individual Differences: This principle recognizes that each individual responds differently to exercise and stress. Some people may be able to handle more stress while others may need to take it slow. It’s important to listen to your body and adjust your exercise program accordingly. Additionally, stress can impact individuals differently, so it’s important to find coping strategies that work best for you.
health-related physical fitness from Chapters 3
Chapter 3: Cardiorespiratory Endurance
Definition: Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to the working muscles during sustained physical activity.
Wellness benefits: Improves the health of the heart and lungs, reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, enhances endurance and overall energy levels.
Assessment: A common test to measure cardiorespiratory endurance is the VO2 max test, which measures the maximum amount of oxygen a person can consume during exercise. Another common test is the submaximal test, which estimates VO2 max based on heart rate response to exercise.
Activities to enhance: Activities such as running, cycling, swimming, or brisk walking can help enhance cardiorespiratory endurance. Engaging in regular aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes per week at a moderate intensity can lead to significant improvements.
health related stuff for chapter 4
Chapter 4: Muscular Strength and Endurance
Definition: Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions over a period of time.
Wellness benefits: Increases bone density, reduces the risk of injury, improves posture and balance, enhances athletic performance, and helps to maintain an overall healthy body composition.
Assessment: Muscular strength can be assessed through exercises such as the one-rep maximum test, which measures the maximum weight a person can lift for one repetition. Muscular endurance can be assessed through tests such as the push-up or curl-up test, which measure the maximum number of repetitions a person can perform.
Activities to enhance: Resistance training exercises, such as weightlifting, resistance band training, and bodyweight exercises, can help enhance muscular strength and endurance. Engaging in resistance training exercises 2-3 times per week, targeting each major muscle group, can lead to significant improvements.
chapter 5
Flexibility
Definition: Flexibility is the ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion.
Wellness benefits: Reduces the risk of injury, improves posture and balance, enhances athletic performance, and can lead to an overall improved quality of life.
Assessment: Flexibility can be assessed through tests such as the sit-and-reach test, which measures the flexibility of the hamstrings and lower back.
Activities to enhance: Stretching exercises such as static stretching, dynamic stretching, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching can help enhance flexibility. Engaging in stretching exercises at least 2-3 times per week can lead to significant improvements.
chapter 6 health related
Chapter 6: Body Composition
Definition: Body composition refers to the ratio of fat to fat-free mass (muscle, bone, and organs) in the body.
Wellness benefits: Maintaining a healthy body composition reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers. It also helps to maintain a healthy weight, improves athletic performance, and can lead to an overall improved quality of life.
Assessment: Body composition can be assessed through tests such as body mass index (BMI), skinfold thickness measurements, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).
Activities to enhance: Engaging in regular physical activity and following a healthy diet can help to maintain a healthy body composition. Incorporating resistance training exercises can also help to increase lean muscle mass and decrease body fat percentage.
