Midterm 2 Flashcards
Spaceship Earth
Worldview encouraging everyone on earth to act as a harmonious crew to work together toward greater good
How does alteration of Earths physical environment impact human health?
.
Five domains of environmental impact
- air
- water
- land
- food supply
- waste products
Human population
Total numbers of humans currently living
How does human population stress water
Over population can lead to an increase in water pollution
How does human population stress air
Cause air pollution = health problems
How does human population stress land
Deforestation = animals losing habitats
How does human population stress NRG resources
.
Physical activity
All leisure + non leisure body movement produced by skeletal muscles that result in an increase in NRG (caloric expenditure)
Exercise
Activity requiring physical effort carried out to sustain/improve health and fitness
Sport
Form of ensure time physical activity that is planned, structured and competitive
Active living
Away of life in which physical activity is valued and integrated in to living by various means
FITT principle
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type of activity
Health benefits of exercise
- reduce BP
- Improve lipoprotein profile
- increase insulin sensitivity
- prevents mid to moderate depressive disorders and anxiety
- improve bone mass, muscle strength an body comp
- prolongs life
Compare aerobic vs anaerobic
Both use energy (atp)
Contrast aerobic vs anaerobic activity
Anaerobic is without oxygen - moderate duration, high intensity
Aerobic is with oxygen - extended duration, moderate intensity
Designing aerobic fitness
- warm up
- aerobic activity (walking, jogging,running)
- cool down
Muscle strength
Capacity to generate a large amount of force in a single contraction
Muscle endurance
Ability to perform many repetitions with submaximal resistance
Static flexibility
Range of motion when a joint is passively moved and remains in specific position
Dynamic flexibility
Involves movements while stretching, gradually increasing range of motion
Physical fitness
- flexibility
- muscular strength and endurance
- body comp
- cardiorespiratory
Performance
- agility
- balance
- speed
- anaerobic power and capacity
- rxn time
Exercise risks
- traumatic (acute)
- overuse (chronic)
- general over stress
- dehydration
- overtraining/compulsion
- sudden death (CVD issues)
