MODULE 1 Flashcards
It is essential for well-being during this time of COVID-19 pandemic.
Exercise
_____one of the simplest things you can do for your health. It has many benefits, including improving your overall health and fitness and reducing your risk for many chronic diseases.
Regular Exercise
PRINCIPLES OF EXERCISE
Individuality
Specificity
Progression
Overload
Adaptation
Recovery
Reversibility
Each person has a different response to an exercise or training program and each person needs to exercise and train accordingly.
Individuality
Individuals has its own differences. In planning an exercise program, consider the following factors:
- Genetic ability
- Predominance of muscle fiber types
- Chronological or athletic age
- Mental state
Another factor to consider in designing an exercise is the ___. Specific means “___”. In planning an exercise, choose an exercise that is right for your ____.
Specificity, “on point”, objective
TRUE OR FALSE
Improving your ability in a sport is very specific. If you want to be a great pitcher, running laps will help your overall conditioning but will not develop your skills at throwing or the power and muscular endurance required to throw a fastball fifty times in a game.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE
Swimming will help improve your aerobic endurance but will not develop tissue resiliency and muscular endurance for your running legs
True
Swimming will help improve your aerobic endurance but will not develop tissue resiliency and muscular endurance for your running legs
Exercise training is a step-by-step process. You need to practice low intensity exercises before proceeding to more intense and hard ones.
Progression
True or False
To run a 10-kilometer race, athletes need to build up distance over repeated sessions in a reasonable manner in order to improve muscle adaptation as well as improve soft tissue strength/resiliency.
True
Over time the body becomes accustomed to exercising at a given level. This adaptation results in improved efficiency, less effort, and less muscle breakdown at that level.
Adaptation
The body cannot repair itself without rest and time to recover.
Recovery
TRUE OR FALSE
Both short periods like hours between multiple sessions in a day and longer periods like days or weeks to recover from a long season are necessary to ensure your body does not suffer from exhaustion or overuse injuries. Motivated athletes often neglect this.
True
Once you achieve your fitness goals, maintaining it is a very important factor.
Reversibility
TRUE OR FALSE
Continuing the application of a certain exercise will lose your ability to successfully complete that exercise again.
False
Discontinuing the application of a certain exercise will lose your ability to successfully complete that exercise again.
The ___ are an exercise prescription to help an individual understand how long and how hard they should exercise.
FITT principles
FITT is acronym that stands for
Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
It can be applied to exercise in general or specific components of exercise
FITT
(how often) is how often a person performs the targeted health-related physical activity. For each component of health-related fitness, a safe frequency is __ times a week.
FREQUENCY, 3-5
(how hard) is how hard a person exercises during a physical activity period. ___ can be measured in different ways, depending on the related health-related component.
INTENSITY
(how long) is the length of the physical activity. As with the other aspects of the FITT principle, time varies depending on the health-related fitness component targeted.
TIME,
(what kind) refers to the specific physical activity chosen to improve a component of health-related fitness.
TYPE OR SPECIFICITY
The given situation is an example of what FITT principle?
An individual wishing to increase arm strength must exercise the triceps and biceps, while an individual wishing to increase aerobic endurance needs to jog, run, swim, or perform some other aerobically challenging activity.
TYPE OF SPECIFICITY
This is an example of what FITT Principle?
Flexibility or stretching may take 10-30 seconds for each stretch, while the minimum time for performing aerobic activity is 20 minutes of continuous activity.
Time
This is an example of what FITT principle?
Monitoring heart rate is one way to gauge intensity during aerobic endurance activities, but gives no indication of intensity during flexibility activities.
INTENSITY
PARTS OF EXERCISE
- Warm-up
- Proper Exercise
- Cool-down
