PE Flashcards
refers to the ability of your body systems to work together efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living. Being efficient means doing daily activities with the least effort possible.
Physical Fitness
This is primarily associated with disease prevention and functional health. Participating in regular health-related fitness helps you control your weight, prevents diseases and illness, improves mood, boosts energy, and promotes better sleep.
Health Related Fitness (HRF)
(also known as body fat percent) refers to the lean body mass and fat body mass and is a method of describing what the body is made of.
Body Composition
Is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform repetitive contractions against a force for an extended period of time. The greater your muscular endurance the higher number of repetitions you could complete. [Exercises: Sit-ups, curl-ups and Bench press]
Muscular Endurance
is the level at which your heart, lungs, and muscles work together when you’re exercising for an extended period of time.
Cardio-Respiratory Endurance
Refers to the greatest amount of force that can be generated from a single maximal effort. [Exercises: Weightlifting, Push-ups]
Muscular Strength
The ability to use joints fully through a wide range of motion.
Flexibility
enhances one’s performance in athletic or sports events.
Skills Related Fitness
The ability to change and control the direction and position of your body while maintaining constant rapid motion
Agility
The ability to control or stabilize your equilibrium while moving and staying still.
Balance
The ability to use your eyes and ears to determine and direct the smooth movement of your body.
Coordination
The ability to move your body parts quickly while at the same time applying the maximum force of your muscles
Power
The ability to react or respond quickly to what you hear, see, or feel.
Reaction Time
The ability to move your body or parts of your body quickly
Speed
describes how often you exercise
Frequency
the level of effort during exercise (low-moderate-vigorous)
Intensity
refers to the time of day you exercise and how long each session lasts
Time
kind of exercise you should do to reach your fitness goals.
Type
The way the body responds to physical activity is very specific to the activity itself.
Principle of Specificity
Rest is required for the body to recover from the training and allow adaptation. An inadequate amount of rest may lead to overtraining.
Recovery
bodies adapt to the current exercise routine over time
Principle of Progression
in order to progress and improve, putting the body under additional stress beyond what is normal is key
Principle of Overload
Injury caused by repetitive motion or moving in awkward position
Overexertion
Caused by excessive loss of body fluids due to heat and lack of water
Dehydration
Condition characterized by abnormally high body temperature
Hyperthermia
Condition of having an abnormally low body temperature
Hypothermia
