PE II Waiver Flashcards
Two forms of exercise and their definitions.
Aerobic: aka cardio. Physical exercise of low to high intensity. Use of oxygen to meet energy demands. Low-mid intensity for longer time.
Anaerobic: intense to trigger lactate formation. Strength, speed power. High intensity, short time.
5 Components of Fitness
CArdiorespiratory fittness, flexability, muscle strength, muscle endurance, body composition
What is cardiorespiratory fitness?
strength of heart and lungs
What is flexibility?
range of motion of joints
What is muscle strength?
ability of muscle to exert force against a resistance
What is muscle endurance?
Ability of muscle to work strenuously over a long period of time
What is body composition?
ratio of lean muscle mass to fat
What does technique do?
engage muscle groups and minimize the chance of injury
What is F.I.T.T.
Frequency (# exercise sessions/week), Intensity (how stressful activity is), Time (how long the exercise is), Type (tells whether it is aerobic or anaerobic)
What is the heart rate + time needed for cardiorespiratory benefit?
target zone for 30 minutes three times a week
How to find maximum heart rate
220-age
ex. 220-15=205
205 is max. heart rate
What is the target heart rate?
how high the heart rate should be during exercise to benefit heart and lungs.
How long should target heart rate be held for strengthening of heart?
30 minutes
Determining target heart rate, formula and general
.70% beginner level
.85% higher level
max. heart rate x .70/.85
Signs of improvement
lower resting heart rate, recovery heart rate (faster rate=improvement)
