PEH Flashcards
It is any movement made by the muscles of the body that requires exertion of energy
such as running, swimming, dancing, etc.
Physical Activity
promotes a healthy lifestyle as it improves our health and helps lower
risks of illnesses.
Regular physical activity
also called “cardio” exercises. Normally, these activities
increase our heart and breathing rate. They cause us to sweat profusely and breathe harder.
Aerobic Activities
TWO TYPES OF AEROBIC ACTIVITIES
Moderate-Intensity Aerobics
Vigorous-Intensity Aerobics
are exercises in which groups of muscles work or hold against a force or some weight.
Muscle Strengthening Activities
The muscles in our body then start to grow larger and stronger. This stimulation and repair process is
called
Muscle Hypertrophy
This kind of activity (sometimes called weight-bearing or weight-
loading activity) produces a force on the bones that promotes bone growth and strength.
Bone Strengthening Activities
- is needed to produce physical movement, maintain our body temperature and keep up
with all the metabolic activities in the body.
Energy
In our body’s physical movement relays on a compound Adenosine Triphosphate -
Creatine Phosphate (ATP-CP).
Energy System
- is a molecule/carbohydrate combined with protein.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
is the carbohydrates, fats and protein is the fuel for
energy.
Creatinine Phosphate or Phosphocreatine (CP)
is a dominant source of muscle energy for high intensity physical activities. It provides high
bursts of start-up energy that lasts around ten seconds or less.
ATP-CP
- Is the quickest way to resynthesize ATP. It is
the fastest way of acquiring energy to muscle.
Phosphagen System or the CrP-ATP system)
-is also known as the glycolytic energy system, an energy system
that supplies energy for medium to high intensity physical activities.
Anaerobic Glycolysis System (Lactic)
provides energy for low intensity physical activities that last from two minutes
to a few hours.
Aerobic Energy System (Oxidative system)
The amount of sleep a person need
6-8 hours
This is the most common bad sleeping habit of most people. In order to
submit a project, a paper, or some other work at the last minute, they cram to finish it, staying up all night until they are done.
Staying up all night
Social media is massively addictive. Many people would spend a lot of their
time browsing social media sites such as Facebook and YouTube.
Internet Addiction
Eating could be one of the things we do that give us comfort—but should
be discouraged just before bedtime.
Eating Before Sleeping
people are often found to suffer from malnutrition due to lack of adequate nutrients in the
body.
Underweight
is essential to everyone’s health to allow the body to rest and regenerate.
Sleep
is part of our daily routine to to increase our energy, to replenish our strength, and to power our minds to think more clearly to handle problems.
Eating
an athlete needs the right kind of food that can
provide the proper fuel for his or her energy requirement.
Fuel for performance
is the practice of consuming large amounts of food in response to emotions
instead of hunger.
Emotional eating
Many times in our lives, we get invited to partake of all the scrumptious food on
the table during celebrations. Oftentimes, we indulge even if we are not hungry for the sake of being sociable and to not offend the host or the group.
Social eating
Eating while watching TV
Distracted eating
A negative stress reaction that triggers mental, emotional and physical problems and, even worse, certain symptoms or disease.
Distress
is inevitable and eliminating it entirely from one’s life is impossible.
Stress
light to moderate-intensity physical activity that requires more oxygen than sedentary behavior,
Aerobic
- high-intensity physical activity that is done in a short duration of time requiring high energy.
Anaerobic
physical activities which have been a part of our daily routine
Lifestyle
an intense play activity that requires substantial energy expenditure
Physical activity play
simple and self-reflected activities with flexible rules for the purpose of enjoyment.
Play
a physical activity requiring skill and physical prowess that is governed by set of rules
Sports
Assessing one’s health status will help the person know about one’s strengths
and weaknesses.
Physical fitness testing
is the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply oxygen to your
body tissues during sustained physical activity.
Cardiovascular endurance
is the maximum amount of force a muscle can exert in a single effort.
Muscular Strength
is the ability of the muscle to continue to perform without fatigue.
Muscular Endurance
is the ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of motion.
Flexibility
is the percentages of fat, bone, water, and muscle in a human body; it is often the ratio of lean tissue to fat tissue in the body.
