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
