Muscular Endurance
The combination of all the tissues that make
up the body such as bones, muscles,
organs, and body fats.
Body Composition
The ability of the heart , lungs, blood
vessels, and blood to work efficiently and to
supply the body with oxygen.
Cardiovascular Endurance
Activities done by the skeletal muscles that
utilize energy is
Physical Activity
refers to why and how people eat, which
foods they eat, and with whom they eat, as
well as the ways people obtain, store, use,
and discard food. I
Eating habits
are physical activities in which
people move their large muscles in a
rhythmic manner for a sustained period.
Aerobic
This kind of activity, which includes
resistance training and lifting weights,
causes the body’s muscles to work or hold
against an applied force or weight.
Muscle Strengthening activity
There are many factors that determine what
foods a person eats
Influences on food choices
Every individual has unique likes and
dislikes concerning foods. These
preferences develop over time, and are
influenced by personal experiences such as
encouragement to eat, exposure to a food,
family customs and rituals, advertising, and
personal values.
Individual preference
A cultural group provides guidelines
regarding acceptable foods, food
combinations, eating patterns, and eating
behaviors
Cultural preference
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
Members of a social group depend on each
other, share a common culture, and
influence each other’s behaviors and
values.
Social Influence
Religious proscriptions range from a few to
many, from relaxed to highly restrictive. This
will affect a follower’s food choices and
behaviors.
Religious Influence
Money, values, and consumer skills all
affect what a person purchases. The price
of a food, however, is not an indicator of its
nutritional value.
Economic Influence
The influence of the environment on food
habits derives from a composite of
ecological and social factors
Environmental influence
Political factors also influence food
availability and trends. Food laws and trade
agreements affect what is available within
and across countries, and also affect food
prices. Food labeling laws determine what
consumers know about the food they
Political influence
Is any physical activity that makes you
sweat, causes you to breathe harder, and
gets your heart beating faster compared to
when you are at rest. d
Aerobic exercise
is taken at the apex of the heart and can
sometimes be felt very clearly
Apical site
is taken from the carotid artery just beside
larynx using light pressure from the tips of
the pointer and middle fingers
Carotid pulse site
is taken from radial artery at the wrist, in line
with the thumbs
Radial pulse site
can be obtained from the left or right temple
temporal pulse site
is the ability of the body’s cardiovascular
system to supply energy during continuous
physical activities such as biking and
running
Aerobic fitness
or any weight bearing activity that produces
a force on the bone.
Bone strengthening
For moderate-intensity physical activity
Your target heart rate should be between
64% to 76%
For vigorous-intensity physical activity
Your target heart rate should be between
77% to 93%
is any form of large muscle
movements, including sports, dance,
games, work, lifestyle activities and exercise
for fitness
Physical Activity
means gradually increasing the
amount of exercise you do.When a
performer first starts exercising, their levels
of fitness may be poor.
Progression
how regularly/how many
times a week
frequency
- how hard you train
Intensity
how long each session must be in
order to benefit
time
what sort of training you do
type
specific type of
exercise to improve each fitness
component or fitness of a specific part
of the body
principle of specificity
indicates the need to gradually increase
overload to achieve optimal benefits
principle of progression
if your sport requires a lot of
running, work mainly on your legs
muscle
do you need strength,
speed, stamina or a combination?
type of fitness
you need to practice any relevant
skills like kicking, serving and passing
Skill
connotes that disuse or inactivity results in loss of benefits achieved as a result of overload. Meaning, benefits achieved last only as long as overload continues.
principle of reversibility
when studying physical activity it is
important to know what does provides
the best response (most benefit / what
really works for one person).
Dose-response relationship
emphasizes that the more benefits
one gains as result of activity, the
harder additional benefits are to
achieve.
principle of diminished returns
maintains that adequate rest is
needed to allow the body to adapt to
and recover from exercise
principle of rest and recovery
is physically necessary so that
the muscles can repair, rebuild and
strengthen.
rest
Allows the body to replenish energy stores
and repair damage tissues.Without
sufficient time to repair and replenish, the
body will continue to breakdown from
intensive exercise.
recovery
ometimes
called active recovery occurs in hours
immediately after intense exercise.
short term recovery
– refer to
those that are built in to a seasonal training
program.
long term recovery
stress provides unique benefits to each
person based on the unique characteristics
of that individual
principle of individual differences
sometimes referred to as
circuit training, refers to combining
exercises of other disciplines, different than
that of the athlete in training
Cross training
