is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness.
Exercise
is generally regarded as beneficial to one’s health and well-being and they are set of body movements to promote general fitness and are used to correct minor postural defects.
Exercise
Physical exercises are generally grouped into three types
Aerobic exercise
Anaerobic exercise
Flexibility
is any physical activity that uses large muscle groups and causes the body to use more oxygen than it would while resting.
Aerobic exercise
which includes strength and resistance training, can firm, strengthen, and increase muscle mass, as well as improve bone density, balance, and coordination.
Anaerobic exercise
stretch and lengthen muscles. Activities such as stretching help to improve joint flexibility and keep muscles limber. The goal is to improve the range of motion which can reduce the chance of injury.
Flexibility exercise
PHASES OF THE FITNESS EXERCISES PROGRAM
- Warm up Exercise
- Exercise Proper/Workout
- Cool Down Exercise
Benefits of warming up before a workout:
a. Increased flexibility
b. Lower risk of injury
c. Increased blood flow and oxygen
d. Improved performance
e. Better range of motion
it is the initial phase of any exercise program. It serves to elevate the body temperature to prepare the muscles for any major activity.
Warm up Exercise
In this phase, individual will choose a particular program that allows them to meet or achieve the training objective.
Exercise Proper/Workout
These serve to gradually taper off the body from the stress of exercises. It is important as warming up because it keeps the blood circulating around the body to prevent the individual from experiencing some form of dizziness.
Cool Down Exercise
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
- Specificity
- Overload
- Progression
- Reversibility
- Tedium
- Individualization
The principle states that benefits associated with the training stimulus can only be achieved when it duplicates the movements and energy systems involved in the exercise. In addition, the exercise must have a specific purpose that linked to the sport.
Specificity
This refers to the observation that a body system must be exercised at a level beyond which it is presently accustomed.
Overload
This principle states that the amount and intensity of your exercise should be increased gradually
Progression
The principle simply states that if an individual stop to exercise, the body returns to its initial level of fitness. This refers to the idea that if you don’t use it you will lose it.
Reversibility
This principle applies the importance of training variation in exercise or training plan. To avoid boredom on the athlete, the coach should properly design a training program that offers variety of exercise.
Tedium
All individuals have different performances, fitness attributes, lifestyles, nutritional preferences, and respond to exercise and its physical and social environments in their own unique way. It is essential that the exercise program caters to these individual needs and preferences.
