Physical Activity

Question 1

Types of Physical Activity

Answer 1

• Aerobic Activities/“endurance activity”
• Muscle-Strengthening Activities/“strengthening activity”
• Bone-strengthening activities/“weight-bearing activity”
• Stretching Activities/“static-active stretching”

Question 2

hypothermia vs hyperthermia

Answer 2

Hypothermia occurs when the body loses more heat than it can produce, leading to a dangerously low body temperature. This can be caused by prolonged exposure to cold environments. Symptoms include slow or shallow breathing, confusion, shivering, pale skin, drowsiness, and slurred or mumbled speech. Treatment often involves drinking warm fluids, moving to a warm environment, external rewarming, and drying or rewarming clothes.

On the other hand, hyperthermia is when the body absorbs or generates more heat than it can dissipate, resulting in an abnormally high body temperature. This usually results from overexertion in hot, humid conditions. Symptoms can include thirst, dizziness, nausea, sweating, and dilated blood vessels. Treatment often involves passive cooling, resting in a shaded and cold area, removing clothes, drinking cold fluids, and air conditioning.

Question 3

• Examples: cardio machines, spinning, running, swimming, walking, hiking, dancing, kickboxing, etc.

Question 5

levels of intensity in aerobic activity

Answer 5

Light-Intensity Activities - common daily activities that do not require much effort.; (MHR) - 220 - age

Moderate-Intensity Activities - make your heart, lungs, and muscles work harder than light
activities do. MHR * 0.50 to MHR * 0.70

Vigorous–Intensity Activities - make your heart, lungs, and muscles work hard. MHR * 0.70 to MHR * 0.85

Question 6

Muscle-Strengthening Exercise

Answer 6

• uses the major groups of muscle in the body.
• these activities make muscles work and apply force like lifting objects, using elastic bands, and using own body weight to create resistance like planking, push-ups, and sit-ups.
• Examples: use of elastic bands, weight machines, lifting weights, etc.
• 1 activity - 2-3 muscles; pag tumaas - bone strengthening na ata

Question 7

bone-strengthening activities

Answer 7

• activities that give impact on the ground and
  force you to work against gravity.
• create tension in your bones, developing bone strength and growth
• activities should be done by children or adolescents because their bones develop faster in this age. - 7-21 yo

Question 8

2 types of bone-strengthening activities

Answer 8

• low impact - if at least one of feet stays in contact w/ ground constantly
• high impact - both feet run off the ground at the same time

Question 9

stretching activities

Answer 9

• a form of exercise that targets muscles by elongating them to their fullest length.
• offers benefits that are important to your body.
