Quiz 1 Flashcards
Physical benefits of exercise
- build bone mass (reduced osteoarthritis/osteoporosis)
- burns calories (lowers risk of becoming overweight
- reduces risk of heart disease, hypertension, stroke
improves function of immune system
psychological benefits
- diminish anxiety and depression
- control stress and minimize its negative effects on the body
- improves self-esteem
- improves cognition and problem-solving
- improves sleep pattern
how much do you need to gain health benefits
2.5 hours/week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity
1.25 hours vigorous-intensity aerobic activity
components of physical fitness
muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, body comp, flexibility
muscle strength
the maximal force produced by a muscle or muscle group, tested by 1 RM
muscle endurance
the ability to repeatedly contract a muscle against resistance
cardiovascular endurance
the capacity of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles during sustained exercise
flexibility
the range of motion through a joint
body composition
the two components that make up body composition are adipose tissue and lean body mass
components of an exercise program
frequency, intensity, duration
monitoring exercise intensity
MPHR: 220-age
RPE: scale of 1-10
Talk test: If can talk then intensity is good
make exercise easier
- limit ROM
- reduce load/use body weight only
- reduce/eliminate propulsion (jumping)
- shorten lever
- slow movement - improve stability
- use isolation exercises rather than compound
how to make it harder
- increase load
- decrease stability
- add propulsion
- use compound movements
aerobic exercise
- build cardiorespiratory endurance
- burns glycogen and fat
- high endurance events that increases stamina
anaerobic exercise
- oxygen cant keep up with the body’s energy demands so the body utilizes stored energy sources to create ATP
what does interval training combine
combines aerobic and anaerobic training
what can interval training do for the body
by placing stress on systems without full recovery it helps the ability to tolerate and utilize the increased concentrations of lactic acid that forms
what is power
speed of maximal force, dependent of time sort of thing
stamina
ability to perform at max or near max levels
endurance
ability to sustain acitvity
energy pathways
immediate (ATP-CP), anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis
ATP CP system
- immediate energy pathway
- 2-3 sec uses ATP in muscle
- 6-8 sec uses CP until that runs out
