Quiz 1 Flashcards
What are the five components of fitness?
cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body composition
What is cardio vascular endurance?
The ability of the body to deliver and use oxygen to perform physical activities using large muscle groups continuously for long periods of time.
What is flexibility?
Range of motion at a joint
What is muscular strength?
The ability to contract maximally over a short period of time.
What is muscular endurance?
The ability of muscles to contract repetitively or over a long period of time.
What is body composition?
Ration of lean muscle to body fat.
What is the FITT formula?
It is the prescription for exercise and is different for each component of fitness?
What does FITT stand for?
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
What are the four principles of fitness training?
Reversibility, Progressive Overload, Individual Differences, Specificity of Training
What is reversibility?
If you stop training, you will lose the benefits you have gained.
What is progressive overload?
It is your body’s ability to adapt to the demands you place on it. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be increased slowly to allow your body to adapt. (You are guaranteed to improve over time.)
What is individual differences?
it means that for equal training, different people will get different results.
What is specificity of training?
It means that your body will adapt to the specific demand that you place on it (If you train to run a marathon it doesn’t mean you’ll be good at playing soccer)
What are the parts of a workout?
Warm up, workout, cool down.
How do you calculate the intensity of CVE (cardiovascular endurance)
With the target heart rate or the Borg scale (how tired you are)
How do you calculate target heart rate?
(220-age)x(% intensity) 80%=0.8, 60%=0.6
What should be the frequency of CVE?
More than 2x/week (Non-consecutive days)
How long should you do CVE?
Minimum 60min/week, +30min/session
