Section 1 Flashcards
Definition of Physical Activity
Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles, in leisure and non leisure settings, that uses energy that raises the “Basal” or resting state of an individual.
What is “Leisure time PA”?
Leisure PA is activity done outside of your daily do diligences (Work, travel chores, hygiene eating ETC) that encompass PA. However, it has to meet three separate criteria for it to count as leisure PA.
1. Expenditure of energy greater than basal state
2. Cannot be a “Instant” or momentary action
3. Has to involve a significant amount of muscle mass
What is the definition of “Exercise”?
Exercise is defined as a form of physical activity that is planned or structured, has the individual preform repetitive bodily movements, have the movements directed to maintain or improve the individuals health or fitness, and have an objective to improve physical health and/or wellbeing.
What is the definition of Sport?
Sport is a form of Physical activity that involves competition.
What makes a exercise program successful?
We direct it to “Health related physical fitness” or HRPF.
HRPF can be improved by
1. Increasing ability to perform daily activities with vigour
2. Create traits and capacities associated with low risk chronic and pre-mature death…
C, is compromised of subcomponents of physical fitness that each have a relationship with good health.
What are some examples that alter our perception health and Physical Activity?
- People
- Social Media
- Health/Activity Background
- Formal Evidence Based Health Education
What are the 6 Subcomponents of HRPF?
- Cardiorespiratory
- Muscular Strength
- Muscular Endurance
- Flexibility
- Body Composition
- Neuromotor Fitness
Give me a Simple definition of “Cardiorespiratory”
Optimal function + stricture of Cardiorespiratory system
+
The ability to deliver and use oxygen over a period of time to perform normal and unusual activities
Give a simple definition on “Muscular Strength”
The ability to develop large voluntary force of a muscle and/or muscle group (One Rep Max)
Or
Ability to move/lift/carry a heavy load
Give me a simple definition of “Muscular Endurance”?
The ability for a muscle or muscle group to contract repetitively or sustain contractions over time
Give me a simple definition of “Flexibility”
The range of motion around a joint
- It is also joint specific as well as specific to each individual
Health related flexibility is also different than performance flexibility
Give me a simple definition of “Body Composition”
Healthy body composition is defined as “The proportion of fat mass Vs. Lean Body mass”, not “Absolute Body Mass”
Healthy Body Composition can also be determined by where the fat is stored on the body
Ex. Pear Vs. Apple body shape
Give me a simple definition of “Neuromuscular Fitness”
Can be defined as “Good Motor Skills” in
1. Balance
2. Coordination
3. Gait
4. Agility
5. Proprioceptive
As well as “The quality of movement and emphasis on joint control on all 3 movement planes”
What are the better definitions for the 5 categories of motor skills?
- The ability to maintain equilibrium when stationary or moving
- The ability to control the movement of the body
- The walking pattern in humans
- The way we can change our body from one direction to the other direction
- The sense of body positioning in space
Define “Performance related Physical fitness”
PRPF can be defined as “the ability to perform a muscular work satisfactorily”
PRPF matters most in your life in Occupational, sport and recreational settings
Define “Physical Inactivity”
Physical Inactivity can be defined as the absence of physical activity, usually reflected as the proportion of time not engaged in physical activity of a predetermined intensity
(Also known as sitting disease)
