10 General Physical Skills, The Hopper, Metabolic Pathways, Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum
10 General physical skills
If your goal is optimum physical competence than all physical skills must be considered.
Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility
Organic - Requires training
Power, Speed
Organic and adaptations of both - Requires training and practice
Coordination, accuracy, balance, agility
Neurological - Requires practice
The Hopper
Physical challenge lottery, measurable tasks, quantifiable, balance of skills and drills. Being able to perform well at any task imaginable.
Metabolic Pathways
Phosphagen, Glycolytic, Oxidative
Phosphagen Pathway
10 Seconds or less - 100m sprint or 1RM DL - Anaerobic activity
Glycolytic Pathway
2 Minutes or less - 400m sprint - Best blend of phosphates and oxidative - Anaerobic activity
Oxidative Pathway
Long Sustainable - Marathon - Aerobic activity
What does a balance of bioenergetics mean?
The engines that fuel all human activity
Sickness, Wellness, Fitness Continuum Model
Fitness provides a great margin of protection against the ravages of time and disease
Define Sickness
Pulse = 100bpm
BF = 40%+
Blood Pressure = 160/80
DL = 1/2 BW
Define Wellness
Pulse = 70bpm
BF = 20%
Blood Pressure = 120/80
DL = BW
Define Fitness
Pulse = 50bpm
BF = 10% or less
Blood Pressure = 110/55
DL = 2x BW
