Physical Activity 06 21 2015 Physical Fitness Physical Activity Exercise o The ability to perform moderate to vigorous levels of activity without undue fatigue o Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles resulting in an expenditure of energy o Planned or structured physical activity done to achieve and maintain fitness Physical activity is often measured in MET levels metabolic equivalents how much energy or oxygen is used for activity o METs are grouped into 3 activity categories Light lifestyle 3 METs Moderate 3 to 6 METs Vigorous 6 METs o 1 MET resting sitting quietly o 2 MET twice the value The 5 Health Related Components of Fitness Cardiorespiratory Endurance the ability of your cardiovascular and respiratory systems to provide oxygen to the working muscles and tissues during sustained physical activity and exercise Muscular Strength ability of your muscles to exert force Muscular Endurance ability of your muscles to contract repeatedly over time Flexibility ability to move your joints through a full range of motion Body Composition relative amounts of fat and lean tissue in your body The 6 Skill Related Components of Physical Fitness Agility ability to rapidly change position of your body with speed and accuracy Balance maintenance of equilibrium while you re stationary or moving Coordination ability to use both senses and your body to perform motor tasks smoothly and Power ability to perform work or contract muscles with high force quickly Speed ability to perform a movement in a short period of time Reaction time the time between a stimulus and the initiation of your physical reaction to that accurately stimulus Principles of Fitness system is used to Overload Principle the amount of training that you do undertake must be more than your body o Adaptation a change in the body as a result of the overload Training Effects whole body systems are affected Dose Response Relationship how much you overload your system will show how many changes and how long those changes last and how quickly you see those changes last response will depend on how much dose overload Diminished Returns if you do too much too fast you over train you do not see as many changes Principle of Progression in order to effectively AND safely increase your fitness level increase your health level you have to gradually increase your program s intensity the frequency and or the time you put in o The 10 percent rule Increase your program frequency intensity or duration by no more than 10 percent per week Principle of Specificity improvements to a particular body system to a particular muscle group will occur only if that certain body system is overloaded the drills that you do must be targeted to a specific goal that you want to accomplish Principle of Reversibility all things that we see as a result of training will revert back to original levels when training is stopped o Use it or lose it person Principle of Individuality adaptations for a training overload can vary greatly from person to Principle of Rest and Recovery you need to give your body time to recover from the increased physiological and structural stress that you place on it
