Importance of Physical Education
Activity can reduce morbidity and mortality individuals benefit from exercise critically important for all ages
Types of Fitness: Health Fitness
Important for prevention and remediation of disease and illness
Types of Fitness: Motor-performance Fitness
Fitness needed for performing well in sports and work, that require physical skill, strength, and/or endurance
Wellness
Achieving a high quality of life and a continuing sense of physical and psychological well-being
Body Composition
The body's relative amount of fat and fat-free mass (muscle, bone, and water)
Assessment of body composition
Underwater weighing Skin-fold measures Body mass index Body circumference measures Bioelectric impedance analysis
CardiovascularEndurance
The ability of the body to perform prolonged, large muscle, dynamic, exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity
Assessment of cardiovascularendurance
1-mile walk test 3-minute step test 1.5 mile Run-Walk test
Flexibility
The ability to move a joint thought its full range of motion
Assessment of flexibility
Sit and reach test: most common flexibility test range of motion assessment by goniometer which provides the degrees of motion capable at joints
Muscular endurance
The ability of a muscle of a muscle group to remain contracted or to contract repeatedly for a long period of time
Muscular Endurance assessment
Dynamic curl up: repeat every 3 seconds until exhaustion Dynamic push up: do one push up every 3 seconds until exhaustion
Strength
The amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort
Strength assessment
1RM (one-repetition max) for various muscle groups -upper body strength best tested by 1RM effort on a seated press machine or a bench press machine -Lower-body strength best tested by a 1RM on a leg press machine
Types of wellness
Overall goal for healthy individuals Physical Emotional Intellectual Spiritual Interpersonal and social Environmental
Hypo-kinetic disease
Most serious of the diseases related to the heart and vascular systems and, more recently, to the several conditions related to obesity and type II diabetes
Health
Traditional view: Absence of disease and illness Contemporary view: Links health with wellness which is multidimensional: Emotion, intellect, interpersonal, spiritual, social, andenvironmental
Aerobic work
Contributes to cardiovascularfitness
Core strength and flexibility
important ingredient to health fitness ex: pilates
Resistance training has a positive effect on:
Bone mineral density, body composition, muscular strength, glucose metabolism, serum lipids, maximal oxygen consumption, and basal metabolism
Reversal in health fitness
When you stop exercise likely to lose 50% of improvement in 2 months cardiovascular gains are quick to reverse Strength gains are slow to reverse
Agility
The ability to move the body accurately and rapidly in different directions
Balance
The maintenance of equilibrium while moving or stationary
Coordination
The ability to use body party to perform motor skills smoothly and accurately
Power
The ability to transfer energy into force at a fast rate
Reaction time
The time elapsed between simulation and the onset of movement in response to that simulation
Speed
The ability to perform a skill in a short period of time
Strength
The amount of force a muscle can produce with a single effort
Cosmetic Fitness
Desire to look good for appearance sake
Dose: Intensity
In an aerobic sense: target heart rate
Dose: duration
Refers to the amount of time spent performing aerobic work: 20-30 min recomended
Dose: frequency
Refers to how often you should exercise: 3-5 times a week recommended
Benefits associated with PA
Reduction of BP, Lower mortality Decreased risk of CVD Boosted immune system Controls body fat gains Reduction in osteoporosis Decreased risk of cancer Gains in cognitive function Reduction of depression, Reduction of osteoathritis
Social Gradient
Refers to the socioeconomic impact on health and fitness
Socioecological view
Looks to the social contexts within which people live their levels of health and fitness people in lower socioeconomic groups have less access to nutritious food and information about food
Fitness training principles
Muscles make up 40% of body mass muscles are where a substantial portion of the metabolic-energy reaction in the body take place When you train properly the muscles and energy systems that fuel those muscles become more efficient longer
Specificity
To produce a deisre effect
Progressive overload
Load created a conditioning effect
Recovery time
Muscles need a period of time for recovery
Intensity
Refers to the load of exercise
Duration
Length of an exercise session
Interval training
Intense exercise periods followed by rest periods Allows for some recovery before the next exercise period begins
Continuous training
Exercise with HR sustained at or just above threshold level for 30 min (preferred) 15 min (at min); 3 times a p. week, preferable for beginners
Anaerobic exercise
Short-duration exercise completed without the aid of oxygen main functional outcome is to move quickly and deliver great force sprinting, weightlifting, plyometrics, running stairs
Strength training
The primary component of motor-performance fitness, is done through some form of exercise against resistance, typically through weight training 4 variables: amount of resistance per lift, number of repetitions of each lift, number of set per workout, number of workouts per week
To build muscle endurance
Perform numerous repetitions against a fairly low resistance
Build muscle strength
Perform few repetitions against a much higher resistance
Static flexibility
The linear or angular measurement of the limits of the range of motion at a joint
Dynamic flexibility
The rate of increase in tension in a relaxed muscle as it is stretched
Measuring Fitness
2 dominate approaches: Fitness tests Direct measurement of cardiovascular fitness and body composition
Fitness testing
Body comp: Triceps, subscapular and medial calf skinfolds Back flexibility: sit and reach test Abdominal strength: bent knee sit ups Upper body strength: modified pull ups Cardiovascular capacity: 1 mile walk/run 8 and up 1/2 mile walk/run 8 and under
Criterion Referenced Health Standards (CRH) advantages
assess fitness against absolute standards that indicate minimum levels of fitness provide immediate diagnostic feedback
Measuring MVPA
Heart-rate monitors accelerometers pedometers activity gram
Activitygram
Developed by the Cooper Institute, An assessment tool for recording physical activity data and interpreting those data relative to standards related to healthy lifestyles
Fitnessgram test components
aerobic capacity (pacer, 1 mile, walk) Body comp (BMI, bioelectric impedance analysis) Abdominal strength/endurance (curl-ups) Upper body strength/endurance (push ups, modified pull ups, or flexed- arm hang) Flexibility (trunk lifts, back saver sit and reach and shoulder stretch
Informal methods of measuring fitness
Check resting pulse rate check recovery pulse rate keep distance and time records
NCYFS
National Children and Youth Fitness Study
Disability fitness
Historically: framed in medical rationale and focused on rehabilitation Currently: Focused on inclusion and integration, targeting accessibility
Worksite fitness
Benefits include: reduced health cost, increased employee productivity, reduced absenteeism Most programs include: fitness testing, personalized programs, nutritional guidance, and programs, health screenings and health promotion programs
Sports medicine
generic term used to encompass many area of specialization related to physical performance and injuries related to physical performance
Physical Therapy
Therapeutic exercise, range of motion exercise, cardiovascular training, relaxation training, therapeutic massage, biofeedback, etc to help people recover from illness or injury
3 general medical problems by Skinner
A young fit body does not represent a healthy lifestyle Miracles usually do not occur with fitness concepts Celebrities are not experts in fitness
