Study Notes

Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise involves rhythmic, repetitive activity using large muscle groups, increasing heart rate and oxygen consumption.
The body primarily uses carbohydrates for energy during aerobic exercise, with protein use possible during extreme exertion.
Exercise intensity is often measured using maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max).
Maximal heart rate is another way to measure exercise intensity.

Gender Differences in Aerobic Capacity

Men generally have higher aerobic capacity and strength than women due to greater muscle mass and higher testosterone levels.
Absolute strength may sometimes be higher in women.

Resistance Training

Resistance training improves strength and endurance through physical exercises, often involving weightlifting.
Children and adolescents should train within safe limits to avoid musculoskeletal injuries.

Appropriateness of Resistance Training for Adolescents

The musculoskeletal structures of children and adolescents are more susceptible to injury compared to adults.
Bones continue to strengthen between ages 18–25.

Effects of Resistance Training

Women are less likely to bulk up from resistance training than men due to lower average testosterone levels.

Flexibility Training

Flexibility training benefits the body through stretching, improving range of motion and decreasing injuries.

Smoking

Smoking involves inhaling and exhaling tobacco smoke.
Smoking negatively impacts various body organs and contributes to several health issues.

Components of Tobacco Smoke

Nicotine is addictive, raising heart rate and affecting appetite.
Carbon monoxide is a toxic chemical from burning tobacco, reducing oxygen to the body.

Alcohol

Alcohol is a liquid organic compound used in beverages and industry.
The effects of alcohol vary depending on the amount and type consumed.

Poor Dietary Habits

Poor dietary habits occur when nutritional principles of adequacy, balance, and variety are not followed.

Sedentary Lifestyle

Sedentary lifestyle lacks the recommended level of regular physical activity.
Sedentary lifestyle is associated with several health issues like cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the formation of tumors, which may or may not be cancerous.
Major categories include carcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma, and leukemia.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition where the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively, resulting in high blood glucose levels.
Types of diabetes include type 1 and type 2.

Chronic Respiratory Diseases

Chronic respiratory diseases affect the air passages and other parts of the lungs, presenting symptoms such as breathlessness and coughs.

Nutrition for Exercise Performance

Proper nutrition is crucial for exercise performance and recovery.
Different types of nutrients are essential such as macronutrients and micronutrients for overall body function.

Stress

Stress is the body's reaction to challenging events, which can be positive or negative.
Stressors are events or situations causing stress that affect a person's well-being.

Coping Strategies

Coping strategies are the ways people respond and recover from events that cause stress.
Coping strategies include time management, talking/sharing problems with others, maintaining calmness and reducing tension through physical activities.

Rest and sleep are important in reducing stress and tension.
Adults need seven to nine hours of sleep for proper functioning.
Regular exercise can aid in stress reduction.
