Study Notes
Aerobic Exercise
- Physical activity that elevates heart rate, benefiting the heart, lungs, and circulatory system.
- Involves rhythmic and repetitive movements, examples include jump rope, running, rowing, swimming, and cycling.
Benefits of Aerobic Exercises
- Enhances cardiovascular health and lowers blood pressure.
- Assists in body weight management and promotes better sleep.
- Strengthens the immune system and improves mood.
- Regulates blood sugar levels and enhances cognitive function.
Phases of Aerobic Exercise
- Warm Up: Prepares the body for exercise by increasing blood flow to muscles.
- Workout: Elevates heart rate and boosts oxygen delivery to muscles.
- Cool Down: Gradually reduces heart rate and normalizes breathing.
FITT Principle
- Individualized exercise program based on personal needs and abilities.
- F - Frequency: How often exercise is performed.
- I - Intensity: The level of effort during exercise.
- T - Time: Duration of each exercise session.
- T - Type: Variety of exercises included.
Muscle and Bone Strengthening Activities
- Muscle Strengthening: Activities that work muscles harder than usual to enhance strength (e.g., resistance training).
- Bone Strengthening: Involves pushing against gravity to strengthen bones (e.g., running, walking).
Benefits of Bone-Strengthening Exercises
- Increases strength and improves balance.
- Enhances posture and protects internal organs.
- Offers protection against osteoporosis and improves athletic performance.
Health-Related Fitness Components
- Cardiovascular Endurance: Ability to deliver oxygen for long-term physical activity; improved by jogging, running, and swimming.
- Muscular Strength: Maximum force exerted by muscles against resistance; promoted through push-ups and squats.
- Muscular Endurance: Sustaining movement against resistance over time; enhanced via circuit training and bodyweight exercises.
- Flexibility: Range of motion in joints; improved through squats, lunges, and stretching.
- Body Composition: Ratio of fat to lean tissue in the body; improved via burpees, push-ups, and planking.
Skill-Related Components of Fitness
- Aim to enhance performance during sports and games; includes:
- Speed: Quick execution of movements.
- Agility: Ability to change position quickly and accurately.
- Balance: Maintaining stability in body position (static and dynamic).
- Coordination: Smooth and accurate movement control.
- Power: Maximum effort in minimal time.
- Reaction Time: Speed of response to external stimuli, critical for athletic performance.
Health-Related Fitness Exercises
- Examples include curl-ups, push-ups, sit and reach, and 3-minute step test.
Skill-Related Fitness Exercises
- Examples include standing long jump, hexagon agility test, one-leg balance, and 50 meters sprint.
