Study Notes

Physical Activity and Health

"Physical activity" refers to bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles, requiring energy expenditure.
A key component of health related to fitness is reducing the risk of premature death, disease, and injury.
Physical activity is important for maintaining overall health, enhancing well-being, and supporting physical fitness.

Exercise vs. Physical Activity

Exercise differs from physical activity as it involves planned, structured, and repetitive movements aimed at improving fitness components.
A key benefit of being physically fit is enhanced overall health and functional capacity.

Components of Fitness and Health

Cardiovascular endurance is associated with the body's ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients efficiently during extended exercise.
The body fat percentage, often indicated by the ratio of fat mass to overall body mass, is a critical measure in assessing health.
Aerobic exercise primarily focuses on improving cardiovascular endurance.

Types of Exercise

Repetitive movements aiming to enhance fitness components fall under the category of "aerobic exercise."
Resistance training’s purpose is to improve muscular strength, endurance, and overall fitness.

Training Principles

The principle of specificity emphasizes engaging in specific activities to improve certain parts of the body.
Flexibility exercises target increasing the elasticity of muscles and tendons around joints.
The one-repetition maximum (1RM) measures the maximum amount of weight an individual can lift for one repetition.
Muscular endurance is assessed by the ability of muscles to perform repeated movements over time without fatigue.

Body Composition and Flexibility

Lean body mass refers to the size or mass of muscles, bones, and non-fatty tissues compared to fat.
The ability to move joints freely without pain is known as flexibility.
The heart’s capacity to deliver and utilize oxygen can be assessed through various aerobic fitness tests.

Importance of Muscular Endurance

Muscular endurance helps prevent injuries, especially when an individual is fatigued, maintaining functional capacity.
Training for a weightlifting competition focuses on maximizing strength and technique.

Training Principles in Practice

The principle of progression emphasizes gradually increasing the intensity of workouts to improve fitness levels.
Applying the principle of overload is essential to stimulate additional adaptations and enhance fitness.
Rapid increases in training levels can lead to injuries or overtraining.

Reversibility and Variation

The principle of reversibility highlights that fitness adaptations can diminish if consistent training is not maintained.
For sports involving extensive running, athletes should focus on building both aerobic and muscular endurance.
Varying training methods is crucial to prevent training monotony and maintain engagement.

F.I.T.T. Principle

The F.I.T.T. principle stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type, guiding effective exercise program design.

Nutrition and Health

The primary purpose of consuming food is to provide energy for bodily functions and activities.
Nutrition focuses on the study of food and its impact on health.
The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.

Training Monotony

Experiencing monotony in training can lead to decreased motivation, enthusiasm, and performance.
