Study Notes
CardioRespiratory and Musculoskeletal Fitness
- Physical fitness encompasses various components like muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, power, speed, and flexibility.
- Exercise is planned, structured, and repetitive physical activity designed to improve and maintain fitness.
- Response to exercise is a short-term bodily change like increased heart rate for blood supply to muscles.
- Adaptation resulting from exercise is a long-term change like a lower resting heart rate due to greater stroke volume.
-
Training Principles:
- Overload: Gradual, progressive increase in exercise difficulty to avoid injury and enhance adaptation.
- Progression: Implementing progressively heavier workloads to improve performance over time.
- Specificity: Tailoring workouts to target desired fitness components.
- Variety: Adding different exercises and intensities to maintain interest and prevent plateaus.
- Individual Differences: Recognizing varying fitness levels among individuals, and tailoring workouts appropriately based on genetics, age, sex, body composition, medical conditions, etc.
F.I.T.T Formula
- Frequency: Number of exercise sessions per week (e.g. 5-7 days for aerobic exercise, 2-3 days for strength training)
- Intensity: Level of difficulty (e.g measured by heart rate for aerobic, amount of weight for strength)
- Time: Duration of the exercise session (e.g. 60-mins aerobic).
- Type: Specific exercise modality (e.g. aerobic, strength training, flexibility)
Risk Mitigation and Management
- Acute Injuries: Result from sudden, specific impacts, like sprains, strains, and fractures during exercise.
- Chronic Injuries: Develop slowly due to overuse and improper form; include runner's or jumper's knee.
-
Injury Management:
- RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation to reduce swelling and pain.
- Risk Factors: Contributing factors include poor form, overuse, lack of rest and warm-up.
- Spotting injuries: Checking for abnormal shapes, breaks in the skin, and bleeding to assess potential injury.
Stretching and Flexibility
- Cool-Down: Gradually returning the body to a resting state to promote recovery.
- Stretching and Flexibility Types: Varied ways to do stretching include ballistic, dynamic, passive, static, and PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation).
- Dynamic Stretching: Active movement through the range of motion to prepare for strenuous exercise.
- Static Stretching: Holding a stretched position for a period of time to lengthen muscles.
- Isometric Stretching: Muscle contractions without movement.
- Passive Stretching: Use of external force, usually by another person, to aid in stretching.
Body Mass Index (BMI) Classification
- Underweight: BMI < 18.5
- Normal: BMI 19-24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25-29.9
- Obese I: BMI 30-34.9
- Obese II: BMI 35-39.9
- Obese III: BMI > 40
