Study Notes

Daily Routine Activities

Daily routine activities can be divided into three main categories: meeting basic individual and social needs, enjoying leisure time, and meeting emergency demands
Meeting basic individual and social needs include things like waking up, dressing up, eating breakfast, going to school, meeting other individuals, classmates, and peer groups
Enjoying leisure time refers to the time left after completing daily routine activities and includes activities like watching TV, movies, talking to friends, reading books and magazines, doing arts and crafts, listening to radio, and playing sports
Meeting emergency demands consists of activities like doing important errands, performing social obligations, attending to visitors, and tending to household problems

Concepts of Physical Fitness

Organic Vigor refers to the health of the heart and lungs, which helps in resisting diseases
Endurance is the ability to participate in activities or tasks for prolonged periods without excessive fatigue
Strength is the capacity to exert significant force without yielding or breaking, reflecting the ability of muscles to overcome resistance
Power refers to the muscle’s ability to release maximum force in a short timeframe
Flexibility is the quality of plasticity allowing for a wide range of movements
Agility is the ability to change direction or position quickly and easily
Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium through neuromuscular control
Speed is the ability to perform successive movements of the same kind in the shortest time possible

Components of Physical Fitness

The components of Physical Fitness are divided into two categories: health-related components and performance-related components
Health-related components consist of flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body composition
Performance-related components include agility, balance, coordination, power, and speed
Muscular Strength refers to the muscle’s ability to exert maximum effort in a short duration
Muscular Endurance refers to the ability of the muscle to sustain a sub-maximal effort for a prolonged period
Cardiovascular Endurance refers to the ability of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to adapt to physical exertion for a prolonged period
Flexibility refers to the extensibility of ligaments, tendons, and muscle tissue that connects joints. It involves four basic movements: flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction
Body Composition refers to the proportion of lean body mass to fat body mass

Types of Stretching

Ballistic stretching uses muscle contractions to forcefully elongate muscles through repetitive bobbing movements.
Static Stretching involves slowly stretching a body segment to its furthest point and holding the position for 15-30 seconds.

Somatotypes

Somatotyping, or body typing, is a system that classifies individuals according to their body shape
There are three distinct body types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph
An Ectomorph has a lean and small body build with slender limbs, low muscle mass, and greater surface area to mass ratio
A Mesomorph has a predominantly muscular build with large, heavy bones and massive limbs
An Endomorph is characterized by a soft, rounded body with a higher percentage of body fat compared to lean body mass.
