Study Notes
Exercise-Based Fitness Activities
- Exercise-based fitness activities improve physical wellbeing.
- Three main types of exercise-based fitness activities are covered: aerobic, muscular and flexibility training.
- These types of fitness training are integrated to create a well-rounded routine.
Unit 1 - Types of Exercise-Based Fitness Activities
Learning Objectives
- Students will identify different types of exercise-based fitness training.
- Students will discuss the five key muscles in core stability training.
- Students will differentiate the three types of training and the related exercises.
- Students will demonstrate enjoyment and satisfaction of the activities.
Physical Fitness
- Physical fitness is the ability of body systems working together efficiently for daily living (e.g., household chores, school activities, sports, emergencies).
Components of Fitness
For Health
- Cardiorespiratory Endurance: The ability to maintain an elevated heart rate for a certain time while doing an activity.
- Muscular Strength: The capability to exert force during an activity.
- Flexibility/Mobility: The range of motion around joints.
- Muscular Endurance: The ability for muscles to perform an activity without fatigue.
- Body Composition: The amount of body fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues that make up the body.
For Skill
-
Balance: Maintaining the center of mass over the base of support.
-
Coordination: The smooth flow of movements in a task.
-
Reaction Time: The time taken to react to a stimulus.
-
Agility: Quickly and precisely changing direction or movement without losing balance.
-
Speed: Moving quickly over a distance.
-
Power: The ability to produce force quickly.
-
A fitness program (or exercise program) is a planned, structured, repetitive activity to improve health and fitness.
-
Three types of fitness training target health-related components of physical fitness (Aerobic Fitness, Muscular Fitness, Flexibility Fitness).
Aerobic Fitness Training
- Aerobic fitness training improves cardiorespiratory endurance.
- A good program enhances the body's ability to perform activities over long periods without stopping.
- Improves oxygen supply, increases blood volume and heart muscle size/contractility.
- Adults should aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercises per week.
Muscular Fitness Training
- Muscular strength: The ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert force to overcome resistance.
- Muscular endurance: The ability of a muscle or muscle group to execute repeated muscle actions over a period of time or maintain a specific muscular position for a prolonged period.
- Muscular power: The ability to exert force per unit of time or to exert maximum effort in a very short period.
Resistance/Strength Training
- Resistance training is a general term that encompasses any exercise that requires the body to resist weight in a variety of forms (incl. body weight, free weights, machines and resistance bands).
- Multi-joint/compound exercises affect more than one muscle group.
Push-Pull Training
- A push-pull workout routine splits workouts into different muscle groups.
- Push exercises work the upper body muscles (chest, shoulders, triceps) to push movements. e.g., bench press, bench dips, overhead press, cable crossover.
- Pull exercises work the upper body muscles (back, biceps, trapezius) to pull movements. e.g., pull-ups, barbell rows, barbell curls, seated cable rows.
- Leg exercises work the lower body to perform movements. e.g squats, lunges, RDLs (Romanian deadlifts), calf raises
Muscular Isolation Training
- Muscular isolation training focuses on isolating specific muscle groups, working one joint or a limited number of muscles and doing exercises that are not compound exercises.
- This is different from compound exercises that work more joints and muscles.
Total-Body Circuit Training
- Circuit training involves a series of exercises, followed by rest or active recovery periods.
- Training is time-efficient, targeting strength, aerobic, core, and flexibility exercises.
Core Strength Training
- The trunk (spine and pelvis) are the core of the body, which is anatomically a muscular box.
- A strong core improves daily activities, sports performance and lowers the incidence of low back pain through better energy transfer between large and small body parts.
5 Key Core Muscles
- Transverse Abdominis: The deepest abdominal muscle. It maintains abdominal tension, supports abdominal organs, and increases intra-abdominal pressure.
- Internal Oblique: Underneath the external obliques, it aids in forced respiration, raising and maintaining pressure in the abdominal area, and rotating and turning the trunk.
- External Oblique: The largest core muscle. It rotates the trunk, stabilizes the core, pulls the chest downwards, compresses the abdominal cavity, and assists with side-to-side bending.
- Lumbar Multifidus: One of the smallest but strongest muscles. It supports the spine, taking pressure off the vertebral discs, which distributes body weight. It's divided into two muscle groups; a superficial group that keeps the spine straight, and a deep group that stabilizes the spine.
- Pelvic Floor Muscles: Muscles arranged like hammock, connecting front, back and sides of the pelvis and sacrum, providing support to internal pelvic organs (bladder, uterus or prostate, and rectum).
Static vs. Dynamic Core Exercises
- Static core exercises hold muscles stationary; e.g., planks, side planks, superman.
- Dynamic core exercises involve repeated movements; e.g., crunches, flutter kicks, heel touches.
Powerlifting
- Powerlifting is an Olympic sport involving bench press, squat, and deadlifts.
- Competitions are based on weights lifted in each category (one-repetition maximum or 1RM).
Explosive Dynamic Training
- Explosive dynamic training (Plyometrics) combines strength and speed.
- Involves high-speed dynamic movements with a lower load.
- 3-5 sets; 3-6 repetitions, with 2-3 minutes rest between sets.
- Aims to increase muscle power output.
Flexibility Fitness Training
- Flexibility refers to the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion.
- Flexibility fitness training improves range of motion; reduces muscle imbalance, joint dysfunction, overuse and other injuries.
- It also prevents low back pain, delayed muscle soreness.
Types of Stretching
-
Static stretching: slow-paced controlled movement holding for a period of time (e.g., 10-30 seconds).
-
Active Static stretching: holds the stretched position using the strength of the agonist muscle.
-
Passive Static Stretching: assuming a position while holding a body part with or without assistance (e.g., elastic bands, partner, ballet barre)
-
Dynamic stretching: a controlled movement that progressively increases range of motion.
-
Ballistic stretching: uses the momentum of the moving body part. Is typically risky.
-
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching: involves an isometric contraction followed by static stretching—contract-relax techniques.
