Study Notes
Week 1 Handouts
- Dehydration: Excessive water loss from the body (perspiration, urination, evaporation).
- Sweating: Normal daily loss of about 2.5 liters of water from lungs, skin, urine, and feces.
- Thirst: Sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat, needing liquids. Water balance is crucial during exercise. Sweat loss varies with intensity/duration, air temp, and humidity.
- Overexertion/Overtraining: Detrimental effect of excessive training.
- Hyperthermia: Alarming rise in body temperature from exercising in a humid environment.
- Heat Acclimatization: Initial exercise in hot weather may result in near maximal heart rate, elevated skin/core temps, and severe fatigue.
- Hypothermia: Excessively low body temperature leading to shivering, loss of coordination, and mental confusion.
- Cold acclimatization: Metabolic adjustments and improved tissue insulation, aided by large body mass, short extremities, and high body fat.
- Heat collapse: Rapid physical fatigue from heat overexposure leading to dizziness/fainting.
- Heat cramps: Salt loss from sweating, relieved by consuming lightly salted foods and massage.
- Heat exhaustion: Heat stress exceeding the body’s temperature regulation mechanism.
- Heat stroke: Body's temperature-regulating mechanism fails.
- Hypothermia signs & symptoms: Shivering, pale/cold skin, cold environment, no shivering, increasing drowsiness, irrational behavior/confusion, slow/shallow breathing, slow/weak pulse, clumsy walking/tendency to lie down
Week 2 Handouts
- First aid: Immediate care for injuries/illness. Deals with self-care and proper home care, especially when immediate medical assistance isn't available.
- First aid kit contents: Triangular bandage, rubbing alcohol, gloves, iodine, tongue depressor, wound dressings, adhesive bandage, swabs, gauze scissors, athletic tape, cotton, penlight, forceps, spine board, blankets, sets of splints, short board/Kendrick's extrication device, wheelchair, etc.
- Emergency personnel: Teachers, physicians, nurses, athletic coaches, security personnel, or community leaders.
- Emergency communication: Emergency numbers, phones/two-way radio, public announcement (PA) system.
- Emergency equipment: First aid kit, wheelchair, spine board, stretcher, blankets, poles.
- Medical transportation: Confirmation of local ambulance, Basic Life Support (BLS).
- Non-medical transportation: Wheelchairs, stretchers.
- Emergency contact list: Clinic, local hospital, etc.
- Venue information: Transportations, identified entrances/exits, and access routes.
Week 3/4 Handouts (intertwined)
- Playing Court/Field: Indoor/outdoor venues depending on the specific sport.
- Dance Areas/Studios: Enclosed/open spaces, often with mirrors (barres).
- Gym/Weight Areas: Indoor facilities with various equipment (machine weights, free weights, balls, exercise machines, mats).
- Family/Community Engagement: Collaboration for physical activity opportunities before, during, and after school to improve children's learning, development, and health.
- Family & Community Engagement Benefits: Improved grades/test scores, better student behavior, enhanced social skills, increased physical activity.
- Recreational: Activities done for enjoyment during non-work time. Includes fun runs (e.g., 3k, 5k, 10k or longer), dance events/competitions/marathons.
- Events focus: Dance, aerobic events, Zumba events, focusing on various dance forms, duration/variety, intensity levels, and music.
Week 5 Handouts
- Sports Tournaments: Organized events focusing on competitive sports participation by individuals or teams.
- Summer Sports Clinics: Short-course sports programs during summer breaks.
- Talks/Seminars/Conferences: Lecture-based events covering various topics, sometimes including hands-on training.
- Physical activity: Any body movement using energy (walking, gardening, sweeping, mopping, playing). Intensity, duration, and frequency are crucial for benefit.
- Moderate physical activities: Walking briskly, dancing, biking, swimming, and jogging.
- Vigorous activities: Increased heart rate and sweating, like basketball.
Week 6 Handouts
- Physical inactivity: Linked to weight gain, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and type-2 diabetes.
- Health & fitness field careers: Offers various career paths for individuals interested in helping others maintain physical well-being.
- Relevant degrees/certifications: Available in nutrition, athletic training, physical therapy, fitness training. These lead to career options like nutritionists, fitness trainers, personal trainers, aerobics instructors, or coaches.
- Essential qualities: Outgoing personality, good health, organization, excellent communication skills, and the ability to motivate others.
