Study Notes
Exercise Principles and Recommendations
-
Overload: Refers to the need for adaptation and improved fitness. It's achieved by increasing exercise time or intensity.
-
Progression: Involves a gradual adjustment in training variables over time, not sudden increases.
-
FITT Principles: Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
-
Exercise Frequency Adjustment (FITT): Increase frequency for less intense sessions.
-
Exercise Intensity Measurement: Heart rate, perceived effort, and the ability to talk comfortably.
-
Type of Activity: The chosen physical activity or exercise mode.
-
Deconditioned/Inactive Individuals: Start with short, 10-minute bouts of exercise per day.
-
Moderate-Intensity Physical Activity: Examples include brisk walking, fast cycling.
Exercise Precautions and Adaptations
-
Ballistic Stretching: The primary concern is risk of injury.
-
Reversibility: Gradual loss of fitness with inactivity. Fitness gains can be lost by as much as 50% within two months.
-
Variety: A key principle for maintaining motivation. Variety in exercise mode helps with motivation.
-
WHO Definition of Physical Activity: Any bodily movement requiring energy expenditure.
Additional Considerations
-
Rest Between Exhaustive Exercise: 48-72 hours is recommended.
-
Important in Exercise: Listening to one's body, experiencing mild discomfort, avoiding pain, and proper hydration are important to consider for safety.
-
Exercise Attire: Comfort and breathability are key considerations.
-
Hydration: Important before, during, and after exercise. Emphasized to prevent dehydration and support bodily functions.
-
Children's Exercise Duration: 60 minutes or more of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity daily.
-
Adults' Moderate-Intensity Aerobic Physical Activity: 75-150 minutes per week.
-
Muscle-Strengthening Activities for Adults: Benefits include reduced risk of falls.
Exercise for Specific Populations
-
Children (5-17): 60 minutes or more of moderate-vigorous intensity activity recommended daily.
-
Adults (18-64): 75-150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week recommended.
-
Adults (65+): Same recommendations as for younger adults, plus varied multicomponent activities emphasizing balance and strength training.
-
Asthma: Wear a mask, carry medications, and stay hydrated during cold or dry weather.
-
Diabetes: Monitor blood sugar, start slowly, and avoid high-intensity exercises.
-
Cardiovascular Diseases: Engage in low-to-moderate-intensity exercises.
-
Obesity: Monitor heart rate and breathing; choose low-impact activities.
Other Recommendations
-
WHO Guidelines for Sedentary Behavior (Adults/Older Adults): Replace sedentary time with physical activity.
-
Non-Communicable Diseases and Exercise: Regular physical activity helps prevent or manage diabetes and stroke.
-
Dance (Lindy Hop): Closed position involves arms crossed and predefined step sequences; open position involves moving apart from the partner. Leader moves the follower by using the torso during dances like Lindy Hop, and they are crucial for choosing movement directions in open positions.
General Considerations
- Unexpected Situations (Leaders): Leaders should adapt and keep going when unexpected situations happen.
- Partners Falling Out of Step: Re-connect and keep going.
- Important Common Sense Indicators for Exercise: Listen to your body, monitor for mild discomfort in exercises, and avoid pain as necessary.
