Study Notes
Measuring Fitness
- Fitness level assessment crucial for developing an effective fitness plan.
- Several tests measure different fitness components.
Measuring Flexibility
- V-sit reach or sit-and-reach test measures flexibility.
- Mark a line on the floor, sit with feet behind, and reach as far as possible.
- Hold stretch for 3 seconds and record the distance reached.
Measuring Heart and Lung Endurance
- Timed one-mile run or walk assesses heart and lung health.
- Maintain as fast a pace as possible. Walking acceptable if running is too strenuous.
Measuring Muscle Strength and Endurance
- Curl-ups measure abdominal strength and endurance.
- Lie on back, knees bent, arms crossed; raise body to touch elbows to knees. Record repetitions per minute.
- Right-angle push-ups assess upper body strength and endurance.
- Start in push-up position, lower body until elbows form 90-degree angles; then raise body back up. Record repetitions.
- Weight lifting (resistance training) crucial for muscle building; weights should tire muscles after 10-12 repetitions; proper supervision essential.
Checking Results
- Fitness tests results guide goal setting.
- Refer to a table in the Lesson Resources to determine healthy results for various ages.
- Use the same tests to measure fitness progress.
Setting and Reaching Fitness Goals
- Initial fitness assessment guides goal setting.
- Goals can focus on specific activities or fitness components (e.g., flexibility, endurance, strength).
- Different exercises benefit different fitness components.
Choosing Activities
- Personal preferences and enjoyment essential for adherence to a fitness plan.
- Consider group activities, solo activities, or cross-training.
- Required equipment, partner/teammates, and special skills should be considered.
- Schedule and location requirements must be met.
Creating a Schedule
- Comprehensive fitness plan usually involves a variety of activities.
- Aerobic activities (e.g., hiking, biking) essential for heart and lung endurance.
- Vigorous aerobic activities (e.g., swimming, jumping rope) should be incorporated at least 3 times a week.
- Muscle and bone strengthening exercises (e.g., weight lifting, sit-ups) should also be included at least 3 times a week.
- Effective time management aids in exercise consistency.
F.I.T.T. Principle
- To improve fitness, increase the frequency, intensity, time, or type of exercise gradually.
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
- Start with two to three work-outs per week, increase frequency as fitness improves.
- Begin with a manageable intensity, increase as fitness progresses
- Gradually increase exercise time.
- Vary daily exercise types to target different muscle groups. (e.g., mix aerobic and muscle strengthening exercises).
- A full workout routine ideally involves 60 minutes of varied physical activity.
