Study Notes

Fitness Components

  • Skill-related fitness components include reaction time, core stability exercises, and various skill components.
  • Non-communicable diseases are chronic illnesses not caused by infections.
  • Health-related fitness components include flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, body composition, speed, power, and agility.

FITT Principle

  • Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type (FITT) are key principles of exercise.
  • Frequency refers to how often one exercises.
  • Intensity describes how hard an individual exercises.
  • Moderate intensity corresponds to a 5-6 on a scale of 0-10.
  • Time refers to the duration of exercise.
  • The recommended time for an effective workout is 30-45 minutes.
  • Type refers to the type of exercise or activity performed.

Aerobic Training

  • Aerobic training improves cardiovascular endurance.
  • Exercises such as running improve cardiovascular fitness.
  • Strength training builds muscle strength and endurance.

Movement Competency Screen (MCS)

  • The MCS involves movements like body weight squats, lunges, push-ups, bends, and single-leg squats. This assesses an individual's ability to perform different movements free of dysfunction or pain.

Exercise and Sports

  • Exercise involves planned, structured physical activity.
  • Sports are competitive physical activities.
  • Leisure includes activities for relaxation or personal enjoyment.

Nutrition and Health

  • Adequate nutrition is essential for good health.
  • The thermic effect of food (TEF) uses about 10% of daily caloric intake for digestion.
  • Maintaining a calorie deficit, where calories burned exceed calories consumed, helps prevent diabetes.
  • Main energy sources are carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

Stress and Well-being
