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

Excessive stress can lead to anxiety and depression.
Regular physical activity can improve overall health, elevate mood, improve sleep, and boost self-esteem.
Endorphins are natural mood boosters produced by the body.
