    Study Notes

    What is Fitness?

    • Fitness means being capable of handling everyday activities without excessive fatigue.
    • A fitter individual excels in tasks like running, moving swiftly, and performing complex skills compared to an unfit person.
    • Regular exercise enhances fitness by strengthening the heart, lungs, and muscles.

    How does Exercise Improve Fitness?

    • Exercise enhances endurance, stamina, flexibility, agility, balance, speed, coordination, and reaction time.
    • Cardiovascular endurance: Sustaining physical activity without exhaustion. Improved through aerobic exercises like running, cycling, and basketball.
    • Muscular strength: The maximum force muscles can exert during a contraction. Improved by lifting weights, using resistance bands, or exercise machines.
    • Muscular endurance: The ability of muscles to repeatedly exert force over time. Improved through push-ups, sit-ups, and planks.
    • Flexibility: The range of motion in a joint or group of joints. Improved with pilates, yoga, and stretching exercises.
    • Body Composition: Proportions of fat, muscle, bone, and water in the body. Improved by regular exercise, lowering sugar and fat intake to reduce body fat percentage, and increasing protein consumption to build muscle mass.

    Diet and Fitness Relationship

    • Overeating and resulting overweight or obesity negatively impact fitness.
    • The heart and lungs work harder to support a heavier body.
    • Knee joints bear a greater load leading to pain affecting movement and balance.
    • Excess weight hinders agility, speed, and stamina.

    Impact of Food Intake on Fitness

    • Excessive consumption of sugary and fatty foods increases body fat percentage.
    • Eating too little can also hinder fitness by causing fatigue and weakness due to insufficient energy.
    • Lack of energy affects mental clarity and physical performance in sports.

    BMI and Fitness

    • Body Mass Index (BMI) determines whether you are underweight, of acceptable weight, overweight, or obese.
    • BMI = Mass (kg) / (Height (m))^2
    • Bodybuilders, weightlifters, and muscular individuals might have a BMI in the obese range due to high muscle mass and low body fat percentage.

    Impact of Food Types on Fitness

    • Protein-rich foods contribute to muscle building and affect body composition.
    • Carbohydrate-rich food intake before athletic events, like long-distance running, improves endurance.
    • Post-exercise consumption of protein and carbs aids in muscle repair.

    Key Points

    • Fitness enables us to meet environmental demands and perform daily activities without tiring.
    • Exercise strengthens the heart, lungs, and muscles, improving various components of fitness.
    • Both excessive and insufficient food intake negatively impact fitness.
    • The type of food consumed can also have a significant effect on fitness.
