Study Notes
Physical Activity Recommendations
- Incorporating activity into daily life can include taking stairs, walking instead of driving, doing housework, and walking the dog.
- Parking farther away increases physical activity when running errands.
Aerobic Fitness
- Aerobic fitness involves activities that elevate heart rate, breathing, and sweating, improving heart and lung function.
- Regular aerobic exercises enhance cardiovascular efficiency by optimizing oxygen delivery.
- Common aerobic activities include brisk walking, swimming, jogging, and dancing.
Heart Rate Measurement
- Heart rate (HR) is the number of beats per minute (bpm).
- Techniques for measuring heart rate include:
- Apical Pulse: Felt over the heart apex.
- Carotid Pulse: Taken from the carotid artery near the larynx.
- Radial Pulse: Found at the wrist in line with the thumb.
- Temporal Pulse: Located at the temple.
Muscular Strength and Endurance
- Muscular strength refers to the maximum force that muscles can exert, while muscular endurance relates to how many repetitions of a specific weight can be lifted.
- Resistance training, using body weight or external weights, enhances both muscular strength and endurance.
- Activities like weight lifting, push-ups, and resistance band exercises contribute to muscle development.
Bone Strengthening
- Weight-bearing activities that exert force on bones promote bone density and overall health.
- Examples include jogging, walking, and jumping, which encourage bone growth, especially in children.
Circuit Training
- Circuit training involves alternating between multiple exercises targeting different muscle groups.
Flexibility Training
- Flexibility exercises improve muscle elasticity and joint range of motion, decreasing injury risk.
Types of Stretching
- Static Stretching: Recommended for general fitness, involving holding a stretch for 10 to 30 seconds after warming up.
- Active Static Stretching: Utilizes the strength of muscles to hold a position, common in yoga.
- Passive Static Stretching: Involves holding a position using an external force (e.g., body parts held by hands).
- Dynamic Stretching: Involves movement and is ideal for warming up before workouts.
Fitness Classifications
- Activities categorized as aerobic include brisk walking, swimming, dancing, running, and jogging.
- Muscular strength activities include resistance training, weightlifting, and push-ups.
- Bone-strengthening activities comprise walking, jogging, and weight-bearing exercises.
Target Heart Rate (THR) Calculation
- Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) formula: MHR = 220 - age.
- Find Heart Rate Reserve (HRR): HRR = MHR - Resting Heart Rate (RHR).
- Calculate percentages for exercise intensity (60%-80% of HRR) to determine target heart rate range.
Exercise Intensity and Perceived Exertion
- Moderate physical activity allows conversation but not singing; noticeable increases in heart rate and breathing occur.
- Vigorous activity should feel challenging, making conversation difficult.
- The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale ranges from 6 to 20, correlating to heart rate and subjective feelings of exertion, aiding in monitoring workout intensity.
Benefits of Exercise
- Engaging in regular physical activity supports cardiovascular health, muscular strength, and bone density and contributes to overall well-being and fitness.
