Study Notes
Habit Formation
- Habits are regularly repeated behaviors that become automatic.
- Habits form through repetition and association of cues with behaviors.
- Strategies for building habits include small steps, positive reinforcement, progress tracking, and If-Then planning.
- If-Then planning involves anticipating obstacles: Example - "If I feel too tired to work out after work, then I will do a 10-minute stretch session."
- WOOP is a goal-achievement strategy using Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan. Example: Wish: "Run a 5k," Outcome: "Feel proud," Obstacle: "Busy schedule," Plan: "Run Tues & Thurs."
- Smaller, specific goals are easier to manage and motivate over larger ones. Tracking progress helps stay accountable and motivated.
Lifestyle and Physical Activity
- Sedentary lifestyles lack physical activity, risking health. Active lifestyles involve regular activity, promoting health.
- Physical activity is any movement using energy, like walking or cleaning; Exercise is planned activity for improved fitness, like running.
- Simple ways to incorporate physical activity: walking, stairs, stretching, short workouts.
Cardiovascular System
- The cardiovascular system transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products.
- Exercise strengthens the heart, increasing blood flow and efficiency.
Muscular Strength and Weight Management
- Muscular strength is the force muscles can exert, crucial for posture and injury prevention.
- Physical activity builds bone density and muscle mass.
- Weight gain occurs when calorie intake exceeds expenditure; weight loss is the opposite.
- A 3,500 calorie deficit or surplus results in a one-pound weight change.
Benefits of Physical Activity
- Physical activity improves mental health, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. It improves sleep, mood, and energy levels.
- "Your Why" is the personal motivation for health goals, providing long-term commitment.
- The Purpose Formula finds personal motivations: identify goals, reasons, and commitment strategies.
- Rejection Therapy involves intentionally seeking rejection to build resilience and persistence.
General Fitness Concepts
- Physical fitness is classified into health-related and skill-related fitness.
- Health-related fitness includes cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition. It's important for overall health.
Components of Health-Related Fitness
- Cardiovascular endurance: Capacity of heart/lungs to provide oxygen.
- Muscular strength: Ability to exert force.
- Muscular endurance: Sustaining repeated muscle contractions.
- Flexibility: Range of motion in joints.
- Body composition: Ratio of fat to lean tissue.
Aerobic and Anaerobic Fitness
- Aerobic fitness uses oxygen for sustained activity (running, swimming).
- Anaerobic fitness involves short bursts of high intensity activity not needing oxygen (sprinting, weightlifting).
Muscular Strength and Endurance
- Muscular strength is the ability of muscles to exert force, crucial for daily tasks.
- Methods for increasing strength: weightlifting, resistance training, bodyweight exercises, progressive overload.
- Bodyweight exercises use body weight, while others use external resistance.
Flexibility
- Flexibility is the range of motion in joints/muscles. It's important for injury prevention and enhancing performance.
- Dynamic stretching involves movement (leg swings); static stretching involves holding a position (touching toes).
- Light dynamic stretching is recommended before intensive activity, preparing muscles and improving flexibility.
