Study Notes

Energy Systems for Muscle

The Aerobic Energy System supplies energy for low-intensity activities lasting from two minutes to several hours; also known as the Oxidative system.

Eating Habits

Balance in diet is important; both under-eating and over-eating can lead to malnutrition, overweight, or obesity.
Malnutrition can occur when individuals don't consume adequate nutrients, leading to lack of energy.

Sleep Management

Recommended sleep duration is 6 to 8 hours per night for optimal health.
Poor sleep habits, prevalent among teens, include staying up late for work, internet addiction, and eating before bedtime.

Effects of Stress

Stress is a common life component that can result from environmental factors, fatigue, workload, and loneliness.
If not managed, stress can lead to health issues such as poor immunity, hypertension, and heart disease.

Types of Eating Habits

Fuel for Performance: Athletes need balanced intake of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and water for optimal performance.
Emotional Eating: Consuming food in response to emotions rather than hunger.
Social Eating: Eating during social gatherings often leads to consumption beyond hunger to fit in socially.
Distracted Eating: Engaging in activities like watching TV while eating can lead to overeating.

Stress Symptoms

Mental Symptoms: Lack of focus, low self-esteem, and feelings of worthlessness.
Physical Symptoms: Weakness, headaches, upset stomach, loss of appetite, and sleeplessness.
Emotional Symptoms: Nervousness, mood swings, and overwhelming feelings.

Coping with Stress

Regular exercise can be effective for managing stress.
Types of physical activity:
- Aerobic: Moderate intensity, enhances cardiovascular health (e.g., jogging, swimming).
- Anaerobic: High-intensity, short-duration activities requiring high energy (e.g., sprinting).
- Lifestyle Activities: Routine tasks such as walking or climbing stairs.
- Play and Sports: Engaging in enjoyable activities and organized games under structured rules.

Physical Fitness Testing

Assessing health status helps in identifying strengths and weaknesses. This awareness aids in planning a healthy lifestyle and targeted improvements.

Cardiovascular Endurance: Ability to sustain activity through efficient oxygen delivery.
Muscular Strength: Maximum force exerted by muscles in one effort, beneficial for daily activities.
Muscular Endurance: Capability of muscles to perform continuously without fatigue.
Flexibility: Range of motion in joints.
Body Composition: Ratios of fat, muscle, bone, and water in the body.

Barriers to Physical Activity

Personal barriers include lack of time, motivation, enjoyment, confidence, and support from others.
Environmental barriers relate to accessibility to exercise facilities, safe walking paths, and recreational areas, impacting participation in physical activity.
