    Study Notes

    Health, Fitness, and Well-being

    • Health encompasses physical and mental well-being, absence of illness, and physical fitness.
    • Fitness is the ability to perform physical activities, measured by factors like endurance, strength, and flexibility.
    • Well-being includes emotional, social, and psychological aspects, affecting quality of life.
    • Cardiovascular Endurance: Sustained physical activity ability of the heart and lungs. (e.g., running, cycling)
    • Muscular Endurance: Muscle group's ability to contract repeatedly without fatigue. (e.g., push-ups)
    • Strength: Maximum force a muscle can produce. (e.g., weightlifting)
    • Flexibility: Range of motion at a joint. (e.g., stretching)
    • Body Composition: Ratio of fat, bone, and muscle in the body.
    • Speed: Fast movement across the ground or limb movement. (e.g., sprinting)
    • Power: Maximum force in a short time. (e.g., jumping, throwing)
    • Agility: Quick change in direction and body control. (e.g., soccer)
    • Balance: Maintaining stability while moving or stationary. (e.g., yoga)
    • Coordination: Smooth and efficient use of different body parts. (e.g., dribbling a basketball)
    • Reaction Time: Time to respond to a stimulus. (e.g., starting a race)

    Principles of Training

    • Specificity: Tailoring training to individual goals and activities.
    • Progressive Overload: Increasing workout intensity gradually.
    • Variance: Varying training sessions for all fitness components.
    • Reversibility: Fitness gains lost without continued training.

    Components of Fitness

    • Importance of Warm-up and Cool-down for injury prevention, recovery, and hydration
    • Various warm-up and cool-down methods
    • Training Variables: Frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise
    • Training Methods: Continuous, Fartlek, Interval, Circuit, Weight, Plyometrics, Isometric, and Isotonic training
    • Identifying strengths and weaknesses for personalized fitness programs
    • Establishing a baseline fitness level to track progress and set goals
    • Using multiple tests for fitness monitoring, evaluation, and comparison against norms
    • Assessing fitness through methods like Multi-stage fitness test, 12-minute run, abdominal curl-up, hand grip test, sit and reach, skinfold calipers, etc.

    Contribution of Physical Activity and Diet/Nutrition

    • Reduces risk of chronic diseases
    • Improves mood and social interactions
    • Consequences of a sedentary lifestyle: stress, hypertension, poor body image, obesity, atherosclerosis, and low self-esteem.

    Energy Balance

    • Positive energy balance: consuming more calories than expended (gaining weight)
    • Negative energy balance: burning more calories than consumed (losing weight)
    • Balanced energy: intake matches expenditure (maintaining weight)

    Nutrients and Hydration

    • Protein for tissue repair and recovery, carbohydrates for energy, fat for sustained activity, and minerals
    • Water is essential for hydration, temperature regulation, and metabolic processes
    • Risks of overhydration and underhydration

    Benefits and Importance of Exercise

    • Improves physiological benefits and recovery
    • Increased body temperature, enhanced muscle elasticity and range of motion
    • Injury prevention, faster recovery
