Study Notes
Holistic Health
- Holistic health encompasses five interconnected aspects: physical, mental/cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual.
- Physical health involves diet, activity, sleep, hygiene, safe sexual practices, and avoids drug use.
- Mental/cognitive health involves learning, focus, resilience, problem-solving, and a general sense of satisfaction and happiness.
- Emotional health centers around managing emotions, empathy, and self-regulation, alongside self-esteem and resilience.
- Social health focuses on healthy relationships with peers, family, partners, and effective conflict resolution.
- Spiritual health involves values, beliefs, cultural practices, and a sense of purpose.
Nutrition
-
Macronutrients are the body's primary energy sources.
-
Carbohydrates provide energy.
- Simple carbs (e.g., fruits, candy) offer quick energy.
- Complex carbs (e.g., whole grains, rice) offer sustained energy.
- Fiber aids digestion (e.g., vegetables, bran).
-
Proteins build and repair tissues, support the immune system, and regulate enzymes.
- Sources include animal-based foods (meat, eggs, milk) and plant-based foods (beans, lentils, rice – combining for essential amino acids).
-
Fats (lipids) store energy, protect organs, and absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
- Saturated fats (e.g., butter, animal fats) should be limited.
- Unsaturated fats (e.g., nuts, seeds, fish) are healthier.
- Trans fats (e.g., margarine, fried foods) should be avoided.
- Water is essential for cellular function and hydration; aim for at least 1 litre per day, more if active.
-
Carbohydrates provide energy.
-
Micronutrients include:
-
Vitamins:
- Water-soluble (B, C) are not stored and need daily intake.
- Fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) are stored in fat tissues.
- Minerals support bones, oxygen transport and various bodily functions (e.g., calcium, iron, zinc, sodium).
-
Vitamins:
- Nutrition Labels: Pay close attention to serving size for accurate calorie and nutrient information. Percentages of Daily Value (5% or less is low, 20% or more is high)
Fitness
-
Components of Fitness:
- Cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength & endurance, agility, flexibility, power, reaction time, speed, and coordination/balance.
-
Exercise Types:
- Primary/Core exercises: multi-joint, large muscle group exercises performed first in a workout (e.g., squats, deadlifts, bench press, pull-ups).
- Secondary/Assistance exercises: target smaller muscle groups and individual muscles (e.g., bicep curls, tricep extensions, leg curls).
- Accessory exercises: support core exercises and help prevent injuries (e.g., lunges, bent-over rows, ab rollouts).
Anatomy
-
Terms of Direction:
- Anterior (front), posterior (back), superior (top), inferior (bottom), medial (towards midline), lateral (away from midline), proximal (closer to body), distal (further from body), superficial (near surface), deep (further from surface).
-
Joint Classifications:
- Fibrous (synarthrosis): immovable (e.g., cranial sutures).
- Cartilaginous (amphiarthrosis): slightly movable (e.g., intervertebral discs).
- Synovial (diarthrosis): freely movable; detailed types follow.
-
Types of Synovial Joints:
- Hinge (flexion/extension, e.g., knee), Pivot (180° rotation, e.g., neck), Saddle (flexion, extension, side-to-side, e.g., thumb), Plane (gliding, e.g., wrist), Ball-and-socket (most motion, e.g., shoulder, hip), Condyloid (flexion, extension, slight side-to-side, e.g., knuckles).
- Movements at Synovial Joints: (Examples provided, covering flexion, extension, hyperextension, etc.)
Health
- Definition of Health: Holistic health is a balanced and interconnected state encompassing physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
- Components of Fitness: (same as the Fitness section)
- Exercise Types: (same as the Fitness section)
- Final Exam Tips: Understand diagrams, practice movements, understand nutrition (macros, micros), remember fitness principles (FITT), and prepare holistically.
