Study Notes
Respiration
- The process of breathing involves inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
- Cells use oxygen to break down glucose, a type of sugar, to obtain energy.
Muscle Function
- Muscles break down glucose for energy, which requires oxygen.
- Muscle contraction is possible when glucose is converted into energy.
- Most of the energy released during glucose breakdown is released as heat to maintain body temperature.
- Carbon dioxide and water are waste products of glucose breakdown.
- Carbon dioxide and water vapor are exhaled by the lungs.
- The amount of glucose used varies depending on the activity level.
Exercise
- Exercise is physical activity performed to maintain physical fitness and overall health.
- Fitness encompasses physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being.
- A fit person can adapt and cope holistically in any situation.
FITT Principle
- FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
- This principle designs exercise programs based on individual needs and abilities.
- Frequency refers to how often exercise is performed, while intensity refers to the difficulty of the exercise.
- Time refers to the duration of the exercise session, and type refers to the specific exercise used.
Personal Goals and SMART Criteria
- Personal goals are things individuals aim to achieve through exercise, such as weight loss, endurance gain, or strength increase.
- SMART criteria, an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound, is a framework for setting effective goals.
- The FITT principle plays a role in achieving fitness goals while preventing injury during exercise.
Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
- The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a scale used to subjectively assess exercise intensity.
- It's closely related to heart rate, breathing, perspiration, and muscle movement.
- RPE scales range from 6 to 20 or 0 to 10, with higher numbers representing greater exertion.
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
- Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the fastest heart rate an individual can achieve in one minute.
- MHR helps determine the intensity of exercise that can be safely handled.
- The formula for calculating MHR is: MHR = 206.9 - (0.67 x age).
- Different intensity levels are associated with specific percentages of MHR.
Components of Health-Related Fitness
- Health-related fitness is essential for improving overall body conditions and well-being.
- It enhances the ability to engage in daily activities and prevents chronic diseases.
- Components of health-related fitness include:
- Cardiovascular fitness: The heart, lungs, blood vessels, and blood's ability to deliver oxygen-rich blood to working muscles.
- Body composition: The percentage of fat relative to lean body tissues (muscles and bones).
- Flexibility: The body's ability to perform a wide range of movements without straining joints and muscles.
- Muscular strength: The capacity of muscles to exert maximum force against resistance.
- Muscular endurance: The ability of muscles to sustain movement against resistance over a prolonged period.
Components of Skill-Related Fitness
- Skill-related fitness involves skills that enhance performance in games and sports.
- Components of skill-related fitness include:
- Agility: The ability to change position in space quickly and accurately.
- Balance: The ability to maintain equilibrium of the body in space.
- Coordination: The ability to use body parts and senses together accurately and efficiently.
- Power: The ability to exert maximum force within the shortest period of time.
- Speed: The ability to execute movements quickly.
- Reaction time: The ability to produce a quick response to an external stimulus.
