Study Notes
Isotonic
- Involves muscle contraction that leads to movement, enhancing muscular strength and flexibility.
- Common exercises include squats, lunges, push-ups, jumping jacks, skiers, burpees, crunches, and running.
Isometric
- Consists of tightening or contracting muscles without movement to build strength.
- Examples include planks and wall sits.
Isokinetic
- Involves moving weights or resistance through a full range of motion, promoting flexibility, strength, and endurance.
- Common activities are bicep curls, medicine balls, ergs, kettlebells, and goblet squats.
Cardiovascular/Cardiorespiratory Endurance
- Measures the heart's efficiency in pumping oxygen-rich blood and recovery post-activity.
- Exercises include pacer tests, mile runs, and 10-minute runs.
Flexibility
- Refers to the capacity of joints and surrounding muscles and tendons to move freely through their full range of motion.
- An example is the sit and reach test.
Muscular Strength
- Indicates a muscle or group's ability to exert maximum force against resistance.
- Broad jumps are an example of a strength-focused exercise.
Muscular Endurance
- The ability of a muscle group to sustain force over time against submaximal resistance.
- Activities like minute pushups and minute sit-ups measure endurance.
Body Composition
- Expresses the ratio of lean body mass (bone, muscle, organs) to body fat, typically as a percentage.
- Often assessed through various body measurements.
Speed
- Refers to the rate of motion or performance, emphasizing quickness.
- An example is completing a 20-yard sprint.
Agility
- The capacity to move quickly and easily, crucial in many physical activities.
- Exercises like shuttle runs and dot drills enhance agility.
Power
- Represents the ability to exert maximum effort or force quickly.
- Broad jumps serve as a practical example of testing power.
Balance
- The ability to maintain equilibrium, important for coordination and stability.
- One-foot balancing exercises illustrate this skill.
Aerobic
- Involves exercises that rely on continuous oxygen uptake over extended periods.
- Activities such as run-walk routines exemplify aerobic exercise.
Anaerobic
- Describes high-intensity exercises where oxygen demand exceeds supply.
- Includes activities like sprints and short-distance rowing.
Warm-up
- Aims to prepare the body by elevating heart rate, enhancing blood flow, increasing muscle flexibility, and improving muscle temperature, all reducing injury risk.
Main Physical Activity
- Refers to specific exercises targeted to improve various health-related fitness components.
Cool Down
- Involves activities that help the body return to a normal state, reducing muscle soreness and stress on bodily systems.
Overload
- A principle of fitness involving increased resistance or stress (weight, time, repetitions) to enhance health-related fitness components.
Progression
- Involves gradually increasing frequency, intensity, or duration in exercise routines to improve fitness levels over time.
