    Study Notes

    Keys to a Good Workout

    • Healthy workouts include a warm-up and cool-down
    • Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of light activity (walking/jogging) to increase blood flow and loosen muscles, preventing strains/tears. Stretching should follow the warm-up, not precede it.
    • Stretching: Increases flexibility, reduces risk of injury. Should be done after a warm-up.
    • Cool-down: 5-10 minutes of light activity and stretching to help muscles relax and return heart rate/breathing to normal.
    • Clothing: Loose-fitting, breathable clothing is preferable for exercise to improve comfort and flexibility
    • Hydration: Drink water before, during, and after exercise; especially important during intense workouts or hot weather.
    • Gradual Progression: Start with moderate activity levels and gradually increase intensity. Avoid overexerting yourself too quickly to avoid injuries.

    Monitoring Your Heart Rate

    • Heart rate monitoring: A way to determine if you are exercising at an appropriate intensity.
    • Resting heart rate: A good indicator of overall heart health; lower rates suggest healthier hearts.
    • Target heart rate range: A specific range that should be reached during exercise. This range varies based on age; to calculate the range, use 220 minus your age, times 0.5 and 0.85 to get the lower and upper limit of the range respectively.
    • During exercise, checking your pulse and heart rate helps you assess whether you are exercising at a proper intensity.

    Staying in Shape for Sports

    • Conditioning: Crucial for sports performance; involves developing skills and building specific muscles needed for the sport. Training typically takes place both on and off the field/court.
    • Nutritional Factors: Sports nutrition is important for meeting extra energy demand during sports activities. Eating foods from major food groups, including complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and protein is important.
    • Hydration: Hydration is essential when playing sports, as fluids are lost through sweat. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking water consistently before, during, and after the activity.
    • Timing of Meals: Eating a meal with carbohydrates and protein about 2-4 hours before exercise is optimal for sufficient energy without feeling overly full. Avoid eating right before activity as digestion requires energy and can make one feel unwell.
    • Dehydration: Avoid dehydration by drinking regularly every 15-20 minutes during intense activity.
    • Sportsmanship: Fair play, respecting rules, congratulating teammates or opponents, and taking turns are components of good sportsmanship.
