Study Notes
Physical Fitness Components
- Five basic components include:
- Cardiorespiratory endurance
- Muscle strength
- Muscle endurance
- Flexibility
- Body composition
Oxygen and Energy Supply
- Cardiovascular and respiratory systems must deliver sufficient oxygen and energy to muscles during physical activity.
Definitions of Strength and Endurance
- Muscle strength: Ability to produce force for a brief time.
- Muscle endurance: Capacity to exert force for an extended period without fatigue.
Flexibility and Body Composition
- Flexibility refers to the range of motion around a joint.
- Body composition represents the proportion of muscle, fat, water, and other tissues in body weight.
Benefits of Physical Fitness
- Six benefits of being physically fit include:
- Improved overall health
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and type-2 diabetes
- Enhanced body composition, bone health, and immune function
- Better sleep quality
- Lower stress levels
Healthy Eating and Exercise Benefits
- Eight advantages of healthy eating and exercise:
- Longer training duration and intensity
- Delayed fatigue onset
- Improved body adaptation to workouts
- Enhanced body composition and strength
- Increased concentration
- Maintained healthy immune function
- Reduced injury risk
- Decreased likelihood of heat cramps and stomach issues
Carbohydrates in Exercise
- Primary fuel for exercise, sparing protein use.
- Easily digested and utilized quickly, helping to prevent early fatigue.
Key Energy Sources
- Carbohydrates serve as the main energy source during high-intensity exercise.
- Fats are the primary source of energy during low-intensity exercise.
Nutritional Timing Before Workouts
- Eating a regular meal rich in carbohydrates and proteins 3-4 hours before exercise is recommended.
- A small snack containing carbs and protein should be consumed 2-3 hours prior.
Digestive Considerations
- Decrease intake of fats and fiber closer to workout times, as they take longer to digest.
Importance of Protein
- Protein is essential for muscle building and repair.
Role of Vitamins and Minerals
- Critical for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to produce energy during exercise.
Pre-Workout Nutrition
- Eating carbohydrates 15 to 30 minutes before exercise provides immediate energy, spares glycogen, and helps reduce muscle damage.
- High-fat foods should be avoided before exercise due to their slow digestion and potential to cause discomfort.
Meal Suggestions Before Exercise
- For 3-4 hours before exercise:
- Options include turkey and cheese on whole wheat, fruit and yogurt smoothie, or oatmeal with a banana.
- For 30-60 minutes before exercise:
- Suggestions include granola bars, fresh fruit, pretzels, or nonfat yogurt/smoothies.
Snack Options During Exercise
- Ideal snacks include raisins and bananas for quick energy replenishment.
