Study Notes
Cardiovascular Endurance
- Also known as aerobic fitness, it's the capacity of the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs) to supply oxygen and nutrients to body tissues during prolonged physical activity.
Flexibility
- Defined as the range of motion around a joint or groups of joints, aiding in safe movement and injury prevention.
- Improvement through stretching exercises is essential for enhanced flexibility.
Muscular Strength
- Refers to the maximum force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single contraction.
- Crucial for activities that involve lifting, pushing, or carrying heavy loads.
Skill-related Fitness
- Comprises physical attributes linked to performance in sports and activities, enhancing athletic proficiency.
- Key components include:
- Agility: Ability to swiftly change direction, vital in sports like soccer and basketball.
- Balance: The capacity to maintain stability, important in gymnastics and yoga.
- Coordination: Harmonious interaction of body parts for precise movement, essential in baseball and martial arts.
Power and Speed
- Power: Ability to generate maximum force quickly, significant in weightlifting and shot put.
- Speed: The ability to move rapidly from one point to another, fundamental in sprinting and track events.
Reaction Time
- The duration taken to respond to stimuli. It notably impacts sports such as boxing and table tennis.
Importance of Physical Fitness
- Enhances physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life.
- Regular physical activity and a balanced diet help mitigate chronic disease risks, boost health, and improve daily task performance.
- Emphasizes a holistic approach to fitness, beyond aesthetics, promoting health and happiness.
Health-related Fitness
- Refers to attributes associated with overall health and lowering chronic disease risks.
- Body Composition: It includes:
- Lean Body Mass (LBM): Includes muscles, bones, and organs, known as fat-free mass.
- Body Fat: Essential for functions like insulation and energy but can lead to health issues in excess.
Somatotypes
- Descriptive categories of body types: endomorph, mesomorph, and ectomorph.
- Individuals may exhibit combinations of these types; body type can change with diet and exercise.
- Genetics, lifestyle, and environment significantly influence physique and should be considered in fitness evaluations.
