Study Notes

Introduction to PE1100

Physical education promotes holistic development in students, enhancing knowledge and skills beneficial in daily life.

Objectives of Physical Education

Physical: Primary goal is to promote fitness, enabling individuals to work and play without fatigue through active participation.
Mental: Participation in physical activities enhances mental capabilities, improves decision-making, and treats depression by releasing neurotransmitters.
Social: Engaging in physical activities fosters social skills such as teamwork, cooperation, and sportsmanship.
Emotional: Physical activities help manage emotions, build self-confidence, and encourage desirable character traits like determination and respect.

Cardio Respiratory Endurance: Ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to supply oxygen and nutrients to muscles during sustained activities.
Muscular Strength: Maximum force a muscle or group of muscles can exert in a single effort.
Muscular Endurance: Capability of muscle groups to sustain repeated contractions over time.
Flexibility: Range of motion available at a joint through muscle and tendon elasticity.
Body Composition: Ratio of body fat to lean mass, including muscles, bones, and organs.

Agility: Skill to change body direction rapidly while maintaining speed.
Balance: Ability to maintain equilibrium, either stationary or in motion.
Speed: Quickness of moving the entire body or parts of it.
Power: Combination of strength and speed, enabling explosive movements.
Reaction Time: Duration between stimulus and response; shorter times can enhance performance in sports.
Coordination: The seamless integration of body movements with sensory input.

The FITT Principle in Exercise

FITT Acronym:
- Frequency: Number of exercise sessions per week, ideally 3 times with rest in between.
- Intensity: Measuring exercise difficulty; must raise heart rate to 60-80% of heart rate reserve (HRR) for fitness benefits.
- Time: Duration of exercise sessions, varying by intensity and activity.
- Type: The specific activity or exercise being performed.

Determining Target Heart Rate (THR) Using Karvonen’s Formula

Resting Heart Rate (RHR): Measure pulse for one minute, preferably upon waking.
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR): Estimated as 220 minus age.
Heart Rate Reserve (HRR): Calculated by subtracting RHR from MHR.
THR Calculation:
- Lower THR (60%): THR = (HRR x 0.60) + RHR
- Higher THR (80%): THR = (HRR x 0.80) + RHR
Example for a 20-year-old with RHR of 80 bpm:
- MHR = 200, HRR = 120, THR range is 152 to 176 bpm.

The Talk Test Method

Evaluates exercise intensity based on the ability to converse during activity.
Good intensity allows for light conversation; difficulty speaking indicates the exercise might be too intense.
