Study Notes
Weight Management
- Aerobic exercise effectively burns calories, aiding in healthy weight maintenance and weight loss.
- Endorphins released during aerobic exercise enhance mood, decrease stress, and elevate self-esteem.
Food Fuels for Energy
- Carbohydrates serve as a primary energy source; found in starch and sugar forms.
- Glucose, the blood's main sugar, and glycogen, the stored glucose, are crucial for energy.
- Fats provide heat and energy while facilitating vitamin storage; sources include meat, butter, and oils.
- Proteins are essential for tissue building and repair; sources include meat, fish, eggs, and legumes.
Definition of Anaerobic Exercise
- Involves short, intense physical activity without oxygen use for energy generation.
- Leads to lactic acid buildup in muscles, causing a burning sensation.
- Includes activities like weightlifting, sprinting, HIIT, and plyometrics.
Energy Systems
- Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a key energy currency for bodily functions.
- Glycolytic System breaks down glucose for quick energy with limited capacity.
- Oxidative System uses oxygen for efficient, sustained energy production.
Differences Between Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise
- Duration: Aerobic exercises last longer (20-60 minutes) while anaerobic are shorter and more intense.
- Energy Source: Aerobic relies on oxygen; anaerobic uses stored energy.
- Recovery: Aerobic promotes longer sessions with less intensity; anaerobic requires more recovery between efforts.
Benefits of Aerobic Exercise
- Strengthens the heart and improves circulation, lowering heart disease and stroke risk.
- Dance as an aerobic activity offers stress relief, focus, and an emotional outlet.
Health-Related Fitness Components
- Muscular Endurance: Ability to sustain muscle use over extended periods without fatigue.
- Flexibility: The capacity to bend, twist, and move joints comfortably.
- Body Composition: Proportions of fat, lean mass, and water in the body.
Skill-related Fitness
- Involves abilities crucial for sports performance, developed through training.
- Agility: React quickly and adjust body position.
- Balance: Maintain steadiness in various positions.
- Coordination: Smooth integration of body movements.
- Power: Generating force quickly; measured by strength and speed.
Health-Related Fitness Importance
- Foundation for wellness; reduces chronic disease risks and enhances daily living capabilities.
- Cardiorespiratory Endurance: A measure of the heart and lung's efficiency during physical activity.
- Muscular Strength: Maximum force exerted by muscles.
Skill-related Fitness Benefits
- Boosts athletic performance through enhanced physical abilities.
- Develops coordination and balance, reducing injury risk.
- Translation of skills to improved mobility and safety in daily activities.
- Gaining new skills fosters a satisfying exercise experience.
