    Study Notes

    Physical Activity

    • Physical activity involves skeletal muscle activities that utilize energy.
    • Four domains of physical activity:
      • Occupational: Activities performed at the workplace, such as lifting items or preparing meals.
      • Domestic: Home-based activities including cleaning, gardening, and cooking.
      • Transportation: Activities involved in traveling, such as biking or using public transit.

    Exercise

    • Defined as planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movements aimed at improving or maintaining physical fitness or health.

    Types of Physical Activities

    • Aerobic Activities: Endurance activities that involve rhythmic movement of large muscles over a sustained period.
    • Muscle-Strengthening Activities: Resistance training and weightlifting that challenge muscles to work against an applied force.
    • Bone-Strengthening Activities: Activities that create a force on bones to stimulate growth and increase strength.

    Barriers to Physical Activity

    • Common obstacles include:
      • Lack of Time: Busy schedules can limit opportunities for physical activity.
      • Social Support: Insufficient encouragement from friends or family may hinder motivation.
      • Lack of Energy: Fatigue can discourage participation in physical activities.
      • Lack of Motivation: Personal interest and commitment are crucial for regular activity.
      • Fear of Injury: Concerns about potential injuries can deter individuals from exercising.
      • Lack of Skill: Perceived inadequacy in abilities may prevent engagement in certain activities.

    • Flexibility: Range of motion available at a joint or group of joints.
    • Muscular Endurance: Ability to sustain repeated muscle exertion over time.
    • Muscular Strength: Maximum force a muscle can produce in a single effort.
    • Agility: Rapid changes in body position while maintaining control.
    • Balance: Stability and control of the body in static and dynamic positions.
    • Coordination: Seamless collaboration between body parts during activities.
    • Power: The combination of strength and speed in movement.
    • Reaction Time: Speed of response to a stimulus or signal.
    • Speed: Quickness in movement or action.

    Specific Components of Physical Fitness

    • Agility: Quick and light movement changes while maintaining balance.
    • Balance: Neuro-muscular control to keep the body steady.
    • Coordination: Integration of body parts for smooth motion execution.
    • Endurance: Ability to perform sustained contractions of muscle groups.
    • Flexibility: Capacity for a wide range of movements.
    • Organic Vigor: Heart and lung health aiding disease resistance.
    • Power: Rapid maximal force production by muscles.
