Study Notes

Physical Activity, Exercise, and Fitness

  • Aerobic exercises focus on repetition, intensity, rhythm, and large muscle groups (e.g., arms, thighs)
  • Flexibility exercises are important for a complete workout routine
  • Strength training (weight training) builds muscle strength, endurance, and size
  • Physical activity involves movement using large skeletal muscles; it's defined by duration, intensity, and frequency
  • Duration is the time spent in a physical activity session
  • Intensity is the rate of energy expenditure during a session
  • Frequency is the number of physical activity sessions within a specific time period (e.g., a week)

Types of Physical Activity

  • Aerobic: light to vigorous activity requiring more oxygen
  • Anaerobic: intense, short-duration activity requiring energy without sufficient oxygen
  • Lifestyle Physical Activity: regular physical activity performed daily
  • Play: activities with flexible rules and focused on enjoyment
  • Sports: competitive activities with rules, scorekeeping, and outcomes
  • Weight-bearing: activities requiring body weight to be moved

Types of Exercise

  • Calisthenics: muscle fitness exercise that overloads muscles
  • Isotonic: constant force throughout the full range of motion
  • Isometric: constant force without movement
  • Isotonic exercises involve muscle shortening
  • Isokinetic exercises involve variable resistance while a limb is in constant motion
  • Agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, and reaction time are related to physical fitness
  • Performance or motor fitness
  • Improves fitness and athletic capabilities for activities

Fitness Training

  • Bone-strengthening activities promote bone strength through impacting or stretching

Cardiovascular System

  • Cardiovascular or aerobic fitness is a part of the circulatory system
  • It's important for transporting nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and enzymes
  • Circuit training involves exercise stations for aerobic and strength training

Muscle Training

  • Concentric muscle actions occur when muscles shorten in length
  • Continuous training is sustained, non-stop exercise
  • Cool-down lowers body temperature and heart rate after intense exercise
  • Core muscles include abdominals, lower back, obliques, and hips
  • Cross-training uses another sport or activity to improve fitness

Flexibility and Movement

  • Flexibility is the range of motion in joints
  • Flexion is bending a joint to bring the bones close together
  • Heart rate reserve is the difference between resting and maximum heart rate
  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the five major types of lipoproteins; it helps remove harmful cholesterol
  • High-impact activities involve leaving the ground, such as running and jumping
  • Hypertrophy is muscle growth
  • High-intensity interval training (HIIT) uses short, intense activity periods followed by brief recovery periods

Other Terms

  • Ketosis occurs when the body doesn't have enough glucose for energy
  • Lifestyle activities are daily activities
  • Muscular endurance is the ability to repeat an activity repeatedly without fatigue
  • Plyometric training involves quickly lengthening and shortening muscle actions in a series
  • Repetition is repeating exercises within a set
  • Resting heart rate is the heart rate while inactive
  • Static stretching is used to stretch muscles at rest
  • Strength training is a type of physical exercise that uses resistance

Balance Training

  • Specific exercises to improve balance are listed (Standing, heel to toe, etc)

Health and Fitness

  • Health and fitness are important for everyday activities
  • Physical health, mental health, and social health are all considered necessary aspects for well-being
