    Study Notes

    Physical Activity and Exercise

    • Physical activity is any bodily movement using skeletal muscles, resulting in energy expenditure.
    • Exercise is a planned, structured, and repetitive physical activity aimed at improving or maintaining physical fitness.

    Physical Fitness

    • Definition: The ability to perform daily tasks without fatigue, participate in physical activities, and have reserves for emergencies.
    • Components:
      • Health-related:
        • Body composition: The relative amount of fat to fat-free mass.
        • Flexibility: Full range of motion at joints.
        • Cardiovascular endurance: Efficient oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues.
        • Muscular endurance: Repeated muscle activity without fatigue.
        • Muscular strength: Muscle force generation.
      • Skill-related:
        • Agility: Quick changes in body position with control.
        • Speed: Moving in one direction as fast as possible.
        • Balance: Maintaining body control and stability.
        • Coordination: Cooperative body part movements.
        • Power: Strength and speed combined.
        • Reaction time: Quick response to a signal.

    Principles of Training

    • Adaptation: The body's physiological response to repeated training.
    • Specificity: Exercise adaptations are specific to the type of activity.
    • Progressive overload: Gradually increasing exercise demands to continue fitness improvements.
