Physical Activity
- Bodily movements produced by skeletal muscles leading to energy expenditure.
- Four domains of physical activity: occupational, domestic, transportation, leisure time.
- Benefits of physical activity include reducing heart disease risk, better weight management, stronger bones and muscles, enhanced self-confidence, and improved brain health.
Exercise
- A subcategory of physical activity characterized by planned, structured, and repetitive movements.
- FITT Principle: Frequency, Intensity, Type, Time for effective training.
- Main types of physical activity:
- Aerobic Activities: Improve cardiovascular efficiency and endurance.
- Muscle Strengthening: Enhances muscular strength and power through resistance training.
- Bone Strengthening: Involves weight-bearing activities that promote bone health and growth.
Phases of Exercise
- Body conditioning (inhale, exhale), light exercises, moderate exercises, extreme exercises, cooling down phase.
Components of Physical Fitness
- Health-Related Fitness: Multidimensional, including cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
- Skill-Related Fitness: Necessary motor skills and movement patterns, including power, speed, agility, coordination, balance, and reaction time.
Stress Management
- Response to physical, mental, or emotional pressure causing biochemical changes (blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar levels).
- Potential causes of stress in youth: independence adjustments, elder expectations, romantic and financial issues, peer pressure, societal standards, time constraints, and family problems.
