Study Notes
Physical Activity vs. Exercise
- Physical Activity: Body movement involving muscles that consumes energy.
- Recreational Physical Activity: Enjoyable activities like hiking, rafting, and horseback riding.
- Exercise: Structured physical movements, performed regularly for fitness benefits.
-
Types of Exercise:
- Aerobic: Increases oxygen circulation.
- Strength and Endurance: Enhances muscle/bone strength.
- Flexibility: Improves range of motion and joint movement.
Aerobic Capacity
- Maximum oxygen consumption during exercise, using large muscle groups.
- Aerobic activity enhances cardiovascular health.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
- Involves short bursts of intense effort lasting 15 seconds to 4 minutes.
Health Benefits of Physical Activity
- Strengthens immune system.
- Reduces stress and maintains blood pressure.
- Lowers risk of chronic diseases and improves concentration.
Muscular Strength and Endurance
- Focus: Muscle and bone strengthening.
- Benefits of Strength Training:
- Increases bone density and metabolism.
- Improves body shape and balance.
- Reduces injury risk.
Flexibility
- Defined as pain-free movement of joints.
- Enhances range of motion and stability.
Body Composition
- Proportion of body fat to lean body mass.
Muscle Function
-
Antagonistic Muscles: Pairs working against each other.
- Antagonist: Relaxed muscle.
- Synergist: Stabilizes the stationary bone.
-
Resistance Exercises: Involves pushing or pulling weights (external or body weight).
- Isometric Contraction: Muscles exert force without changing length.
- Isotonic Contraction: Muscle length changes under tension.
Types of Strength
- Static Strength: Force exertion on immovable objects.
- Explosive Strength: Short, fast movements (e.g., javelin throw).
- Dynamic Strength: Sustained force over time linked to endurance.
Stretching Exercises
- Aim: Improve muscle flexibility and elasticity, enhance joint range of motion.
- Static Stretching: Muscle stretches held for a few seconds.
- Ballistic Stretching: Extending range of motion through dynamic movements.
- Dynamic Stretching: Slow repetitive movements to strengthen and increase flexibility.
Energy Systems & ATP
- Basal Metabolic Rate: Energy required to maintain body temperature at rest.
- Working Energy: Energy used during physical activities.
ATP Production Systems
- ATP-PCr System: Quick energy for 5-15 seconds through creatine phosphate (high power, short duration).
- Glycolytic System: Rapid energy from breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose; not sustained for long.
- Oxidative System: Slow and long-term ATP production during rest and low-intensity exercise.
