    Study Notes

    Basic Concepts of Physical Activity

    • Physical activity involves bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles, leading to energy expenditure.
    • Classified into four domains:
      • Occupational: Activities related to daily jobs (e.g., walking, sitting).
      • Domestic: House-related tasks (e.g., cooking, cleaning).
      • Transportation: Activities that facilitate moving from one place to another (e.g., running, jogging).
      • Leisure Time: Activities for enjoyment during free time (e.g., sports, swimming).
    • Exercise: A subcategory of physical activity characterized by planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movements.

    Types of Physical Activity

    • Aerobic Activities: Enhance cardiorespiratory endurance and aerobic energy production; often referred to as cardio or endurance activities.
    • Muscle-Strengthening: Known as resistance training, aimed at improving muscular strength and power.
    • Bone-Strengthening: Involves weight-bearing activities that promote bone growth and strength.

    Benefits of Physical Activity

    • Reduces the risk of heart disease and helps manage weight.
    • Strengthens bones, muscles, and joints, lowering the risk of osteoporosis.
    • Alleviates anxiety and depression, boosts self-confidence, and improves brain health.

    Components of Physical Fitness

    • Health-Related Fitness: Comprises cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
    • Skill-Related Fitness: Includes abilities such as power, speed, agility, coordination, balance, and reaction time.

    FITT Principle

    • Framework for an effective exercise program:
      • Frequency: How often exercises are performed.
      • Intensity: The difficulty level of the exercises.
      • Type: The kind of exercises being conducted.
      • Time: Duration of the exercise sessions.

    Stress Management

    • Stress: The body's response to physical, mental, or emotional pressure, causing chemical changes in response to threats.
    • Common causes of stress in youth:
      • Adjustment to independence, expectations from elders, romantic issues, financial problems, peer pressure, family issues, and time constraints.
    • Effects of stress vary between individuals and may include physical symptoms like indigestion and sleep alterations.

    Coping with Stress

    • Recognizing stressors is crucial for managing reactions.
    • Coping Strategies: Can be adaptive (positive) or maladaptive (negative):
      • Adaptive: Minimizes stress and provides constructive feedback (e.g., social coping, meaning-focused coping).
      • Maladaptive: Describes negative feelings which may lead to further problems.

    Physical Health Risks of Stress

    • Cardiovascular Issues: Chronic stress elevates heart disease risk by increasing blood pressure and heart rate.
    • Immune System Suppression: Prolonged stress can weaken immunity, making one more vulnerable to infections.
    • Digestive Problems: Causes disruptions like irritable bowel syndrome and stomach ulcers.
    • Sleep Disorders: Can lead to insomnia or progressively deteriorate sleep quality.
    • Muscle Tension and Pain: May cause tension, headaches, and localized pain in the body.
    • Weight Changes: Affects eating habits, resulting in either weight gain or loss.

    Personal Health Control

    • Dehydration: Results from water loss exceeding intake, with 66.66% of body weight made up of water.
    • Overexertion: Happens when physical limits are exceeded, especially during intense exercise.
    • Preventing Overexertion: Important practices include knowing personal limits, stretching, setting realistic goals, staying hydrated, eating nutritious foods, listening to one’s body, and resting.

    Hypothermia & Hyperthermia

    • Hypothermia: Occurs when the body loses more heat than it produces; caused by cold exposure and drinking cold water.
    • Hyperthermia: Results from elevated body temperature due to poor clothing choices, radiation, high temperatures, or excessive physical activity.
