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.
