Study Notes
Physical Education
- There are two key types of fitness: Health-Related Fitness and Skill-Related Fitness
-
Health-Related Fitness components are:
- Body Composition: The amount of fat mass versus lean mass in the body. This is measured with tools like Body Mass Index (BMI).
- Cardiorespiratory Endurance: The ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide the body with the necessary oxygen during sustained workouts.
- Flexibility: The ability to move joints through their full range of motion. This can be measured with the Sit and Reach test.
- Muscular Strength: The ability to exert a force against a resistance in a single effort. Measured through exercises like Plank.
- Muscular Endurance: The ability of a particular muscle group to exert force repeatedly or sustain a contraction. Measured through exercises like Push Ups.
- Power: The ability to exert maximum force with an explosive action. Measured through exercises like Vertical Jump.
-
Skill-Related Fitness components are:
- Agility: The ability to change one’s entire position in space quickly and accurately. This is seen in sports like Basketball.
- Balance: The ability to maintain equilibrium or control one's position in space. Measured through exercises like Single Leg Stand or Yoga.
- Coordination: The ability to use one’s body parts and senses together accurately and smoothly to perform a task or produce a movement. Seen in activities like Jump Rope and Dribbling.
- Reaction Time: The ability to produce quick responses to external stimuli. Measured through activities like Tossing the Ball against the Wall, Boxing and Martial Arts.
- Speed: The ability to execute movements quickly. We see speed in activities like Running on a treadmill or Basketball.
FITT Principles
- The FITT principles for training are:
- Frequency: How often you exercise.
- Intensity: How hard you exercise.
- Type: What type of exercise you do.
- Time: The duration of your exercise session.
Phases of Exercise
- There are three phases to an exercise session:
- Warm-Up: Preparing your body for exercise.
- Conditioning: Performing the main exercise.
- Cool Down: Bringing the body back to resting state.
Types of Stretching
- There are two types of stretching:
- Dynamic Stretching: Stretching in motion with movements from one place to another.
- Static Stretching: Stretching with stationary movement.
Principles of Exercise
- The following principles should be applied to training:
- Individuality: Everyone has different needs, so training should be tailored to the individual.
- Specificity: Focus on training the specific muscle group or skill you want to improve.
- Progression: Gradually increase the intensity and difficulty of your workouts over time.
- Overload: Challenge yourself by exceeding your current fitness level.
- Adaptation: Your body will adapt to the demands of your training, so it's important to keep changing your routine.
