Classifications of Exercises
- Aerobic Fitness: Activities that elevate heart rate and breathing (e.g., brisk walking, jogging, swimming) strengthen heart and lungs, enhancing cardiovascular health.
Heart Rate Measurement Techniques
- Apical Site: Heart rate measured at the apex of the heart, felt by placing the hand over the left chest.
- Carotid Pulse Site: Located at the carotid artery next to the larynx; use light pressure, and check one side at a time.
- Radial Pulse Site: Found at the wrist, aligning with the thumb; measured with pointer and middle fingers.
- Temporal Pulse Site: Obtained from the temple area using light pressure.
Muscular Strength and Endurance
- Muscular Strength: The capacity to exert force during activities (e.g., lifting weights).
- Muscular Endurance: The ability to perform repeated muscle contractions over time.
- Resistance Training: Involves working against resistance (body weight, bands, weights) to enhance strength and endurance.
Types of Strength Exercises
