Study Notes

Physical Fitness

  • Physical fitness is the body's ability to manage daily tasks while retaining energy for leisure activities.
  • It encompasses overall health and well-being, vital for sports, occupations, and everyday tasks.

Physical Activity and Exercise

  • Physical Activity includes all voluntary bodily movements that expend energy, categorized into occupational, transport-related, household, and recreational activities.
  • Common misconception: only sports and exercise count as physical activity; in fact, they are merely sectors of recreational physical activity.
  • Exercise is a structured program aimed at improving fitness levels.

Physical Activity vs. Exercise

  • Both physical activity and exercise contribute to well-being.
  • Being fit offers greater protection against health issues than merely being physically active.
  • Agility: Quick movement in various directions over short periods.
  • Speed: Lateral movement ability in brief times.
  • Balance: Sustaining position stability.
  • Coordination: Synchronization of mind and body during movements.
  • Power: The capability to exert force in daily tasks.
  • Reaction Time: Reflex response to stimuli.
  • HRF is a multidimensional concept comprising:
    • Cardiorespiratory endurance
    • Muscular strength
    • Muscular endurance
    • Flexibility
    • Body composition

Body Composition

  • Refers to the body’s structural makeup, including fat, muscle, and bone distribution.

Body Types

  • Ectomorph: Lean and slender with minimal muscle development.
  • Endomorph: Rounded body with potential fat accumulation.
  • Mesomorph: Muscular and husky build.

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

  • Defined as the ability to sustain full-body exercise over prolonged periods.

Flexibility

  • Ability to perform movements across a complete range of motion.

Muscular Strength and Endurance

  • Muscular Strength: Amount of force generated by a single muscle contraction.
  • Muscular Endurance: Ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions over time.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • BMI is a straightforward calculation using height and weight to classify weight groups.
  • BMI categories:
    • Underweight: Less than 18.5
    • Normal weight: 18.5 - 24.9
    • Overweight: 25 - 29.9
    • Obese: 30 or more
  • BMI formula:
    • BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m)²)
  • Example calculation: For 62 kg at 171 cm (1.71 m):
    • BMI = 62 kg / (1.71 m)² = 21.23 (Normal)
