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.
Skill-Related Fitness Components
- 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.
Health-Related Fitness (HRF)
- 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)
