Study Notes
Fitness Definitions
- Fitness involves the ability to perform daily tasks with energy and without fatigue, facilitating leisure activities and unexpected situations.
- Health-related fitness includes attributes that enhance health, wellness, and quality of life, impacting physical performance.
Components of Health-related Fitness
- Cardiovascular Endurance: Ability to sustain prolonged physical activity with efficient circulatory and respiratory function, crucial for aerobic exercises.
- Muscular Strength: Measurement of the force generated by muscles, typically assessed by the amount of weight lifted; stronger muscles aid in performing work and reducing injury risk.
- Muscular Endurance: Capacity of muscles to perform repeatedly over time; improved endurance allows for increased repetition in physical activities.
- Muscular Flexibility: Range of motion in joints; increased flexibility results from proper exercises that stretch and lengthen muscles.
- Body Composition: Ratio of lean body weight to fat, including elements like fat mass, muscle mass, bone density, and water volume.
Components of Skill-related Fitness
- Speed: Rate of movement, relevant across various sports.
- Power: Ability to exert force rapidly; common among athletes like weightlifters.
- Agility: Ability to swiftly change direction, important in sports that require frequent directional changes.
- Balance: Maintenance of equilibrium while in motion or stationary, essential for activities like skating and gymnastics.
- Coordination: Integration of sensory input with body movements, critical for tasks requiring precise timing of hand-eye or foot-eye coordination.
- Reaction Time: Time taken to respond to a stimulus; vital for actions requiring quick responses, such as sprinting.
Exercise and Physical Activity
- Exercise: Planned, structured, and repetitive movements aimed at improving physical fitness components.
- Physical Activity: Any voluntary movement resulting in increased energy expenditure over resting levels.
Screening Tools
- Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q+): A self-guided tool revised to include follow-up questions for personalized pre-exercise recommendations. A "NO" answer to all questions indicates clearance for physical activity.
- International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ): Assesses type, intensity, and duration of physical activity and sitting time, estimating total activity in MET-min/week based on a 7-day recall.
Monitoring Exercise
- Various tools and methods are utilized to monitor exercise intensity, aiding adults in meeting their physical activity targets.
