Study Notes

Respiration

The process of breathing involves inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
Cells use oxygen to break down sugar (glucose) and obtain energy.
Muscles break down glucose to obtain energy, a process that requires oxygen.
The breakdown of glucose produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
The lungs exhale carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Exercise and Fitness

Exercise refers to physical activities performed for fitness and overall health.
Fitness encompasses a healthy mind and body, allowing individuals to adapt and cope holistically.
The FITT principle stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
This principle helps design exercise programs tailored to individual needs and abilities.

Factors for Exercise Programs

Personal goals are essential for exercise programs; examples include weight loss, endurance gain, or strength increase.
The SMART criteria, an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound, ensures effective goal accomplishment.
The FITT principle is used to achieve fitness goals while minimizing injury risk.
Frequency of exercise depends on the type and intensity.

Exercise Intensity Measurement

The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a scale that relates to heart rate, breathing, perspiration, and muscle movement.
The RPE scale ranges from 6 to 20 or 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating greater exertion.
Perceived exertion is the subjective feeling of how hard one thinks the body is working.
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the fastest heart rate achievable in one minute.
The MHR formula is MHR = 206.9 - (0.67 x age).
Exercise intensity can be categorized based on percentage of MHR, ranging from no exercise (57-67%) to high intensity (84-91%).

Health-related fitness improves overall body condition and well-being.
It enhances daily activities and prevents chronic diseases.
Components of health-related fitness include cardiovascular fitness, body composition, flexibility, muscular strength, and muscular endurance.

Skill-related fitness involves skills needed for game and sport performance.
It's crucial for success in any activity involving skills like agility, balance, coordination, power, speed, and reaction time.
