Study Notes

Six components enhance ability to engage in sports: agility, balance, power, reaction time, coordination, and speed.
Higher skill-related fitness levels correlate with increased physical activity.

Agility

Ability to swiftly change body position and maintain control.
Crucial in sports requiring rapid direction changes.

Balance

Ability to maintain upright posture during movement or stillness.
Vital for activities such as skating, surfing, skiing, and gymnastics.

Power

Capability to exert strength quickly, combining both strength and speed.
Found in athletes like football players, swimmers, and track athletes.

Reaction Time

Time taken to initiate movement following sensory signals.
Essential for quick starts in running, swimming, and martial arts.

Coordination

Integration of eye, hand, and foot movements.
Important for success in sports like baseball, tennis, and basketball.

Speed

Ability to cover a distance rapidly.
Evaluated using short runs; vital for many sports.

Exercise Principles

A sound exercise program addresses individual weaknesses and job demands.
Different professions require tailored fitness approaches (e.g., firefighters vs. dancers).

Strength Training

Incorporates weights, resistance, and bodyweight exercises.
Important to account for rest days to allow muscle recovery.

Intensity in Training

Defined by the difficulty of an exercise.
Measured through weight lifted, repetitions completed, and sets performed.
Cardio intensity is measured using heart rate in beats per minute (bpm).

Time and Duration

Recommended minimum is 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise weekly.
Cardio workouts last at least 30 minutes; resistance workouts typically last 45 to 60 minutes.

Type of Exercise

Cardio includes activities like running, swimming, walking, and cycling.
Strength training involves exercises that build muscle strength, such as weightlifting and bodyweight exercises.

Individuality

Acknowledges that fitness responses vary among individuals.
Personal lifestyle influences training outcomes and recovery ability.

Reversibility

Highlights the concept that fitness gains can decline without consistent training.
Overtraining can lead to injuries; adequate rest is necessary for recovery and performance improvement.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI measures weight relative to height and is calculated as weight divided by height squared.

Nutrition

Proper nutrition supports recovery, immune function, and maintenance of body weight.
Macronutrients (water, protein, carbohydrates, fats) needed in large amounts; micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) in small amounts.
Balanced diet is essential for optimal physical and mental performance.

Stress Response

Stress is a bodily and mental reaction to challenging situations.
Distress (negative stress) adversely affects performance, while eustress (positive stress) promotes growth.

Signs of Stress

Physical: muscle tension, headaches, sweating, heart pounding.
Emotional: irritability, impatience, concentration difficulties.
Behavioral: appetite changes, restlessness, substance abuse.
Psychological: constant irritability, indecisiveness, social withdrawal.

General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)

Three stages in response to stress:
- Alarm stage: the body identifies stress and prepares to respond (fight or flight).
- Resistance stage: the body attempts to adapt and return to normal.
- Exhaustion stage: prolonged stress leads to health risks like high blood pressure and heart issues.
