Study Notes
Skill-Related Physical Fitness
- 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.
