Study Notes
Physical Activity
- Defined as all movements involving skeletal muscles that consume energy.
- Increased physical activity leads to higher energy expenditure.
- Exercise is structured physical activity aimed at improving fitness components: cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular endurance/strength, body composition, and flexibility.
- Sport combines physical training with competitive goals, necessitating higher nutritional needs based on training duration, frequency, and intensity.
METs and FITT
- MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) measures energy metabolism above resting levels:
- Low activity: score of 3-4 (e.g., household chores).
- Moderate activity: score of 6-8 (suitable for initial training).
- Vigorous activity: score of >10 (e.g., sprints, competitive sports).
- FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) guides exercise planning:
- Frequency: how often exercises are performed.
- Intensity: how hard exercises are performed.
- Time: duration of exercise sessions.
- Type: category of exercises being done.
FITT Concept
- Cardiorespiratory fitness:
- Frequency: 3-5 times per week, beginners start at 3 times.
- Intensity: tailored to the individual; measures using maximum heart rate (MHR) and MET.
- Time: 20-60 minutes depending on intensity, with sessions lasting at least 10 minutes.
- Type: involves aerobic and endurance exercises.
- Muscular Strength & Endurance:
- Frequency: beginners 2-3 days/week focusing on full body; advanced 4-5 days/week.
- Intensity: based on one maximum repetition (MR), beginners work at 50-70% MR.
- Time: duration varies from 1-3 sets of 8-20 reps depending on fitness levels.
- Type: includes weight machines, free weights, resistance bands, body weight exercises.
- Body Composition and Flexibility:
- Body Composition: daily frequency, low intensity, includes walking and cycling.
- Flexibility: daily stretching, holding stretches for 10-15 seconds, using various stretching types.
Nutritional Scope
- Sports nutrition links food management with physical performance, fostering health and fitness.
- Improved nutrition quality enhances physical capability and operational efficiency in athletes.
- Nutritional sciences combined with other disciplines support athletic performance.
Nutrition, Sports, & Health
- Rising prevalence of degenerative diseases is associated with decreased adult physical activity.
- Low physical activity correlates with health deficits and increased health risks.
- Public health campaigns for physical activity often fall short of effectively meeting recommended guidelines.
- Imbalance in calorie intake and physical activity can lead to increased body mass index and heightened risk of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
