Study Notes

Physical Fitness

A set of attributes for physical activities
Complex assortment of components (health-related, skill-related, and physiological) affecting physical activity
Components influence an individual's ability to function and stay physically active.

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

Capacity to sustain physical activity like exercise.
Depends on the cardiorespiratory system's ability to supply oxygen/blood to working muscles.

Musculoskeletal Fitness

Ability of muscles to consistently exert maximum force (strength) or persist (endurance) without fatigue
Related to overcoming resistance when doing physical activities.

Response and Adaptation to Exercise

Response:
- Short-term body changes during exercise (e.g., increased heart rate)
Adaptation:
- Long-term body changes from exercise (e.g., slower resting heart rate)

Training Principles

Govern how the body responds, adapts, and adjusts.
These principles are covered.

Overload Principle

A critical principle in fitness training
Involves gradually increasing the load to challenge the body and improve fitness.
Recovery is necessary; pushing too hard can cause injury or illness

Progress Principle

Mode: Choice of physical activity.
Frequency: Number of exercise sessions.
Intensity: Level of exertion.
Time: Duration of training session

Specificity Principle

Specific activities lead to specific development (e.g., aerobic activities improve cardiorespiration).
Participants need to engage in appropriate activities to achieve their desired results when it comes to fitness gains.

Reversibility, Use, and Disuse Principle

Maintaining fitness needs consistent exercise.
Without regular exercise, fitness gains can decline significantly in as little as two months, often losing up to 50%

Variety Principle

Training can become monotonous over time requiring variety to maintain interest and motivation.
Switching up activities can maintain engagement and prevent boredom.

Individual Differences Principle

People respond differently to exercise.
Differences in genetics, age, sex, body composition, and medical conditions affect training outcomes

Assessment in Fitness Training

Helps determine current fitness levels.
Helps identify improvement areas.
Provides a basis for goal setting.
Tools such as physical activity readiness questionnaires (PAR-Q) are useful for determining medical concerns prior to exercise.
The fitness assessment battery covers variety of performance tests to assess the health related components of fitness.

Gym Etiquette
