Study Notes

Wellness and Behavior Change

  • Nine components of wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, financial, occupational, cultural
  • Transtheoretical Model of Change (stages of behavior change): precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, termination
  • SMART goals framework: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound

Components of Fitness

  • Health-related fitness components: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition
  • Skill-related fitness components: agility, speed, power, coordination, reaction time, balance
  • FITT principle: frequency, intensity, time, type

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

  • Cardiorespiratory endurance: efficiency of heart and lungs during exercise
  • FITT guidelines for cardiorespiratory endurance: 3-5 days/week, 60-85% maximum heart rate, 20-60 minutes per session, continuous, rhythmic activities
  • Aerobic vs. anaerobic cardio: aerobic (oxygen, moderate intensity), anaerobic (high intensity, oxygen demand exceeds supply)
  • Maximum heart rate (MHR): 220 - age
  • Target heart rate (THR): optimal range for exercise intensity (usually 50–85% of MHR)
  • Resting heart rate (RHR): heartbeats/minute at rest; lower RHR indicates better cardiovascular fitness
  • Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE): subjective scale (6–20) for exercise intensity

Muscular Strength & Endurance

  • Muscular strength vs. muscular endurance: strength (maximal force, single effort), endurance (sustained contractions, extended period)
  • Types of muscles: skeletal (voluntary), cardiac (heart, involuntary), smooth (organs, blood vessels)
  • FITT guidelines for muscular strength/endurance: 2-3 days/week (strength), intensity varies (heavy/low vs. light/high reps), time dependent on training (sets, reps), training methods (resistance, bodyweight, free weights, machines)

Flexibility

  • Flexibility and FITT guidelines: at least 2-3 days/week, stretch to mild discomfort, hold stretches 15-60 seconds (2-4 sets per stretch), static or dynamic stretching
  • Static vs. Dynamic flexibility: static (holding a position), dynamic (movement-based, warm-up)
  • Elasticity vs. plasticity: elasticity (returns to original form), plasticity (adaptation and change in length)

Body Composition

  • Body composition: proportion of fat and non-fat mass (critical for overall health)
  • BMI classifications: underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), obese (≥30)
  • Body composition measurement methods: skinfold calipers, bioelectrical impedance, DEXA, hydrostatic weighing
  • Waist circumference: above 40 inches (men) or 35 inches (women) indicates higher health risk
  • Essential and non-essential fat: essential (necessary), non-essential (storage)
  • Healthy body fat percentage: men (10–20%), women (20–30%)
