    Study Notes

    Wellness

    • Wellness is a balance of health-related elements in one's life, encompassing physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, spiritual, and occupational well-being.
    • Wellness involves a constant and deliberate effort to maintain health, avoiding risk factors, and achieving one's full potential.
    • Wellness lifestyles lead to positive outcomes across all seven dimensions of wellness.

    Fitness

    • Fitness focuses on physical fitness and health, enabling individuals to perform specific physical tasks effectively.
    • Fitness aims to develop the physical dimension, including physical appearance and aesthetics.
    • This involves effort and sacrifice to achieve physical goals.

    Wellness vs. Fitness

    • Wellness aims at improving quality of life while fitness focuses on physical development.
    • Wellness encompasses physical, emotional, and social well-being, whereas fitness primarily targets physical conditioning.
    • Wellness emphasizes balance and harmony, while fitness prioritizes pushing limits.
    • Wellness activities include yoga, tai chi, pilates, dance, and walking; fitness activities include HIT, TRX, Body Pump, CrossFit, and spinning.

    Healthy Behaviors

    • Healthy lifestyles encompass a range of habits and practices, including physical activity, nutrition, personal hygiene, sleep, road and environmental safety, sexuality, and social participation.
    • Healthy habits, acquired during university, form a foundation for adulthood.

    Physical Activity

    • Adults (18-64) should aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic physical activity, plus strength training two or more days per week to maintain health.
    • This contributes to reducing fatigue, improving sleep, academic performance, and cognitive function, and preventing health problems.

    Nutrition

    • Adherence to a Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, along with moderate intake of legumes, fish, and white meat, is recommended.
    • Avoiding excessive consumption of red meat, processed foods, and sugary drinks is crucial.
    • Healthy consumption patterns are beneficial for cardiovascular risk prevention.

    Sleep

    • Sleep is essential for neurological restoration and optimal functioning.
    • Quality sleep includes aspects such as sleep induction, wake-up time, total duration, and overall quality.
    • Sleep disturbances can exacerbate stress levels and negatively impact academic performance and mood.

    Progressive Overload

    • Progressive overload involves progressively increasing training demands to enhance physical aptitude.
    • It's crucial to be mindful of frequency, intensity, time, and type of training to avoid negative impacts.
    • It's important to progress gradually to avoid injuries and maximize benefits.

    Specificity

    • Training should be tailored to specific qualities and the needs of the sport or activity.
    • Different sports demand specific adaptations and abilities for optimal performance.
    • Example: martial arts prioritize strength, velocity, and flexibility.

    Continuity

    • Consistent training, proper nutrition, hydration, and rest promote continued progress and adaptation.
    • These elements prevent interruptions and ensure sustained fitness goals.

    Reversibility

    • Training adaptations and benefits can be reversed if training intensity and duration decreases.
    • Consistent training is vital for maintaining physical qualities over time.

    Supercompensation

    • Supercompensation follows periods of physical stress (training) and allows recovery before resuming training, leading to improved performance.
    • This adaptation is essential for optimal progression and avoiding overtraining.

    Individual Differences

    • Every individual responds differently to training.
    • Initial conditions, innate characteristics and responses need to be considered, tailored towards specific individual needs, and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.

    Cardiorespiratory Fitness

    • Neural, humoral, and hydrodynamic mechanisms interplay to regulate various physiological responses during exercise.
    • Cardiovascular adaptations (heart rate, blood pressure, venous return) occur in response to training.

    Respiratory Fitness

    • The relationship between ventilation and perfusion (VE/Q) is crucial, with a need for linear increase of both parameters with respect to exercise intensity.
    • Ventilatory threshold marks the transition from aerobic to anaerobic energy metabolism.

    Muscular Fitness

    • Muscular strength and endurance are essential for various physical activities.
    • Muscular power is a crucial aspect that determines performance in several sports or activities.

    Flexibility

    • Flexibility is a prerequisite element for movement, it is a conditionable quality.
    • This quality is directly linked to the range of motion.

    Body Composition

    • Human body composition comprises water, fat, protein, and minerals.
    • Body composition analysis methods include BMI, anthropometry, DXA, and BIA.
    • Maintaining healthy body composition is significant for overall health, contributing to physical health.

    Nutrition for Body Composition

    • A varied and balanced diet providing appropriate proportions of macro-nutrients is crucial.
    • Different sports have specific nutritional needs, adapting the diet to specific sporting requirements.

    Weight Management

    • Weight management is a continuous and committed process, with various diets such as low-fat, low-carb, or high-protein diets.
    • Weight loss can improve health-related indicators and metabolic biomarkers; focus should be on body composition rather than weight alone.

    Stress and Disease

    • Stress impacts physiological systems and can be linked to disease development, impacting coping strategies, and affecting disease progression/mortality rates.

    Substance Use and Abuse

    • Substance use, like protein and creatine, can potentially improve some aspects of physical performance.
    • However, substance abuse, especially anabolic steroids and erythropoietin, can lead to serious and detrimental health outcomes, including cardiovascular issues and even death.
