  1. IMPROVING HEALTH AND FITNESS Components of fitness- Starter- explain how skill and health related fitness differ.

  2. Skill and health related fitness • Skill related fitness components are neuromuscular and focus on our ability to perform skills • Whilst health related fitness describes the physiological components that help an individual cope with everyday life.

  3. Choose 2 different sports from the list below, then rate the 10 components of fitness needed • Gymnastics, diving, rugby, skiing, triathlon, boxing, triple jump, snooker. • 5- very important • 4- important • 3- needed • 2- not important • 1- not needed

  4. Activity survey – get out your homework! • For your survey use the information you have been given on page 17 to work out how many calories you used and your other subject used in a day. • Choose your rough body weight • 110lb- 8stone • 125lb- 9 stone • 150lb- 11 stone • 175lb- 13 stone • 200lb- 14 ½ stone • Given that your calorie input is approx 1940 for women and 2550 for men is your activity level healthy or unhealthy? • Would you put on or lose weight?

  5. Cardio respiratory fitness / aerobic capacity • Or stamina is the ability to sustain stressful physical exertion for a long period of time • Depends on- • Efficient breathing • Efficiency of blood taking up the O2 in the lungs • Efficiency of the CV system in transporting O2 throughout the body • Questions- what different test can be used? • What type of training will improve your aerobic capacity? • Place the following sports in order of expected VO2Max scores- rower, 200m swimmer, cross country skier. 400m runner, 10,000m runner

  6. Strength • The ability to overcome a resistance and can explosive, static or dynamic. • Explosive-(or POWER) rapid contraction of muscle fibres units to achieve maximum force- sporting eg? • Static - holding a body part in a stationary position when it is contracting eg? • Dynamic- the repeated contraction of the same muscle group eg? • Question- what test could you use? • What type of training would improve strength?

  7. Speed • The rate at which the body is moved from one place to another. • Speed can be your whole body or parts of your body- give examples of both • How might you test speed? • What is SAQ training? What does it involve?

  8. Muscular endurance • Is the repeated contraction and relaxation of a muscle group over a prolonged period of time. • This would involve the performer working at a medium to high intensity for approx 5-6 mins. • Eg? • How might you test your muscular endurance in your arms / stomach muscles?

  9. Flexibility • The range of movement possible at a joint. • Important for al sports as it prevents injuries and helps us perform skills more successfully. • The two types are static and dynamic- give examples of each. • How might you test flexibility? • How would you improve your flexibility?

  10. Agility • The ability to change direction at speed. • Seen as a combination of speed and coordination. • Give 3 sporting examples with reasons why it is important. • What is the test used? • How would you improve agility through training?

  11. Balance • Is maintaining the bodies equilibrium or maintaining your centre of mass over the base of support. • Give examples of static and dynamic balance. • How would you test balance?

  12. Coordination • A balanced and effective interaction of the movement or body actions. • Combines your motor skills and nervous system. • Give examples of sports when coordination is vital. • How would you build up a child’s co-ordination? • How could you tests this aspect of fitness?

  13. Reaction time • The time taken between a stimulus and response. • In what sports is RT very important? • It is affected by how quick an individual can process information and the speed of conduction of the impulse through the nerves. • It is possible to improve RT through practice. • How might you test RT?

  14. Components of fitness • Starter- • 5 min test- • Write the definitions for- • Cardio respiratory endurance • Strength • Speed • Muscular endurance • Flexibility • Power • Now check these and make corrections

  15. Effects on health - • For each of the HRF components use your book to write notes on how they affect your health. • Use your own examples to support your notes. • HOMEWORK • Complete your work on effects of health. • Complete the activity on page 7 questions 1,2 and 3
