  1. PE Theory Exercise and Fitness As part of your healthy, active lifestyle.

  2. STARTER • With a partner, verbally define the terms HEALTH, FITNESS and EXERCISE.

  3. HEALTH • Health is defined as a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being; not merely the absence of illness or infirmity

  4. FITNESS • Fitness is the ability to meet the demands of the environment.

  5. EXERCISE • activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness.

  6. Task 1 • Write as many different words or phrases relating to skill and health as you can think of. The key words must have a focus on being needed to participate effectively in a sporting scenario e.g. flexibility. • Go around the classroom as a group, adding to others sheets if you have key words they haven’t thought of.

  7. Task 2 • Rearrange the cards in order of most to least important, when competing in a sporting context.

  8. Task 3 • Out of these nine key words, six of them are our sport related components of fitness. • In pairs, have a go at defining the following words: • Power • Co-ordination • Reaction Time • Agility • Balance • Speed

  9. Skill Related Components of Fitness Sportspeople exercise to improve fitness and performance. Skill related fitness factors are essential for success in sport.

  10. Agility - the ability to change the position of the body quickly and with control. This helps team players dodge their opponents.

  11. Balance - the ability to retain the centre of mass above the base of support when stationary (static balance) or moving (dynamic balance). This helps gymnasts maintain their position and prevents games players from falling over at speed.

  12. Co-ordination - the ability to use two or more body parts together. This helps all athletes to move smoothly and quickly especially when also having to control a ball.

  13. Power - the ability to use strength at speed. This helps athletes to jump high, throw far or sprint quickly. Power = Strength x Speed.

  14. Reaction time - the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement. This helps swimmers to make a fast start.

  15. Speed is the differential rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time or how quickly an individual can move. This helps all games players to move into position or get away from opponents quickly.

  16. Task 4 • Using the resource sheet provided, in NO MORE THAN 4 PICTURES draw images to help you remember the definition word for word. • You are not allowed to use words but you can use numbers.

  17. Everyone needs to have a level of fitness for everyday activities. Health related exercise improves the health related fitness factors which are also useful to sportspeople. These are:

  18. Cardiovascular fitness is the ability to exercise the whole body for long periods of time and is sometimes called stamina

  19. Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance. It helps sportspeople to hit, tackle and throw.

  20. Muscular endurance is the ability to use voluntary muscles many times without becoming tired. It helps sportspeople to sprint or repeat quick actions for longer.

  21. Flexibility is the range of movement possible at a joint. It helps performers to stretch and reach further

  22. Body composition is the percentage of body weight which is fat, muscle or bone. It helps sportspeople depending on the type of sport they play, eg heavy rugby players are more effective in the scrum than lightweight players, but light long distance runners will always beat heavyweights.

  23. Any ideas of how we could test these factors?
