Components of Fitness • Cardio-Respiratory Endurance: ability of the heart and lungs to work for a long period of time (at least 20 minutes straight) • Examples: running, bicycling, swimming, elliptical machine, most fitness classes
Components of Fitness • Muscular Strength: amount of force a muscle can exert • Examples: maxing out, bench press, leg press, dead lift • Muscular Endurance: how long a muscle can work • Examples: maximum reps (little to no weight) squats, lunges, sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups
Components of Fitness • Flexibility: how much a joint can move in its ROM • Examples: pilates, yoga, any stretching activity • Body Composition: ratio of lean tissue to fat • Ways to test: BMI, Underwater weighing, skin calipers
FITT Principle • Should be applied in any workout regime • F: frequency- how often, days of week • I: intensity- how hard, level of work • T: type- what kind of activity is it • T: time- how long, minutes/hours
Principles of exercise • Overload- working a muscle group harder than normal to improve performance • Set- # of reps followed by rest • Repetitions- # of times an exercise is done • Skill related fitness- performing fitness activities to improve athletic performance • Working heart rate- average heart beats per minute during physical activity • Resting heart rate- # of heart beats per minute at rest • Overtraining- training too much, too intense, too quick
Benefits of PA • Physical: lower heart rate, more energy, lower blood pressure, weight loss, better sleep • Mental: better mood, stress relief, more alert, able to focus • Social: workout buddy, new friends, more confidence
