Benefits of Exercise - ANSWER increased longevity, strengthens bones, improves mood,
fights depression, reduces stress, daily functions, better sleep, increased flexibility, reduces risk
of CVD, reduces risk of cancer, reduces aches/pains, reduces risk of injury, weight control,
improved balance, improved reaction time, improved self image
Components of Physical Fitness - ANSWER Body composition
flexibility
Aerobic Endurance
Muscular Endurance
Muscular Strength
Body composition - ANSWER scale weight: 2-4 pound daily fluctuations are normal
Body Mass Index: BMI (Wt/ht squared)
Body Fat: Hydrostatic weighing(uww), skin calipers, bioelectrical impedance (BIA), Goal-<20men
<25women
Flexibility - ANSWER Static
PNF
Ballistic
Static - ANSWER slowly move to point of mild discomfort
, PNF - ANSWER joint is moved to point of mild discomfort
6s is maximal voluntary isometric contraction
joint is further stretched to mild discomfort
new position is maintained for 10-30s
Ballistic - ANSWER bouncing or jerking
does not work
may cause injury
Proprioceptors - ANSWER musculotendinous
labryinthine
Aerobic endurance - ANSWER Cardio-respiratory vs cardiovascular
HR tells us level of fitness and intensity of exercise
THR is determined lower for first 4-6 weeks
upper limit is intermediate and advanced
Karvonen Formula - ANSWER 220-age= Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
MHR-Resting Heart Rate(RHR)=Heart Rate ReserveHRR
HRR*.6=A desired intensities
HRR*.85=B
A+RHR=Lower THRZ
B+RHR=Upper THRZ Target heart rate zones
Cardiorespiratory Physiology - ANSWER Heart Rate HR
