Why should you choose to engage in activities that you enjoy? - More likely to stay with
an activity if it's something you enjoy/think is fun & convenient
What are some ways to stay motivated to stick to your exercise plan? - 1. Have other
people exercise with you, or join a class / club / group.
2. Choose to participate in more than one activity because doing the same thing can become
monotonous
3. Ease into the program and build up
4. Consider availability of facilities and the cost- Some people feel they will attend more
regularly if they joined a club / hired a personal trainer.
5. Exercise at the same time each day- This helps to form a schedule and form a routine.
6. Set realistic goals that you can approach so that you are not discouraged
7. If you do not feel like working out, make yourself have a very short, light workout as it will get
you ready and warmed up.
8. Share your goals with those who are close or those who are likely to ask you about your
progress, and ask for their support.
9. Write your goals on paper and post them where they are in view for you to see everyday.
Name the five health related components of fitness, define them, and give two examples -
1. BODY COMPOSITION: Refers to the proportion of body fat to lean body tissue
-% Fat vs. Total Body Weight
, -TOTAL BODY WEIGHT: Bone, muscle, fat
-FAT WEIGHT: % of wt. contributed to fat tissue
-MALE VS. FEMALE: % Fat recommendation
2. FLEXIBILITY: Extent and range of motion around a joint and can help to prevent injury.
3. STRENGTH & ENDURANCE: The amount of force exerted by a group of muscles(strength) and
the ability to maintain a contraction over a period of time(endurance)
4. CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS: The body's ability to consume and process O2, which can be
improved with aerobic activities
Static Strength - The force that can be held in one place (force)
Static Strength = Force
EX: Isometrics (A type of strength training where the joint angle and muscle length do not
change during contraction)
EX: Wall sit
Strength - The weight that can be moved through a distance (work), or the ability of
muscle to generate force against a resistance
Strength = Force x Distance
EX: Competitive powerlifting
Power - The product of a force and the speed. Power can be expressed by the work
achieved in a unit time. Power is a combination of strength and speed.
Power = Force x Distance / Time
EX: Olympic style weightlifting (Strength dominated power), shot put
Speed - The distance traveled per unit time without regard to direction.
Speed = Distance / Time
EX: Sprinting
Velocity - The speed and direction of an entity
Velocity = Speed and direction
Specificity - Specific activities elicit specific adaptations created specific training effects
