Health Chapter Six
What is the foundation of health-related fitness? (Page 127) - ANS-Cardiorespiratory Fitness-
the ability of your heart and lungs to effectively produce oxygen to your muscles during
prolonged physical activity.
Define muscular endurance, muscular strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (Page 127) -
ANS-a. Muscular Endurance- The capacity of your muscles to repeatedly exert force or to
maintain force, over a period of time without tiring.
b. Muscular strength- The maximum force your muscles can apply your muscles can apply in a
single maximum effort of lifting, pushing, or pressing.
c. Cardiorespiratory fitness- the ability of your heart and lungs to effectively produce oxygen to
your muscles during prolonged physical activity.
What is the primary difference between static and dynamic muscular endurance? (Page 128) -
ANS-a. Static muscular endurance is how long you can hold a force that is motionless
(planking)
b. Dynamic muscular endurance is how long you can sustain a force in motion (chest presses)
Define flexibility and list some health benefits of good flexibility? (Page 128) - ANS-a. Flexibility
is the ability of your joints to move through their full ranges of motion, such as how far you can
rotate your neck from side to side or how far you can bend forward from the hips to touch your
toes.
b. Health benefits of flexibility include relieves muscle tension, reduces joint and back pain, and
improves posture.
What are some benefits of being physically active and exercising? (Page 129) - ANS-Stronger
heart and lungs, Better mood
Manage stress
Benefits psychological health
Reduces risk of type 2 diabetes and bone, muscle, ad joint injuries
Promotes healthful body composition and weight management
Reduces risk of corectal, breast and ovarian cancer
Strengthens immune system and bones
Reduces risk of high blood pressure.
Exercise can prevent type 2 diabetes by increasing the body's ability to control - ANS-your blood
glucose level and blood pressure, help you lose weight and maintain weight loss, and improve
your body's ability to use insulin (Page 130)
Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of which cancers? (Page 130) -
ANS-Reduces the risk of colorectal cancer in men and women and breast (50%) and ovarian
cancer in women.
