⩥ C.1.1 Distinguish between the terms physical activity, exercise, sport
and physical fitness. Answer: PHYSICAL *ACTIVITY*: any bodily
movement produced by contraction of skeletal muscle that increases
energy expenditure
PHYSICAL *FITNESS*: individual's physical ability to perform a
specific activity
EXERCISE: is a subcategory of leisure-time physical activity in which
planned, structured and repetitive bodily movements are performed to
improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness
Sports = skill
Physical = everyday life
,⩥ Types of PHYSICAL FITNESS:. Answer: HEALTH RELATED
COMPONENTS:
-Cardiovascular fitness
-muscular strength
-muscular endurance
-flexibility
-body composition
SKILL-RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS:
- Agility
- Balance
- Coordination
- Speed
-Power
-Reaction Time
⩥ Define hypokinetic disease (be sure to be able to give examples!).
Answer: A disease caused by physical *in*activity
types of hypokinetic diseases:
-> Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
-> obesity
, ->Type 2 diabetes
->Osteoporosis
-> Mental ill-health
-> some types of cancer
⩥ C.1.3 Outline the following hypokinetic diseases: coronary heart
disease, stroke, hypertension, obesity, type 2, diabetes and osteoporosis.
Answer: CHD: when coronary arteries are clogged with plaque caused
by Atherosclerosis
Stroke: when blood clot forms in blood vessels in brain (cuts off oxygen
to area)
Obesity: excess body fat that endangers health, can be calculated using
BMI or measuring weight circumference
Type 2 Diabetes: caused by poor diet and physical inactivity; insulin
resistant; treat by exercising and changing diet
Osteoporosis: when Bone Mass Density is low, cause fragile bones with
large holes, more common in old women (post menopause)
⩥ C.1.4 Discuss how studies of different populations provide evidence
of the link between physical activity and hypokinetic disease. Answer:
