What are the primary components of fitness? - 1. Cardio-respiratory Endurance 2. Muscular Strength 3. Muscular Endurance 4. Flexibility 5. Body Composition Defined as the capacity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to deliver oxygen - Cardio-Respiratory Endurance Defined as the maximum force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle group against resistance - Muscular Strength Defined as the capacity of a muscle to exert force repeatedly or to hold a fixed or static contraction over time - Muscular Endurance Flexibility - Defined as the ability of limbs to move at the joints through a complete range of motion Defined as the body's related percentage of fat as compared to lean tissue - Body Composition What are the Skill-Related Components of Fitness - 1. Balance 2. Coordination 3. Speed 4. Power 5. Agility 6. Reaction Time The maintenance of equilibrium while stationary - Balance The integration of many separate motor skills or movements into one efficient movement pattern - Coordination The rate at which a movement or activity can be performed - Speed A function of strength and speed; the ability to transfer energy into force at a quick rate - Power The ability to rapidly and fluently change body positioning during movement - Agility The amount of time elapsed between stimulation and acting on the stimulus - Reaction Time Bouncing, tugging, or overstretching the muscle - Ballistic Stretching Involves stretching to the point of mild discomfort and holding the elongated position (15-60 seconds) - Static Stretching What are the ACSM guidelines for exercise? - 1. Moderate-intensity exercise performed for at least 30 minutes on five or more days each week to accumulate a weekly total of at least 150 minutes 2. Vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise done for at least 20-25 minutes on three or more days each week to accumulate a weekly total of 75 minutes 3. At least 20 to 30 minutes combined of moderate and vigorous intensity exercise on three to five days per week What are the theories why aquatic heart rates may be lower than heart rates achieved during comparable land exercise - 1. Temperature 2. Gravity 3. Compression 4. Partial Pressure 5. Dive Reflex 6. Reduced Body Mass Resembles a bell curve. After warming up, a relatively constant level of training is maintained in the target training zone for a prescribed length of time. (Most Common) - Continuous Training Consists of harder bouts of exercise interspersed with easier bouts; these are called work and recovery cycles and the goal is to maintain easy and hard intervals - Interval Training Usually done in a station format with equipment. Designed to elicit a cardio-respiratory response, and some are designed to alternate aerobic work with muscular endurance training - Circuit Training Name the 11 systems of the human body - 1. Integumentary 2. Skeletal 3. Muscular 4. Nervous 5. Endocrine 6. Cardiovascular 7. Lymphatic 8. Respiratory 9. Digestive 10. Urinary
