Physical Education Fitness Study Guide

Physical Education Fitness Study Guide components of health related fitness - flexibility, body composition, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance components of skill related fitness - agility, balance, coordination, speed, reaction time, and power body composition - the combination of fat mass and fat-free mass, including fat, bones, muscles, organs, and water cardiorespiratory endurance - the ability of the heart, blood, blood vessels and lungs to supply oxygen to the muscles during long periods of physical activity. flexibility - the muscles ability to move a joint through a full range of motion muscular endurance - the ability of the muscles to repeat a movement many times or hold a position without stopping to rest muscular strength - the ability of a muscle or muscles to push or pull with its total force static stretches - involves stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort for an extended period of time dynamic stretches - involves moving parts of the body continuously while gradually increasing reach, speed of movement or both gently though a full range of motion resistance training - an activity that places an additional force against the muscle or muscle group FITT principles - frequency, intensity, time, and type intensity - training load expressed as weight, speed, or heart rate overload - an increase in one or more of the FITT variables to provide an additional workload progression - gradual increase in one or more of the FITT variables to create an overload specificity - exercise training is specific to the muscles used and the component of fitness trained time - minutes or repetitions type - activity performed SMART goal setting strategy - specific, measurable, aggressive, realistic, and time bound Specific goal - straight forward and details focus efforts and clearly define with is to be accomplished Measurable goal - must be able to answer the questions, "how much?" and "how many" Aggressive goal - requires effort to achieve beyond what has been achieved before Realistic goal - achievable, reachable, and relevant Time bound goal - achieved in a given time period goal - a result towards which effort is made for maintenance or improvement goal setting - a plan for improvement long term goal - a result that can be achieved in 2 months or more
