activities without getting out of breath, sore, or overly tired
chronic disease - CORRECT ANSWER a disease that develops gradually and continues
over a long period of time

Sedentary lifestyle has been linked to - CORRECT ANSWER developing many illnesses,
such as chronic diseases.
Examples of chronic diseases related to lifestyle include - CORRECT
ANSWER cardiovascular (heart) disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and
certain forms of cancer.
Physical Benefits of an active lifestyles - CORRECT ANSWER heart and lungs get
stronger
blood cholesterol levels are kept within a healthy range
blood vessels are kept strong and healthy
build muscular strength and endurance
keeps joints more flexible
helps maintain good ratio of muscle mass to fat mass
,increases metablic rate
burns more calories due to increased muscle mass
exercise can even help depression (relieve stress and release endorphins)
Mental benefits - CORRECT ANSWER regular exercise can help relieve stress and
depression; endorphins (chemicals) are released during exercise which helps improve depression
and mental outlook
Five Components of Health-Related Fitness - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Muscular strength
- the amount of force a muscle can apply in a given contraction. Lifting weights is an example of
exercise that can cause the muscle to grow in response to the extra work and increase muscle
strength.
2. Muscular endurance - ability of muscles to keep working over a period of time.
3. Cardiorespiratory endurance - ability of heart, blood vessels, lungs, and blood to deliver
oxygen and nutrients to all of the body's cells while being physically active. As your
cardiorespiratory endurance improves, your heart beats stronger and slower. (It does not have to
beat as fast since it can now pump more blood out with each beat.)
Cardiorespiratory endurance is the most important component of health-related fitness. Aerobic
exercise is the type of exercise that will improve cardiorespiratory endurance.
Resting heart rate (RHR) - the number of times the heart beats per minute while at rest, and
recovery time - amount of time it takes for the heart to return to RHR after strenuous activity, are
good indicators of one's level of cardiorespiratory endurance. The quicker you recover and the
lower your RHR, the better your cardiorespiratory endurance is.
4. Flexibility - ability of joints to move through their full range of motion. Good flexibility keeps
joint movements smooth and efficient. Lack of use can cause joints to become stiffer as you get
older.
Any activity that involves a joint moving through a full range of motion will help maintain
flexibility.
5. Body Composition - the ratio of lean body tissue (muscle and bone) to body fat tissue. A
healthy body has a high proportion of lean body tissue compared to body fat tissue. Too much
, body fat increases of developing certain lifestyle diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular
disease.
Regular exercise and good eating habits are the best ways to develop fa
aerobic vs anaerobic - CORRECT ANSWER Weight training is considered to be an
anaerobic activity. During anaerobic activity, muscle cells produce energy without using oxygen.
Anaerobic activity is intense and short in duration.
Skill-related fitness describes 6 components of fitness that are important for good athletic
performance. The 6 components are: - CORRECT ANSWER coordination, balance,
agility, power, speed, and reaction time.
Participating in sports is a good way to promote - CORRECT ANSWER physical fitness,
develop motivation, leadership, and cooperation skills, and be enjoyable.
Physical activity should continue - CORRECT ANSWER as a lifelong habit to reduce risk
of health problems. Frequent strength training and a healthy diet may help prevent osteoporosis
(bone thinning disease), maintain bone density, muscle tone, strength, endurance, and flexibility
and affect your overall health for the rest of your life.
Exercise is part of treatment plans for - CORRECT ANSWER diabetes, asthma, mental
and physical disabilities.
People who experience exercise induced asthma often do not want to take part in physical
activity, but exercise is part of the treatment plan for people with asthma. Gaining fitness helps
decrease the severity of asthma symptoms.
Exercise is also very important for people who have diabetes as it helps to control blood sugar
levels and weight problems associated with diabetes.
