physical activity - Answer - any body movement that works your muscles, uses more
energy than when resting, and enhances health
- vary by intensity
exercise - Answer - defined as planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement
done to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness
- ie cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength or endurance, or flexibilty
if the number of adults meeting the 2008 physical activity guidelines increased by 25%,
there would be __ million fewer deaths per year and life expectancy would __ - Answer
1.3 million
increase
in the US, physical inactivity is responsible for __% of cases of coronary heart disease -
Answer 6.7%
in the US, physical inactivity is responsible for 8.3% of type 2 diabetes - Answer true
in the US, physical inactivity is responsible for __% cases of breast cancer - Answer
12.4%
in the US, physical inactivity is responsible for __% cases of colon cancer - Answer
12.0%
in the US, physical inactivity is responsible for __% of deaths - Answer 10.8%
physical fitness - Answer - a set of health- and performance- related attributes
health related attributes - Answer - cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and
endurance, flexibility, and body composition
- allow one to perform moderate/ vigorous intensity physical activities on a regular basis
cardiorespiratory fitness - Answer - the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to
supply the body with oxygen efficiently
aerobic exercise - Answer - primary category to improve cardiorespiratory fitness
- any exercise that requires oxygen to make energy for prolonged activity
aerobic capacity (power) - Answer - measures cardiorespiratory fitness
- volume of oxygen the muscles consume during exercise
maximal aerobic power - Answer - the maximal volume of oxygen that the muscles
,consume during exercise
how to measure maximal aerobic capacity - Answer - best accuracy is done in a lab
- measures precise amount of oxygen entering and exiting the body suring teh exercise
session
muscular strength - Answer - the amount of force a muscle or group of muscles is
capable of exerting in one contraction
muscular endurance - Answer - the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert force
repeatedly without fatigue or the ability to sustain a muscular contraction
flexibility - Answer - refers to the range of motion, or the amount of movement possible
at a particular joint or series of joints
- a greater range of motion means a greater flexiblity
body composition - Answer - the fifth component of a comprehensive fitness program
-the relative proportions and distribution of fat and lean tissues in the body
five components of a comprehensive fitness program - Answer - cardiorespiratory
fitness
- muscular strength
- muscular endurance
- flexiblity
- body composition
