TermDefinition
Body Composition All of the tissues that together make up the body. Fat free mass + Fat mass
Obesity An Excess Of Body Fat At Which Health Risks Begin To Increase.
Why Body Composition is important Having too much or too little fat can both lead to serious health risks A healthy level of body fat percentage is necessary to maintain good health
Obesity- Death Leading cause of preventable death It is directly related to nearly 300,000 deaths per year.
Effects of Obesity Heart has to work harder, May have high blood pressure, increased chance of stroke, diabetes, heart disease, Osteoarthritis
Under Fat When not enough body weight is composed of fat and can lead to serious health risks.
Amenorrhea Associated with women with less than 10% body fat Results in an absence of or infrequent menstruation.
Why is some fat needed? Absorption and use of vitamins, Insulation, Protection, Energy Source
How do we measure body composition? Skinfold calipers Hydrostatic Weighing Impedence machine (Tanita Scale)
Impedence Reflects the body’s inherent resistance to an electrical current. Muscle acts as a conductor of the electrical current Fat acts as a resistor.
Fat Free Mass All tissues that are free of fat including: Muscle Bone Water Blood Tendons Ligaments -Measured in pounds
Body Fat Measured by % Amount of tissue that is fat Can also be measured in pounds 3500 calories equals one pound of fat Extra calories not used during the day are stored as fat
BMI Is used to determine health risks in the general population Does not indicate true body fat percentage Does not take into account muscle mass or bone structure
BMR BMR- BASAL METABOLIC RATE Refers to the number of calories burned when totally inactive. When muscles become larger, BMR goes up and body fat goes down. 90% of all calories are metabolized by muscles
TBW TBW - TOTAL BODY WATER The amount of water expressed in pounds retained in the body. Comprises between 50% - 70% of total body weight.
Factors that influence Body Composition Diet, Heredity , Metabolism, Maturation, Early fatness, Physical activity
Activities that influence Body Composition Lifetime activities, Aerobic activities , Active sports, Strength and muscular endurance activities
Flexibility The ability to move a joint through the full range of motion.
Why Flexibility is Important Reduces risk of injury Reduces muscle soreness Reduces muscle tension Provides good posture Enhances body awareness Increases mental and physical relaxation Increases ability to perform skilled movements
How Flexibility can improve Warm Up Warm-Up Joint Rotation Aerobic activity Purpose: Increase core temperature and get muscles ready to be stretched
How Flexibility can improve Workout Dynamic Stretching- Activity that includes controlled leg and arm movements through a full range of motion Example- lifting weights (through a full range of motion), running, throwing, bounding
How flexibility can improve cool down Slow breathing and heart rate walking, light jogging Static stretching Stretch to point of slight discomfort Hold 10 to 30 seconds
Static Stretching Holding a Stretched Position
Ballistic Stretching Bouncing while stretching
Dynamic Stretching Moving a joint through a full range of motion
Passive Stretching an outside agent creates force, either manually or mechanically.
Hyper mobility The ability to move certain joints beyond straight (may be prone to injury)
Joint Laxity When a joint allows bones to move in ways not intended (looseness)
Arthritis A disease in which the joint becomes inflamed. 43 million Americans
Frequency- Flexibility At least 3 days a week
Intensity- Flexibility Stretch to slight discomfort, not to pain.
Time- Flexibility Each stretch is done for 10 to 30 seconds. Rest 10 seconds and repeat.
Type- Flexibility Stretch muscles you will be using in the activity Dynamic stretching Static stretching
Overload- Flexibility Stretching muscles farther than normal
Progression- Flexibility As flexibility improves, increase time, stretch farther, and/or more frequently
Specificity- Flexibility Flexibility only improves in the joints you stretch
Flexibility Injuries- Sprains/Strains -RICE R est- Stay off injured part of body I ce- Apply ice to injury 20 min. on 20 min off (repeat two or three times) C ompression- wrap injury to secure it E levate- Raise injury above heart to reduce swelling
Cardio respiratory Fitness of the heart, lungs, blood, and blood vessels The ability of the whole body to do physical activity for long periods of time
Respiratory System Lung, air passages
Vascular System Blood, Blood Vessels
FIT Heart a fit heart is stronger, and can pump more blood with fewer heart beats
Varicose Veins EXERCISE HELPS KEEP THE VALVES IN YOUR VEINS WORKING EFFICIENTLY
ATHEROSCLEROSIS a build-up of deposits inside an artery
Basic facts about heart IT IS A MUSCLE PUMPS BLOOD AND O2 BEATS ABOUT 70 TIMES PER MINUTE A FIT PERSON’S HEART BEATS FEWER TIMES PER MINUTE
What is the best type of exercise for cardiovascular health Aerobic exercise
Aerobic Exercise CONTINUOUS - 20 MINUTES RYTHMICAL REPETITIVE KEEPS HEART RATE IN TARGET ZONE (65% - 85% OF AGE ADJUSTED MHR)
FITT- Aerobic Exercise F = MINIMUM OF 3 TIMES A WEEK I = WITHIN YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE T = MINIMUM 20 MINUTES T = AEROBIC EXERCISE
Overload- Cardiovascular Fitness Increasing the intensity of your workout or activity in order to elevate the heart rate to the target heart zone.
Muscular Strength The amount of force a muscle can exert.
Muscular Endurance The muscles ability to do a repetitive movement many times without tiring.
Why is Muscular Fitness important? Perform daily tasks more efficiently Improves bone density Improves the stability of the skeletal system Reduces the risk of injury Improves appearance, self-esteem and confidence Raises BMR which can lower excess body fat
How to increase Muscular Strength Working the muscles with near maximum resistance (weight) and a low number of repetitions (fewer than eight)
FITT- Muscular Strength Frequency – 2 to 3 days a week Intensity – 60% – 85% of 1 RM Time – 3 - 8 reps, 1 – 3 sets Type – Free weights, selectorized equipment, isotonic, calisthenics
How to increase Muscular Endurance Working the muscles using light resistance and a high number of repetitions (more than eight)
FITT- Muscular Endurance Frequency – 2 to 3 days a week Intensity – 50% - 70% of 1 RM Time – 12 – 20 reps, 4 – 6 sets Type – Free weights, selectorized equipment, isotonic, calisthenics
Repetitions The number of times a person has done an exercise
Set A group of reps
SMART Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time bound
Overload Lifting more than your muscles are used to by increasing resistance or repetitions
Progression As your muscle fitness improves you will need to increase resistance, repetitions or sets
Specificity Strength or endurance will only improve in the muscles you are working
Isometric Exercise static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint.
