Physical Education - Review Flashcards

Flashcards covering key concepts from the lecture notes on health, fitness types, FITT, and related topics.

What are the five components of health?

Physical health, Emotional health, Mental health, Social health, and Spiritual health.

True or False: Physical fitness can be achieved only when all components of health are fulfilled.

True.

What is the definition of physical fitness as given in the notes?

The ability to execute daily activities without undue fatigue.

What is one purpose of physical education according to the notes?

To provide cognitive content and instruction designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors.

List three examples of aerobic exercises mentioned.

Brisk walking, swimming, jogging (also cycling, Zumba/aerobic dance, jump rope).

How are aerobic exercises described?

They are continuous, rhythmic activities that raise breathing and heart rate over a sustained period.

What energy/physiological effect is associated with aerobic exercise?

They increase breathing and heart rate and use oxygen to meet energy demands.

What are the benefits of aerobic exercise listed?

Improved heart and lung function; increased stamina and endurance; weight management; reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes; improved mood and reduced anxiety.

What is anaerobic exercise?

Exercises that do not rely on oxygen; use stored glycogen, produce lactic acid, and build muscle mass.

Give two examples of anaerobic exercises.

Pushups and sit-ups (curl-ups).

What does the acronym FITT stand for?

Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type.

In the FITT principle, what does Frequency refer to?

How often a person exercises.

In the FITT principle, what does Intensity refer to?

How hard the activity is.

In the FITT principle, what does Time refer to?

How long each exercise session lasts.

In the FITT principle, what does Type refer to?

What kind of exercise is performed.

Why is it recommended to progress from light to vigorous intensity?

To avoid the risks of injury.

What characterizes Vigorous-Intensity Aerobic Exercise?

Causes rapid breathing and a high heart rate; talking becomes difficult; burns more calories and improves cardiovascular fitness more quickly.

Name examples of vigorous-intensity activities listed.

Running, jogging, jumping rope, fast cycling (also high‑impact aerobics, swimming laps, playing sports).

What is the purpose of warming up and cooling down?

Warm-up prepares the body for exercise; cool-down aids in recovery and relaxation.

During vigorous-intensity exercise, what happens to the ability to talk?

Talking becomes difficult due to the high intensity.

What happens in anaerobic metabolism regarding glycogen and lactic acid?

Stored glycogen is used as fuel and lactic acid is produced.

What does anaerobic metabolism imply about oxygen?

It occurs without (or without sufficient) oxygen.

What is Flexibility?

Involves stretching the muscles and joints to improve range of motion and elasticity; helps lengthen muscles and loosen tight areas; aids injury prevention and supports muscle memory.

What does Range of Motion (ROM) mean?

The degree of movement possible at a joint.

What are the benefits of flexibility training?

Improved range of motion, lengthened muscles, injury prevention, and improved muscle memory.

What are the health-related fitness components listed in the notes?

Muscular strength, muscular endurance, bone strength/density, cardiovascular strength/endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

What does the notes say about the function of the body?

It refers to how the body works.

What is Skill-Related Fitness according to the notes?

The ability of the body to coordinate movements (body coordination).

Name a skill-related fitness component mentioned.

Balance.

Name another skill-related fitness component mentioned.

Reaction time.
