These flashcards cover key concepts related to sports, health, and physical activity as outlined in the lecture notes.

Skillful

Having the ability to perform tasks proficiently, especially in sports.

Sedentary

A lifestyle characterized by a lack of physical activity or exercise.

Fundamental Movement Skills

Basic skills that serve as the foundation for more complex movements in sports.

Non-locomotor

Movement that does not involve changing location.

Locomotor

Movement skills that involve moving from one place to another.

Object Control

Skills that involve handling an object or equipment with control.

Physical Inactivity

Lack of sufficient physical activity, often linked to a sedentary lifestyle.

World Health Organization (WHO)

An international public health agency that recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily.

Moderate-to-vigorous intensity

Activities that elevate the heart rate significantly and involve higher energy expenditure.

Brisk Walking

Walking at a pace that is fast enough to elevate the heart rate.

Training to Compete

Engaging in physical activity intended to improve overall physical health.

Recreational Activities

Activities performed for enjoyment or relaxation that also promote physical activity.

Leisure Activities

Activities done during free time that are enjoyable and may involve light physical activity.

Sedentary Activities

Activities that involve sitting or lying down, leading to a lack of movement.

Skill-Related Fitness Components

Physical abilities that enhance performance in sports, such as speed, agility, and power.

Power

The ability to exert maximum force in the shortest time.

Speed

The ability to move quickly or cover distance in a short amount of time.

Agility

The ability to change direction quickly and efficiently.

Coordination

The ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly.

Balance

The ability to maintain stability while stationary or moving.

Reaction Time

Community Sports Participation

Engagement in sports activities within a community to promote health and social bonds.

Barriers to Sports Participation

Energy Systems

Biological systems that generate ATP to fuel exercise and movement.

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

The primary energy carrier in cells.

Phosphagen Energy System

The energy system that provides immediate energy for short bursts of activity.

Glycolytic (Anaerobic) Energy System

An energy system that generates ATP without oxygen for high-intensity activities.

Oxidative (Aerobic) Energy System

An energy system that requires oxygen to produce ATP for longer-duration activities.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

A measure that uses height and weight to estimate body fat.

FITT Principle

A guideline for creating an effective exercise program: Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type.

Sedentary Lifestyle

A way of life that involves little or no physical activity.

Cardiovascular Fitness

The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity.

Musculoskeletal Fitness

The strength and endurance of muscles and bones.

Heart Rate Monitoring

Tracking heart rate during exercise to evaluate intensity and fitness levels.

Active Lifestyle

A lifestyle that incorporates regular physical activity into daily routines.

Sports Classification

The categorization of sports based on various factors like number of players or risk level.

Invasion/Territory

Team sports where one team attempts to score in the opponent's territory.

Wall/Net

Games played on a defined court area, often involving nets.
