ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a specific joint.

BODY COMPOSITION

amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs.

SKILL-RELATED FITNESS

consists of those components of fitness that have a relationship with enhanced performance in athletic activities.

Skill related fitness

abilities increases one’s ability to perform in various activities and only has an indirect connection with health.

BALANCE

refers to a person’s ability to maintain their equilibrium when moving or when they are in a stationary position.

COORDINATION

refers to a person’s ability to perform complex movements due to the working together of the nervous system and the muscles of the body. This is also referred to as a person’s ability to do two things at the same time.

AGILITY

person’s ability to move their body quickly and easily. This also includes their ability to quickly change their direction while maintaining their balance.

POWER

considered to be a combination of strength and speed. It has also been defined as the ability to exert muscle force quickly for this reason some consider it to be a combination of skill and health-related physical fitness.

SPEED

refers to a person’s ability to move fast. If it is combined with strength it will provide power and force.

REACTION TIME

is a skill-related component of physical fitness that relates to the time between one of your senses recognizing a stimulus and your body moving in response.

WELLNESS

individuals must be physically fit and manifest no signs of disease, and they also must avoid all risk factors of diseases.

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

your ability to carry on day-to-day activities with self-confidence and optimism.

INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS

lifelong learners who focus on growing through-out the life span.

SOCIAL WELLNESS

ability to interact with others in meaningful ways that help establish long-term relationships.

ENVIRONMENTAL WELLNESS

capability to create your own sense of place so you could feel comfortable

SPIRITUAL WELLNESS

to know how to make the best of a bad situation and fend off naysayers by focusing on the positive.

PHYSICAL WELLNESS

major influence on the status of this dimension of wellness.

OCCUPATIONAL WELLNESS

ability to achieve a balance between work and leisure in a way that promotes health, a sense of personal satisfaction and is (for most people) financially rewarding.

Interval Training

Speed. It is a type of physical training that involves bursts of

high-intensity work interspersed with periods of low-intensity

work. The high-intensity periods are anaerobic exercise,

while the recovery periods may involve either complete rest or

an activity of lower intensity.

INTERVAL TRAINING

Suitable for team game players, as it consists of short bursts followed by slow walking or stopping.

Tempo/continuous Training

• It is a steady run of moderate to long distance that's

  performed at a moderate to moderately hard pace.

• It could start with brisk walk or slow jog initially and

  eventually maintaining a constant pace for a distance.

  • In continuous training the athlete does not stop training.

Circuit Training

• A form of conditioning combining resistance training

  and high-intensity aerobics.

• It is designed to be easy to follow and target strength

  building, cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance (SCM).

Strength training

is exercising with the goal of increasing your physical strength.

Cardiovascular Fitness

refers to the ability of your heart, lungs and organs to consume, transport and utilize oxygen.

Muscular Endurance

the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.

WEIGHTS TRAINING

• Strength training that uses weights for resistance. It challenges your muscles by providing a stress to the muscle that causes it to adapt and get stronger.

  • It can be performed with free weights, such as barbells and

    dumbbells, or by using weight machines.

Plyometric Training

• a type of exercise designed to produce fast and powerful movements.

  • It is a form of power training that enhances powerful and

    explosive reaction of an athletic through powerful muscular

    contractions during rapid movements.

Plyometric Training

It uses activities such as jumps, leaps, hops, springs and throws

with the aim of stretching and shortening the muscles quickly

to produce movement.

Biomechanics

It's the study and analysis of how all the individual parts of your body work together to make up athletic and everyday movements.

Sports Biomechanics

STUDIES HUMAN MOTION DURING EXERCISE AND SPORTS. PHYSICS AND THE LAWS OF MECHANICS ARE APPLIED TO ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE.

EQUIPMENT

SHOE CAN BE DESIGNED FOR THE BEST PERFORMANCE FOR

A MIDDLE-DISTANCE RUNNER OR A RACKET FOR THE BEST

GRIP. PLAYING SURFACES ARE ALSO STUDIED FOR THIS

PURPOSE, SUCH AS HOW THE SURFACE STIFFNESS OF

ARTIFICIAL TURF AFFECTS ATHLETE PERFORMANCE.

Individuals

ANALYZING THEIR MOVEMENTS AND COACHING THEM FOR

MORE EFFECTIVE MOVEMENT DURING EXERCISE AND

SPORTS MOVEMENT.

Injuries

BIOMECHANICS CAN BE APPLIED TO STUDYING THE

CAUSES, TREATMENT, AND PREVENTION OF ———-

Training

BIOMECHANICS CAN STUDY SPORTS TECHNIQUES AND ———— SYSTEMS AND DEVELOP WAYS TO MAKE THEM MORE EFFICIENT.

Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type

FITT principle

Frequency

How often you work. Refers to the number of times per week you engage in physical activity or exercise.

Intensity

How hard you work. The difficulty or exertion level of your physical activity or exercise. (Heart rate, talk test)

Time

Duration that you work, usually measured in minutes or hours.

Type

Mode of activity you choose. The particular type of activity or exercise you choose to do.

Repetition

the most basic component of a resistance-training program. One completion of an activity or exercise.

Set

group of consecutive reps for any exercise.

Isometric, Concentric, Eccentric

Muscle Contraction

Isometric

characterized by a change in muscle tension without change in muscle length. Seen when pushing against an immovable object or trying to lift a weight that is too

Concentric

there is sufficient muscle tension to overcome the load, and the muscle contracts and shortens.

Seen during activities such as a biceps curl or standing from a squatting position.

Eccentric

muscle contraction occurs when the muscle works to decelerate a joint at the end of a movement as opposed to pulling a joining in the direction of the contraction. (lengthening while contracting)
