5 Stages of change

Precontemplation

stage of change where you are not even considering to change and may be in denial. Barriers are greater than the benefits

Contemplation

stage of change when you are aware of the problem, but are ambivalent about changing. You are intending to or seriously thinking about changing behaviors, but have not made a commitment

Preparation

when you are on the verge of making a specific change and may be experimenting with small changes

Action

Actually taking action on behavior change and using strategies to resist temptations, cope with everyday challenges, and prevent relapse

Maintenance

To sustain your newly changed behavior. Must attain the new behavior from anywhere from 6 months to 5 years

How many days make a habit?

21 days

specific,measurable, attainable, reward, time-defined

SMART Goal stands for?

Physical Activity

Any movement, produced by skeletal muscle, that results in energy expenditure

Exercise

Planned, structured, and repeptitive bodily movement with the purpose of improving or maintaining one or more components of physical fitness or health

Physical Fitness

The ability of the body to function at optimal efficiency

Speed, power, agility, balance

skill related components of physical fitness

Cardiorespiratory endurance

Ability of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to delvier oxygen to working muscles and essential nutrients during vigorous physical activity

Muscular Strength

Ability of the muscle to exert a maximum force against resistance

Muscular Endurance

Ability of the muscle to exert repeated force against resistance or to sustain muscular contraction

Flexibility

Movement of a joint through full ROM

Body Composition

The amount of body fat in proportion to fat free weight

5 Principles of Fitness Development

Progressive Overload, Specificity, Reversibility, Individual Differences, Cross Training

Progressive Overload

A gradual increase in physical activity, working a muscle group or body system beyond accustomed levels

Specificity

Only the muslces or body systems being exercised will show beneficial changes

Reversibility

Changes occurring with exercise are reversible, and the gradual fitness loss begins at 48 hours

Individual Differences

principle of fitness development where people vary in their ability to develop fitness components

Cross Training

principle of fitness development where you participate in 2 or more types of exercise in one session or alternate sessions for balanced fitness.

Factors that affect V02max

What does FITT stand for?

frequency, intensity, time, type

Target Heart Rate THR Calculation

(HR max- HR rest)*intensity+HR rest

Two joint types

Hinge

Ball and Socket

Static Stretch

Type of stretching of a low and controlled tension to hold

Dynamic Stretch

Type of stretching where the range of motion is achieved by quickly moving a limb to its limits

PNF partner stretching

utilizes inverse stretch reflex by GTO to relax the target muscle and allow for a greater stretch

weight control, weight gain, appearance, energy, athletic performance

benefits of resistance training

Cautions of resisitance training

Injury, no equipment barriers, hypertension, improper technique

Atrophy

when muscle fibers shrink in size

Hypertrophy

increase in fiber size of the muscle

3 types of RT (resistance training)

isometric, istonic, isokinetic

Isometric Exercise

Contraction without change in muscle length, little or no movement, used for people who are injured

Isotonic Exercise

Contraction of muscles results in movement and changes in muscle length. Constant muscle tension

Isokinetic Exercise

Speed of movement is controlled with muscle exercise

Valsalva maneuver

Holding your breath while straining against a closed epiglottis
