Kinesiology First Test

Principles and Prescriptions

Cardiorespitory Endurance

The ability of the heart, lungs, and muscles to work together efficiently during prolonged physical activity, allowing sustained exercise without fatigue.

Muscular Strength

The maximum amount of force that a muscle or group of muscles can exert in a single effort, important for overall physical performance and health.

Muscular Endurance

The ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions over a period of time without fatigue, crucial for activities involving prolonged exertion.

Flexibility

The range of motion available at a joint or group of joints, allowing for greater movement and reducing the risk of injury.

Body Composition

The proportion of fat and non-fat mass in the body, influencing health, physical performance, and metabolic functions.

Principles of Specificity

The concept that training adaptations are specific to the type of exercise performed. This principle emphasizes that to improve a particular skill or fitness component, one must engage in exercises that closely relate to that desired outcome.

Principles of Recuperation

the concept that rest and recovery are essential components of training, allowing the body to repair and adapt to the stresses of exercise, ultimately enhancing performance and reducing the risk of overtraining.

Principle of Reversibility

Loss of fitness due to inactivity, IF YOU DONT USE IT YOU LOSE IT, Speed at which fitness is lost depends on component of physical fitness

The Workout F.I.T.T Principle

Frequency, Intensity, Time/Duration, Type

Frequency

number of times per week you excerise, recommended 3-7 times per week

Intensity

amount of physiological stress placed on the body during excerise

Time/ Duration

length of time preforming recommended workout DOES NOT INCLUDE WARM UP AND COOL DOWN

type

the specific activity to be preformed can be classified and high impact and low impact
