Cool Down

  • Gradual Recovery

    • Recovery of heart rate gradually returns to normal levels.

    • Gradual reduction of blood pressure after intense activity.

    • Redistribution of blood flow to organs and muscles.

    • Assists in removing metabolic waste products like carbon dioxide from muscles used during exercise.

Warm Up

  • Purpose

    • Increases core body temperature and muscle temperature.

    • Redirects blood flow towards the working muscles.

    • Gradually elevates heart rate and breathing rates.

    • Reduces the likelihood of muscle soreness or stiffness after exercise.

Difference Between Exercise and Physical Activity

  • Exercise:

    • Planned and structured movements designed to improve or maintain physical fitness.

  • Physical Activity:

    • Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles which requires energy expenditure.

Macronutrients Overview

  • Three Macronutrients:

    • Proteins: Critical for muscle repair and growth.

    • Carbohydrates: Primary energy source for the body.

    • Fats: Essential for hormone production and nutrient absorption.

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

  • Definition:

    • The body's ability to sustain high to medium intensity physical activity over extended periods.

    • Relies on the circulatory and respiratory systems.

  • Components of Cardiorespiratory System:

    • Heart

    • Lungs

    • Blood Vessels

Energy Systems of the Body

  • Three Energy Systems:

    • ATP System:

      • Provides energy for short bursts of activity (less than 10 seconds).

    • Glycolytic Energy System:

      • Powers activities lasting longer than 10 seconds but less than 2 minutes.

    • Oxidative Energy System:

      • Operates in the presence of oxygen, used for prolonged endurance activities.

After Intense Workout Byproducts

  • Muscles produce byproducts like leucosis after intense exercise.

Healthy Weight Loss

  • Recommended:

    • Aim for weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week.

SMART Goals Acronym

  • S: Specific - Goals should be clear and specific.

  • M: Measurable - Define measurable outcomes.

  • A: Attainable - Ensure goals are realistically achievable.

  • R: Relevant - Goals should be meaningful and relevant to individual needs.

  • T: Time-Based - Set timelines for achievement.

FITT Principles

  • FITT:

    • Frequency: How often you exercise.

    • Intensity: The level of effort in your workouts.

    • Time: Duration of each exercise session.

    • Type: The kind of exercises performed.

Types of Carbohydrates

  • Recommended Type:

    • Focus on consuming complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.

Training Principles

  • Four Principles:

    • Progressive Overload:

      • The body must be progressively challenged to improve physical fitness.

    • Reversibility:

      • Fitness improvements can be lost if training is stopped.

    • Specificity:

      • The body adapts to the specific demands placed upon it by exercises.

    • Recovery:

      • Tissue breakdown occurs followed by repair and improvement; higher intensity requires longer recovery times.

Essential Fat

  • Definition:

    • Fat necessary for normal physiological functions.

  • Locations:

    • Found in the central nervous system, bone marrow, and surrounding organs.

    • Crucial for hormonal balance and transmission of neural signals.

Major Eating Disorders

  • Anorexia Nervosa:

    • Characterized by refusal to maintain body weight.

  • Bulimia Nervosa:

    • Involves binge eating followed by purging behaviors.

  • Binge Eating Disorder:

    • Frequent episodes of uncontrolled overeating without compensatory behaviors.

Muscle Fiber Types

  • Fast Twitch Fibers:

    • Generate high force and contract rapidly but tire quickly.

  • Slow Twitch Fibers:

    • Generate less force and contract slowly but can sustain longer activities.

Stretching Techniques

  • Dynamic Stretching:

    • Involves movement-based stretches to prepare the body for exercise.

  • Static Stretching:

    • Involves holding a stretch for an extended period, typically over 45 seconds.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

  • Definition:

    • The energy required to maintain essential body processes at rest.

  • Influences:

    • Affected by genetics, body size, composition, and increased by resistance training.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • Definition:

    • Measure of weight in relation to height.

    • Formula: BMI = weight (kg) / [height (m)]^2.

  • Obesity Classification:

    • A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

Dimensions of Wellness

  1. Emotional Wellness:

    • Involves managing stress and expressing emotions effectively.

  2. Environmental Wellness:

    • Acknowledges the impact of surroundings on overall well-being.

  3. Intellectual Wellness:

    • Ability to think critically and solve problems.

  4. Financial Wellness:

    • Effective management of financial resources requires discipline.

  5. Occupational Wellness:

    • Fulfillment and satisfaction from work life.

  6. Physical Wellness:

    • Encompasses complete physical health and functioning.

  7. Social Wellness:

    • Ability to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships.

  8. Spiritual Wellness:

    • The presence of guiding beliefs and values that provide life meaning.
