DO NOW: Some people are fast, some strong, some flexible….. Can you list the 5 elements of fitness?

Improving Your Fitness Chapter 12 Lesson 2

The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to utilize and send fuel and oxygen to the body’s tissues during long periods of moderate-to-vigorous activity. Cardiorespiratory Endurance - The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to utilize and send fuel and oxygen to the body’s tissues during long periods of moderate-to-vigorous activity.

How do you improve Cardiovascular Endurance? Aerobic Exercise! – –As a result, HR increases, blood pumps throughout body, heart and lungs adapt to physical demands. PRACTICE! Experiment

The amount of force a muscle can exert Muscular Strength- The amount of force a muscle can exert Measure? Strength testing exercises (ie. Curl-ups, pull ups ) Improve? Resistance/weight training – –The more you workout the stronger you become Benefits? Boosts metabolism Protects joints from injury

The ability of the muscles to perform physical tasks over a period of time w/out becoming fatigued. Muscular Endurance- The ability of the muscles to perform physical tasks over a period of time w/out becoming fatigued. Increase? Lighter weights with a lot of repetitions

The ability to move a body part through a full range of motion Flexibility- The ability to move a body part through a full range of motion Improvement in flexibility helps with overall athletic performance Reduces risk of injury Measure? Stretching Improves? Blood circulation Coordination Types of Stretches Ballistic = bounce – WRONG! Dynamic = active – pre workout Static = Stay – Post workout

ratio of fat to lean tissue Body Composition- ratio of fat to lean tissue Also known as – Body Fat% Measure? Various ways – –We use Tanita Scale

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise Aerobic Long periods of time Raise your heart rate Burns fat Ie. Jogging, swimming Anaerobic Intense, short burst activities Builds muscles Ie. Sprinting, lifting weights

The “I” exercises Isometric Isotonic Isokinetic What’s the difference?!

Isometric Muscle tension improves strength – little or no movement

Isotonic Combination of joint movement and muscle contraction Build flexibility and strength

Isokinetic Use resistance against muscles as moves through range of motion during speed (Ie. Weight machines, bike machines)

By yourself… You are going to go on a computer and on a separate sheet of paper which you are going to turn in to me… Find five of the following.. Isometric Isotonic Isokinetic
