Trimester II

Repetition  The number of times you repeat an exercise

Sets  A number of repetitions Example: 10 repetitions could be 1 set

Resistance  The amount of weight working against your muscle

Muscular Strength  A muscle’s ability to exert force

Flexibility  A muscle’s range of motion

Muscular Endurance  Ability to use a muscle many times without getting tired

Cardiovascular Endurance  The ability to exercise the body for long periods of time

Curl Ups Test  Measures Muscular Endurance and Muscular Strength

Sit and Reach Test  Measures Flexibility

Pacer Test  Measures Cardiovascular Endurance

Push Ups Test  Measures Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance

PE Beliefs  Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance improve your quality of life

PE Beliefs  Rest is important to overall health

PE Beliefs  Many factors determine your strength (heredity, nutrition, rest, training, etc.)

PE Beliefs  There are many ways to determine your personal fitness level (heart rates, fitness testing results, BMI, body composition testing, VO 2 Max, etc)

PE Beliefs  Fitness standards are based on reliable data (national testing and gender differences)

PE Beliefs  Personal daily choices effect your fitness level

FITT Principle  FITT is an acronym used to explain exercise  F = Frequency (how often you exercise)  I = Intensity (how hard you exercise)  T = Time (how long you exercise)  T = Type (the kind of exercise you are doing)

FITT for Aerobic/Cardio  F = Frequency (example: 3 times a week)  I = Intensity (commonly expressed by heart rate)  T = Time (usually expressed in minutes or hours)  T = Type (cardio/aerobic: running, biking, aerobic dance, etc)

FITT for Anaerobic Exercise  F = Frequency (ex: three times a week)  I = Intensity (ex: weight training would be expressed in the amount of weight used for an exercise-- 80 pound bench press, body weight for push ups, etc)  T = Time (may be expressed in sets or reps)  T = Type (ex: weight training, speed training, agility training, sport specific drills, etc)

PE Facts  Flexibility  Needs time to improve  Can be improved in nearly everyone  Is a factor in fitness levels

PE Facts  Stretching  Targets specific muscle groups  Example: Sit and Reach Test stretches the Hamstrings (back of the upper legs)

PE Facts  Stretching helps us  Prevent injuries  Improve athletic performance  Reduce muscle soreness

PE Facts  Stretching should be done when muscles are warm

Flexibility  The range of motion of muscles and joints

PE Facts  The goal of taking your pulse during training is to see if it is in your Target Heart Rate Zone

PE Fact  Stretches should be held for a duration of at least seconds
