What is Fitness? Skill Related Fitness includes: – Agility – Reaction Time – Balance – Power – Coordination – Speed

What is Fitness? Health Related Fitness includes: – Cardiovascular Fitness – Muscular Fitness – Flexibility – Body Composition In 6 th the focus is FLEXIBILITY In 7 th the focus is CV Fitness In 8 th the focus is MUSCULAR STRENGTH & ENDURANCE

Fitness Strength - How much power your muscles can generate.

Fitness Endurance - The ability to do an activity over a period of time, OR to do an activity over and over again. There are two types of endurance – cardiovascular and muscular.

Fitness Muscular endurance would be tested by an exercise like push-ups. Cardiovascular endurance would be tested by activities like jogging. cacher/upload/stumptowngirl.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/homer_running.jpg

The FITT Principle Frequency Intensity Time Type

The FITT Principle Frequency – 2-3 times a week Intensity – Body weight Time – – Multiple sets of 6-10 repetitions – As many reps as you can do. – The total number of reps should be greater than your goal. Type – Muscular strength

FITNESS AND CONDITIONING QUESTIONS

Benefits Increases muscle size Increases speed/reaction time Increases bone density Speeds up metabolism (burn fat faster) Strengthens connective tissue (tendons and ligaments) Increases blood flow to muscles

Benefits Increases blood flow to muscles Increases oxygen flow to muscles Speeds recovery from other exercises Improves posture Reduces muscle fatigue Improves confidence and self-image Improves posture

Overload Principle You get stronger by increasing the workload or the resistance each time you work out. – That means each time you work out you add more sets and reps OR you use more weight. This OVERLOADS the muscles, and the body adjusts by getting stronger. Specificity – Any exercise you do needs to be SPECIFIC to the area you are trying to improve. – For example, you don’t do sit-ups or the mile run to increase your score on the push-up test.

I will reach my goal by _________________________________________________________________________________________ Why is flexibility important for you? ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ How can you improve or maintain a healthy level of flexibility? ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ The end of the 9 weeks. (Think about different stretches we have done and the FITT principle we have learned.) (Look at the list of benefits and pick some that are important to you. MAKE SURE TO EXPLAIN WHY.)
