The ability of the muscles to perform physical tasks over a period of time without becoming fatigued. Example: How many push ups can you do before getting tired? 8 Muscular Endurance

Helps reduce the risk of injury. Helps maintain a healthy body composition. Promotes a positive self-esteem. Prevents osteoporosis. 9 Benefits of Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance

(Bonus) 15 Quiz

Read pages 80 – 81 and answer the following questions. Define cardiorespiratory endurance. Keeping your ________________ system healthy is the most effective way to prevent cardiovascular disease. What is one test used to measure cardiorespiratory endurance? 16 Assignment

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. Example: 1-mile run 17 Cardiorespiratory Endurance

The Heart should be trained just like any other muscle. Good cardiovascular endurance can reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Method of Assessment Step Test Copy Scoring Chart from page Cardiorespiratory Endurance

Frequency How often are you going to do it? Intensity How hard are you going to work? Type What type of aerobic exercise are you going to do? Time/duration How long are you going to do it? 19 Elements of Cardiorespiratory Endurance

How often an individual engages in an exercise session. To improve C.R.E. three to five minute training sessions per week is recommended. To increase weight loss minutes of low- moderate intensity exercise 5-6 days/week is recommended. 20 Frequency

How hard a person must work in order to improve or maintain fitness. Must work at Target Heart Rate to see benefits. 21 Intensity

Copy the 5 steps to calculating your target heart rate on page 84. (Real Life Application) 1.Sit quietly. Take your pulse by using your index and middle finger pressed just under your jaw line or on the thumb side of your wrist. Count for 15 seconds, then multiply that number by 4. This is your resting heart rate. 2.Subtract your age from 220. (220 – age = maximum heart rate) 3.Subtract your resting heart rate from your maximum heart rate. 4.Multiply the number you arrived at by 60 % and then 85% round to the nearest whole numbers 5.Add your resting heart rate to the numbers you arrived at in Step 4. (This equals your target heart rate range) 22 Calculating Target Heart Rate

Suzy = Resting Heart Rate = 66bpm = = x.60 = 83 and 138 x.85 = = = = Target Heart Rate Range 23 Example

The form of exercise selected. Must Be Aerobic Exercise Examples: Jogging Walking Swimming Hiking 24 Type

The time in which the exercise session is carried out. The general recommendation is that an individual train between minutes per session. Untrained individuals should train at a lower level therefore they should workout for a longer duration. 25 Time/Duration

Flexibility The ability to move a body part through it’s full range of motion. Example: Stretching Method of Assessment Sit and Reach 26

Approximately 80% of all low back pain in the US stem from poor flexibility. Different Types of Flexibility Training Ballistic Stretching Static Stretching Dynamic Stretching 27 Background Information

-Kandace – 8 th grader -125 lbs -5’3” tall -Goals: -Get into healthy fitness zone for flexibility -Tone up all over -Decrease her BMI -Are these realistic goals? -How can we help? 31 Scenarios

Copy the following definitions into your notebook. Overload: Working the body harder than it is normally worked. Progression: Gradual increase in overload that is necessary to achieve higher levels of fitness. Specificity: Particular activities or exercises that improve particular areas of fitness. 32 Three Principles of Fitness

Each program should consist of three stages. The warm-up: Activity that prepares the muscles for work. The workout: The part of an exercise program when the activity is performed at its highest peak. Aerobic Anaerobic Both Cool Down: An activity that prepares the muscles to return to a resting state. 33 Developing a Physical Fitness Program
