Anatomy, Physiology, & My Fitness Plan By: Student #1, Student #2, & Student #3 (Michelle Day)

Our Goals  To learn the muscles and bones that make up our bodies.  To learn how about how our bodies use energy when we exercise.  To create fitness plans for our group members based on what we like to do.

How We Approached Our Goals  We approached this project as if we were fitness professionals, such as a personal trainer or a physical education teacher.  We choose this because many people are not active enough and are gaining more and more weight.

What We Did  We worked together to gather information on muscles and bones.  We researched on our bodies energy systems.  We used the Internet as our main resource.  We talked about what kinds of sports we liked to do.

Our Muscles and Bones The human body has 206 bonesThe human body has 206 bones The human skeleton has 6The human skeleton has 6 functions functions To protect organs such theTo protect organs such the brain, heart, and lungs To support the body and itsTo support the body and itsorgans To allow our bodies to moveTo allow our bodies to move Allows blood cell productionAllows blood cell production Storage center for calciumStorage center for calcium Center for some hormoneCenter for some hormonestorage

Our Muscles and Bones  Our bodies have around 600 muscles. Muscles have 4 functionsMuscles have 4 functions MovementMovement ProtectionProtection Helps with supporting the bodyHelps with supporting the body Produces body heatProduces body heat

Energy Systems & Physiology  ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.  ATP is stored in our muscles, blood glucose, and fats.  There are three ways that our bodies use energy or ATP.  The Anaerobic Energy System (ATP-CP)  The Anaerobic Lactate System (Glycolytic)  The Aerobic Energy System

Energy Systems  The Anaerobic Energy Systems  Creatine Phosphate (CP)  CP is stored in the muscles. When CP is broken down, it makes ATP.  CP Anaerobic Energy System is used when exercises last less than 8 seconds.  Glycolytic  Glycogen that is stored in the body is used for energy.  Is used with exercises that last from 10 seconds to 4 minutes.

Energy Systems  The Aerobic Energy System  ATP used comes from our body fats  Used in exercises that lasts over 4 minutes.  All sports use all three energy systems- but in different proportions.

Fitness Guidelines  We found physical activity guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine.  Perform 30 minutes of cardio at a moderate intensity five days a week, OR  Perform 20 minutes of cardio at a vigorous intensity three days a week, AND  Complete 8 to10 strength training activities 2 days week, at 8 to 12 reps.

Student #1’s Fitness Plan  Enjoys playing volleyball, which is a higher intensity sport, and mainly uses the ATP-CP Energy System.  Will play volleyball three days a week for minutes.  Will do lunges, calf raises, crunches, push-ups, trunk lifts, squats, and shoulder shrugs for the days of strength training

Student #2’s Fitness Plan  Enjoys running long distances, which is a lower intensity sport, and mainly uses the aerobic energy system.  Will run five days a week at the minimum of 30 minutes a day.  Will do military presses, bench presses, lat pull downs, biceps curls, back squats, seated leg curls, crunches, calf raises 2 days a week

Student #3’s Fitness Plan  Enjoys swimming the 200m freestyle, this activity uses the Anaerobic Glycolytic Energy System.  Will swim three days week for minutes.  Will do assisted pull-ups, assisted dips, leg presses, leg curls, crunches with a medicine ball, bench press, and calf raises two days a week.
