METABOLISM The process by which your body gets energy from food. Your metabolic rate increases during exercise. The number of calories burned depends on the exercise. You metabolism stays up for a short period after exercise.

YOUR WEIGHT If you take in fewer calories than you burn you lose weight. If you take in more calories than you burn, you gain weight. Pounds gained per year Excess Calories per Day

FLEXIBILITY Being able to move a joint through a full range of motions Girl

Factors Affecting Flexibility Bone structure of the joint The amount of tissue surrounding the joint The extensibility of ligaments, tendons and muscle tissue The third component is the one that can be most affected by proper flexibility program

TYPES OF STRETCHING Static Static Demonstration Static Demonstration Slow sustained movement. Causes the muscle to relax and lengthen Relieves soreness when done after activity. Dynamic Dynamic Introduction Uses speed and momentum to encourage lengthening of the muscle. Helps with sports performance. Simulates movement in activity. Uses prior to a performance or practice Dynamic Introduction

When and How? Warm up to stretch. Increase body temperature to reduce risk of injury. Warm up until you start to perspire. Hold stretch for seconds. Allow the muscle to relax. Feel “Stretch Stress” – feeling of stress, but with no undue pain.

IMPROVING MUSCULAR STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, and FLEXIBILITY Anaerobic Exercise Intense bursts of activity in which the muscles work so hard that they produce energy without using oxygen

ISOMETRIC EXERCISE Muscles use tension to improve muscular strength with little or no movement of the body part Isometric Demonstration

ISOTONIC EXERCISE Combines muscle contraction with muscle extension

ISOKINETIC EXERCISE Activity that involves resistance through an entire range of motion Leg Extension/contraction

BASICS OF AN EXERCISE PROGRAM Overload = working the body harder than it is normally worked. Progression = Gradual increase in overload necessary for achieving higher levels of fitness. Specificity = Improve a particular area of health related fitness.

SKILLS RELATED FITNESS Agility The ability to control body movement and change direction quickly Balance Being able to stay upright either while standing or moving. Coordination The ability to use two or more body parts Speed Move a distance or complete a body movement in a short period of time Reaction Time The rate of movement once a person realizes they need to move Power The ability to use force with great speed
