What is fitness?
Fitness is defined as the ability to perform routine physical activity without undue fatigue.

3. Exercise, Health and Fitness
The overload principle assumes that the body will adapt to the stresses placed on it.
Aerobic exercise
includes endurance exercises such as jogging, swimming or cycling, or any exercise that increases heart rate and requires oxygen in metabolism.
The cardiorespiratory system
includes the circulatory and respiratory systems, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells.

Which is true regarding the overload principle?
When you exercise, you should work harder than you think is possible.
The body will adapt to the stresses placed on it.
If people exercise too much, they will not improve fitness.
Overload is to be avoided. b

5. Exercise, the Heart and the Muscles
Regular aerobic exercise and the heart
strengthens the heart muscle
increases stroke volume
decreases the resting heart rate.
increases ability of cells to use oxygen to produce energy
increases the circulatory system's ability to deliver oxygen
The resting heart rate can be measured by counting the number of pulses per minute while at rest.
Aerobic capacity is the body’s maximum ability to generate ATP by aerobic metabolism during exercise. Aerobic capacity is also called VO2 max.

6. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Which of the following statements about aerobic capacity is incorrect?
Aerobic capacity is the body's maximum ability to generate ATP by aerobic metabolism during exercise
Aerobic capacity is dependant on the ability of the cardiorespiratory system to deliver oxygen to cells.
Aerobic capacity is dependant on the ability of cells to use oxygen to produce energy.
The smaller a person's aerobic capacity, the more intense activity can be performed before lack of oxygen affects performance. d

Excercise and muscle
Stress or overload during exercise causes muscles to adapt by increasing in size and strength. This is called hypertrophy.
When muscles are not used, they atrophy, becoming smaller and weaker.

Diabetes prevention or management
Bone and joint health
Possible reduction of cancer risk

Fueling Exercise
Aerobic metabolism is metabolism in the presence of oxygen. Glucose, fatty acids and amino acids are completely broken down to form CO2 and H20 and to produce ATP.
Anaerobic metabolism is metabolism in the absence of oxygen. Each molecule of glucose produces two molecules of ATP. Glucose is metabolized in this way when oxygen cannot be supplied quickly enough to the tissues to support aerobic metabolism.
Anaerobic metabolism is also called anaerobic glycolysis.

22. Nutrient Needs for Physical Activity
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 22

23. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
It is recommended that athletes consume diets with the following approximate proportions:
PROTEIN % ; FAT < 10%; CARBOHYDRATE %
PROTEIN %; FAT < 30%; CARBOHYDRATE %
PROTEIN %; FAT < 15%; CARBOHYDRATE %
PROTEIN %; FAT %; CARBOHYDRATE %
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

24. Relationship of Exercise to Intake
The source of dietary energy can be as important as the amount of energy in an athlete’s diet.
The general proportion of energy for athletes and healthy individuals should be:
45-65% total energy from carbohydrates
20-35% from fat
10-35% from protein
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 24

25. Vitamins and minerals requiring special attention from athletes:
B vitamins
Antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamins C and E
Iron
Sports anemia (blood volume expands to increase oxygen delivery, but the synthesis of Red Blood Cells lags behind._
Calcium
Female athlete triad
Too much exercise combined with limited food intake can lead to hormonal abnormalities
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

26. Over-exercise, Under-nutrition
Low energy intakes and excessive exercise in female athletes may result in low levels of the hormone, estrogen that in turn contributes to reductions in bone mineral density
Amenorrhea has the greatest effect on which mineral in a female athlete's body?
a) calcium 
b) fluoride
c) iron
D) magnesium a

27. Fluid Needs for Physical Activity
During exercise, water is needed to eliminate heat, to transport oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and to remove waste products such as lactic acid from the muscles.
The ability to dissipate heat depends on hydration levels.
At rest in a temperate climate, an adult loses about 4½ cups of water per day through evaporation from the skin and lungs.
Even with regular consumption, it may not be possible to consume sufficient fluid to remain properly hydrated.
Failure to compensate for fluid losses can result in dehydration.
If heat cannot be lost from the body, body temperature rises and exercise performance as well as health can be jeopardized.
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 27

28. Fluid Needs for Physical Activity
Dehydration occurs when water loss is great enough for blood volume to decrease.
Dehydration reduces the body’s ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles.

Regarding weight loss in athletes, which is the false statement?
Weight loss of no more than 2 pounds a week is recommended.
Losing weight during the “off” season is usually a better idea than losing weight while training and competing.
Fluid can be safely restricted if energy is also restricted when quick weight loss is desired.
Severe calorie restriction in young female athletes can delay sexual maturation c

Cold and dehydration
Dehydration may be a concern in the cold.. Why?
Cold air is drier so more evaporative losses from the lungs
Insulated clothing causes sweating
Athletes may be reluctant to drink cold beverages when its cold
May limit intake to avoid removing clothing in order to urinate
