Do Now List as many reasons you can think of as to why flexibility is an important components of health related fitness
3
CHAPTER SIX FLEXIBILITY The rubber band theory applies to each of us; we will be no good until stretched.
4
Objectives How is joint movement limited? Why is flexibility important? What is the difference between static stretching and dynamic stretching?
5
Chapter 6 Vocabulary point at which 2 bones come together strong, fibrous tissue which attaches one bone to another meaty tissue surrounding bones soft tissues that anchor muscles to bones slowly moving a muscle to its stretching point and holding the position for 15 seconds stretching done in continuous, slow, and controlled manner joint — ligament — muscle — tendon — static stretching — dynamic stretching —
6
Vocabulary stretching that involves bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements which use the body's momentum form of stretching in which a partner pushes the body beyond the initial limit isostatic stretching — ballistic stretching —
7
What Is Flexibility? The ability to move body joints through a full range of motion.
8
Joints of the Human Body Point at which 2 bones come together Types Pivot-permits a rotating motion (neck) Gliding-allows bones to slide over one another (wrist and ankle) Hinge-permit a back and forth motion (elbow, knee) Ball and socket-allows movement in many different directions (hip and shoulder)
9
Examples of Types of Joints
10
Joint Movement Direction is limited by bone structure and can’t be modified Range of motion is limited by soft tissue and is modifiable through flexibility exercises
11
What Limits Flexibility? Ligament — strong fibrous tissue that attaches one bone to another Muscle — meaty tissue surrounding bones Tendon — anchors muscle to bone
12
Why Is Flexibility Important? To Live a healthy and functional life Loss of flexibility occurs gradually
13
Why Is Flexibility Important? Needed in daily living Reduces chance of injury-a lack of flexibility can result in joint or muscle injury during exercise or daily activities Prevent post pain exercise –by warming-up and cooling-down sessions Increases capacity of joint to move Helps relieve muscle soreness-relaxes tense muscles
14
Why Is Flexibility Important? Helps reduce chance of developing low back pain- reduces aches and prevents low back problems in adulthood Helps relax muscle tightness from injury, fatigue, and emotional tension
15
Safety Precautions and Injury Prevention Avoid ballistic stretchingAvoid ballistic stretching Avoid Using partnersAvoid Using partners Avoid increasing drastically (must be gradually)Avoid increasing drastically (must be gradually) Avoid imitating stretching ability of othersAvoid imitating stretching ability of others Stretch all major muscle groups to include opposing muscle groupsStretch all major muscle groups to include opposing muscle groups Include flexibility with cardio and muscular strength and endurance programs to avoid muscle imbalanceInclude flexibility with cardio and muscular strength and endurance programs to avoid muscle imbalance
16
Harmful Stretching Positions *Head circles *Arm circles *Plow *Sitting Quadriceps stretch *Four-count toe touch *Hurdle stretch *Deep knee bends
17
Types of Stretches Static Involves slowly moving the muscles to its stretching point & holding this position for 15-30 seconds Dynamic Similar to static, is done in continuous, slow & controlled manner
18
Types of streches Ballistic Involves bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use the body's momentum Sometimes harmful because you exceed the muscles stretching point Prioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Based on contract & relax techniques Require the help of another person
19
Principle of Specificity Stretching exercises will improve flexibility only in joints exercised Flexibility is specific to each: 1. Individual 2. Joint 3. Sport

Chapter 7
22
Chapter 7 Vocabulary caused by pressure of blood on an artery wall; corresponds to heart beat heart rate just after waking in the morning, before getting out of bed heart rate after exercise measure of blood force against the walls of the arteries condition in which fatty deposits build up on inner walls of arteries, causing narrowing of the arterial passageway pulse — resting heart rate — recovery heart rate — blood pressure — atherosclerosis —
23
Vocabulary heart rate that should not be exceeded during exercise; found by subtracting one's age from 220 60 to 90 percent of the maximum heart rate; results in greatest cardiovascular benefits from exercise “with oxygen;” term refers to energy- producing biochemical pathways in cells that use oxygen to produce energy “without oxygen;” term refers to energy producing biochemical pathways in cells that do not require oxygen to produce energy maximum heart rate— target heart rate— aerobic— anaerobic—
24
A. Respiratory System A. Lungs A. Increase need for oxygen B. Cardiovascular System A. Heart, blood, and blood vessels A. Increase in heart rate
25
Holds up to ~ 12 pints blood Chambers of the heart (Left ventricle forces blood through arteries, Right pumps returning blood to lungs
26
Why Is Cardiovascular Fitness Important? Increases energy level Look good Ability to provide oxygen continuously to working muscles over an extended time
27
Monitoring the Heart Heart rate is affected by position activity level activity level body size
28
Taking Pulse/ Resting Heart Rate/ Recovery Heart Rate Pulse – pressure of the blood on the artery wall, corresponding to your heart beat
29
Taking pulse – wrist and neck
30
Elderly ~ 50 – 65 BPM Adult Males ~ 70 BPM Adult Females ~ 75-80 BPM Children ~ 100 BPM Newborns ~ 140 BPM
31
The measure of force against the walls of the arteries Normal Range: 120 80
32
Blood Pressure One hour 60 BPM times 60 mins = 3600 beats 80 BPM times 60 mins = 4800 beat Difference of 1200 beats One day 60 BPM times 1440 mins = 86400 beats 80 BPM times 1440 mins = 115200 beats Difference of 28800
33
Blood Pressure Recommendations Blood Pressure Category Systolic mm Hg (upper #) Diastolic mm Hg (lower #) Normalless than 120andless than 80 Prehypertension120 – 139or80 – 89 High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1 140 – 159or90 – 99 High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2 160 or higheror100 or higher Hypertensive Crisis Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed) Higher than 180orHigher than 110
34
Resting Heart Rate Should be taken in the morning before getting out of bed While in a sitting or lying position AHA has established that between 60 – 100 BPM are normal However, people with RHR over 70 have a greater risk of heart attacks
35
The amount of time it takes your heart to return to a normal rate Should drop to ~120 BPM in 5 minutes after the workout session Then ~100 BPM in 10 minutes
36
TARGET HEART RATE (THR) THR zone - to obtain greatest cardiovascular benefits THR is a desired level of intensity Two formulas to determine THR range Percent of Maximum heart rate (60% to 90 %)
37
Maximum Heart Rate 220 – your age= Max Heart Rate 220 – 16= 204 beats per minute
38
Target Heart Rate Formula Safe Low End (220-age) x 60% = Lower Limit (220-16) x 60% = Lower Limit (204) x 60 % = Lower Limit 122.4
39
Target Heart Rate Formula Safe High End (220-age) x 90% = Upper Limit (220-16) x 90% = Upper Limit (204) x 90 % = Upper Limit 183.6
40
Heart Rate Reserve Percent of Heart Rate Reserve- most accurate, takes into account resting heart ratePercent of Heart Rate Reserve- most accurate, takes into account resting heart rate Exercise HR = % of target intensity (HR max – HR rest ) + Hr rest For example: Target intensity 70 % HRR for a person with HR max 201 bpm and HR rest 50 bpm Exercise HR= 70% (201-50=151) + 50 Exercise HR=155 bpm
41
BENEFITS OF CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS Strengthens heart Reduces atherosclerosis Less prone to heart disease Muscles do not tire as easily due to receiving O2
42
~40% of Americans die from it each year The way you live now will effect the way your body is 20-30 years from now Clots (Thrombosis) cause: Heart attacks Strokes http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/giscvh/
43
Risk Factors Inactivity Obesity High Blood Pressure High Levels of Cholesterol Stress & Tension Smoking Sex of Individual Heredity Age CONTROLLABLE!
44
Summarizer 3-2-1 On a small sheet of paper complete the following 3- List 3 benefits of Cardiovascular fitness 2- List 2 places to take pulse on your body 1- List 1 way to avoid cardiovascular disease (Risk Factor)
