8. DIET Diet- all the things that you regularly eat and drink Diet- all the things that you regularly eat and drink  A good diet provides the appropriate amount of energy from an appropriate balance of nutrients

9. DIET The amount of energy in food is measured in calories The amount of energy in food is measured in calories –Calories come from carbohydrates, fat, and protein Appropriate balance of nutrients: Appropriate balance of nutrients: –55% of calories from carbohydrates –30% of calories from fat –15% of calories from protein  A 55-30-15 balance delivers energy to the body while maintaining its tissues and processes  Must also be sure to get enough vitamins and minerals

13. Is it a healthy choice? A useful way to determine if a food is “nutrient dense” by reading its label: A useful way to determine if a food is “nutrient dense” by reading its label: 1.Hold up one finger for each of the following nutrients which have 10% or more listed for its daily value: Fiber Vitamin A Vitamin C Iron Calcium Protein (5 g)

14. 2.Put a finger down if the food has 200 or more calories per serving 3.If you have no fingers up, this is not a healthy choice. If you have at least one finger still up, this food is a good choice. Is it a healthy choice?

15. Body Weight Body weight is determined by the amount of energy (calories) taken in and the amount of energy burned Body weight is determined by the amount of energy (calories) taken in and the amount of energy burned When the number of calories taken in is the same as the number burned, body weight stays the same When the number of calories taken in is the same as the number burned, body weight stays the same

16. Body Weight When more calories are burned than are taken in, weight loss occurs When more calories are burned than are taken in, weight loss occurs

17. Body Weight When more calories are taken in than are burned, weight gain occurs When more calories are taken in than are burned, weight gain occurs

18. Health Concerns with Excessive Body Weight Heart and circulatory problems Heart and circulatory problems 6 times more likely to develop heart disease 6 times more likely to develop heart disease Diabetes Diabetes 10 times more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes 10 times more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes Muscular/Skeletal problems Muscular/Skeletal problems Respiratory Problems Respiratory Problems

22. Physical Fitness Fitness is the ability to handle the physical work and play of everyday life Fitness is the ability to handle the physical work and play of everyday life Physical fitness is not a singular thing—it involves a number of components Physical fitness is not a singular thing—it involves a number of components –To say that someone is physically fit is to say that he or she is conditioned in all of these areas –Weakness in any of the areas indicates a sub- optimal fitness level

23. Components of Physical Fitness 1. Muscular strength- the ability of the muscles to apply a force –Importance- improved function in everyday life, ability to act in emergency, and performance in competitive tasks 2. Muscular endurance- how long the muscles can go without tiring out –Importance- improved task performance in everyday life and competition 3. Flexibility- the ability to move the joints freely and easily –Importance- reduced risk of injury, improved performance in competitive tasks

24. Components of Physical Fitness 4. Cardiorespiratory fitness- how well the heart and lungs work together to deliver oxygen to the body –Importance- reduced risk of heart disease, improved performance in everyday and competitive tasks 5. Body composition- the proportion of fat to lean mass on the body –Importance- reduced risk of chronic disease, expanded physical capabilities

25. Adaptations to Exercise Adaptation- changes to an organism in response to its environment Adaptation- changes to an organism in response to its environment Exercise is physical activity that develops fitness Exercise is physical activity that develops fitness  Different types of exercise are necessary to improve the different components of fitness

26. Adaptations to Exercise Muscular Strength Muscular Strength –Resistance training results in the increase of size and/or number of muscle fibers Muscular Endurance Muscular Endurance –High repetition, low resistance training improves muscular endurance –Through such training, the muscle fibers become better able to produce energy (aerobically) to keep going

27. Adaptations to Exercise Cardiorespiratory Fitness Cardiorespiratory Fitness –Aerobic training results in increased heart strength and improved oxygen delivery to cells –Aerobic exercise- nonstop, rhythmic, vigorous activity that increases breathing and heartbeat rates –The heart is a muscle, and training it results in strength gains like those of skeletal muscle A stronger heart can pump blood out to the body more efficiently A stronger heart can pump blood out to the body more efficiently

28. Adaptations to Exercise Flexibility Flexibility – –Stretching improves flexibility –Enhances muscles’ ability to lengthen Body Composition Body Composition –Best improved through a combination of decreasing fat and increasing muscle Aerobic exercise is most effective at burning fat Aerobic exercise is most effective at burning fat Resistance training adds muscle Resistance training adds muscle

30. Quantity and Quality of Exercise For cardiorespiratory improvement: Frequency- how many times per week Frequency- how many times per week – –Should be 3 to 5 days per week Intensity- how hard you work Intensity- how hard you work –Measured by taking pulse –Should be between 60 and 80% of maximum heart rate Time- how long per exercise session Time- how long per exercise session –should be 20 to 60 minutes continually, depending on intensity Type- what kind of exercise you are doing Type- what kind of exercise you are doing –should be aerobic

31. Quantity and Quality of Exercise Resistance Training- at least one set of 8 to 12 repetitions of 8 to 10 exercises conditioning the major muscle groups, at least two days per week Resistance Training- at least one set of 8 to 12 repetitions of 8 to 10 exercises conditioning the major muscle groups, at least two days per week May be different for athletes conditioning with heavier weights
