Look at your Activity Log Handout (homework) › How many of you were physically active? What are some of the things you did? (Make list on board) How many hours did you spend sleeping, watching TV or a movie, working, or playing on your computer or phone? Did any of these activities make you breath harder? Did your muscles work? Did you stretch before hand?
3
Physical Fitness – The ability of the body to function at its best. Helps a person meet the demands of daily life and have energy Less tired and handle stress better *** Discussion: Look back at the definitions you wrote down during bell ringer. How do they compare?
4
Cardiorespiratory (Aerobic) Fitness › How well the heart and lungs supply oxygen to the body so the muscles can work. Cardio – heart, Respiratory – lungs Examples of these activities are: › Power walking, swimming, dancing… Help prevent heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Lose or maintain weight and reduce stress.
5
Muscular Strength › Amount of force muscles can exert when they contract. Helps move the body more efficiently Support and protect joints and internal organs Examples of these activities are: › Sprinting, climbing, push-ups….
6
Muscular Endurance › How well the muscle can keep performing work or doing an activity. The key is to doing an activity long enough to get the physical benefits. Examples of these activities are: Running, rolling a wheelchair, swimming…
7
Flexibility › Ability of joints to move through a full range of motion Makes it less likely that muscles will be injured during physical activity. Increases blood flow and improves posture by preventing muscles from getting tight. Relieve stress Examples of these activities are: › Dance, yoga, stretching, martial arts…
8
Frequency- how often you do the activity Intensity- how hard your body works Time – how long you do the activity each time.
9
Feel for your pulse under the angle of the jaw using your index and middle finger. › Do not use your thumb. Use very light pressure. Count your pulse for 15 or 6 seconds › For 6 seconds – add 0 to the number Target Heart Rate › 120-160 bpm Max Heart Rate › 220-age
10
Find Pulse Jog in Place for 1 minute How many of you were at your target heart rate after jogging in place for a minute? How many of you do physical activity that puts your heart within this target heart rate range at least 3 times a week? Frequency and Intensity contribute to aerobic fitness To gain health benefits: › Aerobic activities at least 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time.
11
Squeeze fist as tight as you can › Slowly curl fist toward your shoulder, bending your elbow. Feel muscles and contractions. Muscular strength is increased through activities that require the muscles to do more and more work over time ( overload ). Aerobic (cardiorespiratory) activities – use O2 to burn carbs and fats Anaerobic (strength) activities- build muscle and burn carbs without O2. Short periods of time.
12
What are some activities that would build muscular strength? Now make the same fist and complete the exercise 10 times quickly. How does it feel now?
13
Endurance is often the key to success in sports. Training builds endurance by increasing the capillaries or small blood vessels in the muscles so they can receive more blood and oxygen during exercise. › More O2 = work longer Slowing increasing FIT improves muscular endurance.
14
Stand up and try to touch your toes… › Feel your muscles and joints as you do this Flexibility depends on how elastic the muscles and connective tissues (tendons and ligaments) are More flexible - the less likely to be injured Help to maintain the range of motion when people train for strength and endurance.
15
Explore benefits of physical activity (TE pg.79-81) Teacher – label three columns on the board physical, mental/emotional, and social. How does being physically active help keep your body healthy? What physical health advantages would someone who does regular physical activity have over someone who was inactive?
16
Teens who participate in regular physical activity: › Have a stronger heart and lungs (better cardiorespiratory fitness) › Have stronger muscles and more endurance › Are more flexible and less likely to be injured during activity › Have less body fat and more likely to be a healthy weight › Have more energy › Sleep better › Have a better chance of a healthy adult life
17
Teens want to look good and feel good Regular physical activity helps you have more energy and handle stress better Reduces mood swings and depression Physical activity can help your grades by improving your memory and concentration Increase confidence and feel good about yourself Build friendships and meet social needs through team activities Fun way to connect and share with family/friends
18
Log into socrative.com › Room: DHJHEALTH Suppose a friend asked you, “What’s so bad about being inactive?” › Explain how an inactive lifestyle contributes to chronic disease and give a specific example.
