Question 4 Conponents Of Fitness Flashcards
(19 cards)
Define core stability
The capacity of the muscles of the torso to assist in the maintenance of good posture, balance, etc during movement
How does improving core stability do to the body
Allows us to propel ourselves in different directions and fuel energy transfer from the torso to the arms and legs
Helps protect the spine from excessive loads
Explain what yoga is
Slow movement and deep breathing increasing blood flow and warm up muscles, while holidaying a pose can build strength
What is Pilates
A series of exercise movements to strengthen the core muscles while making you more flexible
Define aerobic endurance
The ability of the cardio respiration system to work efficiently, supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity
Define farklet training
The intensity is varied by running at different speeds or different terrains. Mimics game movement
Define continuous training
Training at a steady pace at moderate intensity for a minimum of 30 mins
Define interval training
A work period followed by a rest or recovery period
Define circuit training
Different stations/exercises are used to develop aerobic endurance
Define muscular strength
The max force (kg or N) that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group of 1 rep max
How is muscular strength trained
- low reps 2 to 6
- high weight 85% to 95%
- pyramid set 6 sets of 85%, 4 reps of 90%, 2 reps of 95%, 4 reps at 90%, 6 reps of 85%
- rest depends on person
Define muscular endurance
The ability of the muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance load
Define free weights
Weights that are lifted for exercise but aren’t attached to weight machines or other pieces of equipment
How is muscular endurance trained
- high reps 8-12
- low weights 65%-80% of 1 rep max
- multiple sets
- rest depends on person
Define fixed resistance band
A thick strong ring made of rubber used for doing exercises to make muscles stronger
Define flexibility
The ability to apply a range of movements about a joint
what does improving muscular endurance do to the body
enhances your body’s ability to perform sustained physical activity, leading to increased stamina, reduced fatigue, and improved overall health and athletic performance. perform repetitive movements or activities for longer periods without fatigue
how does improving muscular strength do to the body
increased bone density, and reduced risk of falls and injuries, stimulates bone-building cells, which helps increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Achieving strength goals and seeing positive changes in your body can lead to increased self-esteem and confidence.
how does improving flexability do to the body
enhancing joint range of motion, reducing injury risk, aiding in daily tasks, while also promoting relaxation and reducing muscle soreness.
