Health Chapter 12 Lessons 1 and 2

It is motion at a steady speed that provides resistance against a muscle

isokinetic exercise

It's lacking movement, but improves muscle tension

isometric exercise

It's an improvement of strength and/or flexibility through the contraction of muscles and the movement of joints

isotonic exercise

the body's usage of energy through a type of movement.

Physical activity

What are the benefits of "weight-bearing" exercises?

They reduce fatigue, improve muscular strength and endurance, and boost metabolism, resulting in weight control

Name 8 potential problems associated with an inactive (sedentary) lifestyle.

Type II diabetes, Obesity and unhealthy weight gain, Premature death, certain cancers, asthma and other breathing problems, Cardiovascular disease ( e.g. stroke and heart attack), psychological problems (e.g. anxiety, depression, and stress), and osteoporosis

When large muscle groups are used for extended periods of time during rhythmic activities. It improves cardiovascular endurance, we control, and reduces risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, type II diabetes, and other risks involved in being overweight

aerobic exercise

Activity where muscle performs with produced energy instead of oxygen during sudden and quick amounts of activity. It improves muscular strength and endurance

anaerobic exercise

The amount of lean tissue in comparison to the amount of fat

body composition

Being physically active benefits the mental/emotional benefit of improved self-esteem by...

boosting confidence, appearance, and the way you feel

The hearts ability of sending oxygen and energy during vigorous or moderate activity to the tissues

cardiorespiratory endurance

Name four ways that physical activity can help improve your social health

develop and sustain friendships, develop leadership skills (in e.g. teamwork), develop confidence, and manage stress

planned and structured to a certain form of fitness; done on a repetitive or regular basis

exercise

The ability of body parts to move in all possible positions

flexibility

Being physically active benefits the mental/emotional benefit of stress relief by...

increasing relaxation and well being and reducing pain and muscle tension that comes as a result of endorphins produced by activity

Being physically active benefits the mental/emotional benefit of better sleep by...

making it easier to sleep and relax, which comes as a result of activity several hours prior

The muscles ability to perform before 'tiring out'

muscular endurance

Total possible force exerted from muscles

muscular strength

Being physically active benefits the mental/emotional benefit of mood enhancement by...

Being physically active benefits the mental/emotional benefit of organization by...

practicing making time for activity, which helps you improve your mental/organization skills

What are the benefits of physical activity?

what are the mental/emotional benefits of being physically active?

stress relief, mood enhancement, better sleep, improved self-esteem, and organization

How will your target heart range for physical activity change as you grow older? Explain why.

Our target heart range will change as we get older, as our hearts will become slightly bigger and pump a little bit faster. As we age however, our heart rate will slow down

What are the benefits of having good flexibility?

Good flexibility provides less pain and the ability to perform more physical activity. It reduces risks of injury and muscle strain

How does physical activity benefit the cardiovascular system?

Improves bloodflow by strengthening the heart muscle; lowers artery clogging cholesterol and blood

How does physical activity benefit the respiratory system?

It allows you to do more physical activities easily by increasing your lungs efficiency

How does physical activity benefit your musculoskeletal system?

It strengthens muscles and bones, preventing fragile bones in the older years. It also can help improve cordination and balance

How many minutes of activity should you try to get each day?

60 minutes of daily physical activity

Name the five elements of fitness

Cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition
