Get fit stay well ch. 2
FITT formula
A formula for designing a safe and effective program that specifies frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise
6 skill-related components of fitness
Agility, Balance, coordination, power, speed, reation time
physcial activity
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in an expenditure of energy.
overtraining
Excessive volume and intensity of physical training leading to diminished health, fitness, and performance.
excercise
Physical activity that is planned or structured, done to improve or maintain one or more of the components of fitness.
range-of-motion
The movement limits that limbs have around a specific joint
5 health-related components of physical fitness
cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition
principles of fitness
general principles of exercise adaptation that guide fitness programming
speed
the ability to perform a movement in a short period of time
balance
the maintenance of equilibrium while you are stationary or moving
progression
A gradual increase in a training program's intensity, frequency, and/or time.
physical fitness
A set of attributes that relate to one's ability to perform moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity without undue fatigue.
barriers to physical activity
Personal or environmental issues that hinder your participation in regular physical activity
individuality
Refers to the variable nature of physical activity dose-response or adaptations in different persons.
internal exercise rewards
Rewards for exercise that are based upon how one is feeling physically and mentally (sense of accomplishment, relaxation, increased self-esteem).
external exercise rewards
Rewards for exercise that come from outside of a person (trophy, compliment, day at the spa).
overload
Subjecting the body or body system to more physical activity than it is accustomed to.
rest and recovery
Taking a short time off from physical activities to allow the body to recuperate and improve
specificity
The principle that only the body systems worked during training will show adaptations.
reversibility
The principle that training adaptations will revert toward initial levels when training is stopped.
mode
The specific type of exercise performed
MET
The standard metabolic equivalent used to estimate the amount of energy (oxygen) used by the body during physical activity; 1 MET = resting or sitting quietly
agility
the ability to rapidly change the position of your body with speed and accuracy
coordination
the ability to use both your senses and your body to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately
power
the ablility to perform work or contract muscles with high force quickly
reaction time
the time between a stimulus and the initiation of your physical reaction to that stimulus
