22. Aerobic Exercise Vigorous activity in which oxygen is continuously taken in for a period of at least 20 minutes Vigorous activity in which oxygen is continuously taken in for a period of at least 20 minutes Improves cardiovascular endurance Improves cardiovascular endurance

23. Aerobic Activities Jogging Jogging Swimming Swimming Bicycling Bicycling Brisk walking Brisk walking Jumping on a trampoline Jumping on a trampoline

24. Anaerobic Exercise Intense bursts of activity in which muscles work so hard that they produce energy without using oxygen Intense bursts of activity in which muscles work so hard that they produce energy without using oxygen Improves muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility Improves muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility

25. Anaerobic Activities 100-meter dash 100-meter dash Weight training Weight training Resistance training Resistance training

26. 3 Types of Resistance Training Exercise Isometric Exercise Isometric Exercise Isotonic Exercise Isotonic Exercise Isokinetic Exercise Isokinetic Exercise

27. Isometric Exercise Activity that uses muscle tension to improve muscular strength with little or no movement of the body part Activity that uses muscle tension to improve muscular strength with little or no movement of the body part Involves muscles pushing against muscle Involves muscles pushing against muscle Example: Example: Putting the palms of your hands together in front of you and pushing Putting the palms of your hands together in front of you and pushing

28. Isotonic Exercise Activity that combines muscle contraction with repeated movement Activity that combines muscle contraction with repeated movement Examples: Examples: Push-ups & pull-ups Push-ups & pull-ups Lifting weights Lifting weights

29. Isokinetic Exercise Activity that involves resistance through an entire range of motion Activity that involves resistance through an entire range of motion Increases the flexibility of joints Increases the flexibility of joints Example: Example: Pushing or pulling against a hydraulic lever of certain exercise equipment Pushing or pulling against a hydraulic lever of certain exercise equipment

34. 4 Basic Principles of an Exercise Program Overload Overload Warm-up Warm-up Workout Workout Cool-down Cool-down

35. Overload Working the body harder than it is normally worked Working the body harder than it is normally worked Builds muscular strength & contributes to overall fitness Builds muscular strength & contributes to overall fitness Progression Progression Gradual increase in overload Gradual increase in overload Specificity Specificity Particular exercises & activities improve particular areas Particular exercises & activities improve particular areas

36. Warm-up Engaging in activity that prepares the muscles for work Engaging in activity that prepares the muscles for work 1 st Step 1 st Step Raise your body temperature Raise your body temperature 2 nd Step 2 nd Step Stretch large muscles slowly & smoothly Stretch large muscles slowly & smoothly 3 rd Step 3 rd Step Perform the activity slowly for about 5 minutes Perform the activity slowly for about 5 minutes

37. Workout Performing activity at its highest peak Performing activity at its highest peak F.I.T. formula F.I.T. formula Frequency Frequency How often you do the activity each week How often you do the activity each week Intensity Intensity How hard you work at the activity during a session How hard you work at the activity during a session Time Time How much time you devote to a given session How much time you devote to a given session

38. Cool-Down Engaging in activity to gradually decrease activity Engaging in activity to gradually decrease activity

39. Monitor Your Progress Ask yourself these questions: Ask yourself these questions: Do I feel better? Do I feel better? Am I walking or bicycling or jogging farther in a shorter amount of time? Am I walking or bicycling or jogging farther in a shorter amount of time? Can I lift weights for a longer period of time Can I lift weights for a longer period of time Keep an exercise journal Keep an exercise journal
