1. Meet Mr. Williams III

2. Chapter 4 Health Related Fitness

3. Chapter 4 Objectives
To understand the components of health related fitness. To recognize why and how they can affect your health. To be able to evaluate yourself in each area of health related fitness.

4. Why should you know your current fitness level?
*Helps Determine strengths and weaknesses. *Compare to criterion/personal referenced standards. *No value in comparing scores
*Helps to set personal goals.
*Helps determine effectiveness of current program.
*Health Fitness does not help improve skill related fitness.

5. Health related components of physical fitness are related to your overall wellness. Achieving a high level of health related fitness helps protect you from diseases and will contribute to an overall feeling of well-being.

6. Determining your fitness level
Height/Weight
Resting heart rate (Morning)
Pulse-throbbing in arteries caused by the hearts contractions.
The lower the better
Count Pulse by applying pressure to the radial or carotid artery.

7. Cardio Respiratory Fitness
The ability to perform vigorous large muscle exercises over a long period of time.
Jogging
Swimming
Basketball

8. Muscular Strength
The amount of force that can be exerted by a single contraction of the muscles.
Bench Press (Max)
Squat (Max)

9. Muscular endurance
The ability to continue using certain muscles for a period of time.
The # of push-ups/sit ups you can do.

10. Flexibility
The ability of a joint and a muscle group to move through a range of motion. Good flexibility helps prevent muscle and joint injuries. It’s also needed for basic tasks such as bending over.

11. Body Composition
-The percent of body weight composed of fat compared to the percent that is composed of tissue, bone and muscle.
-Lean Body weight-muscle, bone, tendons, ligaments, organs.
- Maintaining a low level of body fat is key to lowering your risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

12. Evaluating Your Fitness
Evaluating your personal fitness involves
Learning at least one test you can use to measure a particular area of health related fitness.
Know how to measure your results
Determine how your score compares by referring to a chart of health fitness.

13. Vocabulary -Criterion-referenced -Stress Test -Optimal Fitness
-Resting Heart Rate Skinfolds
-Pulse caliper
-Radial Artery
-Carotid Artery

14. Skinfolds Calpier
A fold consisting of a layer of fat and a layer of skin used to determine body fat percentage. Diagram (p.73)
An instrument used to measure body fat obtained by pinching the skin.

15. Criterion-referenced
A test based on public health research that sets a standard by which to measure an individuals score.
Example – Walking evaluation, BMI, push ups

16. Optimal Fitness
The highest potential of an individual to be fit: varies from one person to another.

17. Pulse
The regular throbbing in the arteries caused by the contractions of the heart.

18. Resting Heart Rate
A measure the heart rate after a period of inactivity.

19. Radial / Carotid Artery
Artery on the inside of the wrist
Carotid Artery- The large neck artery that is used to take pulse.

20. Stress Test
A test designed to evaluate the response of the cardio-respiratory system to strenuous exercise.

21. Evaluating your Cardiorespiratory
Cardio respiratory fitness is the ability of the heart, lungs, blood and blood vessels to supply the nutrients necessary for long-term activity.
Mile run and 1.5 mile run, 9 & 12 minute run.
What does it mean to be at your optimal fitness level for cardiorespiratory health.

22. Step Test Determine resting heart rate
Step up on a bench that is between inches high.
Pacer run

23. Evaluating your flexibility fitness
A joint is a place where bones meet in the skeleton of the body.
Immoveable-Skull
Moveable-elbow, knee, shoulder
The ability to move muscles and body joints through the full range of motion.
No specific test can measure flexibility because there are several joints.

24. Evaluating Muscular endurance
Push-up /Curl-up test

25. Evaluating Body Composition
Body Mass Index, BMI
In order to calculate your BMI you must divide your body weight in kilograms by your height in millimeters.
Weight(kg)
Height(m)2

26. Back Saver sit and Reach Test
This test determines the level of flexibility of the muscles of the back of the legs (Hamstrings)
