1 Exercise and Lifelong Fitness

2  Cardiovascular system:  Heart & blood vessels benefit most from physical activity  Stronger the heart, less effort is required to pump blood throughout the body

3  Weight Maintenance  Active metabolism makes it easier to reamain at a healthy weight  Reduce Chance of:  Diabetes  Heart Disease  Certain Cancers

4  Bone Strength  Include weight bearing activities  Makes bones stronger and more dense  Reduces risk of developing osteoporosis  Jump rope, walk, etc.

5  Balance and Coordination  Regular activity will help improve this  Reduce risk of injury

6  Release of ENDORPHINES  Chemicals that block pain messages from reaching brain cells  Responsible for feelings of satisfaction and pleasure after a good workout

7  Have fun  Bond with friends and family  Build new relationships

8  Cardiorespiratory Endurance  Muscular Strength  Muscular Endurance  Flexibility  Body Composition

9  Cardiorespiratory Endurance-  Heart, blood vessels and lungs  Nutrients and Oxygen  Remove waste  Muscular Stength-  Ability of muscle to produce force  Max Lift (one)  Exerting muscles for short periods of time  Pushups

10  Muscular Endurance-  Extended period of time  How many times can you lift (reps)  Repeated actions over time  Flexibility-  Move a joint through its entire range of motion  Bend, twist, stretch

11  Body Composition-  Gain weight as you begin to workout because you are gaining muscle  The amount of fat tissue in your body compared to the amount of lean tissue, such as muscles and bones.

12  Aerobic Exercise  Anaerobic Exercise  Isometric Exercise  Isotonic Exercise  Isokentic Exercise

13 AEROBIC EXERCISEANAEROBIC EXERCISE  Ongoing physical activity that raises breathing rate and heart rate.  Increase in the amount of oxygen that your body takes in and uses  Swimming, running, etc.  Intense physical activity that lasts for a few seconds to minutes  Lifting weights, pushups  Develop musical strength, endurance or flexibility.

14 ISOMETRIC EXERCISEISOTONIC EXERCISE  Muscles contract with very little body movement (Hands together and push)  Contracting and relaxing muscles through the full range of a joins motion  Pullups

15 ISOKENTIC EXERCISE  Muscles contract at a constant rate  Require fitness machines that provide resistance to muscle movement  Therapy to rebuild muscle strength after and injury
