Exercise and Lifelong Fitness

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 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

 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

 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.

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

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.

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

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
