Muscular Endurance Ability to use your muscles ______ without tiring Ability to use your muscles ______ without tiring Measured by different ways. Measured by different ways. Sit-ups, push-ups, bench press Sit-ups, push-ups, bench press

Cardiorespiratory Endurance Ability of your entire body to exercise for long periods of time Ability of your entire body to exercise for long periods of time Requires a strong heart, healthy lungs and clear blood vessels to supply oxygen to body Requires a strong heart, healthy lungs and clear blood vessels to supply oxygen to body Exercise Examples? Exercise Examples?

Types of Exercise you can use Aerobic Exercise- Activity that uses continuous oxygen. Aerobic Exercise- Activity that uses continuous oxygen. –Biking, swimming, running Anaerobic Exercise- Intense physical activity in which the body’s supply of oxygen to produce energy does not meet the demand. Anaerobic Exercise- Intense physical activity in which the body’s supply of oxygen to produce energy does not meet the demand. –Sprinting, weight training

The Workout Should consist of three major components... 1.Warm-up 2.Workout using the FIT method Frequency times a week Intensity % of THR Time...at least minutes in target heart rate 3.Cool down

1. Warm-Up Increases heart rate & blood supply to muscles Increases heart rate & blood supply to muscles Helps you mentally focus Helps you mentally focus Generates heat in your muscles- increases flexibility & avoid injury Generates heat in your muscles- increases flexibility & avoid injury

2. Workout Frequency- How often you exercise Intensity- How hard you work (lbs, reps, resistance) 70-80% of THR Time- How long your exercise (duration, laps, time) As high school freshman, you should work out __ to __ times a week at 70-80% of THR for at least ___ to ___ minutes

3. Cool down Prevents tightened muscles from becoming sore Prevents tightened muscles from becoming sore Allows HR to return to normal Allows HR to return to normal Assisting in prevents injury Assisting in prevents injury Examples? Examples?

Starting an exercise program Set a goal Set a goal Determine when you will exercise and where. Determine when you will exercise and where. Having goals will not only provide you with motivation, but it will also help you understand the types of exercises that are best for you.

Examples? Short Term- Goals that can be achieved quickly, within 1-3 days. Examples? Long Term- Goals that may take weeks, months or years to achieve. Examples? Long Term- Goals that may take weeks, months or years to achieve. Examples? Why is goal setting so important? Why is goal setting so important?

How will this class help? 2 Activity Days: - Development of physical skills - Teamwork (communication, social skills) - Increase in cardiorespiratory endurance 1 Fitness day (TRACK) - Increase HR - Increase cardiorespiratory endurance - Introduce fitness techniques you can use later in life

1 Classroom Day - Gain an understanding of fitness, nutrition and techniques to lead an active lifestyle - Introduce weight room exercises and skills - Develop a fitness plan designed to achieve our GOALS

1 Weight Room Day - Understand what muscle or muscle group each machine works and how to properly use them - Get comfortable and confident using free weights, circuit machines and plyometric activities - Implement fitness plan related to your GOALS

Your assignment 1) Determine 2 components of health related fitness you would like to work on and why. 2) Set 3 goals you would like to achieve by the end of the semester. 3) Due next Wednesday 9/18. Must be typed.
