Fitness Vocabulary  Fold your paper “Hot Dog” style  Tear 5 folds.  Write the following terms on the outside of each flap. 1. Obesity 2. Basal Metabolic Rate, 3. Sedentary 4. Aerobic Exercise 5. Anaerobic Exercise.

Fitness Vocabulary  Obesity: Body weight that is 20% or more over desirable weight.  Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): The number of calories the body uses at rest. Metabolism.  Sedentary: Inactive lifestyle  Aerobic Exercise: Vigorous, rhythmic that improves cardio-respiratory endurance and body composition.  Anaerobic Exercise: Exercise in which the body’s demand for oxygen is greater than what is available during exertion.

Components of Fitness  1. Flexibility: The range of movement of the joints.  2. Muscle Strength: The ability to exert force against resistance. (The greatest amount of work your muscles can exert at a given time).  3. Muscle Endurance: The ability of muscles to keep working over a period of time without causing fatigue. causing fatigue.

Components of Fitness  Cardiorespiratory Endurance: The ability of the heart and lungs to deliver needed oxygen to the body during exercise.  Quickly return to resting rate.

Body Composition What is Body Composition?  Body Composition is the percent of fat to lean muscle, bones, connective tissue, and water in the body.  (Fat: Non-fat components)

How is Body Comp Tested?  1. Using the “Body Mass Index” BMI.  This is only based on height and weight chart.  Ineffective because muscle density is not used or considered when tested.

How is body comp tested…  2. The “Skinfold Measurement” consists  of: CALIPER the device used to measure the skin. –3-9 sites on the body are tested for the thickness of skin. –More accurate than the BMI

How is body comp tested… 3. Hydrostatic Weighing  First, the dry weight is determined, then the subject is submerged in water, exhales out, and water weight is determined.  Most accurate way to calculate body composition.

The 3 Body Types  Ectomorph: Tend to have a delicate and fragile body frame. Bones are light, joints are small, and muscles slight. The limbs and torso tend to be long and lean.  Examples: Kate Moss, Lisa Kudrow, and Seth Green.

Body Types continued..  Mesomorph: has well-defined muscles and large bones. Their bodies tend to be muscular and athletic.  Mesomorphs are able to gain muscle easily.  Ex.: Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stalone.

Body Types Continued…  Endomorph: Body tends to be round and soft (lacking muscle). Weight tends to be carried in the abdominal area.  Examples: John Goodman, Roseanne, and Jack Black, Bob Akers.

FIT or FAT  In order to survive and have proper body function, a person Must have fat on their body.  What is “Percent body fat”?  The percentage of the total body that is Fat.

Where does body fat come from?  Fat is produced by the body when an excess intake of calories occurs.  Calories taken into the body first go to the body’s overall maintenance and it’s current level of physical activity. The excess energy is stored in the form of body fat.

How do you lose excess fat?  By burning more energy than an individual is in-taking.  The extra stored energy (fat) in the body will be broken down for physical activity.

Why do gains in weight always seem to go to the same place?  A person’s body deposits fat according to their genetic code.  Women typically store fat in thighs, waist, and hips.  Men typically store fat in their abdomen.

Essential Fat  Required for normal physiological functioning. It consists of fat stored in bone marrow, heart, lungs, liver, etc. (9% more in women for birth)

Storage Fat  Accumulated in adipose tissue and acts as an insulator for heat provides energy for metabolism, and adds protection and padding for organs.
