DIXON HIGH SCHOOLPHYSICAL EDUCATION
Unit goals 1. Introduce components of fitness 2. Define total fitness 3. Evaluate individual levels of fitness 4. Identify differences in skill and health
related fitness
Define fitness Physical Fitness: the ability of your body
systems, including your muscles, skeleton and heart, to work efficiently. Being efficient means being able to do the most physical activity with the least amount of effort.
Physically fit individuals have: ability to perform daily activities with vigor. Ability to participate in recreational
activities. minimal risk of health problems.
Effects of a healthy lifestyle
Healthy people tend to…………
…Maintain normal body weight …Have less health related risk …Sleep less …Eat Breakfast …Look, Work & Feel Better …Have more Self Esteem and
Independence
Factors Affecting One’s Health
Stress Heredity Nutrition/Diet Gender Age Activity Level Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco
5 Health Components of Physical Fitness
Cardiovascular
The ability to exercise your body for an extended period of time
Requires a strong heart, healthy lungs and clear blood vessels to supply the body with oxygen
5 Health Components of Physical Fitness
Muscular Strength
The amount of force your muscles can produce in one effort
People with good strength can perform daily tasks efficiently, with less amount of effort.
5 Health Components of Physical Fitness
Muscular Endurance
The ability to use your muscles without tiring
Fatigue resistance
People with good muscular endurance can perform activity for longer sustained period of time.
5 Health Components of Physical Fitness
Flexibility
The ability to move your joints through a full range of motion
Flexibility allows the freedom of movement
Flexibility decreases muscle/joint injury
5 Health Components of Physical Fitness
Body Composition The percentage of body weight that is
fat compared to other tissues such as bone and muscle
Those in the proper range of body fatness are more likely to avoid illness
Extreme ranges are the most dangerous.. Too little like too much can cause health problems
6 Skill components of Physical Education
Agility
The ability to change direction of movement quickly
Good agility is required in such sports as Tennis, Soccer & Basketball
6 Skill components of Physical Education
Balance
The ability to keep upright posture while standing or moving
Good balance is required in such activities as Gymnastics, Ice Skating & Surfing/Snow Boarding
6 Skill components of Physical Education
Coordination
The ability to use two or more body parts together i.e. hand-eye, eye-foot
Good coordination is required in hitting and kicking games such as Baseball, Soccer & Golf
6 Skill components of Physical Education
Power
The ability to use strength quickly Power= Strength x Speed
Power is important in sports such as Baseball, Football & Discus
6 Skill components of Physical Education
Reaction Time
The amount of time it takes you to move once you realize the need to act.
Reaction time is needed in Karate, Baseball & Swimming
6 Skill components of Physical Education
Speed
The ability to perform a movement in a short period of time
Most sport activities require speed
6 Skill components of Physical Education Skill related components can be
somewhat improved upon with practice, but generally are inherent.
Good health does not come from being good in skill related fitness… It comes from doing activities designed to improve your health related fitness!

The F.I.T.T. Formula
The FIT formula is a set of principles that can be applied to all the components of fitness. These guidelines are a means to effectively increase your level of fitness in that area. F – Frequency (how often) I – Intensity (how hard) T – Time (how long) T – Type (aerobic/anearobic)
FlexibilityBenefits 1. Prevents and relieves injury
Low back pain is one of the most common ailments. It has been estimated that %80 of the U.S. population suffers from backaches. Adequate flexibility in the lower back and posterior thighs can do much to reduce these symptoms and prevent low back problems in adulthood.
Stretching prior to activity helps reduce the chance of injury. A short warm-up should be included prior to stretching. The warm-up increases blood supply to your muscles, raises their temperature, and makes them more flexible and resistant to injury.
FlexibilityBenefits cont. 2. Prevents post exercise pain
Post-exercise pain and stiffness caused by muscle spasms can be prevented or reduced by stretching exercises
3. Helps relieve emotional tension Tight muscles arise from many causes-
one is emotional tension. Stretching the muscles in your neck, shoulders and upper back is an especially useful way to relax these muscles.
FlexibilityJoints
Joints are bones that come together at various places in the body
Examples: ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and shoulders
FlexibilityJoints
The structure and function of the joints of the body are determined by the relationship between the shape of the joint and the movement that it permits.
The purpose of most joints is to provide movement of the bones of the skeleton
FlexibilityTypes of Joints 1. Ball and Socket
Found in the hip and shoulder Allows the most movement of any joint Great for throwing and kicking
2. Hinge Found in the knee Permits a back and forth motion
3. Pivot Found in the neck Permits a rotating motion
4. Gliding Found in the wrists and ankles Allows bones to slide over on another
FlexibilityTypes of Stretching
Ballistic Usually involves bobbing or jerking
movements where the body’s momentum is used
Can be harmful because you may damage muscle tissue if done improperly
Usually done when using movements that are similar to a specific activity
FlexibilityTypes of Stretching
Static Stretching fully as far as you can without pain
and hold for an extended period of time Static stretching is safer than ballistic because
you are less likely to over stretch It can be beneficial to those with bad backs,
previous joint injuries or arthritis When participating in physical activity, you
should use static stretching at the beginning and end of a performance.
FlexibilityProper Stretching Guidlines
Flexibility is one component of health related fitness that can be improved rapidly if a person appropriately applies the training principles of overload (gradually)
It is very important to raise the muscle temperature prior to stretching. This may be done by brisk walking, jogging or other mild exercise
Start at a proper level and begin increasing frequency, intensity and time of exercise. Stretch according to what YOU feel, not according to others
FlexibilityThe FIT Principles applied to stretching
Frequency Stretching exercises should be done a minimum
of three days per week. The target should be daily
Intensity It is important to stretch the muscle slowly and
beyond its normal length, you should feel mild tension
Time The length of time a static stretch position is
held is 10 to 15 seconds, and repeated 3 different times with a gradual increase each time.
Muscular Strength/EnduranceMuscles
Muscles in your body are responsible for about half your body weight.
Strong muscles help you maintain good posture and are necessary to participate in everyday activities.
Hormones in female bodies prevent them from developing large, bulky muscles when exercising regularly.(Estrogen: primary hormone for females)(Testosterone: primary hormone for males)
Muscular Strength/EnduranceMuscles
Muscular Strength: How much force is exerted in one effort.
Muscular Endurance: How long a force can be sustained
Muscular Strength/EnduranceTraining Methods
Isometric Contracting or tightening the muscles
but the muscles do not change length No movement of the body part or object
against which force is exerted Examples: pushing against another part
of your body, tennis ball squeeze, push against a wall
Muscular Strength/EnduranceIsometric Training Cont.
Advantages: Useful for people with certain disabilities Does not require equipment Can be done in a small area
Disadvantages: Strength is best developed through a full range
of motion Significantly increases blood pressure No way of knowing if you are working as hard as
you should
Muscular Strength/EnduranceTraining Methods
Isotonic Muscle shortens and lengthens through a
full range of motion Resistance (weight) is needed Examples: Barbells, own body weight
Muscular Strength/EnduranceIsotonic Cont.
Advantages Superior to isometric because muscle
strength and endurance are developed through the full range of motion
Excellent for developing muscular fitness Weight lifting and calisthenics are
isotonic exercises, which are very accessible.
Disadvantage Special equipment may be needed
Muscular Strength/EnduranceMuscles
You are born with a certain number of muscle fibers
The size and performance level of muscles, not the number, can be changed
There are 3 types of muscle fibers that are determined by heredity.
Muscular Strength/EnduranceMuscles Fibers
Slow Twitch Slow contracting over a long period of
time Best for aerobic or endurance activities
(long distance running) Do not fatigue easily
Muscular Strength/EnduranceMuscles Fibers
Fast Twitch Quick contractions for explosive
movement Best for anaerobic activities (sprinting) Fatigue easily
Intermediate Has characteristics of both slow and fast
twitch fibers
Muscular Strength/EndurancePrinciples of Weight Training
Overload: A muscle must work harder than normal if it is to become stronger If it is worked less than normal, it will get
weaker… If it is worked harder than normal it will get stronger
Muscles eventually get stronger and adapt to the load, when the load becomes easy to move it is time to increase the load again
Muscular Strength/EndurancePrinciples of Weight Training
Progression: Overload gradually, over a long period of time Lifting too much too soon will not result
in as much strength gain as would occur if the load is increased gradually
Specificity: You must exercise the specific muscle
you want to develop
Muscular Strength/EndurancePrinciples of Weight Training
Set System The most popular type of strength training
program. One does a particular exercise for a given number of repetitions.
There are 4 ways to increase the difficulty of a strength workout 1. Increase resistance 2. Increase repetitions 3. Increase the number of sets 4. Decrease the recovery period of rest intervals
between sets
Muscular Strength/EnduranceSteroids
Anabolic Steroids are drugs that cause the muscles to become stronger and more bulky… with serious side effects
Effects of steroids Short term (4-6 weeks): headaches, nausea,
dizziness, emotional disorders that include anger, irritation and aggression, increased facial hair on women.
Long term: Liver and adrenal gland damage, rapid weight gain, stunted growth, sterility, high blood pressure and premature coronary artery disease
Cardiovascular FitnessDefinition
The body’s ability to continuously provide oxygen to muscles as work is performed over a period of time.
Includes 2 systems: 1. Circulatory: heart, blood and blood
vessels 2. Respiratory: Lungs and air passages
Cardiovascular FitnessDefinition cont.
The heart is a unique type of muscle not found anywhere else in the body
The heart works closely with the lungs. When you work the heart, you also work the lungs which improves the lung capacity
A stronger heart pumps more blood with each beat
Cardiovascular FitnessResting Heart Rate (RHR)
The number of times the heart beats per minute when you are at rest
Average RHR: adults 70 bpm, children 100 bpm RHR varies: laying down, sleeping,
running, walking size of person, stress, illnesses, etc.
Someone with high cardiovascular fitness may have a RHR of 50-60 bpm
Cardiovascular FitnessHeart Rate
Where do you find your pulse rate? 1. Carotid Artery (neck) *PRACTICE 2. Radial Artery (wrist) *PRACTICE
Your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR): is the number of times your heart could beat and function effectively (220- YOUR AGE)
Determine your individual target heart rate zone: (Lab Manual)
Cardiovascular FitnessCardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular fitness reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease which is the #1 cause of death Strong heart muscle works more
efficiently Exercise helps produce HDL (good
cholesterol) Exercise reduces high blood pressure Exercise reduces the risk of strokes
Cardiovascular FitnessFITness
Aerobic (with oxygen), exercise that extends over a long period of time is best for developing cardiovascular fitness.
F: 3-5 Times per week I: 70-80% of maximum heart rate T: AT LEAST 20 minutes
Body CompositionDefinition
Ratio of lean body mass (muscles, tissues, bones, etc.) to fat mass 10% of children 2-5 years of age are
overweight 15% of school age children are obese Approximately 20% of adults in the U.S.
are obese 5.3 Million people in the U.S. are over
weight.
Body CompositionEssential Body Fat
Fat needed to maintain normal body function The body uses a certain amount of fat as
an insulator against heat and cold Fat acts as a shock absorber and
protects organs from injury Fat is stored energy Too little fat results in abnormal
functioning of body organs
Body CompositionFactors affecting body fat levels Heredity
We are born with the tendency to lean, muscular or fat.
Heredity is not nearly as important in determining body type as what you eat and how much you exercise
Where you deposit or store fat is a hereditary trait
Women carry more body fat than men which is necessary for reproduction
Fat cells do not die, they may shrink, but they are always there
More fat cells can be created during adolescence
Body CompositionSomatotype 1. Ectomorph: a slender body and slight build
Features: small bones, thin muscles, slender arms and legs, narrow chest, round shoulders, flat abdomen, small buttocks
2. Endomorph: a large, soft, bulging body and a pear-shaped appearance Features: high percentage of body fat, short neck,
large abdomen, wide hips, round and full buttocks, short and heavy legs
3. Mesomorph: A solid, muscular and large boned physique Features: firm and well developed muscles, large
bones, broad shoulders, muscular arms, trim waist, muscular buttocks, powerful legs
Body CompositionEating Disorders
1. Anorexia Nervosa: Disorder in which a person refuses to eat normally, resulting in extreme thinness and even starvation. Distorted body image, look like walking
skeletons, can starve to death or die from severe vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Body CompositionEating Disorders cont.
2. Bulimia: disorder characterized by overeating followed by self-induced vomiting, use of laxatives, or very strenuous exercise to avoid weight gain. Repeated actions can cause serious
medical problems
Body CompositionHealthy ways to achieve and maintain healthy body composition
A healthy diet Exercise A combination of a healthy diet and
exercise
Body CompositionNormal or Healthy Fat Levels
Height and weight charts are inaccurate, they do not consider body composition (size of bones, muscle mass, fat mass)
Gender Healthy Over Fat
Obese
Female 20-25% 26-29%
>29%
Male 16-19% 20-24%
>24%
Body CompositionHealth hazards with excessive fat Breathing difficulties Diabetes Cancer High blood pressure Heart disease Stroke Kidney disorders Surgical risk Pregnancy problems Less resistance to infections Shortened life expectancy Lack of energy
