AssessingHealth and Fitness
AssessingHealth and Fitness includes: Cardiovascular, Resistance, and Flexibility Training. It also includes ways to test your fitness level and asses your health.
Training Types - Cardiovascular Training
Cardiovascular Fitness isyour body's ability to get oxygen and blood to the muscles.
Aerobic exercise is an exercise that requires pumping of oxygenated blood by the heart to working muscles. This oxygen needs to be used by muscles for a long period of time. However, Anaerobic exerciseis an exercise that includes a lack of oxygen for faster and more intense activities.
Low Intensity- The target heart range for low intensity exercise is around 40 - 60% of your maximum heartrate. You should be able to hold a conversation during the exercise. Exercises include walking and cycling. Exercisesare slow, easy, continuous, and last over 40 minutes.
Resistance and Flexibility Training
Resistance training is designed to improve your muscle fitness by exercising a specific muscle or group of muscles against an external resistance.
Resistance training should be done around 2-3 times a week. It should have 8-12 reps and 2-3 sets. Examples of resistancetraining include: weight lifting, weight machines, and resistance bands.
Flexibility is the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion. Flexibility helps relieve joint stress, prevent injury, and correct muscle imbalances.
Flexibility trainingincludes self-myofascial release and static stretching. Self-myofascial release is using a foam roller or a tennis ball to release tension of tight muscles. Static stretching is also used on Each tight muscle is stretchedand held for at least 30 seconds. Stretching helps lengthen muscles and relieve stress.
How is Health and Fitness Assessed?
Health and Fitness Levels are assed through subjective and objective assessments.
Subjective assessments identify goals you have, eating habits, health conditions that may impact physical activity, and the amount of physical activity currently performed.
Objective assessments are unbiased information about physical aspects of your health. These assessments are quantitative. They include: weight, resting heart rate, blood pressure, BMI, and circumferencemeasurements.
Types of Fitness Level Assessmentsand Important FItness Principles
One Mile Run VO2 Max is a measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen you can utilize during intense exercise. VO2 Max is used to measure your cardiorespiratory endurance.
Curl Up or Sit Up Test - Measures abdominal strength and endurance. Calculated by the amount of sit ups in a minute.
The push up test measures upper body strength and endurance. Calculated by the amount of push ups in a minute.
FITT is an acronym that stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
The principle of overload means placing a greater demand or stress on your body in order to improve your fitness level.The principle of progression means gradually increasing or changing your workout in order to continue to improve your fitness level.The principle of specificity states that your body will adapt to meet the specific demands you place on it.
