A comprehensive overview of the key concepts and principles related to basic aerobics, including topics such as cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, body composition, and various exercise-related injuries and their prevention and treatment. A wide range of topics, including heart rate, blood pressure, aerobic metabolism, the fitt principle, the sport principle, and the five health-related components of physical fitness. It also delves into the causes, symptoms, and management of common exercise-related injuries like blisters, bunions, shin splints, tendonitis, and muscle strains and sprains. Designed as a study guide or reference material for a midterm exam in a basic aerobics or fitness-related course.

[Date]
To improve your cardiorespiratory rate you must exercise in at least - ✔️✔️ 60% range (THR) If we are serious about improving our physical fitness, we must exercise from - ✔️✔️ 65%- 84% range (THR) Your maximum heart rate is the - ✔️✔️ Fastest your heart will beat and can be estimated by subtracting your age from 220. Resting HR - ✔️✔️ The heart rate person has prior to exercise, and best if taken when you first wake up. Where are the four main places that you can find your pulse? - ✔️✔️ The temporal, found just behind the eyes. The carotid, located in the groove of the neck, next to the windpipe The radial, extends up the wrist on the thumb side The apex of the heart, (you feel the pulsation lob-dub) What is not a reliable way to take the pulse - ✔️✔️ For ten or six seconds? Cardiac output - ✔️✔️ The volume of blood ejected from the heart in one minute. Stroke volume - ✔️✔️ the volume of blood ejected from the heart in one heartbeat. Pulse - ✔️✔️ the pressure wave felt in the arteries due to blood ejection with each heartbeat. Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO) - ✔️✔️ the highest rate of oxygen consumption your heart is capable of during maximum exercise.
[Date] Perceived exertion (PRE) - ✔️✔️ How hard you think or feel you are working. This is a subjective measure; your perceived rating should provide you with a good estimation of the actual heart rate during physical activity. What is perceived exertion based on? - ✔️✔️ The physical sensation a person experiences during physical activity, including heart rate, increase respiration (or breathing rate), increased sweating , and muscle fatigue, and the Talk test. Talk Test - ✔️✔️ If you can talk easily during an exercise you are working at a very light level. If you are too out of breath to carry on a conversation normally you are working at a high and vigorous level. OMNI - ✔️✔️ 1- Borg RPE - ✔️✔️ 6- What are the two most valuable aspects of developing a healthy body and maintaining lifelong fitness? - ✔️✔️ Proper nutrition and correct exercise. Of the six essential nutrients that your body needs for energy, construction and maintenance of cells, and regulation of body processes, which three provide energy? - ✔️✔️ Carbohydrates, proteins and fats Carbs - ✔️✔️ Provide NRG for the body and he only source of energy for the brain, What is the preferred fuel of aerobic exercise? - ✔️✔️ Glycogen Protein - ✔️✔️ Is needed by the body to build and repair body tissues, to make hemoglobin (to carry oxygen) to form antibodies (which fight infection) to produce enzymes and hormones, and when needed, to produce energy. Fat - ✔️✔️ Essential part of every cell in your body. No fat no life! Minimum for men is 3-6% and min. for women is 8-12% of body weight. Fat is an excellent source of concentrated
[Date] What is the most important element of physical fitness? - ✔️✔️ Cardiorespiratory fitness because under condition s of hard work and physical stress it enables the cardiorespiratory system to function efficiently. One of the main goals of aerobics... - ✔️✔️ to increase the efficiency of the lungs and heart by working nonstop rhythmic exercises that puts demand for an extra amount of oxygen on the body. Throughout physical exercise.... - ✔️✔️ the heart rate (that is the rate at which the heart beats) and (the amount of blood pumped by the ventricle) stroke volume increases so that the cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped out of the heart (through the circulatory system) in one minute also increases. Exercise also increases this... - ✔️✔️ BP Systolic BP (increases during exercise) - ✔️✔️ MEASURE OF PRESSURE WHEN THE HEART IS BEATING a measure of the rhythmic contractions of the heart as the blood leaves the heart by way of the ventricles. Rises as cardiac output increases. Diastolic BP - ✔️✔️ MEASURE OF BLOOD PRESSURE WHILE THE HEART IS RELAXED, BETWEEN HEARTBEARTS. The measure of the resting pressure in the arteries when the heart is not contracting usually does not change during exercise. If it does change, the decrease in it may only be slight. Lungs - ✔️✔️ Both the depth and rate of breathing must increase if the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood can occur sufficiently Aerobic metabolism - ✔️✔️ Energy with oxygen The American College of Sports Medicine recommends aerobic exercise done - ✔️✔️ three to four times a week for at least 20 minutes non-stop Formula for aerobic fitness - ✔️✔️ FIT
[Date] Frequency - ✔️✔️ how often you exercise intensity - ✔️✔️ how hard and how fast you move time - ✔️✔️ the duration The sport principle - ✔️✔️ specify, progression, overload, reversibility, training effect. Specify - ✔️✔️ taking the guess work out of training. progression - ✔️✔️ challenging your body to greater work gradually, working to greater intensity, frequency and time Overload - ✔️✔️ overload by increasing the intensity, frequency. Time of your established level of exercise. Reversibility - ✔️✔️ you can’t store exercise. if you stop there is a marked decrease in skill endurance strength etc, Training effect - ✔️✔️ the gradual and progressive overload your body has to work up to. The result is increase in muscular and cardiorespiratory conditioning. What are the five health-related key components of physical fitness - ✔️✔️ Cardiorespiratory endurance (aerobic conditioning) muscular strength muscular endurance flexibility body composition Cardiorespiratory endurance (aerobic conditioning) - ✔️✔️ the body's ability---health, lungs, blood vessels and major muscle groups to persist in prolonged vigorous exercise. This is the most important part of physical fitness/

Bunion - ✔️✔️ irritation to the toe joint bunion description - ✔️✔️ burning, tenderness and swelling bunion causes - ✔️✔️ wearing shoes that are too narrow bunion treatment - ✔️✔️ reduce friction by wearing a donut bunion prevention - ✔️✔️ new-well-fitting shoes Shin splits - ✔️✔️ chronic pain in front of the lover leg/on side of lower leg. Pain in the shin area *the most common injury in sports. Shin splints cause - ✔️✔️ impacts stress from hard surfaces poor fitting shoes insufficient warm-up Shin splints treatment - ✔️✔️ reduce painful exercise, apply ice, gently stretch the area, and switch to less weight bearing activities. shin splints prevention - ✔️✔️ work for balance in strength and flexibility in lower leg muscles wear good supportive shoes exercise on softer surfaces Tendonitis description - ✔️✔️ chronic pain and swelling in tendons as a result of overuse. tendonitis causes - ✔️✔️ overuse of the body part not following exercise guidelines
