  • Discuss the importance of proper hydration during exercise.
    Proper hydration during exercise is important to maintain optimal body function and prevent dehydration.
  • What are the types of performance-enhancing substances?
    The types of performance-enhancing substances include stimulants, muscle enlargers, and endurance enhancers.
  • What are overuse injuries?
    Overuse injuries are injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints resulting from too much exercise.
  • What are the four categories of physical activity?
    The four categories of physical activity are household tasks, work-related movement, leisure-time activities, and performance-based activities.
  • Describe the benefits of flexibility training.
    Flexibility training can improve range of motion, reduce muscle tension and soreness, and reduce the risk of injury.
  • Explain the importance of warming up and cooling down during exercise.
    Warming up helps to gradually increase HR, blood flow, and body temp, preparing body for intense activity. Cooling down helps reduce muscle soreness/stiffness
  • What are some of the reasons individuals get too little movement and physical activity?
    Individuals may engage in sedentary lifestyles, with the use of machines and lack of physical activity at work and leisure time.
  • Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
    Aerobic exercise is using oxygen for moderate intensity, long period of time. Anaerobic exercise is without the use of oxygen,high intensity, short time
  • What are the six components of physical activity?
    The six components of physical activity are motivation, cardiorespiratory fitness, body strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
  • Discuss the benefits of strength training.
    Strength training can increase muscle mass, improve bone density, and boost metabolism.
  • What are some guidelines for integrating physical activity into one's life?
    defining specific goals, conducting research, making a feasible plan, getting a physical checkup, progressing slowly, tracking progress, and evaluating.
  • Describe the benefits of aerobic training.
    Aerobic training can improve heart & lung function, and body's ability to use oxygen.
  • What are the three different measurements of physical activity?
    calories per minute, metabolic equivalents (METs), and physical activity level (PAL)
  • What are some of the risks associated with exercising in hot and cold weather?
    Exercising in cold weather can lead to hypothermia, while exercising in hot weather can cause heat cramps and lead to heat exhaustion
  • Describe the importance of rest and recovery in physical activity.
    Rest and recovery are crucial for repairing and rebuilding muscle tissue, replenishing energy stores, and preventing injury.
  • What are the levels of physical activity for health?
    basal-resting metabolism, sedentary (PAL less than 1.4), moderate (between 1.4 and 1.7), and vigorous (greater than 2.0)
