-
The Four components of fitness ( Strenght)

- weight lifting
-
the four components of fitness (Msuculoskeletal Fitness and Endurance)
- ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly without becoming exhausted
- weight lifting,fewer and high repetitions
-
The Four Components of Fitness (cardiosrespiratory Fitness)

-
FIT Principle Recap
- determin appropriat overload
- refers to the numver of activity sessions per week
- intensiyt refers to how difficult the activity is to perform

-
FIT Principle (Frequency )
the frequency of physical activity varies with fitness goals
-
FIT Principle (Intensity)
determining proper intensity may be based on maximal heart rate
-
Fit Principle (time of Activity)
wether the total activity time is an accumulation of activities or completed all at once
-
Adenosine riphosphate (ATP)
- the common currency of energy for vitually all cells in the body
- ATP must be continoulsy generated
- muscle store only enough ATP for activity 1-3 seconds
-
Other sources of energy after ATP depletion
- creatine phosphate: enough energy for 3 to 15 secs of maximal effort
- activities lasting 30 sec to 2 minu we canno generate enough ATP from the breakdown of CP to fully support
- carbohydrate and fat to keep supporting activities
-
Body energy needs
