  5. Family Medical History and Environment Lifestyle Choices –Choices made daily; of how to treat the body and mind • Examples: what we eat, and when to exercise Section 1

  6. Family Medical History and Environment Heredity- In some people the tendency to develop certain diseases may be common within in a family. - Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco and other substances can still reduce the person’s risk Section 1

  7. Family Medical History and Environment Environment- This includes infectious diseases caused by pollution of the air, water, and food. - Environmental impacts include physical, social, and cultural environmental factors.

  8. Chronological Age vs. Physiological Age Chronological age - is your age measured in years from date of birth Physiological age - is your age as estimated from the body’s health and probable life expectancy

  9. 5 Factors that Influence Physiological Age: • Get 8-9 hours of sleep each night • Eat regular, nutritious meals, including breakfast • Engage in regular physical activity • Avoid the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. • Maintain a healthy body weight.

  10. Components of Physical Fitness

  11. Muscular Strength • The maximal force generated by a specific muscle group • The more muscularly fit we are , the less energy it will take to perform everyday tasks • Other Benefits: Stronger Bones, Improved appearance, increased metabolism, and women tend to have easier pregnancy

  12. Muscular Endurance • The ability of a muscle group to execute repeated contractions over a period time, or to statically hold a resistance for a prolonged period of time

  13. Body Composition • The % of body weight that is composed of fat to that composed of lean muscle

  14. Muscular Flexibility • The maximum ability to move a joint through a range of motion

  15. Cardiovascular Endurance • The ability to perform large muscle, dynamic moderate to high intensity exercise for prolonged periods.

  16. 5 Components of Physical Fitness • Each component is separate and has a direct relationship to good health • They also reduce the risk of developing certain lifestyle diseases • An appropriate and regular exercise program can influence every component of health related fitness

  17. F.I.T.T. Principle Muscular Strength & Endurance • What is the F.I.T.T. Principle? • What questions do you need to ask yourself before you begin training?

  18. F.I.T.T. Principle • The FITT principle stands for: • F- Frequency “How often?” • I- Intensity “How Hard?” • T- Time “How long/Sets/Reps?” • T- Type “What kind of exercises?” • Other questions to be considered before beginning training: • Do you want to develop strength or muscular endurance? • What type of equipment do you need/have? • Are you a beginner/intermediate/high level of fitness? • How is your overall health? Any restrictions? • What is your Target Heart Rate?

  19. Target Heart Rate • Resting Heart Rate: 60-90 BPM • Maximum Heart Rate: 220- Age= MHR • Target Heart Rate Zone: 220 – Age * .50 – Lower End Ex. 220-34* .50= 93 220- Age * .70 – Upper End Ex. 220-34* .70= 130

  20. Obstacles to Change 3 General Areas: • Competence- The person lacks needed knowledge or skill to make the change • Confidence- The person has the needed knowledge but believes that making a change is beyond the scope or his/her ability • Motivation- The person possesses both competence and confidence, but lacks sufficient reason to change Section 3

  21. Smart Model of Goal Setting • Specific - A vague goal only has a slim chance of ever being realized. • Measurable - A specific goal can be measured by answering questions that begin with 'how'. How much? How many? How long? • Attainable - Setting challenging goals will make you grow. It will boost your self-esteem and create confidence. An attainable goal must be within the realm of reason - challenging, but reasonable. • Realistic - A realistic goal is something that is realistic for you. You define what is realistic or not. The way to define what is realistic for you is to ask yourself if you are both willing and able to work persistently and tenaciously toward this goal. • Timely - Your goal has to have a start and an end date. Without these boundaries around your goal, procrastination, the arch enemy of achievement, will sabotage your best efforts to attain a good goal. Section 3
