  1. Healthy Eating Physical Fitness

  2. To Physical Fitness Nations have passed away and left no traces And history gives the naked cause of it— One single, simple reason in all cases, They fell because their people were not fit. Nothing on earth—no arts, no gifts, nor graces No fame, no wealth outweighs the want of it. This is the law which every law embraces— Be fit! Be fit! In mind and body be fit! This is the lesson at all times and places— One changeless truth on all things changing in it For boys and girls, men, women, nations, races, Be fit! Be fit! And once again—be fit! Rudyard Kipling

  3. Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught, The wise for cure, on exercise depend: God never mead His work for man to mend John Dryden (1631-1700)

  5. FITNESS: WHAT IS IT? • Total Fitness is the mental-emotional, social and physical well being of the individual • Total fitness is usually represented by the “Fitness Triangle” Mental- Emotional Social Physical

  6. Determinants of Wellness MAKING HEALTHY DECISIONS Your behaviour in any one of the ten aspects of wellness can affect your physical, mental-emotional and social well being. You can largely determine the level of your wellness by making the choices that lead to good health.

  7. Imagine that this circle is you. Surprise! Only 22% (less than 1/4) of yourself was determined through your genes. You have partial or full control over the rest. The fact is, everyone has the potential to look and feel great. You need to accept what you can’t change and work to improve what you can. It’s your right and no one can take it away from you—and only you can do it.

  8. The following are some factors affecting your wellness over which you have very little or no control. • Heredity People born with a disease are more susceptible to other illnesses • Environment You may have little control over noise, air and water pollution or crowded living conditions. Each of these can affect your health. • Sex Some diseases are more likely to affect males and some more likely to affect females. • Age As people get older, their resistance to illness decreases and they also recover less quickly from injuries or diseases.

  9. You can lessen the effects of these factors by making wise choices in the areas of healthy living that you can control. By working on you wellness now, you are likely to enjoy many years of good health.

  10. FITT PRINCIPLE Frequency Intensity Time Type

  11. FREQUENCY • Frequency is how often a person performs the targeted health-related physical activity. • For each component of health-related fitness, a safe frequency is three to five times a week.

  12. INTENSITY • Intensity is how hard a person exercises during a physical activity period. • Intensity can be measured in different ways, depending on the related health-related component. For example, • monitoring heart rate is one way to gauge intensity during aerobic endurance activities, but gives no indication of intensity during flexibility activities

  13. TIME • Time is the length of the physical activity. • As with the other aspects of the FITT principle, time varies depending on the health-related fitness component targeted. For example, • flexibility or stretching may take 10-30 seconds for each stretch • the minimum time for performing aerobic activity is 20 minutes of continuous activity.

  14. TYPE • Type or specificity, refers to the specific physical activity chosen to improve a component of health-related fitness. For example, • an individual wishing to increase arm strength must exercise the triceps and biceps • an individual wishing to increase aerobic endurance needs to jog, run, swim or perform some other aerobically challenging activity.

  15. IMPROVING FITNESS LEVELS • Your physical fitness level can be improved by following the F.I.T.T. Principle • Frequency: • 3 to 5 times per week • Intensity: • Work your heart at 75% of it’s maximum capacity • Time: • Keep up the intensity for at least 20 minutes • Type: • Aerobic (long, non-stop activity)

  16. Calculate Your Target Heart Rate 225-your age x 75%

  17. Physical Fitness & Good Health • The three sides of the fitness triangle are: • Physical fitness • Social fitness • Mental-Emotional fitness

  18. Three things necessary to be physically fit are: • Rest • Proper food • Exercise

  19. The most important muscle in the body is the Heart

  20. Our body’s only source of energy is Food

  21. Modern technology has made our lives easier and less active. List four devices used in your home and explain how each one causes inactivity. • Lawn mowers—you don’t have to walk • Dishwasher—push a button, no activity • Auto garage door—no lifting, stay in car • Cars, escalators—ride instead of walk

  22. Briefly describe four things that happen to our bodies when we become inactive. • Heart gets weaker • Capillaries shrink • Muscle fibres shrink • Less food & oxygen to muscles GAIN WEIGHT!!!
