  1. What is Physical Fitness? Write physical fitness at the top of a sheet of paper. Then write all of the ways to describe a person who is physically fit.

  2. Physical Activity

  3. Physical Activity • Physical Activity – any form of movement that causes your body to use energy • May be purposeful such as exercise or sports • May be part of daily routine such as washing the car or walking the dog • Physical fitness – the ability to carry out daily tasks easily and have enough reserve energy to respond to unexpected demands

  4. Benefits of Physical Activity

  5. Risks of Physical Inactivity • Sedentary Lifestyle – a way of life that involves little physical activity • Negative effects include: • Unhealthful weight gain • Increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis • Reduced ability to manage stress • Decreased opportunities to meet and form friendships with others who value a healthy lifestyle

  6. Physical Activity and Your Lifestyle • Health professionals recommend that teens incorporate 60 minutes of moderate physical activity into their daily lives • About ½ of Americans are overweight • This is linked to a sedentary lifestyle and overeating • Metabolism – the process by which your body gets energy from food

  7. Elements of Fitness

  8. Exercise • Exercise – purposeful physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive and that improves or maintains personal fitness. • Aerobic Exercise – any activity that uses large muscle groups, is rhythmic in nature, and can be maintained continuously for at least 10 minutes 3time a day for 20 to 30 minutes • Running – Dance • Swimming – Bicycling • Anaerobic exercise – intense short bursts of activity in which the muscle work so hard they produce energy without using oxygen • Lifting weights – Running a 100 meter dash

  9. Find Your Pulse • Find your pulse • Two fingers at the base of your thumb • Two fingers on the neck close to the Adam’s Apple • Count for 15 seconds • Multiply the number you got by 4 • This is your resting heart rate

  10. Find Your Maximum Heart Rate • Subtract your age from 220 • This is your maximum heart rate

  11. Find Your Target Heart Rate This is an example for someone who is 25 years old with a resting heart rate of 75 beats per minute. • Subtract your resting heart rate from your maximum heart rate: 195 – 75 = 120 • Multiply the number you get by 60% and then 85%: 120  .60 = 72 120  .85 = 102 • Add your resting heart rate back to the numbers: 72 + 75 = 147 102 + 75 = 177 • Target heart rate range is between 147 and 177 beats per minute.

  12. Targeting Cardiovascular Fitness • Sit quietly for 5 minutes and then take your pulse. This is your resting heart rate. • Subtract your age from 220 to find your maximum heart rate. • Subtract your resting heart rate from your maximum heart rate. • Multiply the number you arrived at in step 3 by 60% and again by 80%. Round to the nearest whole number. • Add your resting heart rate to the numbers you arrived at in step 4. The resulting totals represent your target heart range.

  13. Bookwork • Review Chapter 4 Lesson 1 and 2 • Copy any vocabulary and definitions that you do not have in your notes • Answer the Lesson 1 and 2 Review 1 – 5 for each Lesson. • Page 79: Lesson 1 • Page 86: Lesson 2
