One way to check how hard
you are exercising is to
check your maximum heart
rate ( MHR).
If you exercise hard enough
you will be in your target
heart rate zone which is
60 % to 85% of your MHR.
Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
is your heart rate when you
are not exercising
Recovery Time: the amount
of time your heart takes to
return to its RHR after
exercising
MHR = 220 – age
60% of MHR =
MHRx60
85% of
MHR=MHRx0.85
> Is exercise that uses
oxygen to get energy
> Oxygen comes from the
glucose in sugars in
bread or fruits that we
eat
> Endurance exercises
such as long distance
running and
swimming are aerobic
exercises
1) Exercise that is fueled
without using oxygen
2) In this exercise glycogen
is use. It is another
kind of sugar found in
food
3) Activities that use
strength in short bursts,
such as sprinting and
weight lifting are
anaerobic exercises
1)Aerobic and Anaerobic
exercises can be used
together
2) For example, tennis
players use short burst
of strength when they
serve or return the ball
so they are using
anaerobic energy.
2)Their bodies use
aerobic energy to keep
playing.
> Competition: is a contest
between two or more people
or teams
> Competition can help
improve fitness
> Competition can also be
fun
> Sportsmanship: is the
ability to treat all players,
officials, and fans fairly
during competition
> makes competition fun for
players, fans and officials
>Someone who practices
sportsmanship
> Always plays his/her
best
> Follows the rules of the
game
> Considers the safety of
other players
> Congratulates players
for a good job even if they
are on a different team
> polite if he/she
loses and modest
when he/she wins
> The use of weights to
make muscles stronger
or bigger.
> Improves muscular
strength and endurance
> Two types of weight
lifting:
1) strength development
2) body building
> Usually lift more
weights, does fewer
repetitions and does a
different number of
sets than someone
who does not want big
muscles
>Repetition: number of
times you do an
exercise
> Set: is a group of
repetitions
> Two types of
weight- training
equipment
1) Free weights:
dumbbells, barbells
and curl bars.
2) Machines: use a
system of pulleys to
let your control the
weight as you lift it
1) Use a spotter: someone who can take weight
away if you can not finish a lift
2) Lift weights in groups. Take turns to rest
3) Make sure the free weights are secured to the
bar
4) Make sure you understand how a machine
works
5) Do not lift something that is too heavy for you
6) Exercise both sides of a joint to prevent
injury. If you worked on your chest, you should
also work on your shoulders
> Sharp pain
> Tenderness in a single
area
> Swelling
> A reduced range of
motion around a joint
> muscle weakness
> numbness or tingling
> muscle soreness is
normal and will go away
the next time you exercise
> Most adults need to
exercise at least three to five
time a week. However, some
people exercise too much
>Signs of overtraining
* You feel tired all the time
* You aren’t doing well
during games and practices
* Your resting heart rate
increases
* You may get hurt more
often
> Acute Injuries
1) Strains: when a
muscle or tendon is
overstretched or torn
2) Sprains: when a
joint is twisted
suddenly; the
ligaments are stretched
or torn
3) Fracture: a cracked
or broken bone
> Report an acute injury to
your parents or a teacher
right away.
> You may need to see a
doctor
> First aid includes rest,
ice, compression( wrap
with bandage) and
elevation ( elevate on a
chair or stool)
> These steps reduce
swelling and pain
> Develops a long period
of time
> Examples:
1) Stress fractures: a
tiny fracture
2) Tendinitis: an
irritation of a tendon
> Can be caused by
increasing physical
activity too quickly
> can be used by using the
wrong equipment
> Can be caused by
exercising on uneven
surfaces
> The best treatment
is rest
1) Warm up and Cool
Down: injuries can
happen without these
2) Do stretching before
exercising and after
warming up improves
flexibility
3) Do not go too fast
Increasing frequency,
intensity and time too
much or too soon can lead
to injury
4)4) Improve your form:
5)Use a mirror to see if
your form is right; get a
trainor who can tell you
if your form is good or
not
6)5) Take a break:
7)Alternate hard exercise
with active rest
8)6) Wear the right sports
gear: Take the weather
into consideration;
always wear appropriate
shoes
7) Use your safety
equipment: falls and
collisions are common
in sports and accident
happen when you least
expect them
8) Do not exercise alone
Exercising with friends
is a good way to
prevent accidents
