PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TOWARDS HEALTH AND FITNESS
PRICIPLE OF EXERCISE Gradually 1.Progression Gradually increasing the load and the stress on the body.You can view this from both a technical skills standpoint as well as from a strength and conditioning standpoint.In order to progress you need to build your foundation, like your muscular endurance well enough to be considered that you are progressing. Ex. You have to climb the first flight of stairs before you can exit the 20th floor and stare out over the landscape and wallow in victory 2.Overload load i demand To improve fitness and strength, the load/demand on the body must be greater than what the body is accustomed to. This principle works in concert with progression. The body will respond to the load by physiologically adapting to it. Ex. To run a 10-kilometre race, athletes need to build up distance over repeated sessions in a reasonable manner in order to improve muscle adaptation as well as improve soft tissue strength/resiliency. 3. INDIVIDUALIZATION individualized Variation in response to a training programme will occur in a population as people respond differently to the same training programme. Programs should be designed by taking into account every person's unique characteristics, such as physical abilities, potentials, psychology, body type, age, gender, physical strength, athletic background, daily stress factors, health and nutrition factors, etc. Ex. The coach of the pregnant woman planned an exercise that is appropriate for the woman to perform. 4. SPECIFY SPECIFITY Exercise is be designed based on your specific goals and needs. Also known as the SAID principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands). In other words, your body adapts to the specific demands on it; therefore, exercises should be designed to be as close as possible to the specific goals and resemble specific sport movements. Ex. Squat - Vertical Jump - enhances jumping ability driblling drills-Ball handling- Improve dribbling skills 5. REVERSIBILITY Consistency The effects of training and /body's adaptations are reversed if training sessions are too far apart or if there is a long break in exercise you will lose the ability to successfully complete that exercise. Exercising consistently is key to maintaining fitness. Ex.A marathon runner who takes 3 months off due to a knee injury. Over the 3 months, the runner's aerobic capacity decreases. When the runner resumes training. they must begin with a one- mile jog and slowly increase their distance every few days. 6. RECOVERY Both short periods nike hours between multiple sessions in a day and longer periods like days or weeks to recover from a long season are necessary to ensure your body does not suffer from exhaustion or overuse injuries./ This is essential for adaptation and injury prevention, and variety helps maintain motivation and reduces the risk of overuse injuries. 2 TYPES OF RECOVERY Active recovery, a strategic approach that intertwines rest and mild physical activity, serves as a bridge between intense workouts, aiding the body's recuperation process. Passive recovery, which involves complete rest, active recovery keeps you moving at a lower intensity, stimulating recovery without imposing undue stress on the body ACTIVE RECOVERY Walking Yoga Swimming PASSIVE RECOVERY Sleep Massage therapy Hydration 7. TRAINABILITY It refers to the ability of an athlete to respond to physical/ exercise/ and can be measured by tracking changes in things such as maximal oxygen uptake (or VO2 max), heart rate and blood glucose levels. This is our response to physical exercise that will determine on how quickly we see results. Ex. Tim is getting really big lifting weights on a split programme four days a week whereas his training partner Jim is losing size! 2 PHASESOF EXERCISE WARM UP -The conditioning part STRETCHING-Keeping them flexible CONDITIONING-Do the exercise that makes you healthier COOL DOWN-Giving your body time to recover WARM UP PHASE gives your heart, muscles, breathing, and circulation time to get used to the extra work. ✦ slowly raise body temp., improve your flexibility, keeps you from getting hurt or sore muscles. - should be light aerobic activities that based on your body and your conditioning activity. moving the joints and muscles to warm up before lifting weights can prevent injury. RICE -test, ice, compression and elevation. Types of Warm Up 1. Push 2. High knee up 9 squats f. Shoulder Roll.
