SLEEPThe average amount of sleep that teenagers get is between 7 and 7 ¼ hours. However, they need between 9 and 9 ½ hours

Resting Heart Rate
Where do you take your heart rate?
1)radial - wrist (base of thumb)2)carotid - neck (in the groove on the side of the neck)
How - 2 fingers (not thumb; thumb has a pulse)
Resting Heart Rate is used to measure improvements in cardiovascular fitness.
women average 75 beats per minute men average 60 beats per minute (bpm)
Reasons why you need to know how to take your Resting Heart Rate~being able to find pulse~know your own personal fitness heart rate~know at what level one needs to work to get heart stronger~so you can determine if you are over or undertraining
![Page 6: FITNESS FOR LIFE. The Need for a Health- Related Fitness Program The Health of Americans is in a state of decline.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfd51a28abf838cad4f5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How to Measure Resting Heart Rate
Measuring your resting heart rate is a very simple process. Remember, that early morning is the best time to measure your resting heart rate. Follow the steps given below to measure your resting heart rate.
•Do not suddenly start measuring the RHR after waking up. Lie down at least for 15 minutes before measuring the RHR.•There are two methods of measuring RHR. One is to measure radial pulse (wrist) and other is to measure carotid pulse (neck).
Radial Pulse - Place your index finger tips and third finger tips on the thumb side of any one of your wrist. You will sense the beats, hold the finger tips gently. Then with the help of a clock, measure the pulse for 10 seconds. Multiply the result by 6.
Carotid Pulse - Place your index finger tips and third finger tips below your jaw, along the windpipe and throat. Hold it gently using the fingertips of first and second finger. Then with the help of clock measure the pulse for 10 seconds. Multiply the result by 6.
To get an average reading, measure your RHR for at least twice a week.
![Page 7: FITNESS FOR LIFE. The Need for a Health- Related Fitness Program The Health of Americans is in a state of decline.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfd51a28abf838cad4f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Resting Heart RateFor teenagers (age 13 to 19), a normal resting heart rate is anywhere between 50 and 90 beats per minute.
Maximum Heart RateMaximum heart rate refers to the upper limit of times your heart can beat in a minute. For teenagers, the maximum heart rate is about 201 to 207, on average. This maximum heart rate is based on the maximum output of a healthy individual; the maximum rate drops by about 10 beats per minute every decade.. To calculate your maximum heart rate in beats per minute, subtract your current age from 220.
Target Heart RateTarget heart rate is the range of heart rate (in beats per minute) that maximizes cardiovascular exercise for fat loss. For fat loss, you must work at between 50 and 70 percent of your maximum heart rate; for a 16-year-old, that translates to between 102 and 143 beats per minute. With cardiovascular training, aim for between 70 and 85 percent of your maximum heart rate; the same 16-year-old would want to keep his heart rate between 143 and 173 beats per minute.
![Page 8: FITNESS FOR LIFE. The Need for a Health- Related Fitness Program The Health of Americans is in a state of decline.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfd51a28abf838cad4f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Usually the target heart rate should be about 65-85% of the maximum heart rate. The maximum heart rate is calculates as 220 minus your age. So if your age is 14 then the maximum heart rate is 206 bpm (beats per minute). Once you have calculated the maximum heart rate multiply it with 0.85 to get the upper limit of target heart rate and 0.65 to get the
lower limit of target heart rate.
Upper Limit of Target Heart Rate: 206 x 0.85 = 175.10Lower Limit of Target Heart: 206 x 0.65 = 133.90
Calculating Target Heart Rate

Muscular Endurance
Is the ability of the muscle to do the same movement over and over or to hold one position for a long time without fatigue.
Is developed by lifting light weights many times. Decrease weight, increase repetition.

Static StretchingStretching helps keep you flexible and counteracts the repetitive movements of exercise. When performed correctly and at the right time, static stretches help you lengthen tight muscles and improve your balance and overall fitness. A good stretch session also helps relieve stress and tension.
To perform a static stretch properly, you should get far enough into the stretch that you feel a slight pull but no pain. It helps to exhale as you get into a stretch. When you're holding a stretch, breathe normally and avoid the tendency to hold your breath. Repeat each static stretch two to four times
When done properly, static stretching slightly lessens the sensitivity of tension receptors, which allows the muscle to relax and to be stretched to greater length.
![Page 30: FITNESS FOR LIFE. The Need for a Health- Related Fitness Program The Health of Americans is in a state of decline.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfd51a28abf838cad4f5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Static Stretching
There is doubt over the effectiveness of static stretching, with some circles of sport strongly recommending against it. Recently, there has been a controversy over static stretching saying that it gets you ready but makes you weaker.
Isometric Stretching/ Static Stretching is often advocated by many coaches and fitness experts as great way to stretch before an athletic event or exercise activity. However, in reality static stretching has been proven detrimental to performance, as recent studies have shown that it tampers explosive ability. Static stretching also augments the joint and can promote instability in the joint, thus making an individual more susceptible to injury. Individual should turn to more dynamic type stretching[2] to enhance rather than hinder performance.
![Page 31: FITNESS FOR LIFE. The Need for a Health- Related Fitness Program The Health of Americans is in a state of decline.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfd51a28abf838cad4f5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ballistic StretchesAnything beyond this range of motion becomes ballistic stretching. It is a type of stretching while moving.
Ballistic stretching is a form of passive stretching or dynamic stretching in a bouncing motion. Ballistic stretches force the limb into an extended range of motion when the muscle has not relaxed enough to enter it. It involves fast "bouncing" movements where a double bounce is performed at the end range of movement. Ballistic stretching should only be used by athletes who know their own limitations and with supervision by their trainer.
This form of stretching may be done to improve limits of a workout opposed to static stretching that may decrease the limits of a workout.

Workout
Is the exercise phase of a conditioning program
Should last 40-50 minutes
Involves working harder the part of the body that one wants to make more fit
![Page 33: FITNESS FOR LIFE. The Need for a Health- Related Fitness Program The Health of Americans is in a state of decline.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfd51a28abf838cad4f5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Aerobic Exercise
Means with oxygen and involves activities that can be performed for at least fifteen minutes without gasping to catch your breath.
Examples = jogging, dancing, swimming, bicycling, racquetball, and soccer.
![Page 34: FITNESS FOR LIFE. The Need for a Health- Related Fitness Program The Health of Americans is in a state of decline.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfd51a28abf838cad4f5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Anaerobic Exercise
(Without oxygen) Activity is performing at a pace which uses oxygen faster than the body can replenish it. This is activity that can be done for a short period of time.
Examples= 220 yd dash, 50 yard freestyle swim.
