Physical ActivityPhysical Activity

The term “physical activity” describes many The term “physical activity” describes many forms of movement, including activities that forms of movement, including activities that involve the large skeletal muscles.involve the large skeletal muscles.

Activities that involve the small skeletal Activities that involve the small skeletal muscles (e.g. playing board games, drawing, muscles (e.g. playing board games, drawing, writing) are important, but they do not provide writing) are important, but they do not provide the health benefits of activities that involve the the health benefits of activities that involve the large skeletal muscles and require substantial large skeletal muscles and require substantial energy expenditure.energy expenditure.

Physical activity is defined by its Physical activity is defined by its duration, intensity, and frequencyduration, intensity, and frequency

DurationDuration is the amount is the amount of time spent of time spent participating in a participating in a physical activity sessionphysical activity session

IntensityIntensity is the rate of is the rate of energy expenditureenergy expenditure

FrequencyFrequency is the is the number of physical number of physical activity sessions during activity sessions during a specific time period a specific time period (e.g. one week).(e.g. one week).

Types of Physical ActivityTypes of Physical Activity

Aerobic - light to vigorous-intensity physical activity that requires more oxygen than sedentary behavior and thus promotes cardiovascular fitness and other health benefits (e.g., jumping rope, biking, swimming, running; playing soccer, basketball, or volleyball).

Anaerobic – intense physical activity that is short in duration and requires a breakdown of energy sources in the absence of sufficient oxygen. Energy sources are replenished as an individual recovers from the activity. Anaerobic activity (e.g., sprinting during running, swimming, or biking) requires maximal performance during the brief period.

Lifestyle – physical activity typically performed on a routine basis (e.g., walking, climbing stairs, mowing or raking the yard), which is usually light to moderate in intensity.

Physical activity play – play activity that requires substantial energy expenditure (e.g., playing tag, jumping rope).

Play – activity with flexible rules, usually self-selected, for the purpose of having fun.

Sports – physical activity that involves competition, scorekeeping, rules, and an outcome that cannot be predetermined. There are two categories of sports: individual and team.

Weight-bearing – physical activity that requires people to move their own weight.

Exercise is often associated Exercise is often associated with fitness maintenance or with fitness maintenance or improvement only.improvement only.

Types of ExerciseTypes of ExerciseCalisthenics.Calisthenics. Isotonic muscle-fitness Isotonic muscle-fitness exercise that overloads muscles by exercise that overloads muscles by forcing the muscles to work at a forcing the muscles to work at a higher level than usual.higher level than usual.

Flexibility (Stretching).Flexibility (Stretching). Exercise Exercise designed to stretch muscles and designed to stretch muscles and tendons to increase joint flexibility or tendons to increase joint flexibility or range of motion. Specific flexibility range of motion. Specific flexibility exercises need to be done for each exercises need to be done for each part of the body.part of the body.

Isokinetic.Isokinetic. Muscle-fitness exercise in Muscle-fitness exercise in which the amount of force equals the which the amount of force equals the amount of resistance, so that no amount of resistance, so that no movement occurs.movement occurs.

Isotonic.Isotonic. Muscle-fitness exercise in Muscle-fitness exercise in which the amount of force exerted is which the amount of force exerted is constant throughout the range of constant throughout the range of motion, including muscle shortening motion, including muscle shortening (concentric contractions), and muscle (concentric contractions), and muscle lengthening (eccentric contractions).lengthening (eccentric contractions).

Muscle-fitness.Muscle-fitness. Exercise designed to Exercise designed to build muscle strength and endurance build muscle strength and endurance by overloading the muscles; also by overloading the muscles; also called progressive resistance exercise called progressive resistance exercise (PRE). Common forms of muscle (PRE). Common forms of muscle fitness exercise include isokinetic, fitness exercise include isokinetic, isometric, and isotonic.isometric, and isotonic.

FitnessFitness

Participating in physical activity is beneficial to Participating in physical activity is beneficial to people of all ages. Physical activity contributes to people of all ages. Physical activity contributes to fitness, a state in which people’s health characteristics fitness, a state in which people’s health characteristics and behaviors enhance the quality of their lives.and behaviors enhance the quality of their lives.

Types of FitnessTypes of Fitness

Physical fitnessA set of physical attributes related to a person’s ability to perform physical activity successfully, without undue strain and with a margin of safety.

Health-related physical fitnessA physiological state of well-being that reduces the risk of hypokinetic disease; a basis for participation in sports; and a vigor for the tasks of daily living. Components include cardio-respiratory endurance, muscle strength endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

Skill-related physical fitnessCommon components of physical fitness (e.g., agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, reaction time) that enable participation in sports and other physical activities; also called performance or motor fitness.
