FITTE | Frequency; Intensity; Time; Type; Enjoyment |
Frequency (FITTE) | The number of times a week you need to perform the exercise. |
Intensity (FITTE) | One of the most important and most complicated factors; improvements in your fitness level will be impaired if you are not working out at the proper intensity level. |
Time (FITTE) | How long each session should last and it is unique for each fitness component. Cardio from 10-60 minutes depending on intensity levels. 8-10 resistance training. |
Type (FITTE) | Cardio, resistance, flexibility |
Enjoyment (FITTE) | If you do not find joy in what you are doing, you will not see long-term success; it will keep you motivated. |
Components of Fitness | Cardiorespiratory; Resistance Training; Flexibility; Balance; Core Strength and Stability |
Components of Fitness | Cardiorespiratory Fitness; Resistance Training; Flexibility; Balance; Core Strength and Stability |
Cardiorespiratory Fitness (5 Components) | How efficiently your heart and lungs are able to deliver oxygen to the working muscle; it has a direct impact on both strength and endurance; base for all activity; keeps your heart in good condition; lowers blood pressure; helps lose weight; reducestress |
Resistance Training (5 Components) | Challenging your muscles to work against an external force in order to improve endurance, increase muscles mass, and improve strength; helps control weight; improves balance and decreases risk of injury; reduces blood pressure; increases metabolism |
Flexibility (5 Components) | Range of motion around a joint; cornerstone of your workout program; can improve posture and make movement more efficient; improves digestion; decreases risk of injury |
Balance (5 Components) | The ability to control your body's position in space. Involves proprioception; improves posture and coordination; enhances movement and performance; helps prevent injuries and falls |
Proprioception | How your body takes the information it receives from the environment and sends it to the brain |
Core Strength and Stability (5 Components) | Responsible for extending, flexing, and rotating your trunk; consist of many layers of muscles that will determine your posture; reduce chances of back pain, improve performance, result in better coordination and balance. |
Water | Helps maintain body temperature; helps get rid of waste; you need to drink the amount you have lost |
BMI (Body Mass Index) | Uses height and weight to calculate body fat mass |
BIA (Bioelectric Impedance Assessment) | One of the most reliable and easy to use methods of determining body fat |
Blood Pressure | Pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels and on of the principal vital signs. |
Systolic | Top number; measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts |
Diastolic | Bottom number; measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood |
Stages | |
Stages in Changing Your Behavior | Pre-contimplation; Contemplation; Preparation; Action; Maintenance |
Pre-Contemplation | Ground 0; no intention of changing; in denial |
Contemplation | I see that there could be changes and benefits but you still say but....; all the fruit is out of seating; conflicting feelings of time and money |
Preparation | You have looked into it; see benefits; small steps -> make a list |
Action | You are doing what you plan to do |
Maintenance | When you have passed the 6 month mark, got to be continuous |
Fat Mass | Fat |
Fat Free Mass | Everything not your fat; bones, muscles, organs,etc |
