What are some of the benefits of being physically fit? Heart and lungs are stronger. ~ Cholesterol level is kept within a healthy range. ~ Good ratio of muscle mass to fat mass is maintained. ~ Metabolic rate is increased. ~ More calories are burned because of an increase in muscle mass. ~ How can being physically fit help you mentally? ~ Regular exercise has positive effects on feelings of depression and anxiety. ~Can reduce your stress level and help you sleep better. ~ Endorphins are released, which give you a feeling of wellness and happiness. How can being physically fit help you socially? ~ Being physically fit helps increase self- esteem. ~ Higher self-esteem usually results in people being more social. ~ Working out or playing a sport gives you an opportunity to interact with others you normally wouldn’t. Physical fitness activities are classified into 5 components… CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE The ability of your heart, blood vessels, lungs and blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all of your body’s cells while you are being physically active. BODY COMPOSITION Refers to the ratio of lean body tissue (muscle) to body-fat tissue. FLEXIBILITY The ability of the joints to move through their full range of motion. MUSCULAR STRENGTH The amount of force that a muscle can apply in a given contraction. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE The ability of the muscle to keep working over a period of time. AEROBIC EXERCISE Aerobic Exercise… • The body uses oxygen to strengthen the heart and lungs. • This builds cardiorespiratory endurance. Aerobic exercise burns fat, improves mood, strengthens the heart and lungs and reduces your risk of diabetes. It improves your overall health and quality of life. ANAEROBIC EXERCISE Anaerobic Activities… • High intensity exercises that happen in short bursts. • The body doesn’t use oxygen. It burns glycogen. Think about the difference between a sprinter (anaerobic) and a marathoner (aerobic). Anaerobic exercise helps build lean muscle mass. Calories are burned more efficiently in bodies that have more muscle so it is helpful for weight management. HEART RATE Resting Heart Rate (RHR): your heart rate when your body is at complete rest. Target Heart Rate (THR): the desired range of heart rate reached in aerobic exercise. Maximum Heart Rate (MHR): the maximum number you want your heart rate to get to in order to get the most benefit from your exercise. Why is a lifetime of physical activity so important? By beginning good habits in your early years and making a commitment to lifelong activity, you can delay or even prevent some of the chronic diseases associated with growing older. What does getting FITT mean? = FREQUENCY = INTENSITY = TIME = TYPE What are some common sport related injuries? What is a concussion? • A concussion is a minor traumatic brain injury that may occur when the head hits an object or a moving object strikes the head. • It can affect how the brain works for a while. • A concussion can lead to a bad headache, changes in alertness, or loss of consciousness. What is a fracture? A crack or a break in a bone. Simple fracture: The bone is broken, but the skin is unbroken. Compound fracture: The skin is broken, and the bone may stick out from the skin. What is a dislocation? An injury in which a bone has been forced out of its normal position in a joint. What is a SPRAIN? An injury in which ligaments are stretched or torn. What is a STRAIN? An injury in which muscles or tendons are stretched or torn. It is also known as a pulled muscle. A pulled muscle feels stiff and can be difficult--and painful--to move. The muscle itself will feel hard. What is RICE? It is a technique for treating a joint, muscle or bone injury. R = rest I = ice C = compression E = elevate What can you do to avoid sport-related injuries? • • • • warm up and cool down stretch avoid dehydration choose the correct equipment and clothing • avoid overuse of injury Other Injuries and Treatment What are the 3 types of BURNS and how do you treat them? ST 1 DEGREE BURN Burns that affect the outer layer of the skin and look pink. Treatment: • Apply cold water • Take OTC pain reliever if needed ND 2 DEGREE BURN Burns that extend into the inner layer and are red, swollen and blistered. Treatment: • Apply cool water or ointment • Apply sterile dressing • Take OTC pain reliever if needed RD 3 DEGREE BURN The most serious burns involve all layers of the skin and cause permanent tissue damage. Treatment: • cover with a clean dry cloth • treat for shock • seek medical attention Chemical burns How do you treat chemical burns? For chemical burns, contact the Poison Control Center. Water may activate the chemical, so check before treating. What is a Wound? A wound is a break in the soft tissue of the body. BLEEDING Open wounds result in External Bleeding. A closed wound does not break the skin and can result in Internal Bleeding. Hyperthermia? A condition in which the body’s internal temperature is higher than normal. The 2 most common forms of hyperthermia are heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat Exhaustion: Warning that the body is becoming too hot. *symptoms: cold, moist skin, headache, thirsty, nausea *treatment: cool body down by putting victim in a cool place and offer fluids such as water or fruit juice. Heat Stroke: The body loses its ability to cool itself by sweating because the victim has become dehydrated. *symptoms: hot, dry skin, headache, nausea, extreme fatigue *treatment: get help immediately – life threatening Hypothermia: The internal body temperature becomes dangerously low because the body loses heat faster than it can generate heat. *symptoms: stiff muscles, shivering, weakness, dizziness, cold skin *treatment: get shelter, remove wet clothes, wrap person in blankets or towels Frostbite: The body tissue becomes frozen. *symptom: change in skin color to white or gray, feels numb *treatment: warm affected body part, do not rub.
