Physical Fitness and Your
Health
Presented by: Mr. Godinez
The Benefits of Being Physically Active
• Exercise, is any physical activity that improves or
maintains physical fitness.
• Exercise daily can keep you healthy and lower risks
of certain diseases.
• Physical fitness, is the ability of the body to
carry out daily physical activities without getting
out of breath, sore, or overly tired.
Stay Active, Stay Alive
• Having a sedentary lifestyle has been linked to an
increased risk of developing many illness, such as
chronic disease.
• Chronic disease, is a disease that develops gradually
and continues over a long period of time.
• Ex. cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood pressure,
type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer.
Physical Benefits
• Improves appearance and self esteem.
• The heart and lungs get stronger, allowing more
blood and oxygen to circulate around the body.
• Building muscular strength and endurance and
also flexibility of joints
• Increases metabolic rate or the rate at which
your body converts food energy into useable
energy.
Mental Benefits
• Regular exercise can help reduce your stress
levels and help you sleep better.
• Release of endorphins (give you feeling of happiness
after workout).
• Increase oxygen to brain, makes you feel more
energized.
Social Benefits
• Increase self-esteem, can relate to increase in socialize
• Provide opportunity to socialize with others
• Opportunity to build communication skills
Five Components of Health –Related Fitness
• Health-related fitness, describes qualities that are needed to
maintain and promote a healthy body. Include, muscular
strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance,
flexibility, and body composition.
Muscular Strength
• Muscular strength, is the amount of force that a
muscle can apply in a given contraction.
• Weight training (resistance training), muscles are
challenged to contract more than they are used to doing.
The muscle cells become larger in response to this extra
work.
Muscular Endurance
• Muscular Endurance, is the ability of the muscles
to keep working (contract) over a period of time.
• As ME improves, MS also improves.
• Both MS and ME can be developed by regular
weight training (anaerobic activity).
• Anaerobic activity, muscle cells produce energy without
using oxygen, (intense and short in duration)
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
• Cardiorespiratory Endurance, is 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.
• As your cardiorespiratory endurance increases, your heart
beats slower and stronger.
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
• Resting heart rate (RHR) is the number of times
the heart beats per minute while at rest.
• Recover time, is the amount of time it takes for the
heart to return to RHR after strenuous activity.
• Aerobic activity improves cardiorespiratory endurance.
• Aerobic activity, muscle cells use oxygen to produce energy
for movement.
• The intensity of the aerobic exercise is low enough so that
the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and blood are all able to
bring enough oxygen to your muscles.
Flexibility
• Flexibility, is the ability of the joints to move
through their full range of motion.
• Good flexibility, keeps joint movements smooth and
efficient.
• Strong and healthy ligaments and tendons allow
greater flexibility of a joint.
• Tendon, tissue that join muscles to bones.
Body Composition
• Body composition, refers to the ratio of lean body
tissue (muscle to bone) to body-fat tissue.
• Healthy body has a high proportion of lean body tissue
compared to body-fat tissue.
• Women > body fat than Men
• Body fat increases with age
• Too much body fat increases the risk of getting certain
lifestyle related diseases, such as diabetes and
cardiovascular disease.
Activity
• Goal Setting: You will be responsible for creating a Fitness Plan for
one week. You will track your progress, and keep a daily journal,
explaining what you did, what activity was replaced, and how you
feel.
• Additionally, you will write a 1 page reflection, typed:
• 12 font
• Times New Roman
• double spaced.
• Lastly, you will discuss your experience with class.
Project
• You will create a Fitness Plan for a specific sports team in school.
• Water Polo, Football, Basketball, Cross Country, Soccer, Softball, Cheerlead, ROTC,
Track
• Reference
• Planning Your Fitness Program (notes)
• Exercising the Safe Way (notes)
•

•
•
Required to attend training, or game
You will be required to interview the coach to discuss strategy
You will need to design a weekly workout schedule
Including routines, warm-up, workouts
• Sets, and repititions
• Draw diagrams explaining muscle groups that are being targeted
