Multiple Choice

What is fitness?

• the ability to keep exercising for a long period of time

• the ability to meet the demands of the environment

• the ability to be strong and healthy

Learning Objectives

• BRONZE: All pupils will be able to understand the concept of being ‘fit’ and identify how physical fitness components relate to an individual’s fitness.

• SILVER:  Most pupils will be able to describe components of physical fitness and how they impact on an individual’s level of performance in sport.

• GOLD: Some pupils may be able to explain the different components of physical fitness. They will be able to justify why certain elite performers require specific components connected with the demands of their sport.

Exercise

“A form of physical activity which maintains or improves health and/or physical fitness.”

What is fitness?

• It is…. ‘The ability to meet the demands of the environment’.

• Having the minimum level of fitness will allow you to go about your every day life and meet its demands without tiring.

• Fitness is concerned with your PHYSICAL condition.

• Don’t confuse fitness and health. To be healthy means to be in a state of well-being and free from disease.

Benefits of Exercise

• Mental benefits include:

  improved confidence, relief of stress/tension and stress related illness.

• Physical benefits include:

  losing weight, improved posture and improved body shape.

• Social benefits include:

  meeting people and making friends.

Personal Qualities and Exercise

Being a member of a sports club and regularly participating in sport will develop personal qualities from:

1. co-operation – working with others 

2. competition – testing yourself against others

3. physical challenge – testing yourself against the environment or your best performances

4. aesthetic appreciation – recognizing quality of movement in a performance 

Health and Performance

• “A state of complete mental, physical, and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.”

• Regular exercise can help keep people healthy by preventing illness.

• “Performance is how well a task is completed.”  

Health

People tend to feel they are healthy simply when they do not feel ill.

Health is much more and involves feelings of happiness, social interaction and energy.

Open Ended

Choose a sports star or type of athlete (i.e. swimmer).

List as many components of fitness that performer needs to perform at the highest level.

Multiple Select

What are some of the main components of physical fitness?

• Muscular Endurance

• Speed

• Diet

• Flexibility

• Psychology

Aerobic Endurance

• Aerobic endurance is also known as cardio-respiratory fitness, cardio-respiratory endurance or aerobic fitness.

• It is the ability of the cardio-respiratory system to efficiently supply nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity

Multiple Select

Which sports require aerobic endurance?

• Football

• Skipping

• Long Jump

• Cycling

• Speed Skating

Aerobic Endurance

Alternative names: aerobic endurance is also known as cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiorespiratory endurance, or aerobic fitness.

The cardiorespiratory system consists of the cardiovascular system (the circulatory system – comprising the heart, blood, and blood vessels) together with the respiratory system (lungs and airways).

The cardiorespiratory system is responsible for the uptake of oxygen from the air we breathe, the transport of nutrients and oxygen around the body and the removal of waste products including carbon dioxide.

Muscular Endurance

• the ability of the muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance load.

Multiple Choice

Which of these tests is most relevant for measuring muscular endurance?

• Sit and reach test

• 60 second press up test

• Cooper 12 minute run

Open Ended

What does it feel like when you work your muscles really hard?

Flexibility

having an adequate range of motion in all joints of the body; the ability to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of movement.

Speed

• Distance divided by the time taken.

• Speed is measured in metres per second (m/s). The faster an athlete runs over a given distance, the greater their speed.

Speed Continued...

• There are three basic types of speed:

  1. Accelerative speed (sprints up to 30 metres),

  2. Pure speed (sprints up to 60 metres) and

  3. Speed endurance (sprints with short recovery period in-between).

• Speed relates to the rate at which your muscles are able to contract.

Open Ended

Can you think of performers who will need:

1. Accelerative speed (sprints up to 30 metres)?

2. Pure speed (sprints up to 60 metres)?

3. Speed endurance (sprints with short recovery period in-between)?

Agility

•Agility is the combination of speed and coordination.

•It allows you to efficiently change direction and body position at speed.

•Take the example of the goal keeper who needs to have fast reactions and to be very agile. 

Open Ended

Why would it be fair to say a table tennis player needs speed?

Body Composition

• The relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass (vital organs, muscle, bone) in the body.

• It is usually more beneficial for sports performers to have a greater proportion of muscle to fat. 

Poll

Can someone change their body composition?

• Yes

• No

Multiple Choice

Classwork

• There are tests that you can be completed to measure people’s levels of health related fitness.

• Your task is to research these tests for the areas that we have learnt today.

  2. Provide pictures/diagrams

• Above and beyond:

  Using items you have at home, carry out the fitness tests and submit your results.
