  • Aerobics Packet # 22
    AEROBICS PACKET # 22 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and appreciation of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Aerobic exercise conditions the cardiovascular system and improves performance in sports that require endurance, such as running and jogging. By conditioning the cardiovascular system, aerobics contributes to overall health and enhances the ability to use oxygen. Perhaps the best way to describe how aerobics works is to explain how exercise improves the body’s ability to perform. Depending on which exercises you do, you may develop strength, endurance, stamina or power. However, as all sports trainers know, exercise is “specific,” which means that specific exercises produce specific results. For example, exercises designed strictly to improve strength will not do much to improve your endurance. On the other hand, if you train for endurance alone (for example, by doing only long-distance running), you will not improve your strength significantly. This is why you often see runners who couldn’t bench press 200 pounds if their lives depended on it, and champion powerlifters who get out of breath just running across the street. HISTORY OF AEROBICS Aerobic activity has been around since warm-blooded animals first started running from predators. But “aerobics” as a popular type of exercise activity came into international Physical Education Learning Packets #22 Aerobics Text © 2008 The Advantage Press, Inc.

OCT. 2019 We All Need to Stay Active “Don’t lie down when you can sit—Don’t sit when you can stand—Don’t stand when you can move.” Laurence E Morehouse Few things are more important as we move through the different stages of life than good health.

  • PE Fitness Components.Pdf
    The 5 Fitness Components 1. Cardiovascular (aerobic) – Cardiovascular fitness is how efficient the heart, lungs and blood vessels work during activity. 2. Muscular Endurance – How long you can sustain activities like: sit- ups, push-ups, rowing, running uphill and other muscle building exercises is muscular endurance. 3. Flexibility – The range of motion of your joints and muscles and your ability to stretch is flexibility. 4. Muscular strength – How much hard work your muscles can do and how explosive and quick you are is muscular strength 5. Body composition (fat to muscle ratio) – Your body should have a high percent of muscle and a low percent of fat to be healthy. CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS - AEROBICS (means with oxygen) Aerobic exercise would be any large muscle movement done in a continuous and repetitive way for a long period of time. It is recommended that the exercises continue for at least 20 minutes at a pace, which raises the heart rate 60% to 80% of the maximum heart rate (MHR) and the increases respiration. The FIT (frequency, intensity, time) principle for an aerobic workout is: F (frequency) – exercise 3 to 5 times a week I (intensity) – keep your heart rate at about 60% - 80% of MHR T (time)– Exercise continuously for 20 minutes Cardiovascular exercise is the most important to maintain weight and health. DIFFERENT TYPES OF AEROBIC EXERCISE Aerobic exercises can be running or jogging, walking briskly, swimming laps, bicycling, dancing, rope jumping, stair climbing, playing handball, racket ball, squash, basketball, soccer, or interval training.

  • 6Th GRADE AEROBIC STUDY GUIDE
    6th GRADE AEROBIC STUDY GUIDE HISTORY • At first, aerobic exercises included activities such as running, walking and bicycling. Over the years, aerobic programs such as dance aerobics, water aerobics and step aerobics were introduced. Aerobics continue to evolve and popular forms include yoga, cardio-kickboxing, palaties, and taebo. TAKING YOUR PULSE • Taking your pulse regularly during exercise helps to know how hard you are working. • There are many locations on the human body where your pulse can be felt. Your pulse is the pressure wave of blood that is generated when your heart muscles contract. • It reflects the rhythm, rate and strength of your heart's contractions. You can feel your pulse anywhere that an artery (a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart) crosses over a bone and is close to the skin's surface. *Resting heart rate is affected by: 1. age 2. gender (men are lower usually) 3. physical fitness 4. some drugs/medication 5. genetics 6. anxiety FITNESS CONCEPTS Components of Physical Fitness: 1. Body composition – A ratio used to describe the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in human bodies. 2. Flexibility – The ability to move a body part through a full range of motion. 3. Muscular strength – The amount of force a muscle can exert. 4. Muscular endurance – The ability of muscle to do difficult physical tasks over a period of time without fatigue. 5. Cardiovascular endurance (what we are doing in aerobics) – The ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels to send fuel and oxygen to the body’s tissues during long periods of activity.
