Physical Activity - group of muscles work or hold against a

- any movement made by the muscles of force or some weight

the body that requires exertion of energy - help build muscle strength
- examples: - muscle hypertrophy
* running - muscle contraction happens and the
* swimming repeated contraction damages the muscles
* dancing - during rest, the body creates more
* exercising muscular fibres and repairs the muscle
* Regular physical activity promotes healthy - repeatedly doing this will make the
lifestyle muscle stronger and bigger
* improves health - push-ups, sit-ups, squats, lifting weights
* lowers risk of cancer, diabetes, (PSSL)
hypertension, and cardiovascular disease - dynamic warm-up to avoid injury
(CDHCD)
* necessary because it enhances our level of Bone strengthening activities
fitness - Bone growth is stimulated by physical
stress through physical activities
Exercising - bone hypertrophy
- More structured and planned physical - skeletal muscles contract, pulling on
activity their attachments on the bone causing
- exercise at home, school, and gym physical stress
- Good for body composition: aerobic, - stimulates bone tissue making it
muscle strengthening, and bone stronger and thicker
strengthening activities - increase bone density throughout the
skeletal system
Aerobic Activities - running, skipping rope, playing basketball
* "cardio" activities (RRB)
* increase our heart and breathing rate - bones support group of muscles to reduce
* sweat profusely and breathe harder risk of falling
* heart pumps blood more vigorously, - not only for bone health, but also muscle
oxygen is transported throughout the body strength, balance, and coordination
(which allows us to sustain aerobics for a
period of time)
* jogging, running, swimming, and dancing
* can be done on a daily basis
* prevent cardiovascular disease,
osteoporosis, and diabetes (CDOD)
* Guidelines
* Frequency
* Intensity
* Time
* Type
