Aerobic Wellness
Healthy lifestyle-lowers risk of disease and
premature death.
What is wellness? Optimum health and
vitality.
Six Dimensions of Wellness.
Spiritual-beliefs, principles or values.
Physical-exercising, eating well.
Emotional-optimism, trust, self-esteem.
Dimensions of Wellness
Intellectual- openness to new ideas.
Social- satisfying relationships.
Environmental- health of planet.
Exercise and Wellness
Benefits
Each system is affected by exercise
(cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular,
skeletal, and nervous)
Metabolic Systems
Aerobic and Anaerobic
Homeostasis-state of balance at rest
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Food broken down to a high energy molecule
(ATP)
releases energy which body uses
muscle cells use ATP to fuel contractions and
movement
Anaerobic
“Without oxygen”
short bursts of activity
Anaerobic systems-rapid sources of ATP for short
periods of time
• Phosphagen System
– get going at beginning of exercise
– leap out of seat
– muscles can store only enough high energy
phosphagens to produce ATP for 1-60 sec. of activity
– wt. lifting and sprinting
Lactic acid system
Produces ATP by breaking down carbs
(glucose) without 02.
Energy, lactic acid, and heat are
produced.
Lactic acid builds up and makes the
muscle feel heavy and “burn”. Build up of
lactic acid is associated with muscle
exhaustion.
Exercises-short, intense, and powerful.
Muscular strength, endurance, and
cardiorespiratory fitness.
Aerobic
Metabolism
“With” oxygen
breaks down carbs and fat to produce
ATP(energy), CO2, H2O, and heat.
CO2 transported by the body to lungs where it is
exhaled, heat and water released through sweat.
Primary source of fuel for the aerobic systemcarbs.
Body conserves carbs and uses fat-richer source
of energy(fatty acid oxidation).
Need to exercise at least 20 min.
exercise moderately for a longer period of time.
Aerobic exercises -continuous, rhythmic activitylarge muscle groups.
Cardiovascular system
Heart, blood vessels, and blood.
70-80 beats per minute.
Stroke volume- blood ejected with one
beat.
Cardiac output- amt. of blood pumped out
in one min.
Blood pressure- pressure exerted by blood
against walls of arteries.
Cardiovascular System
Diastolic -heart is filling and pressure is
fairly low.
Systolic -heart contracts forcing blood into
arteries increasing pressure against the
walls of arteries.
140/90 is borderline hypertension. 115/75
is normal for young adults.
Exercise increases blood pressure.
Diseases
Arteriosclerosis-hardening of arteries.
Atherosclerosis-plaque build up in
arteries.
Both cause blood pressure to rise.
Capillaries-delivers 02 blood to cells.
Coronary arteries- nourish heart with 02
blood during diastole.
Exercising Cardiovascular System
Minimize risk of heart attack, improves chance of
survival, reduce stress, increase sense of wellbeing.
Respiratory System
Delivers 02 to cells
trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli.
strengthens the respiratory muscles and
increases the amount of air you can breathe
in and out of lungs ( respiratory ventilation).
More surface of lungs also becomes
available.
SKELETAL SYSTEM:
206 BONES-BLOOD CIRCULATES THROUGH
OSTEOPOROSIS
Muscular System
3 kinds-striated(skeletal), cardiac,
smooth.
Tendons- attach bone to muscle.
Ligaments-attach bone to bone.
Muscles pull not push.
Work in pairs: pulling one is called Agonist.
Antagonist is the one stretching.
Work muscle pairs equally.
Hypertrophy, hyperplasia, atrophy.
Contractions
Concentric Contraction-muscle is
shortening.
Eccentric Contraction- muscle is
lengthening.
Stretch Reflex-muscle stretched suddenlyknee jerk reaction.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Ballistic-Bouncing.
Static-Stretch and hold.
Active-Shoulder rotations.
Passive-Against a resistance.
Clothing and equipment

Toe box, support, arch.
Socks
White, combo: poly-cotton.
Exercise pants or tights.
Equipment:
Weights, Steps, Slides, Slide socks, Body
balls.

Nutrition and Weight
Control
Nutrients - Carbs, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins,
Minerals, Water, Fiber.
substances other than drugs that cause
chemical reactions to take place in the body.
Carbs, Proteins, Fatsprovide energy when broken down. Energy is
measured in kilocalories or calories. Fat= 9
calories per gram, Carbs and Proteins= 4
calories per gram. 3500 cal.= 1lb. of fat.
Protein
10-35% of daily caloric intake.
Builds and repairs tissues.
Broken down into amino acids.
Americans consume too much protein.
Extra amino acids are converted and
stored as fat.
Carbohydrates
45-65% daily caloric intake.
Main source of fuel for the body.
Sugars and starches broken down to form
glucose.
Glucose is absorbed into blood stream
and
used by cells.
Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles
as glycogen. Glycogen is the preferred
fuel for aerobics.
Carbohydrates continued
Two types:
Simple and Complex.
Simple = sugars found in fruits and
refined sugar.
Complex = contains vitamins, minerals,
and fiber.
Fat

Avg.for men= 12-17%,
Avg. for women=22-25%.
20-35% of daily caloric intake.
Saturated fat-hardens at room temp. and
comes from animal sources.
Can increase cholesterol.
Fat continued
Cholesterol=a waxy substance that the
body makes and is contained and
consumed in foods eaten.
HDL=high density lipoproteins.
Aerobic exercise raises the HDL.
LDL=low density lipoproteins.
Desirable level=cholesterol below 200 mg.
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).
