Body Composition

What your body is made
up of
 Weight=muscles, fat,
bones
 Lean body mass=
muscles, ligaments,
tendons, bones
 How is it measured?

Hydrostatic weight (in
water)
Health Hazards from
Excessive Fat
 Breathing
difficulties
 Diabetes
 Cancer
 High BP
 Heart Disease
 Stroke
 Pregnancy
risks
 Less resistance to
infections
 Shortened life
expectancy
 Kidney disorders
Somatotyping
 Ectomorph-
Thin-low muscle mass
 Endomorph-Large-excessive
 Mesomorph-medium
muscle mass
fat
with more
Weight Gain & Loss
1
pound = 3,500 calories
 To gain weight increase caloric intake
and exercise less
 To lose weight reduce caloric intake and
exercise more
Metabolism
 The
rate at which food is converted into
energy in body cells
 Differs from person to person
Cardio-respiratory Endurance

Cardio = heart
 Respiratory = lungs
 Definition: the ability
of the heart and
lungs to work
efficiently for a long
period of time
Muscle Strength

The power to push,
pull or lift
 Heavy weights
 Just a few times
Muscle Endurance

The ability of the
muscles to work over
a long period of time
Flexibility

The ability of the
joints to move
through the full
range of motion
Principles of Fitness
Specificity
Overload
Progression
Principle of Specificity

You must do
specific activities to
build specific parts
of physical fitness
Principle of Progression

The best benefits of
exercise are gained
when starting slowly
and gradually
increasing the
amount over a
period of time.
Principle of Overload

The principle says
that in order to get fit,
you must increase
what you are doing
over the every day
level of activity.
Principles of Fitness
Specificity
Frequency
Overload
Intensity
Progression
Time
Frequency

How often you
should work out

For example: Do
you jazzercise 2, 3
or 4 times per
week?
Intensity

How hard you
should work
 In the weight room,
intensity is
measured by the
amount of weight
you are lifting.
 In an aerobic
activity, intensity is
measured by your
heart rate.
Time

How long (or
duration) you
should work out
Apply the Principles of
Fitness to see your fitness
level improve!!
