Why Engage in Physical Activity?
• Physical activity: any muscle movement that
increases energy expenditure
• Leisure-time physical activity: activity not
related to a person's occupation
• Exercise:
• Purposeful, planned physical activity
• A type of leisure-time physical activity
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Why Engage in Physical Activity?
• Physical activity:
• promotes physical fitness
• reduces the risk of chronic disease
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Why Engage in Physical Activity?
• Physical fitness: the ability to carry out daily
tasks with vigor and alertness, with energy left
over to enjoy leisure-time pursuits
• Physical fitness is composed of:
• aerobic exercise
• resistance training
• stretching
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Components of Physical Fitness
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Why Engage in Physical Activity?
• Regular physical activity:
• reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, high
blood pressure
• reduces the risk for obesity
• reduces the risk for type 2 diabetes
• may reduce the risk for colon cancer
• reduces the risk for osteoporosis
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Why Engage in Physical Activity?
• Despite the clear benefits of regular physical
activity:
• Almost 50% all U.S. adults do not do
sufficient physical activity.
• 23% of U.S. adults admit to doing no leisure-
time physical activity at all.
• 31.5% of high school students participate in
daily physical education.

Sound Fitness Program
• A sound physical fitness program:
• assesses your current level of fitness
• identifies your personal goals
• is consistent, varied and fun
• appropriately overloads the body
• includes a warm-up and cool-down period
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sound Fitness Program
• A sound physical fitness program meets your
personal goals.
• An individual's fitness program will be different if
he or she is:
• training for athletic competition
• working toward cardiorespiratory fitness
• trying to maintain overall health
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sound Fitness Program
• A sound physical fitness program is fun.
• An individual's fitness program should focus on
what he or she enjoys
• outdoor activities
• social recreation
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sound Fitness Program
• A sound physical fitness program includes
variety and consistency.
• A variety of activities prevents boredom.
• Fun is an important motivator in maintaining
regular physical activity.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sound Fitness Program
• A sound physical fitness program appropriately
overloads the body.
• Overload principle: additional physical
demands on the body to improve fitness
• Too much physical exertion is NOT
recommended.
• The FITT principle can be used to determine
appropriate overload.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sound Fitness Program
• The FITT principle
• Frequency: the frequency of physical activity
varies with fitness goals
• Intensity: proper intensity may be based on
maximal heart rate
• Time of activity: whether the total activity
time is an accumulation of activities or
completed all at once
• Type of activity

Sound Fitness Program

Sound Fitness Program
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sound Fitness Program
• A sound physical fitness program includes a
warm-up and a cool-down period.
• Includes stretching and calisthenics
• Helps prevent injuries
• May reduce muscle soreness
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): the energy-
carrying molecule in the body
• Energy is released from ATP as phosphates are
broken off the molecule.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
• ATP must be generated continuously since
muscles store only enough ATP for 1–3 seconds
of activity.
• After depleting ATP stores, muscles turn to other
sources.
• Creatine phosphate (CP) stores some
energy that can be used to make ATP.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
• After creatine phosphate, carbohydrates are the
next source of energy for the production of ATP.
• Glucose is the primary carbohydrate used to
generate ATP.
• Glycolysis: first step in the metabolism of
glucose
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
• Aerobic breakdown of glucose:
• occurs in the presence of oxygen
• yields 36–38 molecules of ATP per glucose
• Anaerobic breakdown of glucose:
• occurs in the absence of oxygen
• yields 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule

Nutrition for Physical Activity
• Energy needs:
• may be higher for athletes
• are different for males and females
• depend on body size
• depend on the type of physical activity
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
• Carbohydrates
• Primary energy source for endurance and
strength athletes
• Recommended 45%–65%
• 6–10 grams of carbohydrates per kg of body
weight within the first 24 hours
• Carbohydrate loading
• May benefit marathon, long-distance
swimming, and cross-country skiing
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
• Fats
• A very abundant energy source, even in lean
people
• Provide more than twice as much energy per
gram as carbohydrate
• Spare carbohydrates for fuel
• Moderate fat intake is recommended.
• 20%–35%
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fuel for Physical Activity
• Proteins (amino acids) are not used as a fuel
source for exercise.
• Increased protein needs for athletes
• 1–1.8 grams protein per kg body weight,
depending on the amount of physical
exercise
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Nutrition for Physical Activity
• Maintaining water balance is critical for physically
active people.
• The body depends on water for evaporative
cooling.
• Inadequate fluid intake during exercise can lead
to dehydration and heat illnesses.
• Drink fluids before, during, and after exercise.
• Consume enough water to maintain body weight.
• Training in hot environments requires careful
attention to water intake.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Symptoms of Exercise Dehydration
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Nutrition for Physical Activity
• The requirements for some vitamins and
minerals may be altered in athletes.
• B-vitamins
• Calcium
• Iron
• Adequate intake of these nutrients can be met
with a healthy diet and should not require
supplementation.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ergogenic Aids
• Ergogenic aids: substances used to improve
exercise and athletic performance
• Many of these products are not effective.
• Some of these products are dangerous.
• Reliable research and accurate information
on these products are hard to find.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ergogenic Aids
• Ergogenic aids that claim to increase muscle
and strength include:
• anabolic steroids
• precursors of testosterone
• androstenedione ("andro")
• dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
• GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid)
• creatine
• protein and amino acid supplements
• beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB)
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ergogenic Aids
• Ergogenic aids that claim to increase energy
levels and optimize fuel use include:
• caffeine
• ephedrine (ephedra)
• carnitine
• chromium
• ribose
• beta-alanine
• nitrate
