As result of being stronger, I am able to increase my performance in sports. I also have more endurance to perform everyday tasks. While I strengthen my muscles and bones, it also will help prevent any injuries to myself. Weight lifting makes me feel better about myself. By lifting, I feel like I am benefiting myself in mind, and body.
It's also fun, and according to NutriStrategy, burns a lot of calories - significantly more than brisk walking.” (Bigelow) You’d be forgiven for wondering but stair climbing can have a significant and positive impact on an individual’s health over time. Unlike walking, which humans have evolved to do while burning minimal amounts of energy, stair climbing is classed as a ‘vigorous’ physical activity and burns more calories per minute than jogging. The benefits of regular physical activity are well documented and include: • Improved cardiovascular fitness • A stronger musculoskeletal system •
Being active can increase levels of HDL, the good cholesterol. Exercise also gets the blood flowing throughout the body at a faster rate, which also works the heart. When the heart is being exercised, it gets stronger, which can prevent some cardiovascular diseases and risks. Some other health concerns that can be reduced by exercise are stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls (Mayo Clinic). Exercise improves mood.
The body’s metabolic rate is increased as its need for energy is increased, and the body becomes more resourceful. Muscle tone and muscle mass increase after the muscles tear and reconstruct themselves. In addition to improved muscle tone and muscle mass, there are other effects of exercise for physical disease control and/or prevention. A person’s entire body system, including all the ***** 2 body parts, is in continuous movement when exercising. The cardiovascular (heart), circulatory, and pulmonary (lungs) systems probably benefit the most from routinely
Lastly, exercise increases macrophage production, salivary immunoglobulin A, and increase immune cell circulation improving the function of the immune system. Psychologically, they diminish anxiety and depression, control stress and minimize its negative effects on the body, improve self-esteem, self-concept, and body image, and improve cognition and problem solving. There are two types of fitness, aerobic fitness and muscular fitness, with their own benefits. Aerobic fitness pushes your body and forces it to adapt to adapt to the overload that the exercise is causing when trying to complete continuous tasks. This will later enable you to participate in harder workouts and exercise in the future.
Inactive children are likely to become inactive adults.increased physical activity has been associated with increased life expectancy and less risk of disease. physical activity helps/benefits - controlling weight Reducing blood pressure Helps motor skills Reduces the risk of diabetes Improves psychological well being,self confidence and higher self esteem Develops motor skills Improves cognitive development Enhances bone and muscular development Supports learning of social skills 1.2 - Explain the development of movement skills in young children and how these skills affect other aspects of development - Locomotive large movement skills that allow babies to gain mobility Gross motor control - whole limb movements Balance and coordination control Object control movements such as throwing,catching,dribbling a ball all which involves objects being sent,received,travelled with. Traveling movements where the child moves from one point to another such as skipping,running,jumping. To be able to do these physical skills the movement skills have to be learnt in the right order - Hand eye coordination - this is very important as we need the hand and eyes to work together, catching a ball requires information from the eyes to inform the brain that the hands need to move to catch the ball. - Foot eye coordination - to climb stairs or kick a ball the eyes need to inform the brain that the feet/foot needs to move to
1.2- Explains the benefits of regular exercise to: health of the family, the child’s or children’s growth and development. Health of the family self-esteem--- feeling happy *Confidence- *Helps you lose weight *Self-image- feeling good about yourself because you have lost weight The child or Children’s growth and development When children do exercise it can benefit from regular exercise because if they are active they will have stronger muscles and bones, can have leaner body because of exercise can help control body fat, can become less likely to get overweight, decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, can get possibly lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, have a better focus on life, and if the child get regular exercise then they can sleep better and are able to handle physical and emotional challenges. The Three Elements of Fitness If you've ever watched kids on a playground, you've seen the three elements of fitness in action when they: run away from the kid who's "it" (endurance) cross the monkey bars (strength) bend down to tie their shoes (flexibility) Parents should encourage their kids to do a variety of activities so that they can work on all three elements. (http://kidshealth.org/parent/nutrition_center/staying_fit/exercise.html# ) However if children do aerobic exercise then the heart can beat faster and the child wild breathe harder. So if the child has done exercise for a long period of time then the aerobic activity can strengthen the heart and improves the body’s ability that can deliver oxygen to all the child’s cells.
This is done because it is said to increase aerobic capacity therefore having more oxygen intake as well as the prevention of hypertension and improving cardiovascular diseases and consequently improving quality of life in patients with heart failure or coronary artery disease (Guiraud et al, 2012, p 599). In HIIT, a person is able to maintain physical exercise through bursts of vigorous activity for longer periods than during continuous or traditional exercises and it is more commonly done through high intensity cycling or running (Gibala & McGee, 2008). Traditional exercises or continuous exercises on the other hand, sees a person performing physical activity for a prolonged period of time without rest periods in order to build up their endurance, working muscles and improve cardiovascular strength and increase oxygen intake (Laursen, 2010) leading to a healthier brain with less depression and anxiety symptoms. When a person exercises, different biological effects takes
The frequency of this course was very high for having more than 60 minutes of play for two weeks straight. This is an excellent amount of physical activity for a day to day amount of exercise. It was important to have this daily physical activity, however difficult to play for the entire hour and a half. Even so, it was beneficial because we were able to take breaks and play with the intensity that we wished. With higher intensity came a higher heart rate, and overall better cardiovascular health.
This leads to an increase in the frequency as well as duration of the exercising in the long run. Improving fitness levels, endurance and mental health becomes a less daunting process and eventually a source of everyday
