Furthermore by having developed attributes in speed, strength, power, endurance, co-ordination, balance, body control, flexibility or agility would thus have a direct implication on someone’s work capacity or performance. Kilgore et al look at how through the ages the definition becomes skewed, simplified then eventually over elaborated to the point of un-recognition of what fitness actually is to the everyday person. The intro to this book basically aims at shrinking down and peeling back all the jargon of the latest definition from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) into something more simplistic and understandable. Fitness “Possession of adequate levels of strength, endurance, and mobility to provide for successful participation in the occupational effort, recreational pursuits, familial obligation, and that is consistent with functional phenotypic expression of the human genotype.” (FIT: An unconventional guide to using conventional methods for creating fitness for the real world, 2011) Kilgore et al used many differing data collection methods but based the majority of the findings from books in strength training, power lifting and weightlifting books. Within those books there is a range of qualitative and quantitative research evidence filtered into this book, as well as photo analysis which is shown throughout giving clear precise information and images to back the overall
Fitness has grown to a multibillion dollar industry. The idea of fitness has influenced millions of lives whether the correlation was as a career, lifestyle, or an occasional hobby. People globally compete in bodybuilding, physique, and powerlifting meets earning thousands of dollars depending on their successes. Though they seem pointless at first, even the sixty second long infomercials on television advertising the new and approved anywhere gym equipment or perfect diet has made the viewer at least contemplate their health. People often confuse fitness as a sole concept of either exercising or dieting, but fitness depends immensely on both. Some people in the fitness industry manipulate diet and exercise to create the body stature they desire.
Physical Development – This area is only split into two different aspects. The first one is ‘moving and handling’, this means that children must be able to show control and confidence in large and small movements. The second aspect is ‘health and self-care’, this means that children must know how important it is to stay healthy and do regular exercise.
Living a healthy lifestyle is a goal many individuals have and that could either be eating vigorous nutritious meals or being active outside in the world, going to the gym for instance. The condition of being physically fit and healthy is what fitness is. Not many people realize the importance of it until they can’t fit in their own jeans. Many individuals argue that there isn’t enough time for the gym or that there is no point in going because it can cause injury, but in reality, it’s all worth it after you realize the outcomes of working out and eating healthy. There is always time to make your life fit and healthier. In order to join this discourse community, a person must learn the typical ways people in that community interact and argue. I will demonstrate that I have entered this discourse community of fitness by obtaining necessary knowledge, establishing strong credibility, and learning to influence other members of the community to strive for more.
Physical: When a child is born they begin developing strength from large muscles to small muscles. When children are young they need to do many activities to strengthen their large and small muscles. Something I realized is that muscle skill development and maintaining healthy body are essential in life later for reading, writing and math.
Physical Development: Helping with coordination of body parts and how you can use hands and feet to move things. How to control your movements in an effective manner. The importance of a good, healthy diet and how it can affect performance.
The fourth component of fitness involves coordination and balance, which is highly important for bone structure and being aware of the positions of joints.
“Today, it is common knowledge that exercise is the equivalent of a drug that prevents and treats cardiovascular disease (1).” Therefore, it is essential that individuals strive to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 3-5 times a week. In today’s society, the end goal of exercise is often physical attractiveness rather than bodily health. The media is oversaturated with unrealistic ideals that push people to work towards dangerously low body weights. These ideals, however can only offer temporary satisfaction. The process of aging occurs in all individuals, regardless of fitness level. Physical attractiveness
independent and unique form of fitness the world has ever seen; from its unconventional founder
Strength so that gross motor skills and movement are more functional in the everyday lives of children.
Something that has impacted my life immensely is CrossFit, and for this reason, I will be doing my I-Search on it. CrossFit teaches healthy lifestyles and encourages one to be the best that one can be. The purpose of choosing this topic is for me to better understand the science of exercising and health. I hope to gain knowledge about why and how it is so highly effective. I also hope I am able to inform people about Crossfit being the most different, unique, insane, challenging and rewarding sport that there is. Crossfit is more than just a workout. It's a lifestyle that one chooses to live. I have learned to prioritize my health before anything else. Crossfit is also a place one can go to let go of any kind of stress, to learn camaraderie
With all the choices and methods of exercise these days, many of us are confused about what is best and what will work for them. Hopefully I can clear up some of this confusion about fitness, and talk about what methods I feel are most effective.
Thesis: Although there is often opposition from the masses regarding the upkeep of physical fitness, it is
Past fitness programs at our facility have used evaluation methods before, during and after programs are implemented. The first evaluation allows us to tailor offerings for current cohort and establish baseline measures. At the midpoint we make sure client’s needs are being met and make adjustments as necessary. The final evaluation demonstrates effectiveness and areas for improvement.
The second tool that has proven beneficial is the President’s Challenge. In the months prior to attending CPOA, I was sedentary, lacked motivation and required a jumpstart. The President’s Challenge did just that for me, catapulting and pushing me towards achieving my health and fitness goals. By the end of week two, I achieved the 12,000 point target. This could not have been accomplished without the support of my team or the fitness program that the academy faculty developed. The CPOA instructors led the class through comprehensive and vigorous routines, opening our minds to new methods for obtaining our goals. Routines included: swimming, spin, circuit training, TRX, interval runs and Fit Deck. As a result, it has ignited a new found passion
He has defined fitness in a meaningful, measurable way; increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. CrossFit itself is defined as that which optimizes fitness through constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity. CrossFit is also the community that arises when people do these workouts together. In fact, the communal aspect of CrossFit is a key component of why it’s so effective.
