Understanding Physical Endurance

The duration for which your muscles can work depends directly on your endurance. There are two primary types of endurance: Muscular and Cardiovascular (CV).

Muscular Endurance

Muscular endurance is the ability of your muscles to keep exerting force over a prolonged period.

  • Muscle Fatigue: This occurs when your arms and legs begin to feel heavy or weak.
  • Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers: These fibers fatigue less quickly, making it easier to improve muscular endurance if you possess a high proportion of them.

Cardiovascular Endurance (CV)

CV endurance is intrinsically linked to the efficiency of your heart and lungs.

  • As your muscles work harder, they require more oxygen, causing your breathing and heart rate to accelerate.
  • The

Strength Training: Specific Systems

Weightlifting

Weightlifting involves using barbells and dumbbells to develop maximum strength. It is performed at low speed and high intensity.

Isometric Training

Isometric training involves contracting a muscle against maximum resistance from a fixed object. It develops maximum strength and is ideal for recovering from injuries.

Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding consists of a series of exercises using dumbbells and weights, performed with fast repetitions at medium to high intensity. It develops dynamic strength and muscle coordination.

Plyometrics

Plyometrics involves linking the fall from a height with a subsequent jump in a vertical or horizontal direction. It improves explosiveness by starting with an eccentric contraction... Continue reading "Strength Training Guide: Types, FITT Principle & More" »

Written on in English with a size of 12.06 KB

Models of Disability

Social Model of Disability

  • Core Concept: A person is limited by environmental barriers, not by their impairment.
  • Keys: Social oppression, cultural discourse, environmental barriers.
  • Strengths:
    • Straightforward and clear agenda for change.
    • Focuses on the liberation of disabled people.
    • Fosters a positive sense of collective identity.
  • Weaknesses:
    • May neglect the lived experience of disability (e.g., the personal impact of impairment).
    • Can overlook individual experiences, assuming every disabled person is oppressed.

Medical Model of Disability

  • Core Concept: People are disabled by their impairments or disabilities, which are seen as individual deficits.

Foundational Concepts for Inclusion

Ethics of Inclusion

  • Embrace difference and diversity.

Warm-Up

Exercises are always performed before physical activity or sports to adapt the body progressively to further effort. Warming up means carrying out physical exercises that will help the body to adapt to a subsequent task involving greater exertion.

Why Warm Up?

  • Avoids muscle injuries.
  • Increases joint movement.
  • Facilitates cardiorespiratory adaptation.
  • Delays fatigue.
  • Helps reduce stiffness.
  • Facilitates mental preparation.

General Warm-Up

Warming up can be broken down into a general stage and a specific one. The purpose of the first stage is to get all the parts of the body moving for the following activity, and to loosen up and go faster without feeling too tired. It usually begins with running at low or moderate speed and doing stretching and... Continue reading "The Ultimate Guide to Physical Fitness: Endurance, Strength, Flexibility, and More" »

Fitness Foundations: FITT Principle & Speed Training for Peak Performance

Classified in Physical Education

Written on in English with a size of 4.56 KB

To increase your training workload, you can achieve this in several ways:

  • Lift heavier weights.
  • Increase the number of repetitions with the same weight.
  • Lift the same weight for the same number of repetitions but decrease the rest time between sets.

Optimizing Your Training: FITT Principle & Recovery

FITT Principle: Type of Exercise

The third component in the FITT principle dictates what type or kind of exercise you should choose to achieve the appropriate training response.

Choosing Resistance Training

The best form of exercise to stress the neuromuscular system is resistance training. However, resistance training does not necessarily mean lifting weights. Resistance bands could be used as an alternative, or perhaps a circuit training session... Continue reading "Fitness Foundations: FITT Principle & Speed Training for Peak Performance" »

Classified in Physical Education

Written on in English with a size of 3.09 KB

Starting Play:

All players begin the game in their own half. The team winning the toss starts the game with a pass from the center line. After the start of play, court players are allowed anywhere on the court except for either goal area.

Scoring:

A goal is scored whenever the entire ball passes the goal line between the posts and under the crossbar.

Moving the Ball:

A player is allowed to run three steps with the ball before it must be bounced, passed, or shot. If bounced, a further three steps are allowed but the ball must then be passed or a shot taken at the goal. If a player with the ball is stationary and not dribbling, a three-second rule applies instead of three steps.

Dribbling:

Dribbling is permitted. However, as soon as the ball is held
