Yearly+Overview

=The theory course structure will follow this outline:=

Introduction 2. Health, Fitness and Exercise || Week 2-5(Sept. 7/14/21 /28) || Concepts of recreation and mass participation. Contemporary issues in Physical Education Contemporary concerns: Obesity, coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, sedentary lifestyles, activity patterns, ageing population, access, stress.
 * **Topic** || **Week** || **Description** ||
 * 1.

A look at the positive health aspects of Physical activity. These benefits will be both Physical and Psychological.

Key vocabulary in the study of Physical Education will be covered, and recent trends in Health, Fitness and Exercise will be studied in comparable countries. ||
 * 3. Nutrition and Weight Management

4. The effects of aging || Week 7-9 (Oct. 12/19 /26) || Energy intake, food groups, hydration, balance diet, food pyramid, cholesterol, dietary requirements for exercise. Energy balance (energy intake vs energy expenditure), work–life balance, dealing with stress.
 * Balanced lifestyle:**

Physical maturation, decline in physical capability (cardiovascular fitness muscular strength, lung function, resting metabolic rate, osteoporosis, flexibility). || (Nov 2/9/16/ 23) || Muscular-skeletal system: Responses (fibre recruitment, force production, metabolism). Adaptations (increase fibre size, increase force production . Increase metabolic energy supply). Neuro-muscular: Responses (increased number of muscle fibres recruited, increase in rate of fibre recruitment). Adaptations (improved co-ordination, increases in force production and rate of force production, increase in speed). || (Nov 31 Dec 6/13) || Components of physical fitness: Speed, strength, endurance (aerobic, muscular), flexibility, composition. Components of skill fitness: Coordination, balance, agility, reaction time, power, endurance (local muscle, cardiovascular, strength). || Jan 4/11/18 /25 || **Rationale of assessment:** Maximal v sub-maximal tests, reasons for testing/use of tests for assessment of fitness, limitations, validity and reliability, using Technology to assess fitness. Application, understanding, Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire. (PARQ), tests for different components of fitness, eg strength, power, speed, flexibility, endurance, body composition || Feb 1/8/22 || Respiratory: Responses (Increased rate and depth of breathing, increased gas exchange). Adaptations (improvements in respiratory muscle performance.). Cardiovascular: Responses (> SV, HR, Q, redistribution of blood flow to working muscle). Adaptations (increase in size of heart, SV, Q and capillaries). || Mar 1/8/15 || Methods of fitness training: Aerobic/anaerobic training, continuous, interval, power, circuit/weight/ resistance training, speed, fartlek, cross training, core stability, plyometrics, SAQ (speed, agility, quickness), stretching (static, ballistic, dynamic, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation — PNF). Principles of training: FITT, duration, recovery Application of fitness and training/overtraining. Appropriateness of programmes to differing clients: Young and old, trained and untrained, active and sedentary, healthy and unhealthy ||
