Document Summary

Physical activity-any movement of skeletal muscles that require energy. Exercise-physical activities that are planned, repetitive, and intended to improve fitness. Physical fitness-the ability to perform moderate to vigorous activity without undue fatigue. Moderate -intensity aerobic physical activity-aero(cid:271)i(cid:272) a(cid:272)tivity that i(cid:374)(cid:272)reases a perso(cid:374)"s heart rate and breathing to some extent (4-6 on rpe scale) Vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity-aerobic activity that greatly increases a perso(cid:374)"s heart rate a(cid:374)d (cid:271)reathi(cid:374)g (7-8 on rpe scale) Muscle strengthening activity-physical activity that increases skeletal muscle strength, power, endurance, and mass. Nutrition and physical activity complement each other when it come to improving health outcomes. Beneficial if you meet with a professional before you get started so they can help you on where to start. Goal setting can help you enhance your success. Adenosine triphosphate (atp)- the main energy currency for cell s. Adenosine diphosphate (adp)- breakdown product of atp. Adp is synthesized into atp using energy from foodstuffs and a phosphate group.
