Q & A

What is the difference between physical activity and exercise?

Physical activity refers to any movement of the body that involves the muscles and bones, increasing energy expenditure. Exercise, however, is a planned, structured, and repetitive form of physical activity aimed at improving or maintaining physical fitness components, often following specific rules.

Can you give examples of physical activities and sports?

Examples of physical activities include sweeping, walking, climbing stairs, washing a car, or doing laundry. On the other hand, sports examples include running, playing tennis, weightlifting, football, gymnastics, and boxing.

What makes an activity 'exercise' and not just physical activity?

An activity becomes exercise when it is performed in a structured, planned, and repetitive manner with a focus on improving specific fitness components. Exercise includes key stages such as warming up, engaging in core exercises, and cooling down.

What are the benefits of warming up before exercise?

Warming up helps increase the heart rate, body temperature, and blood flow to the muscles, preparing the body for more intense physical activity. It also reduces the risk of injuries by making the muscles and joints more flexible.

What is the purpose of cooling down after exercise?

Cooling down helps gradually lower the heart rate and blood pressure, allowing the body to return to its resting state. It also helps in reducing muscle soreness and promoting better recovery after exercise.

What does the FITT principle stand for in exercise?

The FITT principle stands for Frequency (how often you exercise), Intensity (how hard you exercise), Time (how long you exercise), and Type (the kind of exercise you do). These factors are important to tailor exercise programs to individual goals and needs.

What is physical literacy, and why is it important?

Physical literacy is the ability to move with competence and confidence in a wide range of physical activities. It involves motivation, physical competence, understanding of movement, and a lifelong commitment to being active. It is crucial because it encourages regular physical activity and improves overall health and well-being.

Who introduced the concept of physical literacy?

The concept of physical literacy was introduced by Margaret Whitehead, who defined it as a foundation that enables individuals to engage in physical activities confidently and competently throughout their lives.

What are the main components of physical literacy?

The main components of physical literacy include motivation and confidence to participate in physical activities, physical competence in performing movements and exercises, knowledge and understanding of the benefits of physical activity, and a lifelong engagement in physical activities.

How does physical literacy impact long-term health?

Physical literacy promotes long-term health by encouraging individuals to be active throughout their lives. It helps develop habits of physical activity that improve physical, mental, and social well-being, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and enhancing quality of life.
