At the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
- Explain the role balance plays in physical activity engagement.
- Explain the three systems which allow us to maintain balance.
- Describe why controlled breathing is necessary for physical activity and provide examples of how breathing patterns may differ between activity types.
- Identify basic lower body exercises; describe how they should be performed; and how they can be modified.
- Differentiate between and describe the rationale for choosing isolated and compound exercises.
Similar to Chapter 8, this chapter should also be used as a practical guide. The information that is shared, as well as how it is shared, encourages readers to learn by doing. This chapter covers lower body exercises and the remaining key components of exercise that were not already covered. However, keep in mind that the key components discussed are related to upper body exercises as well, such as form and workout structures, which are crucial to safe and effective exercise.
