6. Reaction Time
The length of time an individual initiates a response to a specific stimuli.
c. Frequency- describes the number of times per week the exercise should be

Curves of a Healthy
Back
1. Cervical Curve- a
slight forward curve in
the neck.
2. Thoracic Curve- a
slight backward curve
in the upper back.
Body Types
Somatotyping
- The system of classifying body types depends on ones body shape.
ECTOMORPH
Naturally thin
Smaller bone structure
Thinner limbs
Short upper body, long legs and arms, narrow feet and hands

or contest
- Act or science of bringing one such a condition.

O – Overload
R – Reversibility
T – Tedium
Specificity – means the special adaptation that is made to the type of demands being
imposed.

disorder just by looking at their appearance. People with eating disorders can be
underweight, normal weight or overweight. It’s impossible to diagnose anyone just by
looking at them.
Tips: 1. Know your limitations 2. Eat fruits and vegetables 3. Control yourself
Emotional Eating
2. Find ways to overcome them instead of eating - manage yourself, like if you are
bored, read a book, go to an amusement park, watch comedy shows -when having
problems, confront it with confidence, - if lonely, just call someone, play with pets etc.
4. Pause and think - Construct a strategy to avoid this All this can help, but not

food choices and take time to eat. Your behaviours are strongly influenced by your
environments. Constantly being on the go, working at a desk all day, and watching
TV and laptops all influence your brain and behaviours when it comes to food choices.
Bring your focus back to your food, be mindful when eating and chew thoroughly to
improve your health and your waistline.

OPPORTUNITY RISK:
- Risks taken to achieve positive outcome or return
EXAMPLE:
1) Owning a motor car (Hopkin,P.,2012)
Risks associated with owning a car
