Discussion Question 2 -

Referenced from the text in Preparing for Physical Activity, pgs. 43 to 62.

In the principles section of your response you are to list and briefly explain the following considerations in beginning physical activity. Briefly explain each of the following:

1. Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire.

2. The need for appropriate clothing.

3. The need for appropriate footgear.

5. Heat Related Injuries.

7. Soreness and injury.

8. Muscle cramps.

9. The three parts of a work-out.

Implications

In the implications section of your response you are to discuss your personal approach to beginning physical activity. How might your attitude affect your starting physical activity? How might you overcome a negative attitude? You may respond to this section by referencing any related source, but Corbin also provides good references (pgs. 53 to 55).
