Mix 'em up
This physiological response increases at altitude to compensate for hypoxia.
what is ventilation
This is one of the biggest psychological barriers to exercise in older adults.
Fear of injury
This is the primary purpose of preparticipation screening
what is indentifying risk for adverse cardiovascular events
this is the minimum frequency recommended to aerobic training
what is ≥3 days/week?
This principle states that bone adapts to the mechanical loads placed upon it, becoming stronger with increased stress
What is Wolff’s Law?
This method is preferred over METs to estimate exercise intensity in children.
what is RPE
This test measures how long it takes to stand, walk, turn, and sit down.
Timed-up and go (TUG)
This method estimates body fat using subcutaneous measurements.
What is skinfold assessment?
This is the product of frequency, intensity, and time.
What is exercise volume?
These neural changes contribute to early strength gains with no muscle gain
What are motor unit synchronization, rate coding (firing rate), and intermuscular coordination?
This principle emphasizes gradual increases in frequency, intensity, and duration.
what is P.O
This type of training is specifically used to reduce fall risk.
neuromotor training
This blood pressure threshold qualifies as a risk factor.
What is ≥130/80 mmHg?
This is the most important factor for hypertrophy regardless of load.
what is training to volitional failure?
What martial art does Mr. Melgar Roca practice?
Jiu jitsu (-500 if you said karate)
This type of exercise is most effective for increasing bone density in youth.
What is High impact activites (jumping, running, skipping)
“This factor is used to determine the appropriate starting point for exercise in older adults.”
What is functional capacity?
This BMI value defines obesity as a risk factor.
What is ≥30 kg/m²?
This principle explains that greater intensity generally leads to greater adaptations.
What is dose-response relationship?
what is the oxygen cost of being sedentary?
1 MET, 3.5 mL of oxygen per KG per minute
This population is at greater risk for heat-related illness due to thermoregulation differences.
what is Children and adolescents
This is the most appropriate progression strategy for an older adult beginning an exercise program.
What is increase duration first, then intensity?
This is the biggest change from ACSM 9th to 11th/12th edition screening.
What is emphasis on current physical activity status?
This mechanism explains reduced force production after prolonged static stretching.
What is neural inhibition / decreased motor unit excitability?
This hormone stimulates red blood cell production and is commonly abused to enhance endurance performance.
What is erythropoietin (EPO)?
