Definitions (DRPT 632 & 638)
This refers to any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle contraction that increases energy expenditure above resting levels.
What is physical activity?
This component is the ability of a muscle to exert force.
What is muscular strength?
This component is the ability to maintain equilibrium while standing still or moving.
What is balance?
Adults should accumulate at least this many minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity each week.
What is 150 minutes?
In this stage of motor learning, the patient needs frequent instructions and feedback and typically makes many errors.
What is the cognitive stage?
This is a type of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive and is performed to improve or maintain physical fitness.
What is exercise?
This component refers to the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity.
What is cardiorespiratory endurance?
This component is the ability to use sensory information together with body movements to perform a task smoothly and accurately.
What is coordination?
Adults should accumulate at least this many minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity each week.
What is 75 minutes?
This type of practice involves little to no rest between work periods. .
What is massed practice?
This term describes the attributes or characteristics that determine a person's ability to perform physical activity and activities of daily living.
What is physical fitness?
This component refers to the relative amounts of muscle, fat, bone, and other tissues in the body.
What is body composition?
A patient must quickly change direction while walking around obstacles without losing control. Which skill-related component is being challenged most?
What is agility?
For additional health benefits, adults may increase moderate-intensity aerobic activity beyond this amount per week.
What is 300 minutes?
This type of feedback tells the patient how the movement was performed, including specific elements of the task.
What is knowledge of performance?
Therapeutic exercise falls under this category of physical therapy interventions.
What is a PT procedural intervention?
A patient can generate enough force to lift a weight once, but cannot repeat the movement many times without fatigue. This health-related fitness component is limited.
What is muscular endurance?
A patient hears a command to “step” and must begin the movement as quickly as possible. Which component is primarily being tested?
What is reaction time?
This pre-exercise screening tool is used to identify individuals who may need further evaluation before increasing their physical activity.
What is the PAR-Q?
This feedback may help with rapid skill acquisition, but when provided constantly it may increase dependence and interfere with motor learning.
What is concurrent feedback?
Which three broad categories of interventions may be included in a physical therapy plan of care?
What are coordination/communication, patient-related instruction, and PT procedural interventions?
A patient has adequate strength but cannot reach overhead because of limited shoulder range of motion. Which health-related fitness component is most directly affected.
What is flexibility?
A patient is asked to move the foot from one target to another as quickly as possible. The emphasis is on completing the movement in the shortest amount of time, rather than responding to a stimulus. Which component is being tested?
What is speed?
A person reports chest discomfort during physical activity. On the PAR-Q, this response would indicate the need for this before independently progressing exercise.
What is further medical evaluation/clearance?
This type of feedback tells the patient whether the goal or outcome was achieved, such as “yes,” “no,” or “almost.”
What is knowledge of results?
