Introduction to Exercise Science
True or False, the term “exercise science” can be most accurately described as the study of human movement.
False, the study of how and why the body responds to physical activity
True or False Impact factor has nothing to do with the amount of citations an article receives nor the quality of science published?
False, simply put the higher impact factor, the more manuscript are being citied leading to a more rigorous acceptance policy.
True or False The field of measurement involves developing procedures for new variables, evaluating the accuracy of existing measurement practices, and refining these practices over time.
True
When did you first learn basic anatomy?
Child
The death zone
True or False Chronic exercise is measured in hours and days while acute exercise is measured in weeks and months.
False, Chronic is weeks/months, acute is hours and days
A peer-reviewed article in a scientific journal is considered what type of source?
A primary source
There are two fundamental questions that need to be asked to ensure the measurement is valid.
Validity
Realiability
Subset objectivity
Tell me the type of anatomy if you were studying the nervous system and the pelvis
Systemic, regional

Two governing bodies of research were discussed in class, one was designed to protect humans the other animals. What are the governing bodies?
IRB, IACUC
What is this?
PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to explore the relationship between RFD and IP at time-points of 200 and 250 milliseconds during an isometric mid-thigh pull in collegiate male soccer players. METHODS: 21 collegiate male soccer players performed isometric mid-thigh pulls on dual force platforms. Relationships between RFD and IP were evaluated with Pearson correlation coefficients. RESULTS: RFD and IP displayed strong, statistically significant correlations at both 200 (r = .737, p = 0.000) and 250 milliseconds (r = .663, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings of this study, RFD and IP appear to be strongly related during an isometric mid-thigh pull at 200 and 250 milliseconds. Due to reliability concerns often associated with RFD, practitioners should consider tracking IP over the course of the training year. Future studies should aim to elucidate simple, minimally invasive testing procedures that provide reliable RFD measures. Such information would provide valuable insight regarding the athlete’s physiological status and the efficacy of the training program.

What is the cognitive assessment that we went over in class called? Does it measure IQ?
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)
No, mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer’s disease.
Exercise Science is known as the meeting place of science, what are 3 of the 5 areas of focus?
Anatomy, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematical principles

Conclusion
True or False A state measure can be described as chronic, stable, long-term while a trait measure can be described as acute, temporary, situation-spefic
False, descriptions are reversed
What is considered the "Father of Modern Anatomy" and how did his work shift anatomy?
Andreas Vesalius
From a theoretical discipline to an empirical science grounded in evidence.
In the article "Words matter: instructions dictate "self-selected" walking speed", what was one example of a prompt that Dr. H. had to repeat in triplicate to every participant?
We have discussed over and over again, one exercise science professional organization, there are 5 others on the this slide, can you name another one?
American College of Sports Medicine ACSM
American Council on Exercise (ACE)
American Sport Education Program (ASEP)
International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN)
National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA)
National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)
In class we discussed four research platforms, name two, bonus if all four are named from the slide.

What category of collarbone fracture, spoken about in class, is the most common. You need a specific group #.
Group I, 80% of injuries
Athletes over the age of 40 see no benefit from physical conditioning? Answer yes/no and support your answer.
No, even up into your 90's you can see a training response.
