Importance of PA/ Intro to KNS
The three sources of knowledge in KNS?
1. PA experience
2. scholarship of PA
3. Professional experience in PA

B- Behavior
C- Cognitions
The smallest contractile unit of the muscle is the
sarcomere, made up of the actin and myosin
Which type of lever is most commonly found in the body?
Third class levers
In Research papers what are all the sections you will find?
Abstract, key words, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion and References
The technical definition of PA
Intentional, voluntary movement directed toward achieving an identifiable goal
The three parts of Motor Behavior
Motor Learning, control and development
What are non-communicable diseases?
diseases that do not spread:
•Diabetes
•Cardiovascular disease
•Hypertension
•Asthma
•Arthritis
•Alzheimer’s
What is ATP? What are the Three systems that make ATP?
Body's energy currency, ATP-PCr, Glycolysis and Aerobic
How is learning measured?
retention and transfer
The focuses of study within KNS
Dance, exercise, fundamental movements, sport and therapy (exercise/recreational)
Motor skills are
any goal directed movement that involves large or small muscle movements (fine or gross)
What is anatomical position?
the reference position when someone is standing straight, with their palms supinated, arms down, feet together
What are kinematics and kinetics?
kinematics: the measure of motion
Kinetics: the measure of force
the three main behaviors associated with motivation are:
choice, effort and persistence
The 7 spheres of Physical activity?
self-sufficiency, self-expression, work, education, leisure, health and competition
What are three types of mental skills training?
imagery, attentional focus and mindfulness
mortality vs. morbidity examples:
Mortality: The number of deaths that have occurred due to a specific illness or condition
Morbidity: A state of having a specific illness or condition (often chronic; NCDs)
What are the three muscle fiber types?
Type 1 (slow, oxidative) , Type IIa (intermediate, fast-oxidative) and Type IIx (fast, powerful and fast-glycolytic)
Give one type of movement from one of the planes
sagittal: flexion or extension
frontal: abduction/ adduction
transverse: internal or external rotation
Difference between direct and subjective experience of PA?
direct is the interaction with PA, subjective is the percieved and personal reactions to PA experiences...
The difference between discrete or continuous tasks?
discrete have a clear stop and start point whereas continuous are drawn out moreso and continuous in nature
The three planes and their axes
Sagittal & mediolateral
Frontal & anteroposterior
Transverse & superiorinferior
What is cardiac output and how is it measured?
•Cardiac output (Q) is the amount of blood ejected from the heart per beat
•Q = HR x SV
Metabolic cart or calculated!
The difference between velocity, acceleration and displacement?
•Displacement: difference between initial and final positions
—Unit: meters
—Displacement is change in position
d= dfinal - dinitial
•Velocity: rate of change in position
—Unit: meters/second
v= dfinal -dinitial/ change T
•Acceleration: rate of change in velocity
—Unit: meters/second^2
a= vfinal - vinitial / change T
