PA & Exercise
Body Composition is an example of this type of physical fitness.
What is Health-Related Fitness?
The unit of measure indicating the rate at which you burn calories (kcals) during an activity.
What is a MET?
The repeating segments of myofibrils that are responsible for muscle contraction.
What are sarcomeres?
The ROM of a joint or group of joints, as determined by the surrounding skeletal muscles and not influenced by any external forces.
What is flexibility?
Sensory input is gathered from these which are located within the skin, muscles, fascia, and joints.
What are mechanoreceptors?
An outcome of exercise that relates to the ability to perform physical activity.
What is Physical Fitness?
Essentially how much oxygen you can consume during maximal aerobic stress.
What is VO2 Max?
The basic tenet of all resistance training programs.
What is the Overload Principle?
ROM of a given joint achieved by the voluntary use of skeletal muscles in combination with external forces.
What is dynamic flexibility?
Generally considered the "Gold Standard" in body composition assessment.
What is hydrostatic weighing?
This domain has seen the most dramatic decrease in energy demands over the past 50 years.
What is the Occupational domain?
Shortness of breath, wheezing, or leg cramps may be a sign to do this during exercise testing.
What is STOP a test or exercise?
This is the muscle action responsible for deceleration or muscle lengthening.
What is eccentric movement?
This is defined as the art and science of measuring the joint ranges in each plane of the joint.
What is Goniometry?
These muscles are shorter in length and respond to changes in posture and extrinsic loads.
What are stabilizing muscles?
The first step when working with a new client. This should be completed before collecting confidential information or starting any testing.
What is Informed Consent?
This energy pathways can be described as high energy, short burst.
What is the Anaerobic pathway?
These have a high oxidative capacity and a lower contractile force capability and are better for endurance activities.
What are Type I (or slow-twitch) muscle fibers?
Skeletal muscles, when stretched, exhibit these properties.
What are viscous and elastic properties?
This test is used to show vertical postural alignment and often mimics the line of gravity.
What is a plumb line?
Clinical conditions that present but are deemed allowable for fitness testing since the benefits may outweigh the risks.
What is relative contraindications?
The principle that is used most often for the development of CV fitness in healthy people.
What is the FITT Principle?
The number of Fundamental Principles of Resistance Training.
What is 7?
With aging, there is a reduction in collagen solubility, which may lead to increases in these conditions.
What are tendon rigidity and/or degenerative joint disease?
Optimal stabilization strategies require these 3 strategies.
What are a stable base, adequate muscular capacity and CNS motor programming?
