Ch1 Benefits of PA
A type of PA consisting of planned, structured, and
repetitive bodily movement done to improve and/or
maintain one or more components of physical fitness
Exercise
How can sedentary behavior be defined?
Sitting or reclined while engaging in minimal energy expenditure (<1.5METS)
Identify if the individual currently participates in regular exercise.
_________dependent on the integration of the
cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, and respiratory
systems.
Cardiorespiratory fitness
What is the FITT principle?
Frequency, intensity, time, type
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle that results in energy expenditure” is known as...
Physical activity
With the wider availability of objective measurement instruments, including _________ and _________, it has become possible to gain more accurate and precise estimates of the total time a person spends in sedentary pursuits.
accelerometers, inclinometers
When using self-reported measures to estimate physical activity, it is likely that participation in high-intensity activity will be __________, and participation in low-intensity activity will be _________.
Overestimated and underestimated
What is accepted as the criterion to measure CRF.
Exercise below a minimum intensity (threshold) will not challenge the body to result in changes to physiologic parameters. What is this defining?
Overload principle
One in ___ adults are insufficiently physically active.
4
“Significant reduction or cessation in exercise that results in partial or complete reversal of the physiological adaptations to exercise”
Deconditioning
After completing a preparticipation health screening on a new patient, you determine your patient is (a) not currently active, (b) has a known cardiovascular disease, and (c) is asymptomatic. What is recommended for this individual?
Medical clearance
Direct measurements of VO2max may not always be
feasible; reasons for this include the following: (4)
Health status of subject, equipment costs, space and required personnel
The ACSM also suggests the following points to create a holistic exercise program:
______ ________ should be performed at least 2 days per week, and ________ and neuromotor activities should also be included.
Resistance training, flexibility.
Define the 3 levels of physical activity (with associated METS).
Light-intensity physical activity is <3.0 METs
Moderate-intensity physical activity is 3.0–5.9 METs.
Vigorous-intensity physical activity is ≥6.0 METs
Self-reported survey data suggests ______ - ______ of U.S. adults are physically inactive.
45%–75%
If your patient answers “yes” to at least one of the general health questions on the PAR-Q+ but answers “no” to all of the follow-up questions regarding his or her specific medical condition, how should you proceed?
Medical clearance is not necessary, and the patient may proceed with physical activity.
The standard prediction equation for age-predicted maximal heart rate is
220 – age
Emotional, social, physical, mental and spiritual
List the 5 health-related physical fitness components.

Sedentary behavior has been shown to have a strong link to an increased risk of developing... (4 answers)
diabetes/metabolic disease, cancer, decreased bone mineral density, and/or decreased physical function in older adults
Bilateral ____ _____ that is most evident at night is a characteristic sign of heart failure or bilateral chronic venous insufficiency.
Ankle Edema
What is an RPE scale, and what is an OMNI scale?
Rating of perceived exertion. Allows the exerciser to subjectively express his or her physical exertion level. Correlates to heart rate
OMNI: These scales were originally designed to be used with children and adolescents using a picture system to illustrate intensity but have been modified to be used with adults engaging in exercise on a cycle ergometer, treadmill, stepper, and elliptical
Agility, balance, coordination, power, speed, and reaction time
