2.5

57
Q

What is the 95% limits of agreement?

A

-is a measure of individual prediction error.

estimates how well you will be able to predict your client’s actual value when using the prediction equation.

This is accomplished by using the Bland & Altman Method (1986):

For each individual in the sample, calculate difference scores & average scores:
Difference Scores = (actual values – predicted values)
Average Scores = [(actual values + predicted values) / 2].
Then the difference scores & average scores are plotted on a graph.

58
Q

is it bettee to have a larger 95% limits or smaller

A

smaller, better predictive accuracy

59
Q

what is total erorr

A

average degree of variation of deviateion of individual data points in comparison to line of identity

60
Q

what is cross validation?

A

a method to test the accuracy of a prediction (regression) equation on a different sample from the one on which it was developed.

61
Q

How do you choose a prediction equation

A

1) use one tested on a Large sample size
2) were developed with 20 to 40 subjects per predictor variable.
3) possess validity and (simple or multiple) correlation coefficients > 0.80.
4) have a high coefficient of determination (r2).
5) has been cross validated

62
Q

What are the 2 types of prediction equations?

A

1) population specific (are intended only for individuals from a specific homogeneous group)

2) generalized: are developed using diverse heterogeneous samples.
account for differences in physical characteristics by including these variables as predictors in the equation, e.g., age, gender, height, & body weight.

63

66
Q

What are the 7 basic principles for determining exercise program

A

1) Specificity Training Principle
2) Overload Training Principle
3) Principle of Progression (Stages of Progression)
4) Principle of Initial Values
5) Principle of Interindividual Variability or Individuality
6) Principle of Diminishing Returns
7) Principle of Reversibility (Detraining)

67
Q

explain the specificty training principle and what training effects are specific to?

A

The body’s physiological & metabolic responses & adaptations to exercise training are specific to the type of exercise & the muscle groups involved.

(Only the muscles or body systems being exercised will show beneficial changes.)

training effects are specficic to: muscle groups, joint actions, speed and tpye of contraction, amount of overload

68
Q

explain the overload principle of training and how can it be achieved?

A

The physiological systems of the body must be taxed using loads that are greater than those to which the individual is accustomed

increasing the frequency, intensity, and/or duration

69
Q

What is the most important principle for designing an exercise program?

A

OVERLOAD (intensity is most important)

70
Q

epxlain the principle of progression

A

The gradual increase of the overload or training volume

71
Q

explain the principle of initial values

A

The relative gains & rate of improvement in response to exercise training depends on an individual’s initial physical fitness level.

72
Q

explain the principle of interindividuality variability

A

Individual responses to a training stimulus are quite variable & they depend on a number of factors such as:
age, health status, initial fitness level, genetics

73
Q

what is the responce to stimuli dependent on?

A
Genetic Endowment (Farther from genetic limit = bigger improvements.)
Biologic Age (Affects the amount of adaptation)
Training State (Low fitness level = respond at a higher rate & magnitude.)
Health Status (Adaptive energy is reduced when sick or ill)
Fatigue State (Follow proper recovery strategies.)
74
Q

explain the priciple of diminiishing returns

A

An individual’s rate of improvement in physical fitness slows & eventually plateaus (because of genetic ceiling)

75
Q

explain the principle of revrersibility

A

The positive physiological effects & health benefits of regular physical activity & exercise are reversible as demonstrated by detraining.

76
Q

What are the 5 basic elements of the exercise prescription

A

FITT+progression

F=frequency
I=Intensity
T=time (duration)
T= type (mode)
progression of exercise
77
Q

How can you improve continuously?

A

PROGRESSIVELY OVERLOADED

78
Q

A

Initial conditioning
improvement
maintenance

79
Q

Explain the initial conditioning stage

A

dur: Takes 1-6 weeks (learning techniques)
purpose: Serves as a primer to familiarize the client with exercise training

80
Q

explain the improvement stage

A

dur: 4-8 months (rapid progression)
purpose: Progressive improvement of physical fitness until a client’s fitness goal is achieved.

81
Q

explain maintenance stage
