Q

BCAAs

A

Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine

26
Q

Achievable Goals

A

The achievability will depend upon the individual client, particularly the client’s time constraints, physical abilities (i.e., fitness level), and mental abilities (i.e., self-efficacy).

27
Q

Linear Displacement

A

The distance an object moves in a straight line.

28
Q

Parathyroid Endocrine Function

A

There are four parathyroid glands that help regulate calcium levels in the body.

29
Q

Force

A

The interaction that creates work or physical change. Its components are magnitude, direction, point of application, and line of action.

30
Q

Perichondrium

A

The connective tissue enveloping cartilage everywhere except at a joint.

31
Q

Interstitial Fluid

A

The fluid found between cells.

32
Q

Hormones

A

Chemical messengers stored, created, and released by endocrine glands.

33
Q

Capsular ligament

A

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a capsular ligament, so called because it is continuous with the joint capsule. It resists valgus stress at the knee by keeping the joint approximated.

34
Q

Third Class Lever

A

For a third-class lever, the effort is between the fulcrum (axis) and the load (resistance).

35
Q

Force

A

The interaction that creates work or physical change. Its components are magnitude, direction, point of application, and line of action.

36
Q

Sensory Integration

A

The way the brain works to affect responses to neural input.

37
Q

Torque

A

Force applied that results in rotation about an axis.

38
Q

Myofibrils

A

Parallel filaments that form muscle.

39
Q

Catecholamines

A

Hormones released by the adrenal glands into the blood as a result of stress.

40
Q

Adaptive Physical Fitness

A

The art and science of developing, implementing, and monitoring a carefully designed physical fitness program for a person with a disability.

41
Q

Stroke Volume

A

The amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart in one contraction.

42
Q

External Respiration

A

The exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood.

43
Q

External Respiration

A

The exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood.

44
Q

External RespirationLinoleum Acid RDA

A

17 grams per day for men ages 19–50; 12 grams per day for women ages 19–50

45
Q

Myofibrils

A

Parallel filaments that form muscle.

46
Q

Excitation-Contraction Coupling

A

The physiological process of converting a neural impulse into a mechanical response.

47
Q

Carb Cycling

A

increasing and reducing carb intake on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

48
Q

Endomysium

A

The connective tissue covering each muscle fiber.

49
Q

Anatomical Position

A

The anatomically neutral body position facing forward with the arms at the sides of the body and palms and toes pointing straight ahead.

50
Q

Epiglottis

A

A piece of elastic cartilage in the throat that opens during breathing and closes during swallowing.

51
Q

Muscular endurance tempo

A

4:0:6:0

52
Q

Circular Muscle

A

Muscle fibers surrounding an opening in the body.

53
Q

Carb Cycling

A

increasing and reducing carb intake on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

54
Q

Fibrocartilage

A

An elastic and tough tissue containing type I and type II collagen.

55
Q

Acceleration

A

The rate of change of velocity.

A

The brain lobe involved in processing sensory information.

58
Q

Central Nervous System

A

The part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

59
Q

Acceleration equation

A

a = change in v / change in t

60

A

Short bands of tough but flexible fibrous connective tissue connecting two bones or cartilages or holding together a joint.

61
Q

Protraction

A

Abduction of the scapula
