18.5-24.9

13

Less than 200 mg/dL

17
Q

High-Risk Cholesterol Level

A

Greater than 240 mg/dL

18
Q

Diabetes Mellitus

A

Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins

19
Q

Type 1 Diabetes

A

Juvenile, result of pancreas not producing enough insulin leading to blood sugar not optimally being delivered to cells leading to hyperglycemia

20
Q

Hyperglycemia

A

High Blood Sugar

21
Q

Type 2 Diabetese

A

Associated with obesity
-Patients typically produce enough insulin but cells are resistance and do not allow insulin to bring adequate amount of glucose into the cell

22
Q

Glucose

A

Blood sugar

23
Q

Lack of Physical Activity

A

A significant contributor to the risk factors of chronic disease

24
Q

Muscular Dysfunction

A

Largely attributable to physical inactivity

  • Low-back pain
  • Knee injuries
  • Musculoskeletal Injuries
  • Unnatural Posture
25
Q

Less Conditioned Musculoskeletal System=

A

Higher risk of injury

26
Q

Overtraining

A

Too high of initial training intensity

-Likely to lead to injury

27
Q

Deconditioned

A

A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability

28
Q

Multiplanar Movements

A

Movements in all directions

29
Q

Full Muscle Action Spectrum

A

Concentric acceleration, eccentric deceleration, and isometric stabilization

30
Q

Proprioception

A

The cumulative sensory input to the CNS from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movements

31
Q

Proprioceptively Enriched Environment

A

An unstable (yet controllable) physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms

32
Q

Proprioceptively Enriched Environment EXS

A

Stability ball chest press, single leg squat

33
Q

Integrated Training

A

A concept that incorporates all forms of training in an integrated fashion as part of a progressive system

34
Q

OPT Model

A

Optimum Performance Training

  • A process of programming that systematically progresses any client to any goal
  • Based on the scientific rationale of human movement science
35
Q

Phases of Training

A

Smaller divisions of training progressions that fall withing the three building blocks of training
-Stabilization, Strength, Power

36
Q

Stabilization Level

A

Phase 1: Stabilization Endurance Training

37
Q

Main Focus of Stabilization Level

A

Increase muscular endurance while developing neuromuscular efficiency

38
Q

Muscular Endurance

A

A muscle’s ability to contract for an extended period

39
Q

Neuromuscular Efficiency

A

(Coordination) The ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion

40
Q

Stabilization Level Progression

A

Comes from introducing a greater challenge to balance and stabilization rather than increasing the load

41
Q
