Q

In what ways does exercise improve health

A
  • counters the life shortening effects of cigarette smoking & excess body weight
  • people with high blood pressure reduced their death rate by half
  • countered genetic tendencies toward early death for people who parent(s) died before 65 by 25%
  • 50% reduction in mortality rate for active men whose parents lived past 65

Q

How many kcal does walking one mile burn

Study These Flashcards
A
  • burns about 100 kcal
17
Q

Relationship between miles walked per week and death rate

Study These Flashcards
A
  • the more miles someone walks per week reduces their death rate
18
Q

Males have a higher risk of death in all aerobic fitness categories compared to females (True/False)

19
Q

Does exercise extend someone’s lifespan

Study These Flashcards
A
  • life extending benefits of exercise correlate more with preventing early mortality than improving overall life span
  • while the max life span may not extend greatly, only moderate exercise enables many men & women to live a more productive & healthy life
20
Q

How can sedentary white women lower their all cause mortality rates

Study These Flashcards
A
  • increase physical activity to the equivalent of 1 mile per day of walking can exhibit mortality rates about 40-50% lower than chronically sedentary counterparts
21
Q

What should you consider when determining an exercise program

Study These Flashcards
A
  • individual’s goals
  • physical ability
  • health status
  • available equipment
22
Q

What are the components of an exercise training session

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Warm up: 5-10 min of low to moderate intensity
  • Conditioning: 20-60 min of aerobic, resistance, neuromuscular, and/or sport activities
  • Cool down: 5-10 min of low to moderate intensity
  • Stretching: 10 min of stretching exercises performed after the warm up or cool down
23
Q

What is the FITT principle for the conditioning phase

Study These Flashcards
A

F = frequency
I = intensity
T = time (duration)
T = type (mode)

24
Q

Frequency of exercise based on intensity

Study These Flashcards
A

5 days/week: moderate intensity aerobic, weight bearing, flexibility
3 days/week: vigorous intensity aerobic, weight bearing, flexibility
3-5 days/week: a combination of moderate & vigorous intensity aerobic, weight bearing, flexibility
2-3 days/week: muscular strength & endurance, resistance, calisthenics, balance, & agility

25
What intensity is recommended as the minimum to achieve health/fitness benefits
- moderate intensity (intensity that noticeably increases HR & breathing)
26
What intensity is ideal to achieve health.fitness benefits in most adults
- a combination of moderate & vigorous intensity (intensity that results in substantial increases in HR & breathing)
27
Methods to quantify exercise intensity
- HR reserve (HRR) the most common - VO2 reserve (VO2R) - ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) - OMNI (gives you pictures to describe intensity) - talk test - affective valence (subjective of how they feel in their own words) - absolute energy expenditure per minute - % age predicted HR max - % oxygen uptake (%VO2) - metabolic equivalents (METs)
28
What are the issues with 220 - age to determine HR max
- underestimates HR max for both genders < 40 years - overestimates HR max for both genders > 40 years
29
What is the more accurate predictor of HR max
- MR max = 206.9 - (0.67 x age)
30
How do you calculate HRR
- HR max = 220 - age - HRR = HR max - resting HR - take 60% and 70% of HRR - add back resting HR to the 60-70% HRR values - this gives you a BPM range
31
Describe time (duration)
- amount of time physical activity is performed - total caloric expenditure - may be continuous or intermittent - recommended minimum is 100 kcal per week, about 150 min per week, 30 min a day - 3,000 to 4,000 steps per day
32
Describe mode (type)
- exercise should be rhythmic, aerobic type of moderate intensity, & large muscle groups - exercise requiring little skill to perform is recommended for all adults to improve health/fitness - exercise & sports requiring skill to perform or at higher levels of fitness are recommended only for people possessing adequate skill & fitness to perform that activity
33
Describe rate of progression
- any component of FITT may be increased - initially gradually increased duration by 5-10 minutes every 1-2 weeks over the first 4-6 weeks - after 1 month or more frequency & intensity may be gradually adjusted until recommended quality & quantity of exercise is met - increase duration or frequency before increasing intensity
34
Describe muscular fitness
- may be weight lifting or other devices - should improve strength, endurance, & power - one goal is to maintain fitness to perform activities of daily living - another goal is to manage, attenuate, or prevent chronic diseases
35
Describe resistance training guidelines for healthy adults
- 2 to 4 sets for each major muscle group (chest, shoulders, abdomen, back, hips, legs, arms) - should include 8 to 10 multipoint or compound exercises involving more than one muscle group - 2 to 3 days per week for each major muscle group - any single muscle group should be rested at least 48 hours between sessions - 8 to 12 reps per set muscle should be fatigued but not to failure (60-80% 1-RM) - exercises should include both concentric and eccentric contractions throughout the full ROM
36
Describe flexibility exercises/stretching
- improves ROM and /or counters loss of ROM with aging - at least 10 minutes involving the major muscle tendon groups - 4 or more reps per muscle group - 2 to 3 days per week - stretches should be performed to the limits of discomfort (mild tightness) but no further
37
Describe neuromuscular exercsie
- includes balance and proprioceptive training - 2 to 3 days per week - recommended particularly for older persons who are at increased risk of falling
38
Strategies to enhance exercise adherence
- assessment of self motivation may be useful - assessment of readiness for exercise (state of change) may be useful - exercise programming and counseling should be client centered
