Q

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

A

Eat meat and
vegetables, nuts and seeds, some
fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to
levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean,
squat, presses, C&J (clean and jerk), and snatch.
Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pullups,
dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses
to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.
Bike, run, swim, row, etc., hard and fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements in as
many combinations and patterns as creativity will
allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short
and intense.
Regularly learn and play new sports.

183
definition Core to Extremity movement -
C2E movements demonstrate a sequence of muscular contraction that begin with "large-force-producing-low-velocity" muscles of the core (abs & erectors) and the hips - and ends with the "small-force-producing-high-velocity" muscles of the extremities (biceps, calves, wrist flexors) Starts with establishing midline stabilization for effective force transfer.

Key Principles of the Masters' Quadrant - 5
✔- resolving injury (injured) or maximizing functionality (diseased) takes the highest priority - Late Masters should have loads reduced (or modified) - An Unfit Early Master should be treated the same as a Fit Late Master - wellness athletes need a broad stimulus in order to achieve broad fitness - programming for competitors should be biased towards skills that are commonly tested in competition
202
Key Considerations wellness athlete (Masters' athlete) 6
-goal is general health & wellbeing - social interaction is important -key theme = quality of life - overly concerned about safety - focus is personal improvement - novelty of workouts is a motivator

What is an Atrium & what is its function?
a small chamber in the upper segment of the heart. Humans have 2 atria. The function of the atria is to accept blood from the circulatory blood vessels & move it with pressure into the lower segment of the heart.
237
What is a Ventricle & what is its function?
✔a large chamber in the lower segment of the heart. Humans have 2 ventricles. The function of the ventricles is to pump blood OUT if the heart & into the system.
238
What is the Pulmonary side?
✔The right segment (right atrium & right ventricle) of the heart. It receives oxygen depleted blood from the body & routes it to the lungs for oxygenation.
239
What is the Systemic side?
The left segment (left atrium & left ventricle) of the heart. It receives oxygenated blood from the lungs & delivers it to the body. (Systemic Circulation)
240
What is the ventricular septum?
✔the common muscular wall between the left & right ventricles.
241
which of the ventricles has a thicker wall? Why?
✔the left ventricle - the left ventricle muscle has to produce more force to move blood through the systemic circulation
242
Which of the two side of the hearts is the low pressure side? -
✔✔The right side (25mmHG of pressure)
243
How much pressure does the left side create? -
✔✔100mmHG of pressure
244
What is pulmonary circulation? -
✔✔blood flow between heart and lungs
245
What is a myocyte? -
✔✔an individual muscle cell
246
What are the differences between a cardiac myocyte & a skeletal myocyte? -
✔✔the shape, how it communicates with neighboring cells, nucleus - only 1 in cardiac myocyte, many in skeletal
247
What goes first, electrical activity or contraction? -
✔✔electrical activity MUST proceed contraction, it's what stimulates the heart to beat!
248
What are the 7 components to the cardio-electro-conductive pathway? -
✔✔1) sinoatrial node 2) atrioventricular node 3) bundle of His 4) left & right branches 5) Purkinje fibers 6) inter-nodal tract 7) Bachmann's bundle

✔✔pulmonary system
251
How does blood leave the heart and where does it go? -
✔✔through the aorta to systemic circulation
252
what is coronary circulation? -
✔✔coronary arteries feed into the cardiac muscle & keep the heart supplied with everything it needs. (heart attack arteries)
253
What is hypertrophy? -
✔✔an anatomical enlargement of a cell or tissue
254
What is pathological hypertrophy? -
✔✔characterized by an increase in the size of the heart - specifically the left ventricle. The dimensions of the heart get bigger (like a balloon) - there's no added muscle mass, muscle walls are thin. it corrupts pumping efficiency. (BAD)
255
what is eccentric hypertrophy? -
✔✔a beneficial adaptation that allows the heart to pump around higher volumes of blood more efficiently. The overvall heart mass gets larger - through needed added muscle mass (heart overall - increase mostly in left ventricle) to keep the ventricular wall at normall thickness. Also known as runners' heart.
256
what is concentric hypertrophy? -
✔✔a beneficial adaptation that allows the heart to move blood throughout the body against high pressures of resistance. High resistance pressures occur anytime there is an occlusion (afsluiting) of blood vessels. (high intensity/ high resistance training) Chamber sizes stay the same, but there is more muscle mass added to the left ventricular walls that increases their thickness.
257
Artery (slagader) - function -
✔✔carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
