Biomechancis
study of human movement
Kinesiology
the study of human muscular movement; especially as applied in exercise science and physical activity. Based on anatomy, physiology, and physics.
MET
- oxygen consumed in mL/kg of body weight/minute. It is equal to approximately3.5 mL/kg/min.
Kilocalorie
the energy value of food. It is the amount of heat necessary to raise 1 Kg of water 1ﹾC
Rest METs
1
Light Activity METs
2-2.9
Moderate Activity METs
3-5.9 METs
Vigorous activity METs
6-8.8
Strength
maximal force a muscle group can generate.
Power
the rate of performing work
Power = force x distance / time
Muscular Endurance
the capacity to sustain repeated muscle actions or a single static contraction
Maximum Oxygen Consumption
- The body’s capacity to use oxygen
- Measured when performing exercise that utilizes large muscles.
- Maximum amount of energy consumed per minute.
- mL/Kg/min
Maximal aerobic power is the
maximal capacity for aerobic resynthesis of ATP.
Aerobic Power
The rate of energy release by metabolic processes that depend on the involvement and availability of oxygen
Anaerobic Power
The rate of energy release by metabolic processes that function without the involvement of oxygen
Maximal anaerobic power is the
maximal capacity of the anaerobic system to produce ATP
Individuality:
Any training program must consider the specific needs and abilities of the individual for whom it is designed.
Specificity:
Adaptations to training are highly specific to the nature of the training activity and should be carefully matched to an athlete’s specific performance needs.
Reversibility:
Training programs must include a maintenance plan to ensure that the gains from training are not lost
- Progressive Overload
- The training stimulus must be progressively increased as the body adapts to the current stimulus.
Hard/Easy
Programs must alternate high-intensity workouts with low-intensity workouts to help the body recover and achieve optimal training adaptations.
Periodization
The gradual cycling of specificity, intensity, and volume of training to achieve peak levels of fitness for competition.
CV Health
- Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- Improves blood lipid profiles
- Lowers blood pressure
- Enhances insulin sensitivity
- Decreases inflammation markers (C-reactive protein).
- Benefits include individuals with preexisting CVD
Resistance exercise enhances;
–blood glucose utilization, reduces resting blood pressure, and improves vascular function .
