FITNESS STUDY PREP Flashcards
(205 cards)
The PAR-Q is an example of what kind of assessment?
Subjective
How can a trainer support a client in the action stage?
Continuing educating them about the benefits of exercise
To help a client safely progress through to hypertrophy training, which of the following phases of the Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model should be completed first?
Strength Endurance
Power
Maximal Strength
Dynamic Strength
Strength Endurance
How do mechanoreceptors function?
Mechanoreceptors respond to alterations in touch, sound, pressure, or motion in the body tissue
Dissassociation
A cognitive-behavioral approach in which the individual focuses on the external environment, such as noticing the scenery or listening to music
Can act as a distraction from the pain and fatigue that is present during exercise
How does exercise improve sleep?
It lessens stress, anxiety, and depression.
If an individual demonstrates knock knees during an overhead squat, all of the following altered joint mechanics are present except what?
Decreased hip abduction
Increased hip external rotation
Decreased ankle dorsiflexion
Increased hip external rotation
Which of the following health indicators is reflected in the PAR-Q+ and preparticipation process?
Desired exercise intensity
Which principle assumes that the volume of fluid displaced by an object is equivalent to the volume of the object fully immersed in that fluid or to the specific fraction of the volume below the surface?
Archimede’s Principle
Which population is Stand Up to Figure 8 geared towards?
Seniors
Which population are L.E.F.T. Drills geared towards?
Adult Athletes
Which population are circuits mainly geared towards?
Weight-Loss Clients
What is Vertical Loading?
A resistance training system that alternates the body parts trained from set to set, starting from the upper extremity moving to the lower extremity
Provides maximal recovery to the body parts that are not working while others are working
Usually in a circuit setting, with little to no rest between each exercise and longer rest in between sets
What is Horizontal Loading?
Refers to performing all sets of an exercise or body part before moving on to the next exercise or body part
Rest periods are anywhere from 30-90 seconds; time consuming af!
What are the recommended acute training variables for older adults (Frequency, Sets, Reps, Intensity)?
Frequency: 3-5 days a week
Sets: 1-3
Reps: 8-20
Intensity: 40-80% of 1RM
What is the best time increment for measuring an individual’s heart rate during exercise?
Measuring an individual’s heart rate every 6 seconds.
For example, let’s say an individual’s heart rate is 15 bpm every 6 seconds. Multiply 15 x 10 and the individual’s beat per minute would be 150 bpm.
What is the Valsalva Maneuver? Which populations should avoid it?
Holding in breath during exercise to create more intra abdominal pressure, which creates more stability and rigidity to support heavy loads
Individuals with hypertension
What are the three components of Total Energy Expenditure (TEE)?
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): the energy expended for basic body functions
Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): the energy used to store and process food.
Energy Expended during Physical Activity: The energy used in physical activity
What does autogenic mean?
Self-generated
What is the Tanaka Formula?
A mathematical formula used to estimate an individual’s maximal heart rate
208 - (0.7 x Age)
What are the four signs of the exhaustion stage of General Adaptation Syndrome?
Stress fracture
Persistent or severe joint pain
Emotional fatigue
Strains
What are the components of the alarm reaction stage in General Adaption Syndrome?
Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) & Increases in sleep and nutrient needs
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
When the body’s immune system attacks a person’s body rather than harmful substances, causing joint degeneration
Those with rheumatoid arthritis typically experience early morning stiffness, which means exercise at this time of day should be avoided.
What are 4 nutrient-based values that are considered Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI’s)?
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)
Adequate Intake (AI)
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
