Newton’s Three Laws?
- Inertia
- Acceleration
- Reaction
Newton’s Law of Inertia (#1)
To overcome something’s inertia requires a force to be applied.
Newton’s Law of Acceleration (#2)
A force is equal to the product of an object’s mass times its acceleration.
Newton’s Law of Reaction (#3)
For every force there is a reaction equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
“Work” definition
Metabolic amount of activity someone does
“Mechanical work” definition
Product of magnitude of force creating a change in position and the amount of linear displacement
Work equation
W = F x D
“Power” definition
Rate of work
Power equation
P = W / T
METs definition
Used to estimate the amount of energy used during activities
MET equivalent to …
3.5 mL/kg/min
Health Belief Theory
Behavior change is predicted by a person’s feelings of susceptibility to health consequences.
Theory of Planned Behavior
The intention to mark behavior changes lead to actual change.
Goal Setting Theory
Setting goals leads to changing behavior. SMART goals
