Q

Cause of burnout

Study These Flashcards
A

Too much training stress and not enough recovery time/source of motivation

21
Q

Signs of burnout

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Feelings of mental, emotional and physical exhaustion

- drop/plateau in motivation and performance

22
Q

Preventing burnout

Study These Flashcards
A
  • parents, coaches, trainers, should promote participation in a variety of training/activities
  • focus on quality of training instead of quantity
  • important for the athlete to test when signs appear
23
Q

Therapeutic exercise

Study These Flashcards
A

Utilization of exercise programs to improve motor function to a level that enables people to meet personal or career goals

24
Q

Sports medicine

Study These Flashcards
A

Prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries

25
Goals of therapeutic exercise *know 2*
1. Restore muscle function and strength 2. Increase joint range of motion 3. Improve proprioception (kinesthetic awareness/recognize where body is in space; modify) 4. Increase cardiovascular and pulmonary function
26
Athletic trainer
- Professional who attends to the direct health care of athletes or others engaged in physical activity - works under the supervision of a licensed physician
27
Physical therapist
A professional who provides rehabilitative care to a diverse population with a wide range of injuries, illnesses, and diseases
28
Therapy components
- diagnostic tests - manual techniques - therapeutic exercise - modalities
29
Occupational therapy
A professional who assists people with disabilities to restore or maintain independence in daily living
30
OTs specialize in:
- functional bracing - modification of everyday activities - trade-specific and work-related rehabilitation
31
Who could benefit from OT?
- children with disabilities - those recovering from an injury - elderly adults experiencing physical/cognitive changes
32
OT vs. PT
OT: aimed at improving functional daily activities or “occupation” PT: aimed T improving dysfunctions and treating a person’s injury with manual techniques
33
Strength and conditioning specialist
- design resistance and cardiovascular training programs based on demands of specific sports - may work together with ATCs, PTs, or doctors
34
Strength and conditioning specialist Professional settings *know 2*
- universities - health clubs - professional teams - corporate fitness
35
Biomechanics
Study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement of or structure of living organisms Uses concepts of physics
36
Factors affecting human performance:
- sensations - anatomy - the environment - prior experience
37
Goals of biomechanics
Understand how the basic laws of physics affect and shape the structure and function of the human body
38
Apply biomechanics knowledge to:
- improve the outcomes of movements | - increase or maintain the safety/health of tissues
39
Biomechanics research focus
- center of gravity - projection of the body or an object - transfer of momentum
40
Center of gravity
Average location of the weight of an object Location or COG can vary from person to person
41
Newton’s 1st law
Law of inertia: an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted in by a force
42
Newton’s 2nd law
Law of acceleration: acceleration is produced when a force (the action) acts on a mass -the greater the mass, the greater the amount of force is needed
43
Newton’s 3rd Law
Law of Action & Reaction: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction -when an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction with equal force
44
Wolff’s Law
If enough force is applied to bones, and is done so rapidly, bone will be stimulated to increase mass If no force is placed on bones, mass will be lost Sprinters v. Long distance runners
45
Ergonomist
Utilized principles of biomechanics to ensure the health, safety, and comfort of those in a given setting - equipment development - job site analysis
46
What is basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
Amount of energy expended while at rest
47
How many kcals are in carbohydrates?
4kcals/gram
48
How many kcals are in fat?
9 kcals/gram
49
How many kcals are in protein?
4 kcals/gram
