Q

Define Stage of Readiness.

What are the 5 stages?

Motivation exists on a contimum of readiness

Q
  • What is lack of self-efficacy? Give an example
  • What 4 tools improve self-efficacy?
A
  • Lack of self-efficacy = lack of confidence in his/her ability to perform specific actions leading to a successful behavior outcome
    • Poor self-concept/lack social physique anxiety → lack of confidence in ability to perform actions to improve physique
  • 4 things ↑ Self efficacy:
    1. Performance accomplishments
      • Goal accomplishments build confidence
    2. Modeling effects
      • Seeing other perform target behavior → imitative behavior
    3. Verbal persuasion
      • Encouragement from a respected source = “you have potential”
    4. Physiological arousal or anxiety
      • Client may judge arousal negatively (“I’m too nervous”) or positively (“I’m ready”)

Q
  • Define Self-Motivation theory, intrinsic and extrinsically motivated behavior.
  • What are the 4 stages on continuum?
A
  • Self-determination/internalization = people operate on motivational continuum of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
    • Intrinsically motivated behavior - behavior engaged in for sense of enjoyment/fun
    • Extrinsically motivated behavior - behavior to achieve external goal or outcome
  1. Amotivation
    • ​total lack of intrinsic or extrinsic motivation
  2. External regulation
    • Engages in behavior to avoid punishment, not for personal satisfaction
  3. Introjected regulation:
    • exercise as means to valued end (e.g. correct form during training internalized to please trainer)
  4. Identified regulation
    • ​Sees PT’s instructions as beneficial
    • Follows PT’s leadership instead of initiating behavior
  5. Integrated regulation
    • Client has internalized value of exercise behavior
    • Engages in it freely
    • client and PT agree on goals

Q
  • What are relaxation exercises for mental imagery and what is our default state when sitting?
  • Describe example of progressive relaxation and what it teaches
A
  • Relaxation Exercise for mental imagery = mental conditioning exercises, must be performed in a relaxed state. Often our muscles are tense even when we are sitting.
  • Progressive relaxation = individual tightens each muscle group, one at a time and follows contraction with full relaxation Teaches to differentiate between sensations of muscle tension/relaxation

Q

What are 3 objectives of medical/health appraisal

A
  1. Identify any potential risks associated with client’s present health status

Q

What are 3 benefits of PARQ what are 2 drawbacks?

A
  • Benefits
    1. Identifies individuals who require additional medical screening
    2. Does not exclude those who would benefit from participation in low-intensity activity
    3. Cheap
  • Drawbacks
    1. Designed to determine exercise safety and not necessarily CAD risk factors.
    2. Limited ability to identify medications and contraindications to exercise
17
Q
  • What is a Health/Medical Questionnaire?
  • What does it identify?
  • How does it differ from PARQ?
  • What sorts of questions does it ask?
A
  • Health/Medical Questionnaire = tool for assessing the appropriateness of moderate and vigorous levels of exercise in that it can:
  • Identify positive coronary risk factors associated with:
    • CAD
    • Sudden cardiac death risk factors
    • Existing diagnosed pathologies
    • Orthopedic concerns
    • Recent operations
    • Personal history of suggested signs and symptoms, medications, supplements, and lifestyle management.
  • Identifies risk factors (which PAR-Q does not) and some contraindications.
  • Present/Past medical symptoms/conditions, family history
18
Q

What are 2 purposes of administering lifestyle questionnaire?

A
  1. Evaluate personal choices, and patterns related to dietary intake, management of stress, level of physical activity and other practices that may affect person’s health, CAD risk factors, and risk stratification.
  2. Clarify and confirm personal issues possibly perceived as assets or obstacles to client’s success. Info for developing goals.
19
Q

What 3 categories of questions on lifestyle questionnaire and what is benefit/insight of these questions?

A
  1. Dietary intake
    • Correlation b/w dietary sat fat and cholesterol and development of atherosclerosis (plaque buildup)
    • Under consumption → osteoporosis
    • Over consumption → obesity and diabetes
    • Sodium → chronic elevation of SBP/worsen heart failure
  2. Physical activity levels
    • Note signs and symptoms associated with activity
    • No/low physical activity ↑ risk of CAD
  3. Stress management
    • Correlation between stress and CAD Type A behavior patterns may contribute to overall risk for developing CAD
