Q

Dynamic nature of Health

A

Dynamic = constantly changing
1) Health fluctuates constantly
2) Health affected by:
- Social interaction
- Mental health
- Physical activity
- Diet
Relative nature of health
- Health means different things to us at different times in our life
- Health means different things depending on our current situation
- Health means different things to different people
- Its relative to our beliefs, values, customs and preconceived ideas.
Relative nature of health is quite “subjective”. Individuals will place different levels of value on different dimensions.

Q

Health promotion Approaches

A

1) Individual/Behavioural Approach
lifestyle: if the individual is given relevant information about health lifestyles then they will be able to live a healthier life.

2) Preventative Medical Approach
- This health approach focuses on the idea of “preventing the health problem/issue from occurring or limiting its impact
- can involves the use of drugs, immunisation

3) Public health approach
- seeks to change some of the ‘social determinants’ associated with being healthy
low education fees, parent involvement in school/clubs, welfare program

29
Q

Modifiable Health Determinants

A

We have control over or can change
- Diet, level of physical activity and whether we partake in risky activities. smoking, drinking etc

Our willingness to change depends on

  • our ability to source information
  • the level of control we feel we feel we have
  • the level of skill we have
30
Q

Non-Modifiable Health Determinants

A
  • Refers to factors that we cannot change
  • An individuals predisposition to certain diseases
  • we cannot change our genes, advancing age and gender
  • Environment (to a lesser extent) is also classified as non modifiable due to economic forces like cast of land, location or industry and location of cheaper housing.
31

2) Non-government organisation
3) Community groups and schools
4) International organisations - W.H.O, Unicef
5) Individuals

32
Q

Function of the skeletal system

A

1) support for the body, give shape
2) Protect vital organs and soft tissue
3) Assist in movement by providing attachment for muscles
4) Storage of essential minerals: calcium and phospherus

33
Q

Types of bone

A

Long and short = generally act as levers to or transfer forces
Flat = Provide protection for vital organs

34
Q

Parts of bone

A

1) Articular cartilage = softer but hard wearing covering
at the end of bones where the joints exist. prevents
bones rubbing on each other and allows them to
move freely
2) Compact bone = hard outer casing of the bone.
3) Cancellous bone = spongy bone, light but strong.
Contains blood vessels, fat and blood forming tissue
4) Bone marrow = fill the centre cavity of the bone,
contains blood vessels, fat and blood forming tissue

35
Q

Anatomical terms

A 
Superior = towards the head
Inferior = towards the feet
Anterior = towards the front
Posterior = towards the back
Medial = towards the middle
lateral = towards the side of the body
Proximal = towards the bodies mass
Distal = away from the bodies mass
36
Q

Bone Joints

A

1) fibrous (immoveable) = a joint where no movement is possible
- skull
2) Cartilaginous (slightly moveable) = a joint that permits limited movement
- vertebral column
3) Synovial (freely moveable) = joints that allow maximum movement. most common types
- shoulder

37
Q

Structure of a synovial joint

A

Ligaments (bone to bone) = fibrous, tough bonds that join bone to bone, they provide joint stability by limiting excessive movement.

Tendons (muscle to bone) = a tough, inelastic cards that join muscle to bone, also provide stability as some tendons stretch across joints and assist ligaments to hold joint closed.

Synovial fluid = acts as lubricant for joint. forms a fluid cushion for the joint and provides nutrients for the cartilage.

Hyaline Cartilage = essentially the padding at the end of the bones where they ‘articulate’. Has limited blood supply so relies on nourishment from the synovial fluid

38
Q

Joint actions

A

Flexion
Extension
Abduction: movement away from body line
adduction: movement towards the midline
Circumduction: movement at the end of a bone in a circular motion
rotation: movement of the body part around a central access
Pronation: Rotation of hand so the thumb moves in towards the body
Supernation: Rotation of hand so the thumb moves outward
Eversion: Face the sole of the foot outwards - twist ankle out
Inversion: Face the sole of foot inwards - twist ankle in
Dorsi flexion: decrease joint angle at the ankle and foot
Planter flexion: increase joint angle at ankle and foot
Elevation: movement of shoulders towards head - shrugging shoulders
Depression: movement of shoulders away from head - return shoulders to normal position

39
Q

Types of Joints

A

1) Ball and socket (shoulder joint)
2) Hinge joint (elbow joint)
3) Condyloid/ellipsoid (wrist joint)
4) Gliding/sliding (bones in wrist/ankles)
5) Pivot (neck, allows head to twist)
6) Saddle (thumb joint)

40
Q

Muscle Relationships

A

Agonist
Antagonist
Stabiliser: assists with the movement by giving the muscles a fixed base.

41
Q

Types of Muscle Contractions

A

Concentric - muscle contracts to produce movement
Eccentric - muscle relaxes to produce movement
Isometric - muscle contracts and the size of the muscle remains unchanged
Isotonic - muscle shortens to produce movement (concentric and eccentric)

42
Q

The respiratory system

A

The process of drawing oxygen into our body and removing carbon dioxide from inside our body is called respiration

nasal cavity
mouth
Pharynx
larynx
trachea
bronchi 
bronchioles
alveoli

Diaphragm

43
Q

Inspiration

A

The diaphragm contracts (flattens) as the intercostal muscles move upwards and outwards

44
Q

Expiration

A

the diaphragm relaxes (bends upwards) as intercostal muscles lower the rib cage.

45
Q

Gas Exchange

A
  • blood vessels offload Carbon dioxide into the alveoli whilst Oxygen replaces it.
  • The difference in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels is called the ‘concentration gradient’
  • The oxygen binds itself with the haemoglobin and at the same time carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood stream.
46
Q

Effect of physical activity on respiration

A

Lung capacity increases = volume of air in the lungs at different stages of the respiratory cycle - male 6L female 4.5L

vital capacity = the volume of air breathed out after the deepest inhalation

Tidal volume = Normal resting breathing. total amount of air inhaled or exhaled in a single breath

Residual volume = volume of air left over after maximal expiration

47
Q

Blood

A

1) transport oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste products and carbon dioxide
2) protect the body via the immune system and clot to prevent blood loss
3) regulate body temp and fluid temperature

48
Q

Components of blood

A

Plasma = 54% of blood. 92% water and 8% protein. in charge of transport and delivery of nutrients

White blood cells = fight infection

Platelets = clot bleeding

red blood cells = carry oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our bodies

49
Q

Circulatory system organs

A

heart = pump blood around the body

arteries = carry blood away from the heart

veins = carry blood to the heart

capillaries = connect veins and arteries whilst distributing materials such as oxygen, between the blood and tissue cells.

50
Q

Systematic and pulmonary circulatory systems

A

Systemic circulation: the circuit of blood to and from the body

Pulmonary circulation: the circuit of blood to and from the lungs

51
Q

The cardiac cycle

A

The process of the heart receiving blood and pumping to the lungs is called the cardiac cycle

1) diastole phase = the filling phase
2) systole phase = the atria contract to fill ventricles then the ventricle contracts to push blood under pressure to the lungs and other parts of the body.

52
Q

blood pressure

A

the force exerted by blood on the walls of the blood vessels. it generally reflects the quantity of blood being pushed our of the heart and the ease or difficulty it encounters through the arteries.

affected by...
cardiac output
volume of blood circulation
resistance to blood flow
Venous return

two phases

1) Diastolic
2) Systolic

53
Q

Physical fitness components

3) agility
4) coordination
5) balence
6) reaction time

54
Q

F.I.T.T principle

A 
Frequency = 3-4 times/week
Intensity = between 60%-80% depending on fitness level
Time = changes but about 30 minutes per day
Type = is the exercise valid?
55
Q

Immediate physiological responses to training

A

Heart Rate = BPM
Ventilation Rate = Amount of time spent inhaling and exhaling
Stroke Volume = Amount of blood ejected by the heart per contraction
Cardiac Output = The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute
Lactate Levels = Chemical formed in the body during the breakdown of carbs in absence of oxygen. This increases to a point called the Lactate inflection point (80-90% of MHR). The accumulation of lactate and hydrogen irons is to great for the body to deal with

56
Q

Value of Outdoor Recreation

A

ASHES

  • Appreciating the environment
  • Stress management/relaxation
  • Health and fitness
  • Enjoyment, challenge and excitement
  • Social interaction
57
Q

Campsite selection

A

Water - adequate amounts. 4m above river bed
Site - flat ground and free of sticks, rocks, bones,
animals. clear of dead tree limbs. Sand or grass?
Fires - are their fire bands? is there an existing fireplace
Toilet Facility - Are there toilet facilities. position the toilet
away from water supply and downwind camp
Camp site waste disposal - carry put everything that is
carried in. pick up any rubbish found
Privacy and Shelter - is the area secluded? Does the site
provide shelter from prevailing winds? sun or shade?
Hazards - Swampy areas that may attract mosquitos.
potential hazards like cliffs, dead trees, falling rocks
and mine shafts

58
Q

Stages of Group Development

A

1) Forming
- most team members are positive and polite. Leader plays a dominant role because groups roles and responsibilities aren’t clear
2) Storming
- Teams can fail. People may work in different ways, leading to conflict which can cause frustration. may challenge for authority. may question the worth of the team goal.
3) Norming
- People may start to resolve differences, appreciate colleagues strengths and respect leaders. may socialise better, provide better constructive feedback and progress towards goal. may lapse between storming and norming
4) Transforming
- little to none friction to achieving goal. The structures/processes set up are working well. leaders can delegate work and concentrate on developing team members
5) Adjourning
- Completing their goal and moving on. some may find this hard

59
Q

Leadership Styles

A

1) Autocratic (authoritarian) = their way or no way. may use threats or yelling. appropriate in emergency or high risk scenario
2) Democratic = Seeks input from participants but ultimately has the decision. not as effective when quick decision is needed
3) Strategic non-intervention = Similar to democratic but sets out rules and instructions and then lets the group decide on how to run themselves. They step in when there is safety issues and may guide pathways
4) Lassez-faire = Leader essentially does very little. allow all decision and choices to be made bu the group regardless of outcome

60
