Q

2 general categories of skeletal muscle based on how quickly it contracts

A
  1. fast-twitch muscle fibres (aka type II muscle fibers)
  2. slow-twitch muscle fibres (aka Slow-oxidative; type I muscle fibres)
    -relatively more mitochondria
    -surrounded by more capillaries
    -higher concentrations of myoglobin
    -contract more slowly than fast-twitch fibres
    -create lower force outputs
    -more efficient than fast-twitch fibres
    &raquo_space; more resistant to fatigue

    -limited capacity for aerobic metabolism
    -fatigue more easily than slow-twitch fibres
    cannot sustain more than few seconds.
  2. type IIa
    - used for strength and power activities
    - sustain effort longer than type IIx fibres up to 3 mins in highly trained athletes
    - highly adaptable
    - increase oxidative capacity to levels similar to slow-twitch fibres

Q

types of muscular actions

A
  1. Static (Isometric) action - come from co-contraction, external force e.g. gracity
    > used in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching techniques
    > balance and stabilization training
    > e.g. v-sit, hold at the top of a push-up
  2. Concentric (Shortening) action - muscle shortens and overcomes resistive force.
    > e.g. up phase of biceps curl with a dumbbell.
  3. Eccentric (Lengthening) action - muscle is producing force and is ‘lengthening, or returning to its resting length from a shortened position. slowering the descent of a weight.
    > e.g. biceps brachii act eccentrically int he return phase of a ciceps curl performed with a dumbbell.

88
Q

Does performing a cartwheel requires static balance?

A

No. Dynamic balance is the ability

89
Q

Is this statement true?

Joint mobility must never be attained by compromising joint stability.

A

True

90
Q

When looking to improve joint stability, open-chain exercises should be performed. True or false?

A

False.

In an open-chain exercise, the end of the chain fartherst from the body is free, such as in a seated leg extension. Open-chain exercises tend to involve more shearing forces at the joints, while closed-chain exercises tend to emphasize compression of joints, which helps stabilize the joints. Additionally, closed-chain exercises involve more muscles and joints than open-chain exercise, whic leads to better neuromuscular coordination and overall stability at the joints.

91
Q

Autogenic inhibition

A

relaxation response to an extreme stretch

GTO prevents from tearing, prevents muscle spindle response

92
Q

Reciprocal inhibition

A

neural mechanism that allows an antagonist to relax when agonist muscle is contracted

93
Q

Stretching techniques

A
  1. Static stretch 15-30s; 3 to 4 x

Passive stretch

94
Q

3 basic types of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretches

A
  1. hold-relax technique
    &raquo_space; after passive 10s pre-stretch
    &raquo_space; hold 6s so isometric muscle contraction occurs
    &raquo_space; relax muscle group and allows a passive stretch 30s
  2. contract-relax
    &raquo_space; after passive 10s pre-stretch
    &raquo_space; push against the force provided by the fitness pro so concentric muscle contraction occurs
    &raquo_space; relax muscle group and allows a passive stretch 30s
  3. hold-relax with agonist contraction
    &raquo_space; after passive 10s pre-stretch
    &raquo_space; hold 6s so isometric muscle contraction occurs
    &raquo_space; concentric action of the opposing muscle group is added during the final passive stretch
    &raquo_space; most effective since it utilises both reciprocal and autogenic inhibition

for each technique, partner provides a passive pre-stretch of 10 seconds as initial step.

95
Q

Neurological properties of Stretching

A

tissues change form in response to the force that’s placed upon them. Depends on:

  1. type of tissue
  2. amount of force
  3. temperature of tissue
96
Q

Passive stretch

A

3rd party adding force on the stretch

97

99
Q

Ballistic stretching

A

stretch that incorporates bouncing type movements

100
Q

Active isolated stretching

A

original for surgery patients, follows a design similar to a traditional strength-training workout

stretch are never held for more than 2s.
stretch is then released, return to starting position
repeat several reps with each subsequent movement exceeding the resistance point by a few degrees

101
Q

What kind of stretching is more likely to result in plastic, or permanent, lengthening

A

low-force, longer-duration stretches at elevated tissue temperatures

102
Q

114
Q

An individual is using a resistance band to perform very short-duration (less than 2 seconds per stretch) hamstring stretches in sets of eight repetitions. What flexibility-training technique is this person using?

A

Active isolated stretching

Active isolated stretching follows a design similar to a traditional strength-training workout. Instead of holding stretches for 15 to 30 seconds at a point of resistance (i.e., mild discomfort), stretches are never held for more than two seconds. The stretch is then released, the body segment returned to the starting position, and the stretch is repeated for several repetitions.

115
Q

Barring structural differences in the skeletal system, a pronated ankle ________________.

A

Forces internal rotation of the tibia and slightly less internal rotation of the femur

Ankle pronation forces internal rotation at the knee and places additional stresses on some knee ligaments and the integrity of the joint itself. Additionally, as pronation tends to move the calcaneus into eversion, this may actually lift the outside of the heel slightly off the ground (moving the ankle into plantarflexion). In turn, this may tighten the calf muscles and potentially limit ankle dorsiflexion.

116
Q

The coupling relationship between tight __________ and __________ is defined as the lower-cross syndrome (LCS).

A

Hip flexors; erector spinae

Tight or overdominant hip flexors are generally coupled with tight erector spinae muscles, producing an anterior pelvic tilt. This coupling relationship between tight hip flexors and erector spinae is defined as the lower-cross syndrome.

A posterior pelvic tilt is caused by tightness in the rectus abdominis and hamstrings.

117
Q

122
Q

During the hurdle step screen, you observe that the client exhibits an anterior pelvic tilt with a forward torso lean. What muscles should you suspect of being underactive or weak?

A

Rectus abdominis and hip extensors

If a client exhibits an anterior tilt with a forward torso lean, he or she likely has overactive or tight stance-leg hip flexors and underactive or weak rectus abdominis and hip extensors.

123
Q

During the Thomas Test, you observe that when the client holds the back and sacrum flat, the back of the lowered thigh touches the table, but the knee does not flex to 80 degrees. What muscle(s) should you suspect of being tight?

A

Rectus femoris

Why?

When a client is unable to flex the knee to 80 degrees, a personal trainer should suspect tightness in the rectus femoris, which does not allow the knee to bend.

124
Q

161
Q

You are performing the YMCA submaximal Step Test on a 40 year old, apparently healthy, female client who you have been working with for the past 4 weeks. After completing the 3-minute assessment you immediately have the client sit down and measure her heart rate for 1 minute. Her post exercise heart rate is recorded as 96 beats per minute. How would you classify this client’s cardiorespiratory endurance?

A

Good

Why?

Based on the data presented in Table 8-17, a woman between the ages of 36 and 45 who has a post-exercise heart rate of 96 beats per minute would be classified as having “Good” cardiorespiratory endurance. Lower heart rates following the test correlate with higher cardiorespiratory endurance (for both men and women). Conversely, higher heart rates suggest lower levels of cardiorespiratory endurance.

190
Q

Contributing to cell membrane function, making bile acids essential for fat absorption, metabolizing fat-soluble vitamins, and making vitamin D are all functions of which nutrient?

A

Cholesterol

Why?

Cholesterol, a fat-like, waxy, rigid four-ring structure, plays an important role in cell membrane function. It also helps to make bile acids (which are important for fat absorption), metabolize fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), and make vitamin D and some hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.

191
Q

Which of the vitamins MUST be consumed in the diet?

A

Folate

Why?

Vitamins must be consumed through food with only three exceptions: vitamin K and biotin can also be produced by normal intestinal flora (bacteria that live in the intestines and are critical for normal gastrointestinal function), and vitamin D can be self-produced with sun exposure.

192
Q

A client who just found out she is pregnant asks what foods to eat to increase her intake of folic acid. What would be the BEST response?

A

Green leafy vegetables, organ meats, dried peas, beans, and lentils

Why?

These foods are the best sources of folate, or folic acid. Citrus fruits, berries, and vegetables are good sources of vitamin C; green leafy vegetables, fruit, dairy, and grain products are good sources of vitamin K; and milk, liver, eggs, and peanuts are good sources of choline.

193
Q

Which of the following minerals has a recommended dietary allowance (RDA) that is more than twice as high for women than it is for men?

A

Iron

Why?

The RDA for iron for women is 18 mg, while it is only 8 mg for men. Iron plays an essential role in hemoglobin formation, improves blood quality, and increases resistance to stress and disease. ACE Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals, p. 165-166

194
Q

A client with which of the following conditions should receive comprehensive nutrition counseling before beginning an exercise program?

A

Diabetes

Why?

It is especially important for people with diabetes to balance nutrition intake with exercise and insulin or other medications in order to maintain a regular blood sugar level throughout the day. All individuals with diabetes who have not already had a comprehensive nutrition consultation prior to beginning an exercise program should be referred to a registered dietitian for an evaluation and nutrition education.

195
Q

A client who is also a high school soccer player is interested in using the glycemic index to guide him as he “refuels” after practices and matches. Which of the following would be the BEST snack choice?

196
Q

A client just found out that she is hypertensive. Her doctor recommends that she change her eating habits. The fitness professional should suggest that in addition to reducing calories she should increase her red meat, poultry, and fish intake, as well as her vegetable intake to four or more servings per day.

A

FALSE

Why?

Multiple studies have shown that the DASH eating plan combined with decreased salt intake can substantially reduce blood pressure levels. The DASH plan is low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and total fat. The staples are fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. Fish, poultry nuts, and other unsaturated fats as well as whole grains are encouraged. However, red meat, sweets, and sugar–containing beverages should be extremely limited.

197
Q

A client has a weight-loss goal of 40 pounds (18 kg). He is having a difficult time committing to his new eating and exercise habits and is frustrated that he has not seen a reduction in weight. He is interested in learning more about gastric-bypass surgery, so the fitness professional should refer him to physician for a consultation.

A

Why?

Weight-loss surgery is not recommended for the overweight or mildly obese person who is trying to lose 20 or 30 pounds. Although this client might qualify based on the amount of weight he wants to lose, only those who are committed to permanent lifestyle changes—including regular physical activity and a healthy diet—are considered good candidates for surgery.

198
Q

A new client is concerned that her family history of heart disease, combined with her poor diet, is increasing her risk of having a heart attack. The fitness professional should recommend that she get her cholesterol levels tested prior to designing an exercise program for her.

A

TRUE

Why?

Fitness professionals can play an important role in helping people minimize their cardiovascular risk by educating them about risk factors (including family history and poor dietary choices) and encouraging them to talk with their physicians about their own personal risk. It is important to emphasize the importance of keeping close tabs on risk factors, both for older adults who may have already developed one or more risk factors and for younger individuals who appear to be perfectly healthy.

199
Q

At the end of a cycling class, you hand out an article titled “Vitamins and their effects on the body during exercise.” This is outside of the scope of practice of an ACE Certified Fitness Professional.
