Aquatic

Question 1

Archimedes principle

Answer 1

Lessened force of gravity, increased venous return, = larger stroke volume, DECREASED HR in water

Question 2

Hydrostatic pressure

Answer 2

Increases with depth of water, causing compression and increasing blood return to the heart and other organs DECREASING HR

Question 3

Partial Pressure of Oxygen in water

Answer 3

Enhanced while immersed. SAME ventilation produces greater O2 saturation..

Question 4

Dive reflex

Answer 4

Reduced HR & BP with facial submersion (body only too sometimes, ice cold water)

Question 5

What is thermoneutral?

Answer 5

93-95 degrees F. Above this dec ability of body to dissipate heat.

Question 6

Convection

Answer 6

requires movement of water across skin or movement of body through water to occur

Question 7

Conduction

Answer 7

Occurs due to physical contact between water and the body

Question 8

Radiation/Evaporation

Answer 8

Exchange of thermal energy between the body and the air.

Question 16

Fast Walking immersion to midtrunk

Answer 16

75% of normal

Question 17

Answer 17

less than 50% of normal

Question 18

Fast Walking immersion deeper than C7

Answer 18

less than 25% of normal

Question 19

WB walking vs standing

Answer 19

WB walking is much higher than standing static at same level.

Question 20

Pain

Answer 20

Can decrease pain, and increase ROM (pain esp in pts with RA)

Question 21

Hydrostatic pressure

Answer 21

Increases with depth of water, causing compression and increasing blood return to the heart and other organs DECREASING HR

Question 22

Proprioception

Answer 22

somatosensory input increases more by moving an object through a viscous liquid, may contribute to better proprioception

Question 23

Halliwick

Answer 23

James McMillan = founder, ppl to maintain balance control in the water/teach to swim. 1:1 ratio. (cannon ball/windmill from squat)

Question 24

4 phases of Halliwick

Answer 24

Mental adaptation to being in water
Restore balance from all positions in water
Inhibit unwanted movement and remain stable in water
Swim from stabilized position
