Basis for conditioning Flashcards
What is the focus of Advanced Conditioning Methodology?
how advanced conditioning methodology may be used to supplement a human with some kind of health fitness that needs to be improved
What two aspects of movement does KIN 335 explore?
The course explores the kinetics of an exercise, looking into the forces controlling motion, and the kinematics of an exercise, describing the motion
What is the primary way motion is described in this course?
Any description of motion in this course is about joint movement
What are some aspects to consider when reviewing motion at joints for a program?
The program should consider the type of exercise, the number of exercises, and the amount of each exercise to be performed.
How long does it take for adaptations to occur in the human body?
Adaptations in the human body can be seen after 4 to 6 weeks
What must happen to a stimulus to continue to see adaptations?
The stimulus will have to be changed
What does “training age” refer to, in the context of exercise?
the amount of time someone has been regulary involved in training programs and sports that build muscle health, basic movement skills and overall fitness
What should occur as training age goes up?
As training age goes up, intensity matters more therefore intensity should increase
What is considered a performance in the context of physical activity?
Any physical activity is considered a performance
What is the concept of “periodization” in training?
Periodization is about putting things in the right order in a training program
What is the goal of periodization in training?
Periodization ensures that the human is doing the appropriate activities, in the appropriate order
What are the 4 ways the conditioning is achieved?
- PA
- nutrition
- ergogenic aids
- adjunctive modalities (massage, thermal etc.)
What is exercise?
- activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness
- an activity carried out for a specific purpose
- generation of force by the activated muscles
- disruption of a homeostatic state
Exercise is a type of _____ _____.
physical activity
PA is an activity requiring _____ _____.
physical exertion
What is the difference between PA and exercise?
- in PA: purpose may or may not be to sustain or improve health and/or fitness
- in exercise: specific purpose is to sustain or improve health and/or fitness
What are the 5 types of exercise?
- locomotion
- activities of daily living
- occupation
- recreation/sport
- exercise
Homeostasis:
- Le milieu interieur (Claude Bernard)
- regulation of an organism’s or cell’s internal environment
- maintain a condition of equilibrium regardless of changing external conditions
Disruption of homeostasis:
external conditions exceed organism’s/cell’s ability to regulate internal environment
How does a stimulus elicit adaptations?
- must be sufficient to disrupt homeostasis
- type of stimulus
- exercise volume and intensity
FITT principle:
F: frequency
I: intensity (difficulty)
T: type
T: time (volume or amount)
What is (Physical) training?
planned regimen of appropriate types of exercise, with sufficient volume, intensity and frequency to elicit change in an organism’s condition
Training involves ____ and _____ of training.
modes and methods
What is the modes of training:
exercise selection
What is the method of training?
manipulation of volume, intensity and frequency
What are the 3 training objectives?
- Training to improve health and wellness
- To modify body composition/aesthetics
- Training to improve physical fitness and performance
What are the 4 steps to developing a training program?
- assessment and determination of needs and goals
- ID of timeframe
- planning training program (modes and methods) specific to needs and goals
- monitoring training efficacy and modifying training program as necessary
What is Performance & an example?
Performance is the action or process of performing a task or function.
◦ Example: sport performance, occupational performance, activities of daily living (rehabilitation; disease or dysfunction)
