Basis of exercise training

Question 1

Health

Answer 1

A complete state of mental, social, and physical well-being and not merely the absence of disease

Question 2

Wellness

Answer 2

Having the components of health balanced and at sufficient levels

Question 3

Physical activity

Answer 3

any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure above resting energy expenditure

Question 4

Leisure time

Answer 4

• an activity undertaken in individuals discretionary time
• involves personal choice
• wide varieties of motivators

Question 5

exercise

Answer 5

planned, structured and repetitive and that has a final or intermediate objective or maintenance of physical fitness

Question 6

sport

Answer 6

Involves competition (with rules and regulatory body), planned, structured, skilled, competitive

Question 7

conditioning

Answer 7

the state of something with regard to its appearance, quality or working order

Question 8

What is an adaptation?

Answer 8

Your body’s physiological response to training.
What changes

Question 9

Explain a single disruption

Answer 9

There is a stimulus that causes a response
- a single stimulus disrupts homeostasis
- physiological processes occur to restore homeostasis

Question 10

Explain a multiple disruption

Answer 10

There is a stimulus presented which causes a response which then causes an adaptation within the body
- stimuli disrupting homeostasis presented repeatedly
- physiological processes occur to change the condition of the organism/cell

Question 11

What are the aspects of the FITT principle

Answer 11

F- Frequency
I- Intensity (difficulty)
T- Type
T- Time (volume or amount)

Question 12

What is physical training?

Answer 12

Planned regimen of appropriate types of exercise, with sufficient volume, intensity and frequency to elicit change in an organism’s condition

Answer 13

• Health and wellness
• Body composition/aesthetics
• Performance

Question 14

What does training for health and wellness mean?

Answer 14

Training to improve physical fitness to improve health and wellness

Question 15

What does training for body composition/aesthetics mean?

Answer 15

Training to modify physical appearance

Question 16

What does training for performance mean?

Answer 16

Training to improve physical fitness to improve physical performance

Question 17

What is performance

Answer 17

The action or performing a task or function

Question 18

What are Kinematics? How do you explain them?

Answer 18

• the motion of human body in space

• How is the joint moving? E.g. flexing, extending, etc.

Question 19

What are Kinetics? How do you explain them?

Answer 19

• explains how a body responds when a force or torque is applied to it
• what has the load?
