CH 6 *STUDY* Fitness Assessment Flashcards
PAR-Q (Physical activity readiness questionnaire)
Questionnaire designed to help qualify a person to participate in exercise, and determine if referral to a physician is needed
Durnin-Womersley Body Fat Test (calipers)
used to measure in 4 sites:
Bicep/tricep/Supra iliac (iliac crest)/ Subscapularis
Karvonen Formula (220 - minus age) = heart rate max
equation for predicting max heart rate
Zone 1 = 220-age x .65 - .75 % percentage range for HRmax
Davies Test
15 seconds - measures upper extremity/body agility and neuromuscular control
Push up position with hands 36-in apart
Shark Skill test
- lower body agility test
- measures lower extremity agility and neuromuscular control
- # of trials = 1 practice, 2 timed for each foot (4 graded trials total)
- Faults penalized = non-hopping leg touches ground; hands come off hips; foot goes into wrong square; foot does not return to center square
What percentage of Americans do not engage in at least 30 minutes of low-to-moderate activity every day?
75%
Something specifically detrimental to an individual due to a special need or chronic condition
Something specifically detrimental to an individual due to a special need or chronic condition
At risk Waist-to-hip ratios
Greater than .80 for females
greater than .95 for males is a risk factor
What position is contraindicated for individuals with high blood pressure?
Supine
What is the procedure for taking a client’s radial pulse?
Touch should be gentle, take when the client is calm, two fingers along the right ride of the arm just above the thumb, take for 60 seconds, average over three days while taking the pulse at the same time each day
Pulse taken on the neck to the side of the larynx?
Carotid Pulse
What determines a client’s baseline levels from which to compare progress to at later dates?
Objective Assessments
Average Heart Rate for Male and Female?
70 bmp / male
75 bmp / female
Systolic (top number of blood pressure reading)
Diastolic (bottom number of blood pressure reading)
Systolic: The pressure within the arterial system after the heart contracts
Diastolic: The pressure within the arterial system when the heart is resting and filling with blood
What is an acceptable systolic blood pressure?
What is an acceptable diastolic blood pressure?
less than 120 mm hg for systolic

What is the percentage range of HRmax for training zone 2?
76-85%
What is the percentage range of HRmax for training zone 3?
86-95%
What is the observable movement compensation when the hip flexor complex and erector spinae are overactive?
Low back arches
What is the observable movement compensation when the upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, and levator scapulae are overactive?
Shoulder elevation, head protrudes forward
Assessments that measure upper extremity neuromuscular efficiency….
pushing and pulling assessment
What develops when the structural integrity of the body has been compromised as a result of a disruption in one or more of the components of the kinetic chain?
postural distortion patterns
Which muscles could possibly be tight or overactive if a client demonstrates feet turning out during the overhead squat assessment?
Soleus (lower calf), lateral gastrocnemius (left side calf), biceps femoris (hamstring)
Which muscles are overactive if the client’s knees move inward?
Adductor complex (inside thigh), biceps femoris (hamstring), TFL (hip muscle) vastus lateralis (quad/thigh)

Hip flexor complex and erector spinae
Which muscles are underactive if a client’s feet turn out during an overhead squat assessment?
Medial gastrocnemius (calf), medial hamstring, gracilis (muscle on medial side of thigh), sartorius (longest muscle in human body in the THIGH), popliteus (posterior knee joint)
