ch.1 test Flashcards
Science
- the study of knowledge based on observation and experimentation.
The Scientific Method:
- Identify the problem
- Establish a hypothesis
- Collecting information
- Interpreting information
Medicine
the art and science of healing.
Kinesiology
the study of human movement. Involving small muscle movements, and large muscle movement (physical activity).
7 Sciences of Kinesiology:
- Exercise physiology
- Exercise anatomy
- Biomechanics
- Exercise psychology
- Exercise sociology
- Motor learning
- Sport pedagogy
Exercise Physiology
Physiology is a branch of biology focused on the study of body systems. It explores how physical activity affects body systems.
Exercise physiologist study the cardiovascular, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, and other body systems to see how they are affected by exercise.
Exercise Anatomy
Human anatomy is a branch of biology focused on studying the structure of the human organism.
Focus on the tissues that make up the body (muscle, bone, tendon, ligament, skin, organ)
Biomechanics
Seeks to understand the human machine in motion through the principle of physics.
Exercise Psychology
Focuses on the human behavior in all types of physical activity, including sport and exercise for fitness.
what is sport and exercise psyhcology
the study of human though, emotion, and behavior in physical activity
what are the A,B,C’s of physical activity
A - affect: emotions
B - behavior: actions
C - cognitions: thoughts
Exercise Sociology
Study of society and social relationships. It focuses on social relationships and interactions in physical activity , including sports.
Motor Learning
Motor Skill - The learned ability to use the muscles and nerves together to perform a physical task
Motor Skill
The learned ability to use the muscles and nerves together to perform a physical task
Physical Education & Sport Pedagogy
Sport pedagogy is the study of teaching and learning in many different physical activity settings, including school PE, on sports teams and in fitness clubs.
They apply learning principles to help students meet important educational objectives such as:
Applying motor learning principles to help students improve their skills, applying management principles to increase physical activity during class, and using motivational principles to encourage full participation and optimal learning.
what is pedagogy
the art and science of teaching.
what are the three parts of a workout
- warm-up
- work out
- cool-down
the warm up does what
the warm-up prepares you physiologically for exercise ( heats body ad raises heart rate).
the workout is what
the part of where you work on a part component of your fitness
the cool-down does what
repairs the body recover from the workout
Warm up:
- You don’t need to warm up for light activity (walking or a slow jog)
- 5 to 10 minute warm up is recommended involving low to moderate intensity physical activity prior to a vigorous workout or competition
- Warm up including dynamic exercises before a workout or competition that requires strength, speed and power.
Cool down:
- 5 to 10 minute cool down after a vigorous workout (do a slow jog or walk). It prevents dizziness and fainting
- Do not lie down immediately after vigorous activity
- Gradually reduce the intensity of activity during the cool down
- Walk or do other moderate total body movements
Stretching after your general cool down, while your muscles are still warm
what are the tree types of warm-ups
- General
- Dynamic
- Stretching
What does a general warm-up entail
Walking, jogging, calisthenics
What does a dynamic warm-up entail
Skipping, jumping, calisthenics
What does a stretching warm-up entail
to do a stretching warm-up you have to have done a dynamic warm-up and you must hold the stretches for 15 to 30 seconds
what is nutrition science
the study of how plants and animals utilize food to grow and sustain life
what is food science
the study of the chemical makeup of food
what is fitness
fitness is the ability of your body systems to work together efficiently to allow you to be healthy and preform activities of daily living
what is health
Health is the freedom from disease and debilitating conditions as well as optimal wellness in all five components: physical, emotional-mental, social, intellectual, and spiritual
what is wellness
the positive component of health that includes having a good quality of life and a sense of well-being exhibited by a positive outlook on life
what are the components of health and wellness
- intellectual
- social
- physical
- emotional-mental
-spiritual
what is physical fitness
Refers to the ability of your body system to work together efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living.
what is a Hypokinetic condition
A health problem caused partly by lack of physical activity (heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, colon cancer or high body fat level).
what are the parts of health related fitness
- Body composition
- Cardiorespiratory endurance
- Flexibility
- Muscular endurance
- Power (strength x speed)
- Strength
Different types of tissues that make up the body.
- Fat
- Muscle
- Bone
- Organ
what is the ectomorph body type like
thin, narrow, delicate, fragile, linear, and poorly muscled.
what is the mesomorph body type like
broad-shouldered, narrow in the waist and hips, muscular, compact, and athletic
what is the endomorph body type like
soft, round, pudgy, and overweight.
what is cardiorespiratory endurance
The ability to exercise your entire body for a long time without stopping.
what does cardiorespiratory endurance require
- Strong heart
- Healthy lungs
- Clear blood vessels to supply oxygen to your large muscles.
what is flexibility
The ability to use your joints fully through a wide range of motion without injury.
what is muscular strength
The amount of force your muscles can produce.
what is muscular endurance
The ability to use your muscles many times without tiring.
what is power
The ability to use strength quickly; it involves both strength and speed
