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
