What is Obesity
A complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat; classified by a body mass index of 30 or greater.
Kinesiology
Study of movement as it relates to anatomy and physiology.
Evidence Based Practice
A practice that relies on evidence for guidance and decision-making and includes:
1 developing individual expertise,
2 staying current on the best sources of external evidence (e.g., peer-reviewed research),
3 and prioritizing client values and expectations.
What are the three fundamental components of evidence-based practice?
- Developing individual professional expertise,
- Staying current on the best sources of external evidence (e.g., peer-reviewed research)
- Prioritizing client values and expectations
What is the Musculoskeletal system?
The combined, interworking system of all muscles and bones in the body.
What is Deconditioned?
A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability.
Overweight
A body weight greater than what is considered within normal standards; a body mass index of 25.0 to 29.9.
What is Muscle imbalance?
When muscles on each side of a joint have altered length-tension relationships.
What is Joint stability?
The support provided by tissues surrounding a joint to maintain and provide control during movement.
What is Peer-reviewed research?
It is defined as “a process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field.”

Socioeconomic status

The leading causes of death in the world today are classified as
chronic diseases and conditions

leading cause of death in both men and women.
secondary prevention
(i.e., treating chronic health conditions after they become apparent)
primary prevention
(i.e., treating before the conditions develop)
Risk Factor
Any attribute, characteristic, or exposure of an individual that increases the likelihood of developing a disease or injury.
Cholesterol
A waxy, fatlike substance found in bodily cells.
An integrated approach to exercise represents the inclusion of the following forms of training:
Flexibility and mobility
Core strength and stability
Cardiorespiratory (cardio)
Balance
Plyometrics
Speed, agility, and quickness
Resistance
A general definition of disease includes
any abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of a part of the body. Diseases can affect one area of the body or they can be systemic, affecting every part of the body (i.e., various forms of cancer).
