Chapter 1 - The Scientific Rationale for Integrated Training Flashcards
Increased demand for CPT’s
Due to:
- a rise of chronic disease
- Reliance on CPT’s
Chronic Diseases EXS
Asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, overweight, obesity
Chronic Disease
An incurable illness or health condition that persists for a year or more, resulting in functional limitations and the need for ongoing medical care
Human Movement Science
Functional anatomy, functional biomechanics, and motor behavior
Functional Anatomy
The study of anatomy in relation to function
Biomechanics
the study of the mechanical laws relating to movement or structure
Motor Behavior
the study of how motor skills are learned, controlled and developed to assist people as they practice and experience physical activity
Muscle Imbalance
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
Obesity
The condition of being considerably overweight
-Refers to a person with a BMI or 30 or greater or who is at least 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height
Overweight
Refers to a person with a BMI of 25-29.9, or who is between 25-30 pounds over the recommended weight for their gola
BMI
Body Mass Index
-A height to weight ratio used as an indicator of obesity and underweight
Desirable BMI
18.5-24.9
Blood Lipids
AKA cholesterol and triglycerides
-Carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules HDL’s and LDL’s
HDL
High Density Lipoprotein (Good Cholesterol)
LDL
Low Density Lipoprotein (Bad Cholesterol)
Healthy Cholesterol Level
Less than 200 mg/dL
High-Risk Cholesterol Level
Greater than 240 mg/dL
Diabetes Mellitus
Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins
Type 1 Diabetes
Juvenile, result of pancreas not producing enough insulin leading to blood sugar not optimally being delivered to cells leading to hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia
High Blood Sugar
Type 2 Diabetese
Associated with obesity
-Patients typically produce enough insulin but cells are resistance and do not allow insulin to bring adequate amount of glucose into the cell
Glucose
Blood sugar
Lack of Physical Activity
A significant contributor to the risk factors of chronic disease
