Q

What does the force platforms do and measure?

A

Sends voltage signals proportional (the same) to the force exerted on the platform’s surface in ALL DIRECTIONS (horizontal, vertical, lateral). It measures the force exerted in any direction.

21
Q

What does pressure-sensitive insoles measure?

A

Provides continuous measurement of pressure and force during walking or running

22
Q

What does isokinetic dynamometer measure?

A

Measure force during isometric and isokinetic movements of muscles

23
What is a muscle biopsy equipment?
Equipment that collects a tissue sample from a muscle
24
What does Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry measure? (Dexa scan)
It uses X- rays to measure bone, fat, and fat-free mass in a spot in the body. (measure bone density %, lean body fat %, Body fat %)
25
What is measuring energy intake as an energy balance assessment?
Consume more calories than we expend we gain weight. Report what they ate and the amount for each meal. MORE COMPLICATED.
26
Measuring energy expenditure as an energy balance assessment?
Expend more calories than we consume we lose weight
27
What is whole room indirect calorimeter as an energy balance assessment?
Room you get in and it is at a constant temperature and how much heat you give off means how much calorie expenditure you're doing.
28
What is doubly labeled water as an energy balance assessment?
Water that has radioactive oxygen and hydrogen in it. The person drinks it and measure the known amount of radioactivity in the body to measure calorie expenditure.
29
What are accelerometers and pedometers as an energy balance assessment?
What people wear to record activity and measure what activity you are doing and how much calorie expenditure you are doing during that specific exercise.
30
Which of these assessments are to measure your musculoskeletal function, cardiovascular & Pulmonary function and body composition? EKG ELECTROMYOGRAPHY DENSITOMETRY HEART MONITOR AT HOSPITALS FORCE PLATFORMS PRESSURE-SENSITIVE INSOLES ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH PULSE OXIMETER BLOOD PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DUAL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY PLATYSMA GRAPH VO2 MAX MUSCLE BIOPSY BIKE AND UPPER BODY CARDIO MACHINES ISOKINETIC DYNAMOMETER TREADMILLS BIOELECTRIC IMPEDANCE

31
How does densitometry measure body composition?
Uses the bod pod (measures the volume and stuff in the bod pod) to measure body density
32
What assessments energy balance?
1. Accelerometers and pedometers 2. Doubly labeled water 3. whole room indirect calorimeter
33
How does bioelectric impedance measure body composition?
Measures the speed of low voltage electrical current through the body (upper body if you are holding it and lower body if you are stepping on one)
34
How do skinfold assessments measure body composition?
Measures subcutaneous fat at different places in the body
35
How do anthropometric measurements measure body composition?
Measures the size and proportion of the human body and its various segments
36
What are quantitative assessments?
Provides information on psychological state (acute and chronic physical activity, and exercise and practice or game situations). GIVES YOU DATA
37
Why might bioimpedance not work properly?
calyces on the feet, oily hands, too much water in the body, stuff like that
38
What might you measure when you do blood collection and analysis stuff?
Blood lipids, glucose, and lactic acid
39
What are qualitative assessments?
Provides personal significance to the individual (sees personal goals like weight loss). What the person thinks on it as well
40
What is thermotherapy?
It heats up and cools down your muscles to help stretching
41
What are whirlpool tubs?
get heat and passive movements in the pool the circulates the water around you
42
What are therapeutic ultrasound?
Uses low power ultrasound waves to treat soft tissue injury. AND WARMS TISSUE. PLACEBO EFFECT MOSTLY
43
What are transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation?
helps reduce contractions of the muscle
44
How do the motion capture system works?
You put reflective dots on the body and a camera takes pictures of the movements super rapidly
45
What procedures and guidelines should be followed during an assessment?
1. Assessments and evaluations should be valid and reliable 2. Provide clear instructions 3. give a sufficient warm up/ practice 4. select the order of the assessment and evaluation items 5. give sufficient recovery time 6. Control the environmental conditions
46
Are guidelines important only for research, or are they necessary in the clinic and training room also?
THEY ARE IMPORTANT ALL THE TIME
47
What measurements are common in cardiovascular and pulmonary assessment?
blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry), electrocardiogram (ECG), VOLUME OF AIR INHALED AND EXHALED, AMOUNT OF OXYGEN CONSUMED, AMOUNT OF CO2 PRODUCED
48
What is graded exercise testing?
going to have different levels of work during the test example starting at slow with no incline, then gradually increasing the speed and incline.
49
How will assessment be different if it is done in a clinical vs. a training scenario?
Clinical: Focuses more on health and treatment trying to get them healthy again Training Scenario: Focuses more on how they can improve an individual's skills and get them better at their sport
50
What are some differences in resistance equipment used for rehabilitation or for strength training?
Rehab: used for more controlled safe stable movements, not used for super intense workouts, they are more adjustable Strength: used for super intense workouts to build muscle, used for heavier stuff
51
Name some resistance equipment used for rehab and strength training
Rehab: they use elastic bands, medicine balls, stability devices, weight vests, parachutes Strength: dumbbells, barbells with weights, exercise machines at the gym
