Chapter 2: The ACE Integrated Fitness Training Model Flashcards
Activities of Daily Living
These are activities that are normally done for hygiene, bathing, household chores, walking, shopping, and similar activities.
Balance
This is the ability to maintain the body’s position in a stable way.
Speed
The rate of movement.
Power
The max amount of force in a minimal amount of time that a muscle is capable of.
Self-efficacy
One’s perception of his or her ability to change or to perform specific behaviors.
Adherence
The extent to which people follow their plans or treatment recomendations.
Chronic Disease
This is a disease that persists over an extended period of time.
Hyperlipidemia
An excess amount of lipids in the blood that may be primary or secondary.
Osteoporosis
The degeneration of the bones in an individual and it is known as the bones becoming porous.
Muscular Fitness
Having an appropriate level of both strength and endurance.
Muscular Strength
The max force a muscle or muscle group can exert in. contraction.
Muscular Endurance
The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert force against a resistance over time.
Stability
Characteristics of the body’s joints or posture that represents resistance to changing position.
Previously Physically Inactive
This describes someone who as not previously meeting the recommendations for regular physical activity.
Empathy
Understanding what another person is experiencing from his or her perspective.
SMART Goal
A properly designed goal; SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound,
Mobility
The degree to which a joint can move before being restricted by surrounding tissues.
Relapse
ln behavior change, the return of an original problem after many lapses (slips, mistakes) have occurred.
Extrinsic Motivation
Motivation coming from external rewards like material and social networks.
Intrinsic Motivation
Motivation coming from internal states.
Overtraining Syndrome
Overtraining syndrome The result of constant intense training that does not provide adequate time for recovery; symptoms include increased resting heart rate, impaired physical performance, reduced enthusiasm and desire for training, increased incidence of injuries and illness, altered appetite, disturbed sleep patterns, and irritability.
Talk Test
A method for measuring exercise intensity using observation of respiration effort and the ability to talk while exercising.
Ventilatory Threshold 1
Point of transition between predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production; involves recruitment of fast-twitch muscle fibers and identified via gas exchange during exercise testing.
Ratings of Perceived Exertion
A scale, originally developed by noted Swedish psychologist Gunnar Borg, that provides a standard means for evaluating a participant’s perception of exercise effort. The original scale ranged from 6 to 20; a revised category ratio scale ranges from 0 to 10.
Second Ventilatory Threshold
A metabolic marker that represents the point above which high-intensity exercise can only be sustained for a brief interval due to an accumulation of lactate.
Kinetic Chain
The concept of joints and segments having an effect on one another during movement.
Static Balance
The ability to maintain balance when in one position and not moving.
Dynamic Balance
This is the act of keeping postural control while moving.
Center of Gravity
This is the point around which all weight is evenly distributed.
Range of Motion
The number of degrees that an articulation will allow one of its segments to move.
High Intensity Interval Training
This is an exercise strategy of alternating periods of short and intense aerobic exercise with less intense times of recovery.
Plyometrics
High-intensity movements, such as jumping, involving high-force loading of body weight during the landing phase of the movement that take advantage of the stretch-shortening cycle.
Hypertrophy
An increase in the size of muscles.
Agility
The ability to move quickly and easily.
Quickness
The quality of moving fast.
Coordination
This is the ability to use different body parts together efficiently.
Heart Rate
The number of heart beats within a minute.
Body-fat Percentage
The percent of the body that is fat.
Fat-free Mass
The part of the body composition that represents everything but the fat in the body.
VO2 Max
Considered the best indicator of cardiovascular endurance, it is the maximal amount of oxygen (mL) that a person can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight. Also called maximal oxygen uptake and maximal aerobic power.
Systolic Blood Pressure
The pressure in the arteries during the contraction phase of the cardiac cycle.
Diastolic Blood Pressure
This is the pressure in the arteries during relaxation phases of the cardiac cycle.
