Q

What is the purpose of health-related fitness testing?

A
  • Establish person’s cardiovascular and metabolic status
  • Gaining a sense of baselines physiological parameters
  • Identify movement asymmetries that may cause injury
  • Knowing person’s capacity so they are not over-exerted
  • Checking-in along the way
  • Being able to monitor change or improvement (physical, emotional)

Q

1. Pre-exercise Screening

Purpose

Components

A
  • Record baseline measurements, identify health issues, determine risk stratification
  • Identify signs of cardiovascular, respiratory, or metabolic disease
  • Identify pre-existing cardiovascular, respiratory, or metabolic conditions
  • Medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests

Conceptual Fitness Continuum

Purpose

Components

A
  • Health and skill related fitness combined to give a complete picture of “fitness”
  • Combines aspects of basic performance with success to give holistic view of “fitness”
  • Cardiovascular endurance
  • Speed
  • Power
  • Muscular strength
  • Muscular endurance

Q

Health Belief Model

A
  • Your belief in a personal threat together with your belief in the effectiveness of the proposed behaviour will predict the likelihood of that behaviour
  • Examines **perception **of susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers
  • Applied to physical, mental, and social aspects too
  • Fear is a perceived threat (mental)
  • Environmental factors are cues to action (social)
  • Confidence to maintain the behaviour (self-efficacy; physical)

Ex: If I am confident I can achieve a task, if I believe I have the physical skills to be successful, I am more likely to be successful. If I have support from family, friends, and doctors, I am more likely to make a change.

17
Q

Sticking to an Exercise Program

A
  • Provide immediate feedback
  • Schedule a follow-up assessment
  • Establish a social support network
  • Consider a fear appraisal
  • Encourage the participant to set goals
18
Q

SMART Goals

A
  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Attainable
  • Realistic
  • Timed
19
Q

How to Create an Action Plan (6)

A
  • Choose a goal- performance over outcome
  • Establish short term goals
  • Tell others about the goal- relapse prevention
  • Identify potential stumbling blocks
  • Identify ways you will evaluate your progress
  • Reward achievements
