25
What is thermotherapy?
A type of therapy using heat
26
What is a dynamometer?
Meter that measures force
27
Example of measuring isometric strength:
Hand grip
28
What is BMI and what is it used for?
Body Mass Index, used to redflag people
29
DIfference between certification and licensure
Certification: set standard that requires knowledge, testing it through exam Licensure: Specific legal documentation/standard of capabilities as a practitioner
30
Why is Exercise-related science having more opportunities for professional careers?
People are lazy, being sedentary increases risk of disease
31
DIfference between CDC and Department of Health
CDC is outbreaks/immediate health threads HHS deals with basic human services and needs NIH is related to research related to health risk
32
What are Continuing education units?
Renewing credentials to keep up to date with certifications
33
Single most important risk factor associated with all cause mortality?
Cardio-respiratory fitness
34
Modifiable risk factors
Smoking, Exercise, obesity, stress, blood glucose
35
Nonmodifiable risk factors
Age, genetics, race, sex,
36
DIfference between a clinical trial and epidemiological study
Epidemiological study: study of disease rates in correlation with another factor Clinical research trial: experimental research with intervention
37
What is evidence-based medicine?
Follow what the evidence shows to implement an intervention
38
Healthspan vs. lifespan
Healthspan: Quality of life Lifespan: # of years
