Q

What are the stages and definitions of the Trans Theoretical Model?

A
  1. Pre-contemplation: don’t know, don’t care
  2. Contemplation: recognize a behavior change would be beneficial, but don’t commit
  3. Preparation: Prepare to make a change before committing
  4. Action: A plan is established and implemented. Most difficult stage, often leads to regression to previous stages
  5. Maintenance: behavior is maintained for about 5 years but requires assessment of the program
  6. Termination: behavior has consistently maintained for 5 years and is now incorporated into your life.

Q

What is the link between muscle mass and metabolism?

A

Muscle is metabolically active, and so each additional pound of muscle tissue increases resting metabolism by 35 calories per day.

16
Q

Define muscular endurance

A

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated submaximal contractions or to maintain an isometric contraction

17
Q

What muscles are included in the “core”?

A
  1. Abdominal muscles
  2. Hip Muscles
  3. Spinal muscles
18
Q

Define isometric training

A

Strength-training method in which muscle contraction produces little or no movement because the person pushes or pulls against an immovable object

19
Q

Concentric and Eccentric movement involve doing what with the muscles?

A

Concentric - shortening during contraction

Eccentric - lengthening during contraction

20
Q

Define circuit training

A

A technique involving a series of weight-training stations. The weight trainer performs an exercise and rapidly moves to the next station with little or no rest.

21
Q

List the strength training guidelines

A
  1. Select exercises that will involve all major muscle groups
  2. Select exercises that will strengthen the core
  3. Never lift weights alone
  4. Warm up properly prior to lifting weights
  5. Use proper lifting technique for each exercise
  6. Maintain proper body balance while lifting
  7. Exercise larger muscle groups before exercising smaller muscle groups
  8. Exercise opposing muscle groups for a balanced workout
  9. Breathe naturally; inhale during the eccentric phase and exhale during the concentric phase
  10. Avoid holding your breath while straining to lift a weight
  11. Allow adequate recovery time between sets of exercises
  12. Discontinue training if you experience unusual discomfort or pain
  13. Use common sense on days when you feel fatigued or when performing sets to complete fatigue
  14. Stretch (static) for a few minutes at the end of each strength-training session
22
Q

How is strength training different in women?

A
  1. Does not cause muscle hypertrophy as in men

2. Changes in body composition can lead to reduction in inches but not body weight

23
Q

Define plyometric exercise

A

Explosive training incorporating speed and strength training to enhance explosiveness

24
Q

Define the overload principle

A

demands placed on a system (cardiorespiratory or muscular) must be increased systematically over time to cause physiological development

25
Q

Define static stretching

A

Holding a stretched position

26
Q

Define dynamic stretching

A

Moving slowly and rhythmically through a full range of motion

27
Q

Define ballistic stretching

A

Moving through a range of motion with bobbing (not recommended)

28
Q

Define hypermobility

A

Excessive range of motion

29
Q

What type of stretching should be done pre workout?

A

Dynamic stretching

30
Q

What type of stretching should be done post workout?

A

Static stretching

31
Q

What types of stretching are not recommended?

A

Ballistic

32
Q

What are the benefits of flexibility?

A
  1. Promotes healthy muscles and joints
  2. Improves elasticity of muscles and connective tissue around joints, enhancing freedom of movement

  10. Age
  11. Gender
34
