exam 2 Flashcards
physiological benefits of a warm up
6 of them
- increase blood flow to active muscles
- increase HR
- increase body and deep muscle temp
- help fibers in muscle stretch
- faster muscle contraction and relaxation
- increase muscle strength and power output
neurological benefits of a warm up
- more coordinated movements
- increase rxn time
- increase efficiency of exchange of O2 from hemoglobin to myoglobin
general warm up vs specific warm up
G: low intensity and not related to activity
S: skill rehearsal/sport related activity
negative effects of static stretching
5 of them
- force production
- power output
- running speed
- rxn time
- muscle endurance
limitations of static stretching
6 of them
- does not prepare body for injury prevention
- tends to be non weight bearing
- uniplanar
- only isolates one jnt
- muscle is relaxed
- slowing metabolism
factors effecting flexibility
6 of them
- jnt structure
- age
- gender
- resistance train w/ limit ROM
- muscle bulk
- activity level
stretching protocol for static stretching
- hold for 15-30 sec
- 3-5 stretches per major body part
- increase stretch w/ each set
key points for static stretching
5 of them
- do post workout
- separate activity
- stretch to discomfort not pain
- avoid holding breath
- dont bounce
benefits of functional/dynamic stretching
6 of thm
- gain flexibility w/ movement
- weight bearing
- multiplanar
- involved muscle contraction
- great pre cursor to dynamic warm up
- metabolic
3 types of PNF stretching
- contract relax
- hold relax
- hold relax w/ agonist contraction
what should you look at when assessing if a child is ready to resistance train
4 of them
- body type
- coordination
- ask about experience w/ PA
- any experience w/ wts/resistance training
what are some concerns w/ resistance training during a childs growth spurt
4 of them
- muscle imbalance
- tightening of tendons=decrease flexibility
- growing pains
- should decrease resistacne
key points in program design for adolescence
7 of them
- address all five fitness goals
- safe progression
- constantly monitor technique and form
- multi jnt lifts
- dynamic warm up
- stretching post activity
- hydration and nutrition
what are some differences btwn males and females body types
3 of them
females:
- 2/3 strength
- power output only 63% of males
- weak knees/upperbody
3 disease to look out for in older adults
- osteopenia: lower bone density compared to normal
- ostoeoporosis: losing bone dnesity
- sarcopenia: losing muscles mass as you age
key points in program design for older adults
9 of them
- nutritional analysis
- individualize program
- monitor technique
- minimize soreness
- focus on major muscle groups
- do functional day to day movments
- body weight/standing exercises
- if new to RT do 1 set of 8-12 reps
- only do power lifting when mastered strength exercises
why do we test athletes?
- determine progression
- model working wt off max wt
- determine areas of improvement
- coach can review abilities
- know current fitness level
3 categories of tests
- pretest: prior to new program
- mid test: during training period
- post test: after training period
two diff types of validity
- face: degree to which test measure what it is suppose to measure
- content: test is covering all components of a given sport
things that should be watched to maintain relaiabiltiy
6 of them
- temp/humidity
- surface conditions
- uniform equipment
- consistent bench/seat heights
- perform standardized warm ups
- same tester
things to consider when selecting a test
- metabolic energy system
- pattern specificity
- experience and training status
- age/gender
- env’t
examples of env;t consideration when testing
- hot/cold
- humidity
- wind speed
- pollen
- ground rxn force
order of tests when doing multiple tests in one session
7 of them
- non fatiguing measurements (flexibilitiy/vert jump test)
- agility
- max power/strength
- sprinting
- muscular endurace
- fatiguing anerobic capacity
- aerobic test
