Exam 3 Flashcards
what is psychobiology?
physical activity and exercise affects the brain
what is the SAID principle
specific adaption to imposed demands
what is the primary function of cortisol?
help the body manage stress by regulating its response to stressful situations
what is the primary function of dopamine?
give you feelings of pleasure, satisfaction and motivation
what is the primary function of epinephrine?
to prepare the body for a “fight or flight” response by rapidly increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels when faced with a stressful situation
what is epinephrine?
adrenaline
what does epinephrine increase?
heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels
What is the primary function of norepinephrine?
maintain arousal and focus
How does dopamine play into stress management?
influences our motivation to cope with stressful situations
what is dopamine sometimes called?
feel good hormone
True or false. Exercise has a direct impact on almost every physiological function.
true
what is micro sleep?
when you fall asleep for a period of several seconds
why is micro sleep dangerous?
dangerous for drivers because of the short time it takes to make a serious mistake at the wheel
what role does exercise play on micro sleep?
plays a significant role in preventing microsleep by promoting better overall sleep quality
what is neuroplasticity?
the brain’s ability to change and adapt throughout life by reorganizing its neural networks
describe exercises impact on Neuroplasticity
promotes the brain’s ability to adapt and form new neural connections, leading to improvements in learning, memory, and cognitive function by stimulating the growth of new brain cells, increasing blood flow to the brain, and releasing neurochemicals like BDNF
In what ways are athletes problem solvers
constantly need to adapt their movements and strategies in real-time based on changing game situations, requiring their brains to quickly analyze information, assess options, and make split-second decisions
True or false. Pain tolerance, immune system, social interaction, and mental resilience are all by products
of increased physical activity.
true
why type of joint is the hip?
ball and socket and synovial
True or false. The 2 innominate bones (which include ilium, ischium & pubis), the sacrum, and coccyx
comprise the pelvis
true
what bones comprise the pelvis?
ileum
ischium
pubis
sacrum
coccyx
what 2 laws adhere to said principle
wolff and davis
what does Wolff deal w
bones adapting to load
what does Davis law deal w
muscles adapting to load
cortisol is highest when?
morning and night
what does cortisol do to blood pressure
increase
in a team environment, what does dopamine do?
enhances motivation bonding and performance
does exercise help mitigate micro sleep?
yes
paloff press
works by resisting external forces
isos, one handed, balance, increase resistance, one leg
Thomas test
hip flexor flexibility test
what do u do if someone fails Thomas test
exercises to increase range of motion
like butterfly,
lachman test
ACL integrity
when should Lachman test be performed?
right after injruy
what is scope?
specific expertise, protect the athlete and professional
w scope, who should be performing Lachman test?
only somebody who is certified or has that in their scope
never strength coach or coach
who gets more concussions?
females bc of muscles in neck
more susceptible to whiplash
why more common in wrestlers shoulder subluxations
put in more compromising position
extreme abduction and adduction
what is multidirectional instability
any direction your shoulder can go out of place
what bones make up the pelvis
ileum, ischium, pubis
sacrum coccyx
what are the motions of the pelvis
flexion, extension, circumduction, abudction, adduction, rotation (external, and internal/medial)
what are the four quadriceps muscles
rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius
what is the longest muscle in the body?
sartorius
3 high motor unit recruitment exercises?
sprinting, snatch, clean and jerk,
should high Motor unit be done at beginning or end of workout?
beginning bc when body is most fresh and more available motor units
why is recovery in a session important?
maintains performance and reduces injury
when it comes to load, what are some of the inputs?
reps, sets, time, frequency
sport specific exercises for soccer?
lunges, deadlifts
sport specific importance
TRANSFER
what is core exercise
work major muscle groups
what is assistance exercise?
specific muscle
this muscle is important when performing flexion, abduction, lateral rotation, and knee flexion
sartorIus
is the sartorius a prime mover?
no
what is a prime mover known as
agonist
what does a prime mover do?
muscle that contracts
why is determining a 1rm important?
helps asses strength and track progress
what are the ramifications of determining a 1rm?
risk of injury, training intensity, fatigue
what is training load broken into?
repetitions
sets
intensity
frequency
duration
training frequency for beginners
2-3
training frequency for intermediate
3-4
training frequency for advanced
4-7
example of exercises to promote recovery
foam rolling, stretching, body weight lifting
intensity for exercises to promote recovery?
low intensity aids recovery and reduces fatigue
why are post workout exercises for recovery important?
mproves circulation, removes metabolic waste, reduces soreness.
what’s the rationale behind workout order?
larger muscles to smaller
core exercise example?
squats
assistance exercise example?
bicep curl
True or false. With any needs analysis is strength coach/kinesiologist/movement specialist should take into
consideration common sites for injury and physical testing/evaluation.
true
what does needs analysis do
identifies goals, weaknesses, and requirements.
two stages of needs analysis?
evaluation of sport
assessment of athlete
why is the hip joint not prone to dislocation?
