exercise physiology Flashcards
What is screening? [4]
detects problems before symptoms appear
e.g. ECH and CRY
can be used to identify heart /musculoskeletal conditions
used to select specific training measures
Give an example of protective equipment. [1]
shin pads
mouth guard
State the physiological changes that occur during a warm up. [4]
increase in HR/BR
increase in temperature
more oxygen and nutrients to working muscles
increases elasticity of muscles
Identify the 4 types of stretching [4]
ballistic
static
passive
active
What is the purpose of taping and bracing? [1]
support and stability for weakened muscles/soft tissue
What is proprioceptive training? [3]
subconscious process where proprioception is retrained
involves jumping skipping balance board
allows for smooth and controlled movements
What 5 rehabilitation methods are there? [5]
proprioceptive training strength training hyperbaric chambers cryotherapy hydrotherapy
What are the 4 aspects of strength training? [4]
machine
free weights
body weight
therabands
Which aspect of training method is often used first and why? [3]
machine weights
has control
which body does not have to stabilise
gradually increase
What is the purpose of strength training? [1]
increase strength lost
help with balance and posture
What is a hyperbaric chamber? [3]
chamber
high pressure of pure oxygen
used in injury rehabilitation
What hydrotherapy? [3]
injury rehabilitation method
athlete placed in warm water
while doing exercises
HOw does cryotherapy enhance rehabilitation? [4]
reduces pain reduces inflammation blood flows to core returns fully oxygenated repairs damaged cells
How does hydrotherapy enhance injury rehabilitation? [4]
increases circulation relieves pain relaxes muscles water supports body weight allows strengthening of muscles
What are the physiological effects of hyperbaric chambers? [4]
higher oxygen in plasma more oxygen to muscles reduces swelling increases white blood cell production more blood supply to injures area
