Final Exam Flashcards
Using the popcorn graph, explain how overtraining impacts performance.
The popcorn graph showcases the unintended consequences of training. Essentially, everyone needs some level of physical activity in their life, but overtraining can occur, which negates improvements.
Overtraining can also lead to overuse injuries which occur from repetitive movement
How can injury be defined?
Any damage to your body that is either visible or invisible and impacts function. It is often something being torn, broken or pulled.
What is an Automated External Defibrillator?
Diagnoses life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias automatically and treats them through defibrillation or electric therapy.
Name 3 ways in which an active workstation can be implemented.
- Standing desk
- Treadmill desk
- Cycling desk
Name 3 risks of injury
- Equipment maintenance
- Sport (intentional and unintentional)
- City Cycling
What is the difference between obesity and overweight?
Both are the excess of adipose tissue outside of the healthy range. Overweight is little over while obese a lot over.
What is BMI?
A ratio of weight to height that estimates cardiometabolic health risk
What are the components of Body composition?
- Fat Mass
- Fat-Free mass (Lean tissue + bone)
What are the two types of fat distribution?
- Android
- Gynoid
What are 3 ways to assess body compositions impact on health
- BMI
- Waist-to-hip ratio
- Waist circumference
What are the 6 categories of BMI?
- Underweight: <18.5
- Normal: 18.5 - 24.9
- Overweight: 25 - 29.9
- Obese (Class I): 30 - 34.9

What are the components of your total daily energy expenditure
- Basal Metabolic rate: calories burned by basic bodily functions

What are the 4 components of Resting Energy Expenditure Equation

- Age
Why do population specific equations exist?
conventional equations don’t account for changes in physiology. If a person follows an incorrect recommendation, it will lead to ineffective results (consume more or less than is necessary)
Why isn’t body composition included in the Resting Energy Expenditure Equation?
Calculating weight is inexpensive and more accessible
When is the best time to exercise when trying to lose weight?
A high intensity workout right before a meal leads to less calories and fat consumed
What are the stages of a behaviour change?
- Pre-contemplation: Unaware of problem

- Maintenance: sustain behaviour change
