25
True/False: Hypokinesis refers to one's ability to mentally focus during physical activity
False
26
True/False: Holistic Approach encompasses all factors or components affecting the WHOLE person (i.e. mind, body, spirit) and not just one component.
True
27
True/False: The prime mover of an action is called the antagonist
False
28
Muscle strength specifically is:
Likely to develop when training with heavier weights and fewer reps
29
Fitness components to consider when planning a fitness program are:
Aerobic and anaerobic capacity, muscular strength and endurance, and body composition.
30
A benefit of regular participation in physical activity is:
Strengthens your bones and muscles
31
The primary muscle or muscle group responsible for extension of the hip joint is the:
Gluteus Maximus
32
The normal physiological response to an aerobic exercise session is:
An increase in O2 consumption and ventilation
33
Which of the following is a contraindicated exercise? Plough Hurdlers stretch Straight leg sit ups All of the above
All of the above
34
Which of the following is NOT part of the energy systems? ATP-CP Lactic Acid Aerobic EPOC
EPOC - It's not a direct energy system but rather a phenomenon that occurs post-exercise.
35
What happens to Cardiac Output during exercise? -Oxygen supply meets oxygen demand -It stays the same
Oxygen supply meets oxygen demand. During exercise, cardiac output typically increases to meet the increased oxygen demand of the working muscles. This means that the heart pumps more blood per minute to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and remove metabolic waste products. Therefore, the correct option would be: Oxygen supply meets oxygen demand.
36
A decrease in the angle between two bones is called?
Flexion. Flexion refers to the movement that decreases the angle between two body parts. For example, when you bend your elbow, you're flexing it, decreasing the angle between your forearm and upper arm.
37
which muscles are part of the rotator cuff?
S.I.T.S: -Supraspinatus -Infraspinatus -Teres minor -Subscapularus
38
Flexors of the knee
hamstring and gastrocnemius
39
Maximum heart rate method
220-age * training percentage
40
Karvonen Heart Rate Reserve Method
220-age-resting HR * percentage + resting HR
41
Hip Flexors are also known as
Iliopsoas
42
what to stretch for anterior pelvic tilt
quadriceps and iliopsoas
43
Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursa or the synovial membrane
44
Tendonitis

45
Sprain
stretched or torn ligaments or tendons
46
Scoliosis
abnormal lateral curvature of the spine
47
Lordosis
Excessive lumbar curve (swayback)
48
ACL
anterior cruciate ligament - restrains excessive forward movement of the lower leg bone (tibia) in relation to the thigh (femur)
49
PCL
posterior cruciate ligament -prevents posterior translation of the tibia on the femur
50
MCL
medial collateral ligament: stabalizes the knee in lateral movements
51
LCL
lateral collateral ligament: stabilizes the knee in lateral movements
52
Superficial
body part that is closer to the surface
53
Lateral Flexion
movement of the trunk (waist or neck) to the side
54
synergist
a muscle that assists the primer mover in contracting or stabilizing
55
sarcomere sliding filament theory
the process of sarcomere shortening due to movement of the myofilaments
56
concentric contraction
shortening of the muscle, the result of sarcomere shortening
57
eccentric contraction
lengthening of the muscle while force is produced within the sarcomere to control the stretch
