Q

how can we indirectly measure body comp?

A

hydrostatic weighing
bodpod
dexa

42
Q

who is hydrostatic weighing appropriate for?

A

  • test takes a few hours
43
Q

who is bodpod appropriate for?

A

not if you’re
- clausterphobic
- overweight
- super hairy
pregos can yay!
limited time - takes 20min total

44
Q

who is dexa appropriate for?

A

not doing:
- with pregos
- if you can’t fit on the bed,
do w everyone else - quicker and more convenient, high validity (emerging gold standard)

45
Q

what are doubly indirect methods of measuring body comp?

A

(comparing results of test to other validated indirect test)
BIA
BMI
skin folds

46
Q

con of each doubly indirect method

A

BIA - only reliable if extensive protocols followed
BMI - validated for only specific populations, add WC to be useful
skin folds - hugely dependent on technician

47
Q

aerobic fitness:

A

ability of heart, lungs, and circulatory system to deliver oxygen to working muscles and the ability of muscles to utilize available oxygen to perform exercise

48
Q

what is VO2 max?

A

max rate o2 can be taken into body, transported and utilized to perform work, measure of aerobic POWER

49
Q

what is VO2 peak?

A

highest recorded vo2 during GXT regardless of VO2 plateau or RER >1.15

50
Q

VO2 peak criteria:

A
  • Failure HR to increase with load and w/n 15bpm of Hrmax
  • Venous lactate conc. > or = to 8mmol
  • Volitional Fatigue
  • RER > or = 1.15
51
Q

VO2 max criteria:

A
  • Failure HR to increase with load and w/n 15bpm of Hrmax
  • Venous lactate conc. > or = to 8mmol
  • Volitional Fatigue
  • RER > or = 1.15
    AND
    reach plateau despite increase in workload
52
Q

what indicates that VO2 plateau has been reached?

A

changes in VO2< 2mL/kg/min

53
Q

whos more likely to reach vo2max vs peak?

max: highly trained
peak: deconditioned, special populations

54

55
Q

who is Bruce best suited for?

A

go to volitional max
*****

56
Q

who is shuttle run/ beep test best suited for?

A

large groups/ teams
- there is big learning curve

57
Q

what are the submax indirect aerobic tests:

A

astrand
queens college
coopoers 1.5 mile

58
Q

what do indirect tests measure?

A

measure a construct known to be predictive to actual construct of interest

59
Q

what are the 3 assumptions made w/ indirect tests regarding HR, PO and VO2?

A

linear relationship exists b/n the 3:

VO2 increases with power output until plateau is reached
HR increases with power output
HR increases with VO2 until plateau is reached

60
Q

what are 2 other indirect test big assumptions and realities?

A

Max HR for a given age is uniform –> HR can vary up to ±20𝑏𝑝𝑚
Mechanical efficiency (VO2 at a given work rate) is the same for everyone –> A runner with poor running economy would exhibit higher VO2/HR at any given running speed than an economical runner
submax: steady state HR obtained for each work rate

61
Q

how do indirect maximal tests usually estimate VO2 max?

A

estimate by performance time

62
Q

how to calculate when anaerobic threshold is met:

81
Q

what is MSK fitness an integration between?
(5)

A

muscular strength
muscular endurance
muscular power
flexibility
balance

82
Q

muscular strength

A

ability of a muscle or a group of muscles to exert maximal external force (single contraction or very short period)
ex: 1RM

83
Q

muscular endurance

A

ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time
ex: back extension

84
Q

muscular power

A

peak capability of a muscle to generate force - highest power attainable in a single movement (integration of muscle strength and velocity)
ex: vertical jump - few seconds

85
Q

flexibility

A

range of motion of a joint
ex: sit and reach

86
Q

balance

A

ability to keep the body’s center of gravity within the base of support
ex: Y balance

87
Q

absolute strength method:

A

no adjustment for body mass differences

(more you way more you lift - rule 99% of the time)

88
Q

Relative method of adjustment/ expression of relative strength

A

flip absolute - weight lifted/body mass - invert effect, lighter individuals score better

89
Q

allometric scaling

A

remove effect of body mass
use equation w/ exponent

90
Q

static strength tests:

A

handgrip - predictor of future all cause mortality, across demographics and SE classes
isometric mid thigh pull - correlated to VJ, sprint speed, reliable

91
Q

1RM test protocols
warm up:
attempts:
which score is used?

A

warm up
1 set of 5-10 reps at 40-60% estimated 1RM
1-2 sets 3-5 reps at 60-80% estimated 1RM

attempts
3-5min rest b/n each lift
repeat until client fails to complete lift
achieve 1RM w/n 3-5 trials

weight lifted in last successful repetition

92
Q

what groups would you do 1RM test with?

A

Do w athletes, gen pop = gray area (limited training experience = p 1RM instead)

93
Q

p1RM test protocols
warm up:
attempts:
what is clients does >10 or <6 reps?

A

warm up
aerobic followed by 40-60% of estimated 1RM for 5-10reps

attempts
1 set of 10 reps at 60-80% of estimated 1RM

> 10 reps = allow 2-3 min rest, repeat w increased load
<6 reps = rest, repeat w/ decreased load

94
Q

why use p1RM instead of 1RM?

A

deconditioned, less familiar w movement patterns, time

95
Q

how to determine % 1RM from # reps completed

A

divide weight lifted by %1RM

96
Q

examples of static and dynamic muscular endurance testing:

A

static = maintain position for as long as possible ex: flexed arm hang
dynamic = AMRAP against submaximal load until volitional fatigue ex: YMCA bench press

97
Q

anaerobic power

A

max rate of ATP utilization using anaerobic metabolism per unit of time - force produced when muscles contract at a high speed

done in ~ 30 seconds
ex: wingate, cunningham, stair climb test

98
Q

why is it not recommended to use YMCA bench press test with super strong or weak individuals?

A

AMRAP
weak = not measure of true muscle endurance (becomes max strength)
strong = max out test, not accurate measure

99
Q

similarities and differences b/n muscular power and anaerobic power:

A

anaerobic power: anaerobic glycolysis, 30-40 seconds - max rate of ATP utilization using glycolysis

muscular power: PCr, 1-10seconds - peak capability of muscle to generate force

100
Q

cunningham
