Q

Many individual differences exist in flexibility due to what 3 things?

A
  1. anatomical structure (i.e. limb length, tendon length and tissue elasticity)
  2. learned bio mechanics

20
Q

what is the distance you should have when talking to friends?

A

4 feet

21
Q

what is the distance you should have when in the public talking to strangers?

A

12 feet

22
Q

What is the intimate distance?

A

1 and a half feet

23
Q

When working with new clients what two major areas you should screen or ask?

A
  1. are there any areas of your body where you feel pain/discomfort today?
  2. what is their comfort level with you physically touching them during the course of a session?
24
Q

How would you go about asking a client for permission/comfort level with being touched as part of your session?

A
  1. introduce yourself

2. explain in detail the reason why you may touch them during the session.

25
Q

What are the benefits of a warm-up?

A
  • prepares body for increase intensity (safety)
  • increased blood flow
  • increased core and skeletal muscle temperature
  • increased pliability of muscle and tendons and decrease the risk of injury from extreme challenges of range of motion
  • mentally prepare for exercise task-concentration
26
Q

what are the three types of warm-up

A
  1. general
  2. specific
  3. simulation
27
Q

what is a general warm-up?

A

typically whole body, rhythmical movements and designed to increase core temp and elevate HR

28
Q

T/F general warm-up is a low moderate intensity cardiovascular activity

A

T

29
Q

What are some examples of general warm-up?

A
  • jogging
  • stationary biking
  • rowing
30
Q

a general warm-up often last for how many minutes?

A

5-10 minutes which is enough time to elevate the HR, but not long enough to induce fatigue

31
Q

What are the intensity guidelines?

A
  • 50-60% of max heart rate
  • max HR: 220 Minus age
  • talk test
32
Q

What is a specific warm-up?

A

geared towards muscle groups/movement patterns to be targeted in the workout
-may involve dynamic stretching

33
Q

What intensity is specific warm-ups done at?

A

It is done at lower intensity

examples are bench pressing 12x135lbs

34
Q

What do specific warm-up do?

A

prepares connective tissue and nervous system for higher intensity

35
Q

What is simulation warm-up?

A

practice/rehearsal of complex movements to be used in the workout. often involving coordination, balance, accuracy and timing

36
Q

rehearsal of skills are used in what activities?

A
  • sports

- field ground balls/fly or taking batting practice in baseball

37
Q

What do dynamic warm-up or mobility drills do?

A

active movements where we gradually increase range of motion and closer approximation of movements used in sport/training

38
Q

What are some exercise that cooling down should consist of?

A
  • 5 to 10 minutes jogging/walking decrease body temp and removes waste products
  • 5 to 10 minutes static stretching exercise
39
Q

When should we use static stretching and why?

A

during a cool down because it helps muscle relax, realign muscle fibres and re-establish their normal range of movement

40
Q

How long should static stretching should be held for?

A

10-30 seconds

41
Q

What are some benefits of cool downs?

A
  • aid in dissipation of waste products which is lactic acid
  • reduce the potential of delayed onset muscle soreness DOMS
  • reduce dizziness
  • reduce level of stress hormones - adrenaline
  • allows heart rate to return to its resting rate
42
Q

our target population is?

A

healthy adults

43
Q

what are the primal/fundamental movements?

A
  • squatting
  • lunging
  • hip hinging
  • pushing
  • pulling
  • gait
  • rotating
44
Q

What are the training principles?

A
  1. specificity: said (specific adaptations to impose demands)
    2.overload
  2. rest/recovery/adaptation
  3. progression
    5.retrogression/reversibility
    6.maintenance
    individualization
  4. warm-up/cool down
45
Q

What does F.I.T.T or fit of overload stand for?

A

frequency- how often you train
intensity- how hard you train
time- how long you train
type- the activity you are performing
