Intro to Ex Phys Flashcards
exercise physiology
basic and applied science that describes, explains, and uses the body’s response to exercise and adaptation (multiple bouts) to exercise training to maximize human potential (performance and health)
Why study ex phys according to the founding fathers of modern exercise phys
humans are made to be physically active -
why study ex phys (2)
understand how human phys is impacted by various types of exercise/training programs and the mechanisms mediating associated change
apply understanding
- max health, performance and rehab at a personal and community level
- debunk myths and misconceptions
cost of inactivity
1 of 4 common risk factors for non-communicable diseases which are the major causes of death and disability, 6.8B/yr
to break world records
optimize performance by controling aspects that will play into the winning factor

Physical activity
all leisure and non leisure body movement produced by the skeletal muscles, resulting in energy expenditure above resting (vocational or domestic)
goal of PA is different than
exercise
exercise
single acute bout of bodily exertion or muscular activity that requires an expenditure of energy above resting level
- planned, structured, and repetitive activity for improvement of physical fitness
physical fitness
physiological state of well-being, provides, foundation for the tasks of daily living, a degree of protection from hypokinetic disease, and a basis of participation in sport
exercise response
- pattern
- affected by
physioogical responses which occurs during/immediately following an acute bout of exercise
- pattern of homeostatic disruption or change in physiological variables
- age, sex, physiological status
exercise can be classified as
modality - type of activity/sport
intensity
duration - length of time that muscular work continues
modality of sport 2
classified by energy demand (aerobic/anaerobic)
type of muscle action - continuous and rhymical, dynamic, resistance, or static
intensity of sport 2
maximal - aerobic - VO2max - max level of O2 you can bring in
submaximal - below max ability to deliver O2
hierarchy of exercise according to intensity 6
strenth - 1RM
muscle power - consider time
anaerobic power - alactic3-5sec and lactic less than 30
anaerobic capacity - alactic - 10-15sec and 90 for lactic
aerobic power (VO2MAX - 3-5 min)
aerobic capacity ( anaerobic threshold) - substrate limitation and metabolic byproducts
3 energy systems
anaerobic alactic and lactic
aerobic
energy system capacity
total amt of energy produced by an energy system in J
energy system power
max amt of energy that can be produce/unit of time measured in watts
force
massxacceleration (N)
work
forcexdistance (J) - force expressed through a displacement with no limitation on time
power
work/time(s) in watts
rate of performing work or the rate of transformation of metabolic potential to work and/or heat
ergometry
permits measurement of work and power
