KIN335 Midterm Flashcards
What are the top 3 causes of death reported in Canada?
- Malignant neoplasms (cancer)
- Diseases of heart (heart disease)
- Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke)
WHO definition of health
A state of mental, social & physical well-being, and not the absence of disease. A dynamic model, internal experience or feeling.
Wellness definition
A more holistic concept that describes a state of positive health in the individual
Having the components of health balanced and at sufficient levels
Morbidity definition
Any departure from the a state of physical or psychological well being, the relative incidence of disease or ‘unhealthiness’
Active life expectancy (longevity)
Age expected to live without conditions restricting activities
Disability free life expectancy
Number of years remaining with no limitations attributed to impairments
Physical activity
Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure above resting energy expenditure.
All leisure and non-leisure body movements resulting in an increased energy output from the resting condition
Physical activity broadly encompasses
- exercise
- sport
- physical activities done as part of daily living (chores)
- occupation (work),
- leisure – time PA,
- active transportation.
Leisure Time Physical Activity
- An activity undertaken in individuals free time
- Involves personal choice
- Not just health or fitness motivation
Exercise
- Leisure time PA that is usually performed repeatedly over an extended period of time with specific external objective (sustaining or improving health and/or fitness, physical performance)
- Physical effort carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness
Sport
- Form of PA that involves competition (with rules and regulatory body), planned, structured, skilled, competitive.
Performance related physical fitness
- The ability to perform muscular work satisfactorily
- Attained characteristics for acceptable performance
Health related physical fitness
- An ability to perform daily activities with vigor by traits associated with low risk of chronic disease and pre-mature death
6 components associated with health related fitness
Cardio-respiratory
Body composition
Flexibility
Muscular strength
Muscular endurance (x2)
Muscular power
7 performance/skill related fitness components
Agility
Coordination
Speed
Balance
Reaction time
Muscular power
Muscular Endurance
Physical inactivity
The absence of physical activity, reflected as the proportion of time not engaged in physical activity. (how much time spent sitting)
A risk factor for chronic disease
physical inactivity
3 main barriers of PA
energy
time
motivation
Conditioning noun
The state of something with regards to it’s appearance, quality, or working order (a persons state of health/PA, an illness or medical problem)
Conditioning verb
Bring something into the desired state of use
How is conditioning achieved?
Physical activity
Nutrition
Ergogenic aids
Adjunctive modalities
What is exercise
Generation of force by activated muscles results in a disruption of homeostasis
Adaptation
Semi-permanent change in the human system
FITT
Frequency, Intensity, Type, Time
What is critical to elicit adaptations?
Type of stimulus must be strong enough to disrupt homeostasis
Physical Training
Planned regimen of appropriate types of exercise, with sufficient volume, intensity, and frequency to elicit change
Modes of training
Exercise selection
Methods of training
Manipulation of volume, intensity, frequency
3 training objectives
Health & wellness, body composition, performance
4 steps for developing a training program
- Assessment of needs and goals
- Identification of time frame
- Planning training program (modes and methods) specific to needs and goals
- Monitor training efficacy and modify training program as necessary
Top 3 principles of exercise
- Progressive overload
(Stimulus is efficient enough to cause overload) - Principle of specificity
(Specific muscle group, strength, metabolic systems, movement patterns for the goal) - Principle of individual variability (heterogeneity of response)
- All humans don’t respond the same way
Performance
Action of performing a task or function
Allostasis
Maintaining homeostasis through changing conditions
Health related physical fitness components (6)
Cardiovascular, body composition, flexibility, muscular fitness, neuromotor, explosiveness
Cardiovascular fitness component & subtypes
Ability to supply muscles with oxygen and ability for muscles to use oxygen
Subtypes: aerobic and anaerobic
Potential consequences for decreased cardiovascular health
Cardiac / pulmonary / vascular disease
Impaired performance of sustained low intensity physical activity
Impaired recovery following physical exertion
Body composition fitness component & subtypes
The absolute and relative amounts of fat, bone and muscle composing the body
Subtypes: muscle mass, fat mass, bone mass (bone mineral density)
Potential consequences for decreased body composition health
Cardiac / pulmonary / vascular disease
Metabolic diseases (type 2 diabetes)
Osteopaenia -> osteoporosis
Flexibility / Suppleness fitness component & subtypes
The range of motion through which a segment of joint can move
Subtypes: active & passive
Potential consequences for decreased flexibility health
Inability to perform physical tasks properly
Increased risk of musculoskeletal injury
Pain / discomfort
Active insufficiency
Inability of a multi-joint muscle to get any shorter because of kinematics of segments involved.
Muscle will cramp up, spasm
Passive insufficiency
Inability of multi-joint muscle to get any longer, restricts ROM
Muscular fitness fitness component & subtypes
The ability for a muscle to generate force (strength) repetitively or for a sustained period (endurance).
Subtypes: -static / dynamic
- concentric / eccentric / isometric
Potential consequences of decreased muscular fitness health
Inability to perform physical tasks properly
Inability to sustain performance of moderate to high intensity physical tasks
Increased risk of musculoskeletal injury
Impairment in static and/or dynamic balance
Muscle spasms/cramping
Active LTPA in Canadians over 12
3.0kcal/kg/day
Moderately active LTPA in Canadians over 12
1.5-2.9kcal/kg/day
Inactive LTPA in Canadians over 12
Less than 1.5kcal/kg/day
Minimum guidelines for PA
150 minutes moderate to vigorous aerobic activity per week
Most common form of PA
Locomotion
Types of locomotion
Walking, running, cycling, stairs
EEEE low intensity
3-6 kcal/min
EEEE moderate intensity
6-9 kcal/min
EEEE vigorous intensity
9-12 kcal/min
Harris-Benedict Equation for men
BMR = (10Wkg) + (6.25Hcm) - (5*age) + 5
+ 1% for RMR
Harris-Benedict Equation for women
BMR = (10Wkg) + (6.25Hcm) - (5*age) - 161
+1% for RMR
TDEE equation
RMR + TEF (10% intake) + NEAT + EPOC (~10% of EEE) + LTPA + exercise
