Kines Test Flashcards
Exercise Psychology
focuses on the psychological aspects of fitness, exercise, health, and wellness.
Sports Psychology
focuses on the psychological aspects of competitive sport participation.
ABC’s of Physical Activity
Affect
Behavior
Cognition
Extrinsic Motivation
occurs when we are motivated to perform a behavior or engage in an activity to earn an external award or to avoid punishment.
Intrinsic Motivation
involves engaging in a behavior because it is personally rewarding; especially, performing an activity for its own sake rather than the desire for some external reward.
Stress
a process in which individuals perceive an imbalance between their response capabilities and the demands of the situation
Arousal
a state of physical and psychological activation or readiness
Anxiety
a negative response to a stressful situation characterized by apprehension and feelings of threat.
Burnout
Feelings of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion
Nirsa
National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association
Biomechanics
A study that focuses on the mechanical aspects of human movement. The study of forces and their effects on human movement
Kinematics
Description of motion
Motor Behavior
a field of study focused on understanding human movement and how behavior changes. It uses knowledge from neurophysiology (neuromotor level) and Psychology (behavioral level)
Motor Control
The study of postures and movements and the mechanisms which underly them.
Motor Learning
The study of the process by which the capability for producing movement performance and the actual movement performance is reliably changed through instruction, practice, and/or experience.
Motor Development
The study of changes in human motor behavior over the lifespan
Strength and Conditioning
making someone bigger,faster,stronger using applied research for practical application
5 Components of Fitness
Muscular Strength and Endurance
Anaerobic Fitness
Aerobic Fitness
Flexibility
Body Composition
Muscular Strength
the maximal force generated in one rep at a given velocity of exercise
Absolute
the largest amount of force exerted, regardless of muscle or body size
Relative
takes the individual’s weight/mass into account
Muscular Endurance
A function of the muscle producing force over multiple consecutive contractions and can be assessed in time frames ranging from seconds, minutes, or hours.
Power
time rate of doing work. Power=work/time
Power Assessments
Vertical, Wingate
Anerobic Training
Energy generated by systems with the absence of oxygen
Aerobic Training
Energy generated by systems with the presence of oxygen
Concentric
muscle shortens
Eccentric
Muscle lengthens
Isometric
no change in length, STATIC
Isokinetic
speed is constant
Speed
the ability to move your body as fast as possible in linear directions
Agility
skills and abilities needed to change direction, velocity or mode in response to stimulus
Exercise Physiology
the study of how the body functions during the stress of physical activity
Overload Principle
You must challenge/stress yourself to see results/gains
Principle of Progression
As you get stronger, faster, and cardiovascular fit you must keep challenging/stressing yourselves to see further improvements
Specificity of Exercise
Only the muscles or systems trained will see improvement
Reversibility of Training Effects
if you dont use it you lose it\
VO^2 Max Testing
Maximal oxygen consumption the body can take in, transport, and consume to generate ATP
