Lecture 4 Flashcards
PA:
activity requiring physical exertion
What is the purpose of PA?
may or may not be to sustain or improve health and/or fitness
What are the 4 types of PA?
- locomotion
- ADLs
- occupation
- exercise
Exercise:
a type of PA
What is the purpose of exercise?
sustain or improve health and/or fitness
Generic PA alone may not be sufficient to…
- sustain health
- restore health
Name 3 roles of exercise.
- identify aspects of health requiring training
- select appropriate exercises to target those aspects of health
- determine training parameters required to elicit adaptation
Progressive overload:
training adaptations are elicited by exceeding the normal loading on physiologic systems (threshold for adaptation)
Overload is induced by…
manipulating frequency, volume, and intensity
SAID:
- specific adaptations to imposed demand
- physiologic adaptations are specific to the overload imposed
- appropriate adaptations are elicited by selecting the correct exercise mode(s)
If your client’s goal is to improve hip and lumbar spine bone mineral density, how would we do this? Give exercise modes and optimal and non optimal exercises.
- how: axial loading of vertebrae, pelvis, and femur
- modes: resistance training
- optimal: squat, lunge, leg press, deadlift
- non-optimal: leg extension, back extension, bench press
If your client’s goal is to improve ability to cycle to work through river valley, how would we do this with CV fitness?
- modes: aerobic exercise
- optimal: cycling, running, rowing
- non-optimal: weight training, flexibility
If your client’s goal is to improve ability to cycle to work through river valley, how would we do this with local muscular endurance (quads)?
- modes: anaerobic exercise, resistance training
- optimal: cycling (sprinting), stair running, squat
- non optimal: running
In order to assess health related physical fitness, we need to identify _____ necessary to ____, _____ or _____ health.
- physical fitness components
- sustain, restore, improve
What are the general categories of physical fitness components?
- cardiovascular
- musculoskeletal/orthopaedic
- neurological (for older adults)
How does CV endurance play a role in running/jogging?
- use primarily aerobic metabolism for running
- prevents fatigue
How does body composition play a role in running/jogging?
- excess body fat increases metabolic and muscular effort
- insufficient muscle mass increases muscular effort
How does muscular strength play a role in running/jogging?
low muscle strength increases muscular effort
How does muscular endurance play a role in running/jogging?
low muscular endurance results in fatigue
How does flexibility play a role in running/jogging?
poor flexibility impairs running technique
What are the 4 modes of exercise?
- cardiorespiratory (aerobic/anaerobic metabolic)
- resistance training
- flexibility
- neuromotor
Does PA exceed progressive overload?
may or may not
Exercise ______ exceeds normal loading.
intentionally
Exercise programming (dose) is individualized to…
elicit optimal response
How do we manipulate exercise dose?
FITT principle
FITT:
- frequency
- intensity
- time/volume
- type of exercise
ACSM guidelines are _______-based recommendations.
scientific evidence
