Define specificity.

Effect of exercise training is specific to those muscles involved in the activity.

Define overload principle.

Basic principle of physical conditioning that states that in order to improve physical fitness, the body or specific muscle need to be stressed.

Define the principle of progression.

Principle of training that states that overload should increase gradually.

Define the 10% rule.

Training intensity or duration of exercise should NOT be increased by more than 10% per week.

What is the FITTVP Principle?

F-frequency(how often) I-intensity(how hard) T-time(how long) T-type(mode of activity) V-volume(how much, FrequencyXtimeXintensity) P-progression

What are the benefits of physical activity?

-Decreases risk of CVD -Decreases risk of Diabetes -Increases Bone Mass -Increases Bone Mass -Increases Longevity

What is the Threshold for health benefits?

The minimum amount of exercise needed to get significant health benefits. 30-60 minutes of moderate-vigorous exercise 3-5x weekly.

What does the Cardiorespiratory system consist of?

Heart, Blood vessels & respiratory system.

What is in the respiratory system?

Nose, mouth, throat, voice box, windpipe & lungs

What do veins do?

Carry blood TO the heart.

What do arteries do?

Carry blood AWAY from the heart.

What are the two terms in Blood pressure?

Systole: Contraction Diastole: Relaxation

What is the main function of the Respiratory system?

Supply the body with Oxygen and carried off CO2.

How is muscular strength measured?

1RM/Grip test

1How is muscular endurance measured?

Push up, sit up

How is flexibility measured?

Sit and reach test

What is the best ways to prevent injuries?

-Warm-up and Cool down -Stay within the training threshold -Track your heart rate -Ensure environment is save(not to hot, not to cold) -Ensure air quality is good -RICE minor injuries

What intensity should you be able to perform the talk test?

Moderate intensity.

What is ATP?

Adenosine Triphosphate, a high energy compound that is synthesized and stored in small quantities in muscle and other cells. The breakdown of ATP results in a release of energy that can be used to fuel muscular contraction.

Define anaerobic?

WITHOUT oxygen; in cells, pertains to biochemical pathways that do not require oxygen to produce energy.

What is aerobic?

WITH oxygen; in cells, pertains to biochemical pathways that does require oxygen to produce energy.

What does a tendon connect?

Muscle to bone

What does a ligament connect?

Bone to bone.

Define flexibility.

The ability to move a joint through the full ROM.

What is a stretch reflex?

Involuntary contraction of a muscle due to rapid stretching of that muscle.

What are proprioceptors?

Receptors that sends feedback to the brain about positions of body parts.

What triggers the stretch reflex?

Muscle spindles being stretched rapidly.

What is the disease related to lack of exercise?

Hypokinetic disease.

What are some benefits of flexibility?

Define Dynamic stretching and provide an example.

Involves moving the joint through the full ROM, too mimic a sport specific movement.(open the gate)

Define ballistic stretching and provide an example.

Sudden and forceful bouncing to stretch the muscle. (touch toes while bouncing)

Define static stretching and provide an example.

Slowly lengthen the muscle to a point where further movement is limited. (Touch your toes)

What is an antagonist muscle?

Muscle on the opposite side of the joint. (tricep in a bicep curl)

Is plastic elongation short or long term flexibility?

Long term

Is elastic short or long term flexibility?

Short term
