MID-TERM STUDY GUIDE Flashcards
3 Stages of Alarm Reaction?
- Alarm Reaction
- Resistance Development
- Exhaustion
- A term used to describe how the body responds and adapts to stress.
General Adaptation Syndrome
- Initial reaction to stressor such as increased oxygen and blood supply to the necessary areas of the body.
Alarm Reaction
- Increased functional capacity to adapt to stressor such as increasing motor unit recruitment.
Resistance Development
- A prolonged intolerable stressor produces fatigue and leads to a breakdown in the system or injury.
-Exhaustion
-Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it.
Principle of Specificity or Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands (SAID principle)
What are the 3 main adaptations that occur from resistance training?
- Stabilization
- muscular endurance
- hypertrophy
- strength
- power
-the human movement system’s ability to provide optimal dynamic joint support to maintain correct posture during all movements.
Stabilization
The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time.
Muscular Endurance
Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension.
Hypertrophy
- the ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome as external load.
Strength
The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time.
Power

What kind of information is taken during a fitness assessment that includes learning the clients “general and medical history, occupation, lifestyle, medical and personal” information?
Subjective Information
What kind of information taken from a client during a fitness assessment includes information such as their “physiologic, body composition, cardioresporitory, static and dynamic postural, and performance” assessments?
Objective Information
What must a “participation health screening” include?
- Medical History Questionnaire (PAR-Q)
- Review of chronic disease risk factors and any sign or symptoms of disease.
After reviewing-Decide on Risk- Low, Moderate or High
Individuals who do not have any signs or symptoms of cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disease and have less than 1 cardiovascular disease risk factor.
Low Risk
Individuals who do not have any signs or symptoms of cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disease but have more than 2 cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Moderate Risk
Individuals who have one or more signs or symptoms of cardiovascular, pulmonary or metabolic disease.
High Risk
A questionnaire that has been designed to determine the safety or possible risk of exercising for a client based on the answers to specific health history questions.
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)
What are some sample questions that could be on the PAR-Q test?
- Has your Dr. said you have a heart condition and said you should only perform activities recommended by a dr?
- Do you feel pain in your chest when performing physical activity?
- In the past month, have you had chest pain when performing PA?
- Do you lose your balance b/c of dizziness or ever lost conciousness?
- Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by PA?
- Is your dr. currently prescribing any meds for BP or heart condition?
- Do you know of any other reason why you should not engage in PA?
What are some examples of questions that you would ask a client pertaining to their lifestyle, occupation and medical history?
- What is your occupation, does it require you to sit for long periods, repetitive movements, high heels, or cause anxiety?
- Do you do any recreational activities?
- What are your hobbies?
- Any past injuries, surgeries, chronic conditions, or taking any meds?
What is the purpose of each of the 3 “Target Heart Rate Training Zones”?
Zone 1: Builds aerobic base and aids in recovery - max HR x 65-75
Zone 2: Increases aerobic and anaerobic endurance - max HR x 76-85
Zone 3: Builds high-end work capacity - max HR x 86-95
How would you calculate the clients max HR and then their target HR using the “Straight Percentage Method”?
Max HR = (220-age)
Target Heart Rate = Max HR x intensity (65 -95%)
- the relative percentage of body weight that is fat versus fat-free tissue.
Body Composition
What 3 methods are used to assess Body Composition?
- ) Skinfold - uses caliper to estimate the amt of subcutaneous fat beneath the skin.
- )Bioelectrical impedance - uses a portable instrument to conduct an electrical current thru the body to estimate fat.
- ) Underwater weighing (hydrostatic) - a person’s weight is compared with a person’s weight underwater to determine fat percentage.
- a measure of the girth of body segments
Circumference Measurements
- a rough assessment based on the concept that a person’s weight should be proportional to their height.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
