Midterm 1 Flashcards
What is SMART goal setting?
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound
ParticipACTION 2019 Stats
16% of adults achieve the 150 minutes of exercise recommended.
52% are considered to be living an active lifestyle.
74% have strong intentions to be active in the next 6 months.
What is the WHO definition of health and wellness? (1948)
Mental, social, and physical wellbeing, not just the absence of disease.
What is the WHO definition of health and wellness? (1984)
Health is not just a state, but a dynamic model or internal experience. (Are you feeling healthy?)
What is Bouchard’s definition of PA? (2012)
Bodily movement by skeletal muscles that results in an EE above resting.
What us Warburton’s definition of PA? (2007)
All leisure and non-leisure body movements resulting in an increased energy output from resting.
Define PA and leisure time PA.
PA: Exercise, sport, ADLs, occupational PA, leisure time PA, active transportation.
Leisure time PA: Activity undertaken in discretionary time. Involves personal choice and can have a variety of motivations.
Define exercise and sport.
Exercise: A form of leisure time PA performed repeatedly over an extended period of time with an external objective. Planned and structured.
Sport: PA that involves competition, rules, structure, and skill.
What is the difference between health related PA and performance related PA?
Health: Ability to perform ADLs with vigour. Can be cardio-respiratory, or focus on body composition, flexibility…
Performance: Ability to perform muscular work satisfactorily. Focus on a goal, agility, coordination, speed, balance…
What is exercise as medicine?
Exercise and PA are important to health and the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases.
As per the CDC and ACSM, what are the two options for exercise programming?
Anything beyond the patient’s current activity level.
Large muscle group activities for 30-40 minutes, 4+ days/week.
What is the ACSM definition of exercise?
Any and all activity that involves the generation of force by activated muscles and disrupts homeostasis.
What is the Winter and Fowler definition of exercise?
Potential disruption to homeostasis by muscle activity.
Explain the difference between single disruption and multiple disruption of homeostasis. Which causes adaptation? What would cause semi-permanent adaptations?
Single: Stimulus and response. Physiologic processes occur to restore homeostasis.
Multiple: Stimulus, response, and adaptation. Stimuli are presented repeatedly and physiologic processes occur to change the condition of the organism or cell, causing adaptation.
Multiple stimuli cause semi-permanent adaptations.
What is an expected timeline for adaptation?
4-6 weeks.
