midterm Flashcards
exercise requirements
150 mins mod-int/ 75 min vig-int
physical fitness
a set of health, or skill, related attributes that people have or achieve as a result of PA
exercise
planned, structured, repetitive movement done to improve or maintain one or more component of pf
endurance
ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply fuel during sustained PA
strength
amount of external force that a muscle can exert
balance
maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving
flexibility
ROM available at a joint
physical activity
any bodily movement produced by large skeletal muscles that requires substantial energy expenditure
non exercise activity thermoneogenisis (NEAT)
energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating, or sport-like exercise
physically inactive
term used to identify people who do no meet recommended levels of PA
sedentary behavior
any waking activity characterized by an EE of less than or equal to 1.5 metabolic equivalents in a seated or reclined posture
discretionary behaviors
behaviors such as watching tv, reading, playing video games
lifestyle PA
activities carried out in the course of daily life, which can contribute to sizable EE
activities of daily living (ADLs)
daily self-care activities
Basic ADLs
consist of self care tasks
instrumental ADLs
activities non necessary for fundamental function, but allow people to live more independently
primary modes of exercise
endurance, flexibility, strength, balance
sub-categories of PA
leisure-time, occupationl, household, and transport
non-discretionary behaviors
sitting at work, schools, or while commuting
importance of lifestyle PA
allows you to meet PA requirements throughout your day
PA guidelines for children
3 hours of all int activity throughout the day, encourage active play
PA guidelines for adolescents
at least 60 mins mod-v int aerobic with strength and bone training 3 days a week
PA guidlines for adults
150 mins or mod int or 75 mins v int aerobic throughout the day. strength train large muscle groups 2 days a week
PA guidelines for older adults
same as adults, weekly multicomponent PA including balancing
PA guidelines for special populations
same age specific guidelines with adapted program to match ability
importance of PA measurements
- specify which aspects of PA are important for fitness-related outcomes
- monitor changes in behavior over time
- monitor effectiveness of behavioral changes
What aspects of PA can be measured
FITT
Important measurement considerations
validity, reliability, feasibility, objectivity, intensity
validity
is it accurate
reliability
is it precise
feasibility
is it practical
objectivity
can it be successfully repeated
intensity
varied yet critical
relative intensity
subjective level of effort required to do an activity
