25
Proprioception
cumulative sensory input from al mechano receptors that sense position and limb movements
26
Macronutrients
Carbs Fats Protein
27
Essential amino acids
8 amigos that cannot be manufactured by the body
28
Resting metabolic rate (RMR)
amount of energy expended during rest
29
Thermic effect of food (TEF)
additional energy use for digestion, 6-10% of total energy expenditure
30
Energy expended during physical activity
around 20% of total energy expenditure
31
Calculate max HR
HR Max=220-age
32
YMCA step test
96 steps per minute on 12 inch step for 3 min.
33
Rockport walk test
walk 1 mile on treadmill, record time/HR
34
Blood pressure
Systolic-pressure within the arteries when heart contracts | Diastolic- pressure in the arteries when the heart is resting
35
Obesity
30 BMI or greater
36
Skin-fold measurement sites
1) biceps 2) triceps 3) sub scapular 4) iliac crest ALL ON RIGHT SIDE
37
Circumference measurement sites
1) neck 2) chest 3) waist 4) hips 5) calves 6) biceps
38
Waist-to-hip ratio
divide the waist circumference measurement by the hip measurement. **Ratios greater than .80 for woman, .95 for man are at increased risk.
39
6 Performance assessments
``` Davies Shark skill Bench press Squat test Push-up test LEFT test ```
40
Davies test
upper extremity stability and agility
41
Shark skill
lower extremity stability and agility
42
Bench press test
estimates 1 rep max on overall upper body strength of pressing musculature
43
Squat test
estimates 1 rep squat max and overall lower body strength.
44
Push-up test
measures muscular endurance of the upper body primarily pushing muscles
45
LEFT test
assesses agility, acceleration, deceleration, and neuromuscular control
46
Pregnancy
avoid power and speed assessments
47
Obesity- preferred cardio assessment
lockport walk test is preferred cardio assessment
48
Corrective flexibility
increases joint ROM, improves muscle imbalances, and corrects altered joint motion, autogenic inhibition, use for phase 1 training
49
Active flexibility
improves extensibility of soft tissue and increases neuromuscular efficiency, reciprocal inhibition, use for phase 2, 3, 4 training.
50
Functional flexibility
maintains integrated, mulitplanar soft tissue extensibility and optimal neuromuscualar control, full ROM, use for phase 5 training
51
Self-myofascial release
gentle pressure breaks up knots within muscle and helps release unwanted tension, autogenic inhibition
52
Static stretching
passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds, autogenic inhibition
53
Active-isolated stretching
uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move joints into a range of motion; reciprocal inhibition.
54
Dynamic stretching
uses force production and momentum to move joints through full range of motion; reciprocal inhibition
55
Single set
one set of each exercise, good for beginners
56
Multiple set
multiple sets of each exercise
57
Pyramid
increasing (or decreasing) weight with each set
58
Superset
performing two exercises in rapid succession with minimal rest between.
59
Drop-sets
perform a set to failure, remove small percentage of load, then continue with set.
60
Circuit training
performing a series of exercises, one after the other with minimal rest between them.
61
Peripheral heart action
variation of circuit training, alternates upper and lower body exercises to improve circulation.
62
Split-routine
breaking the body up into parts to be trained on separate days.
63
Vertical loading
performing exercises on the OPT template one after the other, in a vertical manner down the template.
64
Horizontal loading
performing all sets for an exercise or body part before moving on to the next
65
Resistance- stabilization exercises
4/2/1 tempo, low weight/high reps in an unstable but controllable environment Ex. Ball squat, curl to press, multiplanar step-up balance, curl to overhead press, push-up, standing cable row, ball dumbbell row, single-leg dumbbell scaption, seated stability ball military press, single leg dumbbell curl, single leg barbell curl, supine ball dumbbell triceps extension, ball squat, multiplayer step-up to balance
