Q

Why measure musculoskeletal fitness?

A
  • Positively correlated with mobility, independence, glucose homeostasis, bone health and psychological well-being
  • Predict overall effectiveness at sport, occupation, or daily functioning
  • Prescribe exercise loads in a training program
  • monitor progress during training
  • Assess the effectiveness of resistance or rehabilitative programs

29
How are maximal strength values most commonly expresseed
in absolute or relative values
30
What is absolute strength
Maximum amount of force measured by a strength test with no adjustment for body mass
31
What is relative strength
- Ratio method of adjustment | - Divide test outcome by body mass
32
There is a strong relationship between 1RM and ____
muscle endurance
33
Can predict __ from muscle endurance tests
1RM
34
how do you predict 1RM from muscle endurance testing
Test the number of repetitions to failure and calculate the corresponding 1RM
35
What do muscle endurance tests measure
The ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions or sustain a contraction over a period of time
36
With muscle endurance testing, you lift _____ until ____
body weight | failure
37
How do you measure static muscle endurance
maintain a specific position for as long as possible
38
What are the two forms of scoring for a push up test
- Max # before loss in form | - Max # in 1 minute
39
What is the partial curl-up protocol (including equipment)
- Equipment: mat with 2 pieces of tap and a metronome - metronome set to 40bpm = 20 reps per minute - participant lies supine with knees bent, feet on floor, and arms at side touching 1st piece of tap - Participant flexes spine until fingers touch the 2nd piece of tap AMRAP
40

42
What is the metronome set for in a YMCA bench press test
60bpm | 30 reps/min
43
What is the starting position for a YMCA bench press
BB starting on chest and complete AMRAP maintaining cadence
44
What does a YMCA bench press test measure
absolute muscle endurance
45
A YMCA bench presss test is correlated with ____
maximum strength
46
How do you measure grip endurance
using hand grip dynomometer, record initial, record initial force and the final force at the end of 1 minute
47
How do you calculate % decline in force production
(final force/ initial force) x 100
48
How do you score the flexed arm hand
as the number of seconds the participant can support their body weight with the chin over a pull up bar
49
What is the grip for the flexed arm hand
pronated
50
What is the body position for a wall sit
- Flat against wall - Knees 90 degrees - hands at sides
51
When measuring static endurance of trunk, how long to you go for?
until failure
52
What is the body position for back extension
flat back trunk extended over bench lower body secured
53
What needs to take place before completing a lower back extension
prescreen for LBP
54
What is a test for the static endurance of the lateral flexors
side plank/bridge
55
What is the body position for a side plank/bridge
Torso elevated and supported; hips off floor
56
What is a common muscle endurance test for older adults
- 30 second chair stand test
57
What us the body position for the 30 second chair stand test
- Chair positioned against wall - Client sits in the chair with the feet flat on the floor - arms across chest
58
What is the scoring for the 30 second chair test
Count the # of reps the client can complete in 30 seconds (ROM = touch seat -> full extension)
59
If an older adult is more than half way through the range of motion of a chair stand test, do you count it as full repetition?
yes
