Answer 1

Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint

Question 2

Answer 2

Person w a BMI of 25 to 29.9 or who is between 25 and 30 lbs over recommended weight for height

Question 3

BMI Calc

Answer 3

703* (weight(lbs)/height^2(in^2) - or - weight (kg)/weight(kg)

Question 4

Blood lipids

Answer 4

cholesterol and triglcerides. carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules known as high density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins

Question 5

Which is good cholesterol and which is bad

Answer 5

Good is HDL, bad is LDL

Question 6

Healthy cholesterol levels

Answer 6

Healthy: < 200 mg/dL
Borderline: between 200 and 239 mg/dL
High-risk: >240mg/dL

Question 7

Diabetes mellitus

Answer 7

chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins

Question 8

Type 1 diabetes

Answer 8

pancreas does not produce insulin or cells have become insulin resistant. blood sugar is not optimally delivered to cells resulting in hyperglycemia - high blood sugar

Question 9

Type 2 diabetes

Answer 9

• associated w obesity
• accounts for 90 - 95% of all diabetes
• produce adequate amounts of insulin but cells are resistant and do not allow insulin to bring adequate amounts of blood sugar (glucose) into the cell

Question 10

Deconditioned

Answer 10

A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and/or a lack of core and joint stability

Question 11

Proprioception

Answer 11

The cumulative neural input to the central nervous system from mechanoreceptors that senses position and limb movement

Question 12

Proprioceptively enriched environment

Answer 12

An unstable (but controlled) environment where exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms

Question 13

Three adaptations to training

Answer 13

physiologic, physical, performance

Question 14

Physiologic adaptations to training

Answer 14

• improved cardio respiratory efficiency
• enhanced beneficial endocrine (hormone) and serum lipid(cholesterol) adaptations
• increases metabolic efficiency
• increases bone density

Question 15

Physical adaptations to training

Answer 15

Question 17

Phases of training

Answer 17

smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training

Question 18

muscular endurance

Answer 18

a muscles ability to contract for an extended period

Question 19

neuromuscular efficiency

Answer 19

the ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion

Question 20

Superset

Answer 20

Set of two exercises that are performed back to back without any rest time between them

Answer 23

• 66%
• 43%
• 72 million

Question 24

What is the OPT Model

Answer 24

• conceptualized as a training program for a society that has more structural imbalances and susceptibility to injury than ever before
• a process of programming that systematically progresses any client to any goal
• built on a foundation of principles that progressively and systematically allows any client to achieve optimal levels of physiologic, physical and performance adaptions
