25
accetable diastolic bp
less than 80
26
Systolic pressure
Reflects the pressure produced by the heart as it pumps blood to the body
27
acceptable systolic bp
less than 120
28
body Composition assessments
1. skinfold measurement 2. biolelectrical impedance (portable instrument to conduct an electrical current through the body to estimate fat) 3. underwater weighing
29
Cient's body fat percentage is measured by:
Skin-fold Caliper Measurements
30
4 Skinfold Test Sites
Biceps, Triceps, Subscapular & Iliac crest
31
Circumference Measurements (7)
Neck, Chest, Waist, Hips, Thighs, Calves, Biceps
32
waist to hips ratio
divide waist measurement by hip measurement
33
waist to hip ratio (risk levels)
ratio greater than .8 for women and .95 for men puts people at increase risk for a number of diseases
34
BMI
divide body weight in kilograms by height in meters squared kg/m
35
Body Mass Index (BMI) ranges for overweight
Mild 25-30, Moderate 30-35, Severe over 35
36
normal health BMI
18.6-24.99
37
overweight BMI
25-29.99
38
obese BMI
30+
39
Cardiorespiratory Assessments
- Three Minute Step Test | - Rockport Walk Test
40
Pronation distortion syndrome:
a postural distortion syndrome characterized by foot pronation (flat feet) and adducted and internally rotated knees (knock knees)
41
Lower crossed syndrome:
a postural distortion syndrome characterized by an anterior tilt to the pelvis (arched lower back)
42
Upper crossed syndrome:
a postural distortion syndrome characterized by a forward head and rounded shoulders
43
posture
the alignment and function of all components of the kinetic chain at any given moment
44
postural equilibrium
maintaining a state of balance in the alignment of the kinetic chain
45
Kinetic Chain Checkpoints
``` Foot and ankle Knee Lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC) Shoulders Head and cervical spine ```
46
Posture & Movement Assessments
``` Pronation distortion syndrome Lower crossed syndrome Upper crossed syndrome Overhead Squat Assessment Single-Leg Squat Assessment Pushing Assessment Pulling Assessment ```
47
Checkpoints for Overhead Squat
Lateral: LHPC, upper body | Anterior (front): feet, knees
48
Checkpoints for Single Leg Squat
Knee
49
Checkpoints for Pushing & Pulling Assessments
Lumbo-pelvic-hip-complex Shoulder complex Head
50
Performance Tests:
Push-up Davies Test Shark Skill Test Upper extremity strength assessment (Bench Press) Lower extremity Strength assessment (Squat w/barbell)
51
Davies Test
designed to assess upper body extremity agility and stabilization
52
Shark Skills Test
designed to assess lower body agility and neuromuscular control
53
Bench Press Test
designed to estimate the one rep maximum, for training intensity purposes (upper body)
54
Squat Test
designed to estimate the one-rep squat maximum, for training intensity purposes (lower body)
55
Beta-blockers
- anti-hypertensive [high blood pressure] - arrhythmias [irregular heart rate] result: heart rate down, blood pressure down
56
Calcium-channel blockers
function: anti-hypertension, angina [chest pain] result: heart rate up (the same or down), blood pressure down
57
Nitrates
function: -anti-hypertensive [high blood pressure] -congestive heart failure result: heart rate up [the same] blood pressure the same [down]
58
Diuretics
function: -anti-hypertensive [high blood pressure] -arrhythmias [ irregular heart rate] result: heart rate the same, pressure the same [down]
59
Bronchodilators
function: -asthma -pulmonary diseases result: heart rate the same -pressure the same
60
Vasodilators
Used in the treatment: -anti-hypertensive [high blood pressure] -congestive heart failure result: heart rate up [the same or down] blood pressure down
61
Antidepressants
Used in the treatment: various psychiatric and emotional disorders result: heart rate up [the same] blood pressure the same or down
62
Soleus
Plantar Flexion
63
