NASM CPT Chapter 1 Flashcards
Muscle Imbalance
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint.
HDL
Good Cholesterol.
LDL
Bad Cholesterol.
Type 2 Diabetes
- 90-95% of all diabetes.
- Patients produce adequate amts of insulin; however, their cells are resistant and do not allow insulin to bring adequate amts of blood sugar (glucose) into the cell.
Formula for BMI in lbs:
BMI= 703 X weight (lb)/height^2(in^2)
Formula for BMI in kg:
BMI = weight (kg)/height^2(m^2)
Overweight
BMI of 25-29.9 or 25-30lbs over recommended weight for their height.
Obese
BMI of 30+ or 30+lbs over recommended weight for their height.
How many ACL injuries annually in the US?
&
What percent of them are non-contact?
80,000-100,000 ACL injuries/year
&
70% are non-contact.
Proprioception
The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement.
(The body’s awareness in space)
Proprioceptively enriched environment:
&
What’s a type of training that enhances this?
An unstable (yet controllable) physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms.
Example: balance training.
The OPT Model is:
&
The physical benefits are:
A step by step guide to train different goals.
&
Decreases body fat, increases lean body mass (muscle), increases tissue tensile strength (tendons, ligaments, muscles).
What are the 5 phases of the OPT Model (in order)?
Phase 1: Stabilization Phase 2: Strength Endurance Phase 3: Hypertrophy Phase 4: Maximal Strength Phase 5: Power
What are the 3 levels of the OPT Model (in order)?
Level 1: Stabilization
Level 2: Strength
Level 3: Power
What is the main focus of Stabilization training?
To increase muscular endurance and stability while developing optimal neuromuscular efficiency.
