Motivation to do something that comes from within and individual
i.e. stress relief, increasing energy, finding new ways to be challenged physically

Providing accurate and current information about fitness and exercise
Companionship support
When someone exercises with another person
Examples of outcome goals
Place in top 10 in a 10k race
Achieving a certain level of body fat
Achieving a certain level of strength improvement
Examples of process goals
Jog for 45 minutes, starting at 6:30am M-F to assist with weight loss efforts
Eating 1600 calories per day of mostly whole, unprocessed foods to assist with weight loss efforts
Self-efficacy
One’s belief that they can complete a task, goal, or performance; also known as self-confidence.
Affective judgement
Referring to expected pleasure or enjoyment.
Subjective norms
Belief that an important person or group of people will approve and support a behavior.
Stages of change:
Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance
Precontemplation Stage
The individual does not exercise and is not planning to start exercising within the next 6 months
Contemplation Stage
The individual does not currently exercise but is planning to start within 6 months
Preparation Stage
The individual is planning to begin exercising soon and has taken steps toward it and may even be sporadically exercising
Action Stage
The individual has been exercising for less than 6 months
Maintenance Stage
The individual has been exercising consistently for 6 months or more
Active listening
Listening style that involves having genuine interest in what the speaker is saying
Requires the listener to fully concentrate to understand the speaker’s message
Reflective listening
The process of seeking to understand the meaning of the speaker’s words and restating the idea back to the speaker to confirm that they were understood correctly.

SMART goals
Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely
Central Nervous System (CNS)
A division of the nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Nerves that connect the rest of the body to the central nervous system
Broken down into 2 parts: somatic and autonomic
Afferent pathway
Sensory pathway that relays information to the CNS
Efferent pathway
A motor pathway that relays information form the CNS to the rest of the body
2 most important sensory receptors (mechanoreceptors)
Muscle spindle fibers
Golgi tendon organs
Somatic Nervous System
Nerves that serve the outer areas of the body and skeletal muscle
Largely responsible for the voluntary control of movement
Autonomic Nervous System
Division of the PNS that supplies the neural input to organs that run the involuntary process of the body
Subdivided into Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System
Muscle spindles
Sensitive to change in LENGTH of muscle and rate of change
Golgi tendon organ (GTO)
Located at the point where skeletal muscle fibers insert into tendons of skeletal muscle
Sensitive to changes in muscular TENSION and rate of tension change
3 stages of motor skill development
Stage 1- cognitive
Stage 2- associative
Stage 3- autonomous
Stage 1 of motor skill development
Cognitive
may need to use simple instructions and break down the skill into smaller steps so your clients will be able to understand the goals of the movement
Stage 2 of motor skill development
Associative
may need to help refine client’s skills through practice and regular feedback
Stage 3 of motor skill development
Autonomous
you may be able to teach your clients new versions of the skill to further challenge them
Type I muscle fibers
Slow twitch
Fibers = smaller in size
Produce less force
Fatigue resistant
Type II muscle fibers
Fast twitch
Fibers = larger in size
Produce more force
Fatigue quickly
Stroke volume
The amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction
End-diastolic volume
The filled volume of ventricle before contraction
End-systolic volume
The amount of blood present in the ventricle after contraction
Stroke volume equation
SV= EDV-ESV
Cardiac output
The volume of blood pumped out of the heart in a minute and is a function of both HR and SV
Normal respiratory rate:
12-16 breaths per minute
Bradypnea
Respiratory rate of less than 8 breaths per minute
Tachypnea
Respiratory rate of greater than 24 breaths per minute
Cardiac Output equation
Cardiac Output= HR x SV
or
Cardiac Output= HR x (EDV-ESV)
Muscle actions:
Isotonic
Isometric
Isokinetic
Isotonic muscle actions:
Concentric
Eccentric
Isotonic
Force is produced, muscle tension is developed, and movement occurs through a given range of motion.
Isometric
Muscle tension is created without a change in muscle length and no visible movement of the joint
Isokinetic
The speed of the movement is fixed, and the resistance varies with the force exerted
Requires sophisticated training equipment

Reciprocal inhibition
When an agonist receives a signal to contract, its functional antagonist also receives an inhibitory signal allowing it to length
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Occurs when an overactive agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist
First-class levers
Fulcrum in the middle (like a seesaw)
Ex. nodding the head
Second-class levers
Resistance in the middle with the fulcrum and effort on either side (like a wheelbarrow)
Ex. full body push-up or calf raise
Third-class levers
Effort placed between the resistance and the fulcrum
Ex. forearm (fulcrum is the elbow) during bicep curl; hamstring curl (fulcrum is the knee)
ATP-PC pathway
Simplest and fastest way to generate ATP
Only can support short duration activities
Ex. Short sprints, olympic weightlifting, jumping/plyometrics
Glycolysis
Anaerobic process and generates ATP quickly, but not tremendous amount
Ex. Strength training (8-12 reps)
