Q

What is aerobic power

A

The maximum rate of oxygen usage during a specified period usually during intense exercise, which uses large muscle groups for multiple minutes of exertion

18
Q

What are some potential consequences while focusing on flexibility?

A
  • Inability to perform physical tasks properly
  • increased risk of musculoskeletal injury
  • pain/discomfort
19
Q

What is proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

A
  • contraction of a muscle or isometric contraction with some hold or release in order to release the tension in the muscle
  • contract and release
  • almost instant range of motion improvement
20
Q

What is an active insufficiency?

A
  • when a muscle is too short to execute it performance anyone
  • overlap is too great
  • lose ability to produce force
21
Q

What is passive insufficiency?

A

Muscle gets elongated so much to a position that it is now limiting range of motion

22
Q

What is muscular fitness?

A

The ability for a muscle to generate force (strength) repetitively or for a sustained period (endurance)

23
Q

What are the subtypes of muscular fitness?

A
  • Static; dynamic
  • Eccentric; Isometric; Concentric
24
Q

What are the potential consequences of muscular fitness?

A
  • inability to perform physical tasks properly
  • inability to sustain performance of moderate to high intensity physical tasks
  • increased risk of musculoskeletal injury
  • impairment in static and/or dynamic balance
  • muscle spasms/cramping
25
Q

What are the kcal/kg/day of active, moderately active and inactive?

A

Active: 30 kcal/kg/day or more
Moderately active: 1.5 - 2.9 kcal/kg/day
Inactive: Less than 1.5kcal/kg/day

26
Q

What are the possible sliding scales for estimating exercise energy expenditure

A

Low intensity: 3-6 kcal/min
Moderate intensity: 6-9 kcal/min
Vigorous intensity: 9-12 kcal/min

27
Q

What is the Harris-Benedict Equation for men?

A

BMR= (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) - (5 x age in years) +5

28
Q

What is the Harris-Benedict Equation for women?

A

BMR= (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) - (5 x age in years) - 161

29
Q

What is resting metabolic rate?

A

How many calories your body burns at rest

30
Q

What is the thermic effect of food(TEF)?

A

The amount of energy it takes for your body to digest, absorb, and metabolism the food you eat

31
Q

What is non exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)?

A

The energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise

32
Q

What is excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)?

A

The amount of oxygen required to restore your body to its normal, resting level of metabolic function

33
Q

What are the general roles of exercise?

A
  • identify aspects of health requiring training
  • select appropriate exercises to target those aspects of health
  • determine training parameters required to elicit adaptation
34
Q

What is the normal amount of time to see changes through progressive overload?

A

4-6 weeks

35
Q

What is the main driver to see exercise results?

A

Intensity

36
Q

What are some limitations of the ACSM guidelines?

A
  • guidelines are based on a consensus of available research spanning decades
  • represent currently accepted knowledge
  • recent advances may not be widely accepted for many years
37
Q

A

Over time, previously applied stimuli no longer disrupts homeostasis
- stimuli stops showing improvements

A
  • increase training intensity
  • Utilize fewer repetitions per set
  • increase number of sets
