Q

What are non-modifiable health determinants?

A

Non-modifiable health determinants are the determinants that cannot be changes or altered. The only factors that might be seen as non-modifiable determinants of health are GENETICS or hereditary and some environmental factors.

Q

How do the determinants influence health throughout life stages?

A
  • The level of influence that the various determinants have on our health will not always be the same. At different times in our lives certain determinants may have a greater or lesser influence on our health status and health decisions.
    For babies and young children, their families and determinants related to them such as geographic location and socioeconomic circumstances are likely to have the greatest influence on health.
    o As we become older and start interacting with others beyond our immediate family, other sociocultural influences such as the media can start to have a significant influence on our health.

Q

describe stroke

A

A stroke is a sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain. Most strokes are caused by an abrupt blockage of arteries leading to the brain (ischemic stroke). Other strokes are caused by bleeding into brain tissue when a blood vessel bursts (haemorrhagic stroke).

70
Q

What is blood pressure

A

a measure of health and fitness, and measures the pressure exerted by the blood onto the artery walls.

Consists of systolicpressure and your diastolicpressure.Systolic is the blood pressure in the arteries during acontraction of the heart, while diastolic is the blood pressure during the relaxation and filling of the heart.

71
Q

Blood pressure during exercise

A

During exercise, your ventricles contract more forcefully. This causes an increase in systolic pressure during exercise, which continues to increase according to the intensity of the workload.
However, your diastolic pressure decreases because your arterial walls dilate (relax) to allow a greater flow of blood.

72
Q

Movement efficiency

A

Relates to energy expenditure
the less energy expended during the execution of a sport skill, the moreefficientis themovement (uses the minimum amount of energy whilst exercising)

73
Q

motivations and barriers in completing exercise

A
  • access to facilities
  • convenience of use
  • cost
  • feelings about fitness and exercise
  • exercise as a priority
  • influence of other responsibilities, eg family, work
74
Q

Movement efficiency in relation to the heart muscle

A

if the heart is stronger it us more efficient which results in a decreased RHR, but most importantly the strength of the left ventricle is greatly improved resulting in an increased SV- if SV is increased (the amount of blood pumped out the LV per beat),this ill improve movement efficiency as more blood is delivered to cells in order for energy production, there is also an improvement in venous return (CO2 return of blood to the heart) in order for the waste product to be exhaled by the lungs.

75
Q

what does RHS stand for?

A

77
Q

examples of reorient health services

A

For example new mobile laws have been introduced to try decrease statistics related to accidents where a phone has been the cause. At this stage as it is such a new law, there are no factual statistics related to mobile phone use, however overall the amount of MVA are decreasing especially amongst 17-24 yr olds.

118
Q

c/f heart rate

A

Heart rate is the number of times your heart beats in a minute.

119
Q

how does heart rate respond to training

A

Heart rate responds to training by increasing from the resting value and is often used to set or determine the intensity of the training session.

120
Q

r/ship heart rate

A

In netball, your heart rate increases due to the nature of the game, the game is an aerobic and anaerobic sport. In the game we need to take in more o2 as the muscles require more o2 for atp production and the removal of co2. The heart delivers this o2 to the cells for atp production as well as taking the co2 away and delivering it to the lungs for the player to exhale. The heart rate will differ depending on the intensity the athlete performs at in netball.

121
Q

c/f ventilation rate

A

Ventilation rate is a measure of how many breaths a person takes per minute and is also known as the respiratory rate.

122
Q

how does ventilation rate respond to training

A

An athlete’s ventilation rate will have an immediate increase in response to training.

123
Q

r/ship ventilation rate

A

The increase in ventilation rate is directly related to the intensity of a netball game or training. The more intense level the athlete performs at, the higher the ventilation rate. The o2 is taken into the lungs and then transferred into the blood and taken to the heart and vice versa. The co2 is taken out of the blood into the lung and is exhaled by the player.

124
Q

c/f cardiac output

A

amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle in a minute

125
Q

how does cardiac ouput respond to training

A

increases

126
Q

r/ship cardiac output

A

Like other athletes, for a netballer, their cardiac output increases due to a large increase in heart rate and small increase of stroke volume. But it primarily increases due to the calculation of hrxsv. If the athlete’s hr and sv both increase immediately during exercise, it would mean the co will also increase.

127
Q

c/f lactate levels

A

Lactate levels refers to the amount of lactate and/or lactic acid in your blood. Lactic acid is produced by the lactic energy system and is quickly converted to lactate before being transported to your liver where it is converted to glucose.

128
Q

how does lactate levels respond to exercise

A

An elite netballer’s lactate levels will increase in line with the intensity of the game. The more energy the athletes makes using the lactic acid energy system, the more the athletes lactate levels will increase

129
Q

nature of CVD / heart disease

A

the buildup of fatty deposits upon the walls of the arteries surrounding the heart. This action of build up causes the arteries to narrow, then restricting the blood flow towards the heart muscle, the process can be identified as atherosclerosis.
