Q

MET :

A

MET is a ratio of your working metabolic rate relative to your resting metabolic rate. Metabolic rate is the rate of energy expended per unit of time. It’s one way to describe the intensity of an exercise or activity.

One MET is the energy you spend sitting at rest — your resting or basal metabolic rate. So, an activity with a MET value of 4 means you’re exerting four times the energy than you would if you were sitting still.

states that as adaptation
of the muscle or muscles to a stimulus are made,
an increased stimulus is required for further
improvement. The overload principle is the idea
that each workout should place a progressively

Q

the phases of periodization?

A

microphases, mesophases and macrophases.
Microphases are up to seven days and one should
occur at least every four weeks. Mesophases
are anywhere from two weeks to a few months.
Four to six mesophases should occur in a year.
The more mesophases that a
training period includes, the
more effective the training
program will be. Macrophase refers to the whole training program and usually consists
of a year

Q

two forms of overtraining:

A

Sympathetic: overtraining syndrome is common in sprint-type sports and is characterized by an elevated resting heart rate.

Parasympathetic overtraining: generally occurs in endurance sports. It is characterized by a decreased resting heart rate and a lowered heart rate for a given workload.
It may result in hypoglycemia while exercising

33
Q

Hypoglycemia:

A

is a condition in which your blood sugar (glucose) level is lower than the standard range

34
Q

PAR-Q

A

Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

35
Q

How is exercise intensity measured?

A

By the amount of oxygen consumed during
exercise and the number of calories burned

36
Q

Smart progression involves :

A

the progression from a
lower intensity level to a higher intensity level,
longer duration, and/or increased frequency
of the exercise session.

37
Q

EPOC:

A

the excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). The
body’s metabolism is elevated after exercise since fat burning is often greater following exercise. The higher
the intensity of the exercise, the greater the magnitude of EPOC. Splitting the training sessions into intervals also enhances the effects of EPOC.

38
Q

What is the best choice of conditioning to optimize
aerobic benefits?

A

interval training

39
Q

speed play:

A

there are increases in cardiovascular efforts and then an adequate recovery period follows. In terms
of recovery, anaerobic conditioning is usually performed at the expense of lactic acid buildup in the muscles and blood. The length of time to recover depends on the effort to recovery ratio used in training, usually 3:1

40
Q

Health and fitness interval training:

A

is more structured than speed play. It can be performed
using the aerobic and anaerobic model. The
effort in this interval usually has a 1:1 effort to
recovery ratio. Usually more advanced

41
Q

neuromuscular aspect of muscular strength:

A

which involves the motor units of the nerves and the muscles they innervate. Motor units are important because they allow movement and relaying of messages to the central nervous system to produce the desired movement

42
Q

Which is faster to lose, cardiovascular or muscular strength/endurance?

A

Cardio is faster to lose. Muscular strength is also easier to maintain with less frequent sessions needed.

43
Q

general adaptation syndrome:

A

describes the process your body goes through when you are exposed to any kind of stress, positive or negative. It has three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion

The body’s need to adapt in order to maintain proper homeostasis

44
Q

3 stages of the body in response to stress

A

1) alarm reaction, and it begins when the body is initially put under stress it must respond to, such as lifting weight
or resistance training. In order to respond, the body needs more oxygen to produce more strength so that it can keep up with the demand.

2)s resistance development, when the body is quite efficient at recruiting muscle fibers needed to lift a load and distribute oxygen efficiently to the needed areas. At this time, resistance training can feel like a “breeze,” so something needs to change to prevent a loss of hypertrophy in the muscles.

3)exhaustion, which the personal trainer should strive to avoid.

45
Q

3 types of specificity:

A

mechanical, neuromuscular and
metabolic

46
Q

Mechanical specificity:

A

involves the movements made to accommodate the specific load. Each muscle group, from the legs to the
arms to the chest, has differing mechanical specificities.

47
Q

Neuromuscular specificity :

A

has to do with the intensity of the contraction being elicited by the specific movement. The stronger the contraction, the more motor units need to be recruited.

48
Q

metabolic specificity, :

A

which has to do with the amount of energy required
to sustain each workout and how that energy is utilized. It is important to understand that most resistance training uses anaerobic respiration to obtain its metabolic needs

49
Q

Flexibility:

A

is the extent to which a joint passes
through a normal range of motion comfortably

50
Q

FIDM stands for:

A

frequency, intensity, duration and mode, all of which are
important factors to remember when preparing flexibility programs for clients.

51
Q

Davis’s law:

A

, which proposes that soft tissue rebuilds itself along
the lines of stress. The soft tissue is rebuilt with inelastic
collagen, usually inconsistent with the direction of muscle
fibers. This tissue can later prevent the muscle fibers
from elongating properly and results in reduced flexibility

52
Q

arthokinetic dysfunction:

A

Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint

53
Q

Osteoarthritis damages the:

A

cartilage of bones overtime,

54
Q

rheumatoid arthritis:

A

while the immune system tears down joint surfaces

55
Q

Balance is affected by three major principles:

A

center of gravity, base support, and the
relationship between center of gravity and base
support

56
Q

static balance:

A

It is the ability to maintain central balance, or equilibrium, while balancing on one foot. Static balance is essential for activities that require prolonged periods of static positioning

57
Q

peripheral balance:

A

The ability to balance and reach away from the center of gravity is called peripheral balance. This is usually
accomplished with reaching some part of the body, such as the arms, legs or torso, while maintaining equilibrium.

58
Q

dynamic balance

A

dynamic balance is the ability to maintain balance while in motion. While in motion, the body gains feedback
through visual stimuli, kinesthetic awareness and changes made by the nervous system. Even standing still is an exercise in dynamic balance since the body is constantly
swaying to all sides and balance is maintained through alternate contraction and relaxation of the leg muscles.

59
Q

3 levels of balance training

A

stability > strength > power

60
Q

romberg test:

A

a client stands with the feet together and eyes closed.
The loss of balance is then checked. For a more
difficult test, a client conducts this test while standing on only one leg, which is referred to as a stork stand

61
Q

functional reach test

A

a client rests one fist on a wall while leaning as far forward
Patients can balance on one foot on a wobble board to
enhance dynamic ankle stability for training or ankle
sprain rehabilitationas possible. The client then moves the fist along the wall as far as possible without taking a step
or off-balancing, and the distance that the fist moved is measured. A movement of less than six inches means that there is a lack of balance and thus a higher risk of falling

62
Q

two major types of muscular coordination:

A

intramuscular coordination and intermuscular
coordination.

63
Q

Intramuscular coordination:

A

intramuscular refers to how muscles work together within the body with the nervous system

64
Q

Intermuscular coordination:

A

is the ability of the neuromuscular system to allow muscles to work together. Muscles of the core-movement
system (e.g., hamstrings, adductors) must work synergistically with the stabilization system to ensure optimal coordination.

65
Q

Proprioception is:

A

the ability to transmit position sense,
interpret sensory information and
respond to it, all in order to execute conscious
or unconscious movement.

66
Q

cutaneous receptors:

A

Receptors within the skin are known as cutaneous receptors and are either considered fast-adapting receptors or slowadapting receptors.
- Fast-adapting receptors are responsible for vibration sense and sudden changes in speed and movement.
-Slow-adapting receptors are responsible for sensory perceptions like skin stretching as well as joint and limb position.

67
Q

The major receptors of the muscles are:

A

golgi tendons and muscle spindles.used to detect
tension within the muscles. These receptors respond to muscle contraction, which can then result in muscle relaxation. Muscle spindles respond to the stretch of a muscle and then act to contract it

68
Q

pronation

A

downward movement

69
Q

supination

A

upward movement

70
Q

MMT

A

Manual Muscle Test - which is used to determine the
capability of muscles or groups of muscles to provide support and movement

71
Q

3 modes of muscle strength:

A

isometric,
isokinetic and
isotonic mode

72
Q

Isometric muscle mode:

A

Contraction against a fixed, immovable object

73
Q

isokinetic:

A

exercising with a constant resistance and a fixed speed. It can also be simply defined as “constant speed”. Isokinetic techniques test joint movement rather than a specific muscle group

74
Q

isotonic:

A

are carried out against a constant
or even variable force to lengthen or shorten
muscles through a specific range of motion.

75
Q

sensorimotor system

A

The combination of the sensory and motor system

76
Q

two major categories of proprioceptors are :

A

-muscle cells, which are located in the belly of the muscle, and the tendon cells, which are located in the area where muscle fibers attach to tendon tissue.
-Muscle cells relay information directly to the spinal cord from muscle fibers.
-Tendon cells monitor the amount of tension in muscle cells that builds during stretching and contracting

77
Q

3 levels of motor control:

A

1)a fast, reflex response at the spinal cord level, necessary for protective reflexive joint stabilization and the prevention of injuries in the skeletal system.
2) involves the lower parts of the brain (e.g., brain stem). This part of the brain processes higher commands and is involved in the timing of motor activities, learning of planned movement and control of prolonged and repetitive movements.
3) processing at the cerebral level controls voluntary motion.

78
Q

3 Groups of propioceptors:

A

1) ligament, joint and skin proprioceptors;

2) neck and inner ear proprioceptors;

3)muscle proprioceptors
