PT Flashcards
Identify the principles of exercise
Regularity, progression, overload, balance, variety, Specificity, recovery
What components are considered to be skill related fitness
Speed agility muscle power Coordination balance reaction time
Warm-up
A 5 to 15 minutes. Spent preparing the body for exercise
Physiological effects of warm-up
Increased body temp, increase bloodflow, decreased muscle contraction, decreased chemical reaction time
Cool down
A 5 to 15 minute period during which activity tapers off, while heart rate and body temperature gradually return to resting levels
THR
Target heart rate, should range from 65% to 85% of the MHR
The most accurate method to determine THR is
Karvonen Method
Running
Running enables the body to improve the transport of oxygen
Lifestyle management
A personal plan for wellness
Six dimensions of wellness
Physical health, mental health, social health, emotional health, spiritual health
Physical fitness
A dynamic state of functioning that allows the individual to perform routine task without undue fatigue and demanding or emergency task in an efficient manner
Skill related fitness
Skills which are essential to enhance the performance of a specific activity or sport
Muscular endurance
The ability to exert force against a resistance over a period of time
Health-related fitness
Activities which enhance health and longevity through amp of body function and decreased risk of debilitating diseases
Muscular strength
The maximum amount of force exerted against a resistance in one effort
Body composition
The bodies relative amount of fat and lean tissue
Cardiorespiratory fitness
The ability to use large muscle groups in order to perform a strenuous activity for a sustained period of time
The four basic elements in the physical domain of life
Physical activity, nutrition, rest and healthcare
Physical activity can be
Informal or formal
Nutrition
The process of being nourished through the intake and utilization of food
Carbohydrate
The body converts carbohydrates into glucose, the bodies preferred source of energy.
Percentage of calories from carbohydrates
50 to 65%
What are the six different nutrients
Carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, water
Percentage of calories from fat
30%
Saturated fats
Found primarily in animal products should be less than 10% of total daily calories
Protein
Digested into amino acids which are used to build and repair muscles, red blood cells, hair and other tissues.
Should be 10 to 15% of daily calories
Types of protein
Complete and incomplete
Three functions of minerals
Structure and formation of bones and teeth, maintain normal heart rhythm, muscle contractility, nerve conduction and acid-base balance of body fluids.
Play a regulatory role and cellular metabolism and serve as an important parts of enzymes and hormones that modified regulate cellular activity
Two types of minerals
Major and minor
Water
A non-caloric major component of all cells in the body. Water acts as a solvent, provides the medium for transportation, participants in chemical reactions, provides lubrication and shocks protection and 18 temperature regulation in the human body
Benefits of cardiorespiratory fitness
Total blood volume increases, lung diffusion capacity increases
Hyper trophy
Muscle fiber size is increased offering greater structural and contractile strength
Risk factors that cannot be controlled
Encreasing age, gender, heredity
HDL
High density lipoprotein is referred to as the good cholesterol and start to act as a scavenger in the blood aiding in the removal of excess amounts of LDL
Positive stress
Distress
Excessive stress
Distress
Exercise physiology
An area of sports medicine that describes the functional changes that occur in the body as a result of singular or repeated exercise sessions
Physical inactivity
Primary risk factor in reducing the risk of heart disease
Physical fitness prepares the body
For a lifetime of activity that can be performed more efficiently and effectively by physically capable body
By learning how the various body systems responded normally to exercise fitness coordinators are prepared to prescribe the right?
Activity in the proper amount, as well as recognize and abnormal response and stop the activity should it be necessary
Cardiac output
The amount of blood ejected from the Heart per minute, at rest is 4to 6 Liters per minute and dramatically increases during exercise.
Stroke volume
During exercise can increase to almost twice the amount at rest
Endurance conditioning increases the stroke I am at rest and maximum work making it the primary factor for increased cardiac output and oxygen transport system
