PT responsibilities Flashcards
Exercise physiology
Study of cellular reactions within body during and after exercise
Benefits of HRM
Improved performance Improved efficiency Increased motivation Increased knowledge Adaptability Accountability Objective assessment Objective training
General Adaptation Syndrome
GAT
Adaptation due to stress out on body
Role of PFT
Assess
Design
Instruct
Overload
When stress of exercise causes the body to increase efforts more than normally accustomed to
Optimum training
After body has had enough time to recover from original bout of exercise the work capacity increases to a level greater than the original
Overtraining
When stress is too intense or there isn’t insufficient recovery time work capacity goes down
Detaining
Time between exercises too long leading to decreased performance
Nervous system
The bodies of means of receiving and responding to events in the internal and next turtle environment. It is the command center of the body and first to adapt to exercise
2 parts of Nervous system
Central NS- composed of brain and spinal
Cord
Peripheral NS- lies outside of CNS and includes sensory and motor division
2 parts of Peripheral NS
Sensory division- informs CNS of stimuli
Motor division- initiates muscular and glandular response
Somatic NS
Creates movement via motor neurons to muscles
Autonomic Nervous System
Controls involuntary functions of the body like heart rate and blood pressure
Two parts of the autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic NS- fight or flight (increased bp)
Parasympathetic NS- rest and digest (bp goes down)
Muscular system
Specialized cells of the body with contractile ability in order to create movement
Skeletal system
Creates basic structure of the body getting framework and is the sight of blood cell formation
All are nothing of Skeletal muscle
If muscle contracts it will contract on whole length of muscle. You can’t train part of a muscle
Circulatory system
Transport system of the body including cardiovascular and lymphatic system
Respiratory system
Brings in oxygen and excretes carbon dioxide and water
Gastrointestinal system
Converts consumed food into smaller molecules for body use and excretes the rest
Integumentary system
Covers the body and provides protection
Urinary system
Creates stores and eliminates urine
Reproductive system
Sex organs for development of offspring
Endocrine system
Communication system of the body it produces hormones that signal change in the body
