Rehab 2 Vocab

Question 1

ATP-PC

Answer 1

Anaerobic energy system in which ATP is manufactured when phosphocreatine is broken down

Question 2

Aerobic

Answer 2

Submaximal, rhythmic repetitive exercise of large muscle groups, during which the needed energy is supplied by inspired oxygen

Question 3

Anaerobic

Answer 3

Exercise that occurs without the presence of inspired oxygen

Question 4

Concentric

Answer 4

Overall shortening of the muscle occurs as it generates tension and contracts against resistance

Question 5

Eccentric

Answer 5

Overall lengthening of the muscle occurs as it develops tension and contracts to control motion against the resistance of an outside force; negative work is done

Question 6

Active resisted

Answer 6

A type of stretching exercise in which there is reflex inhibition and subsequent elongation of the contractile elements of muscles

Question 7

Closed chain

Answer 7

Exercise in which the distal end of the segment is fixed to a supporting surface as the trunk ad proximal segments move over the fixed part.

Question 8

Manual resistance exercises

Answer 8

Type of active exercise in which resistance is provided by a therapist or other health professional to a dynamic or a static muscular contraction

Question 9

DOMS

Answer 9

Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness; Exercise-induced muscle tenderness or stiffness that occurs 24 to 48 hours after vigorous exercise

Question 10

Plyometrics

Answer 10

“Explosive-reactive” power trainingHigh-intensity, high-velocity resistance exercise characterized by a resisted eccentric muscle contraction and designed to increase muscular power and coordination; also known as stretch-shortening drills

Question 11

Endurance

Answer 11

Ability to resist fatigue

Question 12

Fitness

Answer 12

(General, total body) Diminished response of a person during prolonged physical activity, such as walking or jogging, tha may be due to a decrease in blood sugar (glucose) levels, decrease in glycogen stores in muscle and liver, or depletion of potassium, especially in the elderly

Question 13

VO2 MAX

Answer 13

Maximal Aerobic Power/ Max VO2; Maximum volume of oxygen consumed per unit of time

Question 14

Deconditioning

Answer 14

Change that takes place in cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and metabolic functions as a result of prolonged bed rest or inactivity

Question 15

Efficiency

Answer 15

Ratio of work output to work input

Question 16

Stress Testing

Answer 16

Multistage test that determines the cardiovascular functional capacity of the individual

Question 17

Overload principle

Answer 17

Stressing the body or parts of the body to levels above that normally experienced

Question 18

Specificity Principle

Answer 18

Principle underlying the development of a training program for a specifc activity or skill and the primary energy systems involved during performance

Question 19

Exercise Duration

Answer 19

Total number of days, weeks, or months during which an exercise program is performed

Question 20

Exercise Frequency

Answer 20

Number of times exercise is performed within a day or within a week

Question 21

PRE

Answer 21

Progressive Resistance Exercise; Approach to exercise whereby the load or resistance to the muscle is applied by some mechanical means and is quantitatively and progressively increased over time
