Thoracic Vertebrae
Larger than the cervical and have locations for attachment of the ribs on either side. (T1-T12)
BORG’s Scale
Exertion Scale 1-10.
Is an RPE Scale.
1-3: Recovery (Very easy, Somewhat easy, Easy)
50, 60, 65 % HR
4-6: Aerobic (Somewhat difficult, Difficult)
70, 75, 79.
7-10 Anaerobic (Very difficult, Very, very difficult, Maximal Effort)

Golgi Tendon Organs (GTO)
Monitor the amount of force at the muscle-tendon site. If the tension (force) is too high and potentially dangerous, the GTO’s cause a reflexive muscle relaxation to reduce the force.
Eg: if you pick up a weight that is too heavy and you try to perform a bicep curl, the GTO’s will sense danger and cause you to drop the weight.
***Senses tension of a stretch, it’s found specifically in tendons, and it is part of the inverse myotatic stretch reflex.
Muscle Spindle
A sensory structure located in the muscle fibers. Sense the velocity of a stretch. If the rate of stretch of a muscle is too rapid, the muscle spindles will cause a reflexive contraction to reduce the rate (velocity) of stretch.
***Senses velocity of stretch, is found specifically in muscles, and is part of the Myotatic stretch reflex.
Cervical Vertebrae
permits nodding and rotation of the skull (C1-C7)
SAID Principle
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand
Lumbar Vertebrae
Most massive and least mobile. Designed for attachment of large muscles and weight-bearing. (L1-L5)
Calculating BMI
Quick Method:
BMI = {(Weight - pounds)/(Height - inches^2)} x 703
Metric method:
BMI = (Weight -kg)/ Height - metres ^ 2)
