Week 2 Flashcards
Lecture 2:
Define Physical Activity
Any bodily movement produced by contraction of skeletal muscles that causes an increase in caloric requirements compared to resting energy expenditure
Lecture 2:
What are some examples of Physical Activity?
- Going for a walk
- Going up the stairs (unless purposely working out)
- Landscaping/construction jobs
- Vacuuming/household tasks
Lecture 2:
What are a few characteristics of Physical Activity?
- heart rate elevated
- counts towards minutes/week
- not done to “improve” physical fitness level
Lecture 2:
Define Exercise
Type of PA consisting of planned, structured, & repetitive bodily movements done to improve/maintain 1+ components of physical fitness
Lecture 2:
What are some examples of Exercise?
Sports, lifting weights, & running on a treadmill
Lecture 2:
Define Physical Fitness
Set of attributes/characteristics that we have that relate to ability to perform PA & daily activities
Lecture 2:
What are the 5 main components of fitness?
1.) Flexibility
2.) Muscular Fitness (strength, power, & endurance)
3.) Cardiovascular Fitness (aerobic/cardiorespiratory fitness)
4.) Neuromotor (coordination, balance, & agility)
5.) Body Composition (muscle mass vs fat-free mass)
Lecture 2:
What is the Dose-Response relationship?
A little is good, more is better, but up to a certain point
- strong evidence suggests a dose-response for decreasing premature death
Lecture 2:
For adults (18-64), what are the 24hr movement guidelines for Physical Activity?
Moderate to vigorous aerobic activity for 150mins per week
Lecture 2:
For adults (18-64), what are the 24hr movement guidelines for Sleep?
7-9hrs of good quality sleep
Lecture 2:
For adults (18-64), what are the 24hr movement guidelines for Sedentary Behaviour?
Less than 8hrs of sedentary time
- no more than 3hrs recreational screen time
- break up long periods of sitting as frequently as possible
Lecture 2:
What are 6 reasons why we would assess a client’s physical fitness level?
1.) collect baseline data
2.) educate client
3.) assist with developing exercise prescription
4.) evaluate (final outcomes)
5.) motivate
6.) set goals
Lecture 2:
What are the 5 components that make up a Physical Fitness Assessment?
1.) Pre-test instructions - what to bring/what to wear
2.) Assessment/testing environment - temperature, after, calibrated equipment, etc
3.) Consent & screening - use medical clearance algorithm
4.) Pre-exercise evaluation - questionnaires, CVD risk
5.) Physical Fitness Testing - assess all 5 components even if only wanting to improve 1 as it accounts for any imbalances
Lecture 2:
What is the correct Fitness testing order?
1.) Consent & Screening forms
2.) Resting Measurements (HR, BP, weight, height, body composition)
3.) Cardiorespiratory Fitness Testing
4.) Muscular Fitness (can change order with 3&4)
5.) Flexibility
6.) Neuromotor
Lecture 2:
What are 3 things a fitness test must have?
1.) Validity
2.) Reliability
3.) Objectivity
Lecture 2:
What is Validity?
test measures what it is supposed to
*high coefficient (r) = .8 to 1.0
Lecture 2:
What is Reliability?
Test scores consistent results
- same results every time you do the test
- high coefficient (r) = .9 to 1.0
Lecture 2:
What is Objectivity?
Equally competent testers obtain similar results
- different people measuring gives same outcome
- high coefficient (r) = .9 to 1.0
Lecture 2:
Can reliability effect Validity?
yes, if you are getting different results each time you do the test, this means that the test may not be accurately measuring what its supposed to be
Lab 2:
Based on the US BP Classifications, what is a normal BP rating?
<120mmHg SBP & <80mmHg DBP
Lab 2:
Based on the US BP Classifications, what is an elevated BP rating?
120-129mmHg SBP & <80mmHg DBP
Lab 2:
Based on the US BP Classifications, what is a Stage 1 Hypertension BP rating?
130-139mmHg SBP or 80-89mmHg DBP
Lab 2:
Based on the Canadian BP Classifications of Hypertension, what is the Office (non-AOBP) automated level?
Greater than or equal to 140/90
*Non-AOBP = someone is taking it
Lab 2:
Based on the Canadian BP Classifications of Hypertension, what is the Office (AOBP) automated level?
Greater than 135/85
*if a machine is measuring the BP
