What is body composition?
% of fat, muscle, bone, and water
What is body composition important for?
Indicator of health
What are common body composition tests used in a PT setting?
BMI
Skinfold
Waist/hip
Bioelectrical impedance
What is the primary purpose of pre participation screening?
Detect conditions that may limit participation, lead to injury, or may be life threatening
What is the secondary purpose of pre participation screening?
Legal obligations
General health and development
Entry point to health system
Health promotion
What components should be included in the pre participation screening?
Vitals
History
MS screening
General medical
Injury prevention tests
Sport performance tests
Unrestricted
Start to play
Contingent
Need further evaluation (clearing) due to specific injury or pathology
Modified
Limited in the sports they can participate in (no contact)
No participation
Unable to participate in any sport (very rare)
What is sudden cardiac death?
Electrical disturbance in the heart causing arrest or arrhythmia with or without external trauma
How does sudden cardiac death occur?
Without warning but may have prodromal sign
How fast can death occur in sudden cardiac death?
Less than an hour
What are some prodromal signs of sudden cardiac death?
Fatigue
Chest pain
Dyspnea
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Overgrowth of the heart muscle causing abnormal pumping
Myocarditis
Inflammation of the myocardium caused by virus, Dyspnea, tachycardia, fatigue
Coronary artery anomalies
Abnormal artery compression during exercise limiting blood flow back to the heart
What are early signs of coronary artery anomalies?
Chest pain
Fatigue
Syncope
Commotio cordis
Normal heart, ventricular arrhythmia due to a blow to the heart (younger age)
At what time period does neural adaptations stop being the primary source of strength gains?
10 weeks
What are some neural adaptations to anaerobic exercise?
Increase CNS neural drive
Increase number of motor units
Faster nerve firing rates
Improved neural coordination
Decrease antagonist coactivation
What type of fiber will be activated first?
Type 1
What type of fiber will fatigue first?
Type 2x
How do you test 1 RM?
Warm up
Practice trials (50%, 75%, 90% or 1 RM)
Testing trials (3-5 min rest between trials)
Good form (no exercise for 24hrs)
What are types of anaerobic tests?
Strength
Power
Muscular endurance
Anaerobic capacity
Balance/stability
What should the duration of a single bout of an anaerobic exercise (sprint) be to improve phosphagen and glycolysis energy systems?
30 seconds
Which strength test assesses maximal force at a constant speed?
Isokinetic
What type of test is a 1RM?
Isotonic
