Study Guide

ischemia - lack of blood flow sacrum - bone formed from five vertebrae fused together near the base of the spinal column coccyx - 3 to 5 vertebrae fused to form the tailbone below the sacrum Bulimia nervosa - an eating disorder characterized by episodes of overeating, followed by vomiting, laxative use, fasting or excessive exercise lean body mass - elements of the body excluding fat: structural and functional elements in cells, water, muscle, bones and other organs Carbohydrate - What macronutrient should be 45-65% of your daily diet? Safety cue - lets clients know about a potential injury risk and how it can be minimized iliopsoas - inner hip flexors and involved in lateral thigh rotation (supination) important for standing, walking and running maintenance - behavior change stage that sustains long term ongoing consciousness of the new behavior and successful integration of into the lifestyle triglycerides - main type of fat found in the diet an in adipose tissue. Desirable serum levels are under 150 mg/dl glycemic load - calculated by multiplying the grams of carbohydrates by the glycemic index. Accounts for how much carbohydrate is in the food and how much each gram of carbohydrate in the food raises blood glucose levels muscle stability -

ability of a muscle or muscle group to stabilize a joint and maintain its position without movement. (to perform a sustained isometric contraction) prehypertension - systolic= 120-139 mmHG; diastolic= 80-89 mmHG nutrient dense - foods that are very nutritious relative to the number of calories ankle inversion - supination, arch lifts active stretching - static or ballistic, performed unassisted using the concentric contraction of the opposing muscles anterior medial deltoids - opposing muscles of the latissimus dorsi contusion - bruising from a direct blow, resulting in capillary rupture, bleeding and inflammatioin abdominals - opposing muscles of the erector spinae adhesions - abnormal adherance of collagen fibers to surrounding tissues during immobilization or after an injury, resulting in a loss of normal elasticity sedentary lifestyle - not participating in at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity 3x/week metacarpals - 5 bones in each hand numbered 1-5, medial to lateral health risk factor - any factor that increases the chance that an individual will develop a disease or condition medical history form - helps identify individuals at risk for cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, musculoskeletal or other potential problems concentric training - exerting more force against a muscle than is placed on, resulting in it's shortening disadvantages of submax test -

Krebs cycle - The 2nd component of aerobic metabolism in which acetyl CoA formed in the first component enters into the citric acid cycle motor neurons - send messages from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles causing a neuromuscular response olympic lifting - Specific and highly technical lifts used to develop power (snatch, clean and jerk, push press) aerobic energy system - virtually unlimited capacity for making ATP, uses carb, fat, and protein for fuel. Slow to produce ATP. sliding filament theory - widely accepted theory of muscle shortening during contraction where thick & thin filaments slide past one another adenosine triphosphate - ADP with an added phosphate group., An organic compound containing adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups; of prime importance for energy transfer in cells.
