List 8 health benefits associated with regular participation in physical activity. - answer-Lower risk of coronary heart disease, lower risk of high blood pressure, lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, lower risk of breast cancer, reduced depression, improved cardiorespiraratory & muscular fitness, lower risk of colon cancer, prevention of weight gain. How can interval training improve aerobic performance? - answer-Maximizes aerobic power and minimizes boredom. List 3 physiological adaptations that occur to improve exercise performance and state how or why improvements occurs. - answer-1. Increased maximal blood flow - Performing aerobic exercise forces large volumes of blood which increases stroke volume.
An anaerobic pathway consists of: - answer-ATP-CP - phosphagen system. Fuel source = CHEMICAL creatine phosphate. Intensity = very high. Duration = very short 1 to15 seconds. Activities = sprinting, jumping, throwing, kicking, lifting heavy weights. An anaerobic pathway also consist of - answer-LACTIC ACID SYSTEM Fuel source = GLUCOSE carbohydrate only. Intensity = high, moderate. Duration = short, medium 45-90 seconds. Activities = prolonged sprints, soccer, basketball, hockey, swimming, cycling. aerobic pathway consists of: - answer-AEROBIC SYSTEM Fuel source = Carbohydrates, fat, protein. Intensity = moderate, low.
Aerobic - Can utilize carbs, fats, or proteins as fuel. Anaerobic - Can only use carbs as fuel. Aerobic - Long-duration of activity. Anaerobic - Short-duration of activity. Aerobic - Smaller EPOC. Anaerobic - Greater EPOC. Aerobic - Sub maximal, work moderate intensity. Anaerobic - Maximal work,,high intensity. Aerobic - Carbon dioxide and water are end products. Anaerobic - Lactic acid is the by-product. Aerobic - Uses oxygen in chemical breakdown. Anaerobic - Doesn't need Oxigen in chemical breakdown. What is the term for Stroke volume - answer-Volume of blood ejected by each ventricle of the heart during a single systole. What is the term for Cardiac output - answer-Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute. What is the term for Venous return - answer-Pumping action of the muscles in extremities and respiratory system along with venoconstriction to move oxygen blood back to the heart.
What is the term for Blood pooling - answer-Condition caused by ceasing vigorous exercise too abruptly so that blood remains in the extremities and may not be delivered quickly enough to the heart and brain. What is the term for Vital capacity - answer-Greatest volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after the deepest inspiration. What is the term for Valsalva maneuver - answer-Dangerous condition that can occur if an individual holds their breath forming an unequal pressure in the brain. Dizziness, temporary loss of consciousness may occur. What are blood pressure norms for a healthy person? - answer-Resting Blood Pressure for healthy person averages about 120 - 80. High Blood Pressure is considered 140 - 90+ What is the anatomical term for Joint - answer-The point at which two or more bones meet and movement occurs: synovial, non-synovial. What is the anatomical term for Ligament - answer-Bands or sheet-like fibrous tissues connecting bone-to-bone and reinforces joints from dislocation, non-elastic, limited ROM. What is the anatomical term for Tendon - answer-Band of dense fibrous tissues forming the termination of a muscle and attaching muscle to the bone with minimum elasticity. What is the anatomical term for Cartilage - answer-White, semi-opague fiborous connective tissue; cushions and prevents wear on articular surfaces. Describe the following anatomical terms. - answer-Anterior. Front. Posterior. Back of body. Medial. Midline of body. Lateral. Head to trunk.
Circumduction. Movement in which an extremity describes a 360 degree circle. Agonist - answer-Muscle that is a prime mover, directly responsible for a particular action. Antagonist - answer-Muscle that acts in opposition to the action. Primary movers - answer-Muscles that perform movement. Assistors - answer-Muscle that help perform the same task. Stabilizers - answer-Muscle that contracts with no significant movement to maintain posture or fixate a joint. Define the following muscular contractions: - answer-Isometric. Tension increases, but muscle length remains the same. Concentric. Muscle shortens as positive work is done against gravity. Eccentric. Muscle fibers lengthen through range of motion. Isotonic. Tension remains constant as muscle shortens and lengthens. Isokinetic. Movements where muscles shorten at a constant rate. can't be done with or without specialized equipment.
Which 3 of the muscle contractions are used in a group exercise setting? - answer-1. Concentric. shortening phase. at a joint.
List a minimum of 8 dietary guidelines for Americans outlined by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. - answer-1. Consume variety of nutrient dense food/beverages among food groups, limit saturated fat/transfat, sugars, salts, and alcohol.
b) Chondromalacia. Overuse injury affecting articular cartilage of posterior surface, or patella. Most often occurs in the knee cap. c) Achilles tendonitis. Inflammation of connective tissue that joins muscle to bone. Most often occurs in achilles tendon. What is the difference between a muscle strain and a muscle sprain? - answer-Strain. Overstretching or tearing of muscle or tendon. Sprain. Tearing or overstretching of ligament. List 3 ways to prevent injuries to vocal nodules. - answer-Use microphone. Non verbal cueing. gestures. Relaxation. keep head, neck, jaw tension-free. Pitch. speak without effort. Posture. speak while in position. Projection. speak out not up or down. Environment. music at a moderate volume. List 3 ways to prevent low-back pain. - answer-Proper position. Exercise selection. Attention to knees and spine. List 3 ways to prevent shin splints. - answer-Proper footwear. Quality flooring. Safe technique.
Describe Principle of Progression. - answer-Exercise program should provide gradual increases or progressions in frequency/intensity/time/type. Specificity of Training Principle SAID stands for what? Describe. - answer-Specific Adapt to Imposed Demands Body will adapt to type of physiological stresses placed on it. In order to improve in certain areas, area must be rehearsed. Describe Reversibility Principle. - answer-If workload is decreased, detraining in performance will occur. Describe Principle of Overtraining. - answer-Body needs time to recover and muscloskeletal system needs time to rebuild without sufficient rest, overtraining occurs. List the health-related components of physical fitness. - answer-Cardiorespiratory fitness. Muscular strength and endurance. Flexibility. Body composition.
