Cards

Term
Energy
Definition
The ability to do work
Term
ATP
Definition
Adenosine Triphosphate:Intracellular carrier of chemical energy produced by the body for muscular work
Term
Aerobic
Definition
means literally with no oxygen, or in the presence of oxygen
Term
Anaerobic
Definition
Requiring no oxygen, usually short spurt high energy activities
Term
Steady State
Definition
After the first 3-4 mins of excercise, oxygen uptake has reached an adequate level to meet the oxygen demand of the tissues; heart rate, cardiac output and pulmonary ventilation have attained fairly constat levels
Term
Excess post-oxygen consumption (EPOC)
Definition
traditionally known as oxygen debt, refers to oxygen uptake remaining elevated above resting levels for several mins during excersize recovery
Term
Oxygen Deficit
Definition
A period in which the level of oxygen consumption is below what is necessary to supply appropriate ATP production required of any excersize
Term
Anaerobic Threshold
Definition
The point at which the body can no longer meet its demand for oxygen and anaerobic metabolism is accelerated
Term
Aerobic Capacity
Definition
The ability of the body to remove oxygen from the air and transfer it through the lungs and blood to the workin muscles
Term
Lactic Acid
Definition
The by product of anerobic metabolism of glucose or glycogen in muscles
Term
Stroke Volume
Definition
The volume of blood ejected by each ventricle of the heart during a single systole
Term
Cardiac Output
Definition
The volume of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute
Term
Venous Return
Definition
The "pumping action" of the muscles in the extremities and respiratory system along with venocostriction to move oxygen-poor blood back to the heart
Term
Blood pooling
Definition
A condition caused by a ceasing vigorous excersize too abruptly so that blood remains in the extremities and may not be delivered quickly enough to the heart and brain
Term
Vital Capacity
Definition
The greatest volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after the deepest inspiration
Term
Valsalva Maneuver
Definition
A dangerous condition that can occur if an individual holds his/her breath, causing the glottic to close and stomach muslces to contract, forming an unequal pressure in the chest cavity, reduced blood flow to the heart and insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. Dizziness and temporary loss of conscienceness may occue.
Term
Joints
Definition
the point at which two or more bones meet or articulate and where movement occurs
Term
Ligament
Definition
Bands or sheet like fibrous tissue that connect bone to bone and reinforce joints from dislocation; nonelastic and limited range of motion
Term
Tendon
Definition
Band of dense fibrous tissue forming the termination of a muscle and attaching muscle to bone with a minimum of elasticity
Term
Cartilage
Definition
White, semi-opaque fibrous connective tissue; cushions and prevents wear on articular surfaces
Term
Flexion
Definition
Bending of a jointbetween two bones that decreases the angle between the two bones
Term
Extension
Definition
A motion of increasing the angle between two bones; straightening of a muscle previously bent in flexion
Term
Abduction
Definition
Movement away from the midline of the body
Term
Adduction
Definition
Movement toward the midline of the body
Term
Rotation
Definition
Movement around an axis
Term
Circumduction
Definition
Movement in which the extremity describes a 360 degree circle
Term
Agonist
Definition
A muscle that is a prime mover, directly responsible for a particular action
Term
Antagonist
Definition
A muscle that acts in opposition to the action produced by a prime mover
Term
Assistors
Definition
Muscles that help to preform the same task
Term
Blood Pressure Norms
Definition
average 120/80
Term
Anterior/posterior
Definition
to the front/to the back
Term
Medial/Lateral
Definition
toward the midline/away from the midline
Term
supine/prone
Definition
lying face up/face down
Term
superior/inferior
Definition
upper half of body/lower half of body
Term
unilateral/bilateral
Definition
affects one side of the body/both sides
Term
Fast Twitch Fibers
Definition
able to generate quick high intensity contractions
Term
slow twitch
Definition
prolonged submaximal aerobic activities and are slow to fatigue
Term
Six classes of nutrients
Definition
water, carbs, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals
Term
what are vitamins
Definition
non caloric, organic compounds needed in small quantities to assist in growth, maintenance and repair
Term
fat soluble vitamins
Definition
A D E K are stored in the body
Term
water soluble vitamins
Definition
not stored in the body
Term
Acute and Chronic Injury
Definition
Acute- has sudden onset sharp pain but short duration
Chronic- injury last a long period of time
Term
Muscle strain
Muscle sprain
Definition
strain- over time/overuse over time-tendons
sprain-sudden injury/direct trauma-ligaments
Term
First Aid- RICE
Definition
Rest Ice Compression Elevation
Term
FITT
Definition
Frequency Intensity Time Type
Term
Principal of Overload
Definition
to achieve optimal results the body must be overloaded beyond its norma level or present capacities
Term
principal of progression
Definition
for continued improvements an excersize program should provide gradual increases in frequency, intensity, duration and or mode of excersize
Term
Specificity of Training Principal SAID
Definition
specific adaptations to imposed demands
Term
Reversibility Principal
Definition
use it or loose it/ as little as two weeks
Term
Principal of Overtraining
Definition
the body needs time to recover, can also occur when intensity or training volume is too high.
Term
Signs of Overtraining
Definition
RHR, Irritability, injuries, insomnia, increase in sickness/colds, fatigue, anemia, constant muscle/joint soreness
Term
Par-Q
Definition
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
Term
a group excersize class should usually be taught at what level
Definition
intermediate
Term
musical phrase
Definition
32 counts
Term
EIA
Definition
Excersize Induced Asthma
extended warm up, gradually increase intensity, avoid excersize in extreme cold
Term
AFAA 5 Questions
Definition
1. what is the purpose of this exercise?
2. are you doing that effectively?
3. does the exercise create any safety concerns?
4. can you maintain proper alignment and form for the duration of the exercise?
5.for whom is the exercise appropriate or inappropriate?
Term
stabilization
Definition
occurs by means of a static contraction of a muscle(s) that anchors or supports the movement,maintaining a stable position, so that movement of other primary muscle (s) can be performed
Term
Isometric Contraction
Definition
tension increases but muscle length remains the same
Term
isotonic contraction
Definition
tension remains constant while the muscle shortens or lengthens
Term
Isokinetic
Definition
contraction in which the tension developed by the muscle while shortening at constant speed is maximal over the full range of motion
Term
eccentric contraction
Definition
muscle lengthens while contracting, developing tension as when the muscles oppose the force of gravity
Term
concentric contraction
Definition
muscle shortens as positive work is done against gravity eg. lifting weights
