Cards

Term
Glycolytic energy system
Definition
Glycolysis 11 seconds to two minutes.
Term
Phosphagen system
Definition
ATP only 1-10 seconds for max contraction (sprinting)
Term
Oxidative energy system
Definition
breaks down body stores of carbs, fats, and protein to make ATP- more than 2 minutes
Term
Factors responsible for health: 4 things
Definition
Lifestyle: 53%
Environment: 21%
Genetics: 16%
Health Care: 10%
Term
Periodization
Definition
systematic variation of the training stimulus is essential for enhancing levels of fitness
Term
How many times should someone exercise per week?
Definition
No more than 5 days for greatest benefit for least time unless athlete
Term
How many types of strength training are there?
Definition
Isometric, isokinetic, isotonic, variable resistance
Term
Isometric
Definition
Muscle contraction without joint movement
Term
Isokinetic:
Definition
controls equate rate (speed) of movement allowing person to control force exerted at each part of movement- helpful in rehab after injury to avoid re-injury
Term
variable resistance:
Definition
resistance changes as mechanical advantage changes
Term
isotonic
Definition
resistance (weight) being lifted remains constant yet force applied varies due to mechanics of joint and muscles
Term
Recommendations
Definition
One set of 8-12 reps (1 set may be as effective as 3 sets for beginners)

2-3 days per week with rest of at least 1-2 days between

no longer than 90 minutes (too often and too intense can tear down muscle)

Major muscle groups legs, back, abdominals, chest, shoulders, arms

Vary workout regiment every 2-3 weeks

DO NOT hold breath more than 2 seconds
Term
rom
Definition
range of motion
Term
types of flexibility: 4
Definition
static: hold stretched position

dynamic: ability to move slowly and rhythmically

ballistic: ability to move through ROM with bobbing, bouncing

Laxity and hypermobility: refer to greater than normal, or excessive ROM in joints
Term
Function of Golgi tendon organ
Definition
designed to protect you from stretching too far by contracting the muscles being over stretched
Term
What can increase flexibility over 20%?
Definition
Warming up muscles and connective tissue properly through mild activity
Term
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
Definition
uses agonist and antagonist muscle interaction to provide decreased resistance from antagonistic muscle and increased ROM partner assistance with experience required
Term
How do you determined your ideal body composition?
Definition
Bod Pod, hydrostatic weighing, or skinfold measurements

***NOT BMI
Term
6 Food groups
Definition
Grain, Meat/Bean, Vegetables, Fruit, Milk, Oils
Term
Essential calories
Definition
the calories needed to meet nutrient requirements when consuming foods in lea, low-fat, and no-added sugar forms
Term
discretionary calories
Definition
total estimated energy requirement- essential calories
Term
Can essential nutrients be produced by body?
Definition
No. If you don't' eat them, you won't get them.
Term
Max cholesterol intake
Definition
200grams per DL
Term
ideal body fat %
Definition
15-35% Women

Definition
alarm
resistance
exhaustion
Term
physiological effects of sleep deprivation
Definition
weakened immune system
impaired glucose tolerance
increase in adipose tissue and decline in active tissue
hormonal imbalances
Term
5 stages of sleep

80 % of human growth hormone is released during stage 3 and four of sleep
Definition

Term
sources for finding evidence to critique health advertisements
Definition
