AFAA 5 Questions answ - 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?
How can interval training improve aerobic performance? answ - increase degree of
aerobic pattern
faster, minimizes boredom of continuous
3 Physiological adaptations that occur to improve exercise performance and
how or why improvement occurs? answ - 1. increased maximal blood flow
2. increased oxygen delivery and Carbon dioxide removal
3. increased maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power
ATP answ - energy currency of muscle
Adenosine Triphosphate
Anaerobic pathway:
fuel soruce
intensity
duration
3 examples answ - Creatine phosphate
high
brief 15-20secs
sprint jump throw lift
Lactic acid system:
fuel source
intensity
duration
3 examples answ - glucose
medium-high
45-90 secs
tennis rallies
gymnast prolonged sprints
aerobic pathway:
fuel source
intensity
duration
,3 examples answ - carbs, fat, protein
low to moderate intensity
theoretically endless until all glycogen and fat stores are used
walking, biking, running
steady state answ - oxygen uptake has reached an adequate legal to meet the oxygen
demand of tissues
EPOC
excess post oxygen consumption answ - oxygen debit referring to oxygen uptake
remaining elevated above resisting levels for several mins during exercise recovery
Oxygen deficit answ - a period in which the level of oxygen is below what is needed for
atp
anaerobic threshold answ - the point at which the body can no longer meet its demand
for oxygen and aerobic metabolism is accelerated
aerobic capacity answ - ability to remove oxygen from air and transfer it thru lungs and
blood to working muscles
lactic adid answ - by product of anaerobic metabolism of glucose or glycogen in the
muscle
stroke volume answ - the volume of blood ejected by each ventricle of the heart during
a single systole
cardiac output answ - the volume of the blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute
venous return answ - the pumping action of the muscles in the extremeties and
respirator system along with vasoconstriction to move oxygen back to the heart
blood pooling answ - condition caused by ceasing vigorous exercise too abruptly so
blood remains in the extremities and may not be delivered quickly enough to heart and
brain
vital capacity answ - the greatest volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after the
deepest inspiration
valsalva maneuver answ - holding breath agaist a closed glottis forming unequal
pressure in the chest cavity, decreasing blood flow to heart and brain
blood pressure norms answ - 120/80 normal
140/90 hypertensive
joint answ - 2/more bones articulate/meet where the movement occurs
, ligament answ - connects bone to bone
tendon answ - muscle to bone
cartilage answ - white, semi opaque fibrous connective tissue that cushions and
prevents wear on particular surfaces
Anterior/posterior answ - front/back
medial/lateral answ - toward midline/away from midline
supine/prone answ - lying face up/lying face down
superior/inferior answ - above/below
unilateral/bilateral answ - one side/ both sides
horizontal answ - makes top and bottom
sagittal answ - lakes left and right
frontal answ - makes front and back
flexion answ - bending of joint that decreases angle between bones
extension answ - increase angle between two bones, straightening of a muscle that
was previously flexed
abduction answ - movement away from midline of body
adduction answ - movement toward midline of body
rotation answ - movement around an axis-spin
circumduction answ - extremity makes a 360 degree circle
agonist and primary movers answ - primary muscles performing work
antagonist answ - muscle opposing against
assistors answ - helps perform movement
stabilizers answ - helps prevent undesired/unnecessary motions
isomertic answ - tension increases but muscle length stays the same
