Kines Exam 3: Certifications, Motor
Behavior, and Epidemiology
3 subdisciplines of motor behavior - ANS--motor learning
-motor control
-motor development
6 Principles of Motor Behavior - ANS--motor learning principles
-principle 1: correct practice improves performance and supports learning
-principle 2: augmented feedback enhances practice (and thereby learning)
-motor control principles
-principle 3: the brain uses the central nervous system to initiate and control the
muscles that make the desired movements
-principle 4: movements should rely on the decision-making centers in the brain as little
as possible once the movement is initiated
-motor development principles
-principle 5: children are NOT miniature adults
-principle 6: children are more alike than they are different
ACE - ANS-American Council on Exercise
ACSM - ANS-American College of Sports Medicine
Any Activity Counts!! - ANS--no lower threshold for benefits from physical activity
Benefits of Physical Activity for Adults and Older Adults - ANS--lower risk of all-cause
mortality
-lower risk of fall-related injuries (older adults)
-improved cognition
-reduced risk of dementia (including Alzheimer's disease)
-lower risk of cancers of the bladder, breast, colon, endometrium, esophagus, kidney,
lung
-improved quality of life
-bone health
, Certification Content - ANS--don't need to know all different certifications and
requirements
-need to understand the focus of major organizations
-they cost money so can't sit at every certification possible
-watch if certifications are reputable
-many require a bachelors in kines or other health/sport degree
Children-to-Children Similarities - ANS--changes occur across the lifespan in an orderly
fashion (rates may vary)
Coaching - ANS--coach online or in person, typically sport specific training
-can work with any demographic
Common National Surveys - ANS--National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey:
combines interviews and physical examinations and asks about 5,000 people
-Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System: telephone surveys that ask about 450,000
people
Consequences of an Inactive Population - ANS--physical inactivity is recognized as a
global pandemic that requires global action
-physical inactivity accounts for: $117 billion (US) in annual health care costs
and 10% of premature mortality
Current ACE Certifications - ANS--health coach
-personal trainer
-group fitness instructor
-medical exercise specialist
Current ACSM Certifications (name 3) - ANS--registered clinical exercise physiologist
(RCEP)
-certified clinical exercise physiologist (CEP)
-certified exercise physiologist (lowest level certification) (EP-C)
-certified personal trainer (CPT)
-group exercise instructor (GEI)
-ACSM/ACS Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer (CET)
-ACSM/NCHPAD Certified Inclusive Fitness Trainer (CIFT)
Current Guidelines for Adults - ANS--at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic
activity a week AND
-at least 2 days of muscle-strength activity a week
