Normal reaction to avoid injury
,Structure of the heart - CORRECT ANSWERS Hollow, muscular organ
that pumps a circulation of blood through the body by means of rhytmic
contraction. Positioned in thoracic cavity, lying anteriorly(in front) to the spine
and posteriorly(behind) the sternum.

Healthy Diastolic and Systolic pressure ranges - CORRECT ANSWERS
120/80 or less than 120 systolic and less than 80 diastolic
Davis Law - CORRECT ANSWERS soft tissue models along the lines of
stress
Sliding Filament theory - CORRECT ANSWERS a sarcomere shortens
as a result of the Z lines moving closer together 2. the Z lines converge as the
result of myosin heads attaching to the actin filament and asynchronously
pulling (power strokes) the actin filament across the myosin, resulting in
shortening of the muscle fiber.
saggital plane of motion - CORRECT ANSWERS split the body to left
and right sides
,frontal - CORRECT ANSWERS split the body front and back halfs
transverse - CORRECT ANSWERS split the body the top and bottom
halves
exercises in the saggital plane of motion - CORRECT ANSWERS bicep
curls, Leg Extensions and Leg Curls. Leg extensions and leg curls target your
quadriceps and hamstrings, respectively. ...
Front Dumbbell Raises. ...
Crunches. ...
Barbell Biceps Curls.
exercises in the frontal plane of motion - CORRECT ANSWERS side
lunge, lateral dumbbell raise, ice skater
exercises in the transverse plane of motion - CORRECT ANSWERS
rotation, wood-chop throw, medicine ball rotation chest pass
Hydrogen concepts for water and sports drinks - CORRECT ANSWERS
consume 3L of water a day. That's 13 cups. Consume sports drink if
longer than 60 minutes of exercise. 8% carbs. 16-24 fl oz for every pound of
body weight lost after exercise.
best ways to achieve weight loss through nutritional concepts - CORRECT
ANSWERS Small decreases in food and beverage calories and increase
physical activity.
Distribute protein, carbs, and fat throughout day.
Consume less than 10% of cals from saturated fat.
, Choose whole grains and fiber rich fruits and veggies over refined grains and
simple sugars.
Limit alcohol.
Schedule no fewer than four and as many as six meals a day.
Avoid empty calories and highly processed foods.
Drink plenty of water(minimum 9 to 13 cups a day)
Have clients weigh and measure food at least 1 week. Make them more aware
of caloric values and serving sizes.
Recommended macronutrient percentages - CORRECT ANSWERS
Protein: 10-35%
Fat: 20-35%
Carbohydrate: 45-65%
best time to consume macronutrients during activity - CORRECT ANSWERS
6 and 10g/kg/day of carbs is recommended. 45 to 65% of total caloric
intake. Complex carbs constitute majority of calories.
Before exercise consume high carb meal 2 to 4 hours. Glycogen stores are
lowered by as much as 80% in the mornings.
Endurance athletes consume between 30 and 60g of carbs every hour to
maintain blood glucose levels.
calories per gram in each macronutrient - CORRECT ANSWERS carbs-
4 calories/gram
fats- 9 calories/gram
protein- 4 calories/gram
what should you eat 2 hours before a workout to ensure you have enough
glycogen stored - CORRECT ANSWERS a baked potato
