"Health promotion goes beyond health care. It puts health on the agenda of policy
makers in all sectors and at all levels, directing them to be aware of the health
consequences of their decisions and to accept their responsibilities for health."
Considering this quote from the Charter and the prerequisites for health, one could
make a reasonable statement that "good housing policy is good health policy". -
Answers - true
(incorrect - i said The data from pre-shift are consistent with the Inverted-U hypothesis
and
These data suggest a greater risk of medical errors during long "on-call" shifts.)
The image below is the result of a survey that asks about how a person feels in 6
different domains listed along the x-axis. These are real data from medical doctors. The
lines marked as 'pre' (solid) and 'post' (dashed) represent results of the survey before
and after a 24-hour shift of being on-call (assume significant sleep loss). These data
were collected to improve performance of staff based on 1) reducing medical errors and
2) improving doctor-patient interactions. Select the items below that correctly interpret
the results. - Answers - - The data from pre-shift are consistent with the Inverted-U
hypothesis (no)
- The pattern of change resembles that seen with overtraining in athletes
- These are the results of the PANAS psychometric test.
- These data suggest a greater risk of medical errors during long "on-call" shifts. (no)
A bundle of muscle fibers (muscle cells) contained within a sheath of connective tissue
is called - Answers - a fascicle
A field hockey player has a concussion. After a few weeks of recovery, her balance and
reaction time are still not good. Select two subdisciplines below that are most likely to
provide useful information about this problem. - Answers - athletic training
,motor behavior
A frequent observation in research on resistance exercise training is that people get
stronger before the muscle system has had time to adapt. What physiological system
contributes to the rapid strength gains? - Answers - nervous system
A key adaptation to aerobic training is improved stroke volume, or the amount of blood
pumped from the heart per contraction. What physiological system is being improved? -
Answers - cardiovascular
A knowledge of geography can be quite relevant in health sciences. You might also
benefit from an elective in entymology (the study of insects). Look at Africa in the image
below.
Why is there a clear horizontal line above which the origin of sickle cell disease ends
(the area colored orange)?
What do you know about North Africa? Hint: look up a map of the Sahara desert. Also
consider the definition of a vector (from the CDC): Some mosquitoes can be vectors. A
vector is an animal, insect, or tick that spreads pathogens (germs) to people and
animals. The germs (viruses and parasites) that mosquitoes spread can make you sick.
What else do we know? Some mosquitoes like living near people, while others prefer
forests, marshes, or tall grasses. All mosquitoes like water because mosquito larvae
and pupaeLinks to an external site. live in the water with little or no flow. - Answers -
Mosquito poulations in the Sahara desert are quite low because of the dry climate.
Therefore, there was no slective pressure of malaria causing people from the northern
part of Africa (Saharan) to keep the sickle cell gene.
A myocardial infarction (heart attack) can be caused by a blockage of blood flow to the
heart muscle. - Answers - true
A researcher designs a study to test the hypothesis reaction time is slower in older
adults. Reaction time is measured in two groups, adults between 20 and 30 years of
age and adults over 70 years of age. What is the dependent measure? - Answers -
reaction time
A researcher designs a study to test the hypothesis reaction time is slower in older
adults. Reaction time is measured in two groups, adults between 20 and 30 years of
age and adults over 70 years of age. What terms describe this study? More than one
option might be correct. - Answers - cross sectional
motor behavior / motor control
observational

, A researcher wants to compare the effects of two different training programs on Achilles
tendon thickness. One training program uses standard calf raise exercises and the
other program uses something called plyometric training, which involves a lot of
jumping. The dependent variable is... - Answers - achilles tendon thickness

A sport psychologist examined your POMS results over the course of a competitive
season. A flattening of the profile would indicate ... - Answers - staleness / overtraining
a step has two strides in it - Answers - false
A wide receiver on the UD football team comes down head first to the ground after
making a catch. The lead athletic trainer suspects a potential concussion and is worried
about damage (ex. a fracture) to his cervical spine. What are the two main physiological
systems his injuries are concerning? - Answers - nervous and skeletal
According to the Ottawa Charter
Health is seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. - Answers -
true
According to the Yerkes-Dodson Law (the inverted U), high levels of arousal indicate a
problem with anxiety - Answers - false
According to which of Newton's Laws do we understand that when a person steps on a
force platform, the measurements represent the force of the earth on the person's
body? - Answers - law of action-reaction
After 6 weeks of running 1 mile per day, my resting heart rate has decreased. Which is
the best statement to describe this change? - Answers - This is a chronic adaptation to
exercise that may be related to an increased stroke volume
After your evaluation of scientific evidence, what statement are you able to make to the
field hockey player about their performance? - Answers - It is known that the allergy
medication you are taking has a negative effect on your information processing ability
and reaction time. I would like you to see your primary care physician to discuss a
possble prescription that does not come with these side effects.
