CSEP-CPT Written Exam
Skeletal Muscle Classifications - ✔️✔️location, origin, insertion, shape, size, direction
and function
Sliding filament model - ✔️✔️
Behaviour Change Theories - ✔️✔️Social Cognitive theory (SCT)
Self-determination theory (SDT)
Trans-Theoretical model(TTM)
Theory of planned behaviour (TPB)
Health action process approach (HAPA)
Self-Efficacy - ✔️✔️One's belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations - a
concept imbedded in most behaviour change models
Four Sources of Self-Efficacy - ✔️✔️Mastery Experience: successful experiences
boost self-efficacy, while failure erodes it.
Vicarious Experience: Observing peers succeed at a task can strengthen belief in one's
own abilities
Social Persuasion: Credible communication and feedback can guide someone through
a task or motivate them to make their best effort
Health Determinants - ✔️✔️Income and social status
Employment and working conditions
Education
Physical environment
Health Services
Gender
Social support networks
Light Intensity Physical Activity - ✔️✔️>1.5 (10PT SCALE)
>3METS
Moderate Intensity Physical Activity - ✔️✔️4-6 (10pt scale)
3-6METS
Moderate to Vigorous Intensity Physical Activity (MVPA) - ✔️✔️>3METS
*This level of physical activity is usually what the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines
recommends in order to achieve health benefits
, Vigorous-intensity physical activity - ✔️✔️7-8(10pt scale)
>6METS
METS - ✔️✔️Metabolic equivalent
1MET= 3.5mlO2/kg/min
Sedentary behaviour - ✔️✔️Any activity characterized by an energy expenditure of
</=1.5METS
Common sedentary behaviours include: watching tv, video gaming, computer use,
driving, reading, etc.
Potential Consequences of Sedentary Behaviour - ✔️✔️>risk of type 2 diabetes
>risk of coronary heart disease
>risk of premature mortality
>risk of infavourable body composition
>risk of high blood glucose level
<fitness
<self-esteem
<academic achievement
Health Related Fitness - ✔️✔️Components of fitness that exhibit a relationship with
health status (i.e., aerobic, musculoskeletal and functional fitness).
Ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with
ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and to meet unforeseen emergencies.
Performance-Related Fitness - ✔️✔️Physical training for a specific task like a
recreational sport or a physically demanding job
Can be different than training for general health and fitness as it may include agility,
speed, power and motor skill performance.
Example: training to achieve a target time for a 10km run or interested in pursuing a
physically demanding job
Coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast and colon cancers, and shortens life
expectancy - ✔️✔️Physical inactivity increases the risk of these major chronic
conditions
Benefits of Physical Activity - ✔️✔️>physical and mental health
>quality of life
>well-being
>aerobic and MSK fitness
>body composition
>sleep
