,◉Wolff's Law. Answer: A bone grows or remodels in response to
forces or demands placed upon it
◉specificity principle. Answer: standard which states that gradual
increase of a physical demand on the body will improve fitness
◉Archimedes' Principle. Answer: the buoyant force on an object is
equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
◉The TRX Rip Trainer should be most beneficial to which of the
following phases of the OPT model?. Answer: Phases 1, 2, and 5
◉What are the primary levels of the OPT model. Answer:
Stabilization, Strength, Power
◉What does the electron transport chain do?. Answer: uses the
high-energy electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to convert
ADP into ATP
◉maintenance stage. Answer: has been consistently exercising for 6
months or more-less tempted to stop-continues indefinitely
◉action stage. Answer: has been exercising for up to 6 months
,◉contemplation stage. Answer: stage of change in which people are
considering changing behavior in the next 6 months but have taken
no steps to start
◉precontemplation stage. Answer: stage of change in which people
have made no changes or plans to change
◉preparation stage. Answer: stage of change in which people are
getting ready to make a change within the next month
◉To quantify body compositional (fat mass loss) changes (A Fitness
assessment measure). Answer: Body composition measurement
◉Core stability is defined as. Answer: The ability to maintain
position stabilizing spine while extremities are moving
◉Arthokinematics. Answer: joint motion (unseen)
3 major types: roll, slide, spin
◉Osteokinematics. Answer: movement of bones around a joint axis
(visible)
, ◉Biomechanics. Answer: The science concerned with the internal
and external forces acting on the human body and the effects
produced by these forces.
◉Kinesiology. Answer: study of movement
◉type 1 osteoporosis. Answer: "primary" caused by normal
aging/lower estrogen & progesterone- following menopause
◉type 2 osteoporosis. Answer: "secondary" due to medical
condition/alcohol abuse or smoking
◉Training Frequency. Answer: The number of training sessions
performed during a specified period (usually 1 week)
◉Training Intensity. Answer: An individual's level of effort,
compared with their maximal effort, which is usually expressed as a
percentage.
◉Training Volume. Answer: The sum of the (reps x sets) x resistance
used.
