Typical Resting Heart Rate - ✔✔60-80 bpm
Resting Heart Rate - ✔✔- typical is 60-80 ppm
- women resting HR is aprox: 10 beats higher than men of same fitness level
- children have higher HR's than adults
- older adults have lower HR's
Why is a lower resting heart rate good? - ✔✔The heart of a fit person has increased SV requiring less
bpm to achieve a given Q.
Cardiac Output - ✔✔- The volume of blood ejected by the ventricles per minute.
- HR+SV= Q (cardiac output)
-Typical resting Q for adults is 4-5L/min
-Will be higher in more fit individuals
Radial Pulse - ✔✔later side of the wrist
Brachial Pulse - ✔✔medial side of the upper arm, slightly above the elbow
Carotid Pulse - ✔✔side of the neck
Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) - ✔✔Linear relationship btwn SBP and intensity
Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) - ✔✔Remains unchanged or slightly decreases during exercise.
Newton's 3 Laws of MOtion - ✔✔1. Law of inertia
, 2. Law of acceleration
3.Law of reaction
Law of Inertia - ✔✔A body will remain in its present state of rest or motion unless acted upon by
unbalanced external forces.
Law of Acceleration - ✔✔The change n motion of a body is proportional to and in the same direction as
the applied force, but inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
Law of Reaction - ✔✔Wehn we apply a force to another body, that body applies an equal force back
onto us.
Flexion - ✔✔Decrease in joint angle. Typically rotates in the sagittal plane.
Examples of Flexion - ✔✔- Shoulder joint- upward movement during a front raise.
- Elbow joint - upward movement during bicep curl.
- Hip joint - descent during a squat.
- Knee joint - descent during a squat.
Extension - ✔✔Increase in joint angle. Typically rotates in the sagittal plane.
Extension Examples - ✔✔- Shoulder - downward movement during a front raise
- Elbow - downward movement during biceps curl
- Hip and Knee - ascent during a squat
Abduction - ✔✔Movement away from midline of the body. Rotates in the frontal or transverse planes.
Abduction Examples - ✔✔- Shoulder - upward movement of the bar during lat pulldown
