answers
Preliminary Health Screening✔✔Determine client readiness, health, protect
ourselves.
1. PAR Q
2. Informed Consent
3. Exercise Patterns
4. Disease S&S medical history
5. CVD risk factors
6. Determine medical clearance
Informed consent includes✔✔procedures, risks, benefits, confidentiality, voluntary
participation
Test Selection Criteria✔✔1.Metabolic Energy System Specificity
2.Biomechanical Movement Pattern Specificity
3.Experience and Training Status
4. Age and Sex
Test Battery Sequences✔✔Anaerobic to aerobic
1. non fatiguing tests
2. agility tests
3. max power/strength tests
4. sprint test
5. local muscular endurance test
6. fatiguing anaerobic capacity test
7. aerobic capacity test
What % meet aerobic and strength guidelines?✔✔20% meet both
50% meet one or the other
Dose-Response Relationship✔✔More is better
Aerobic recommendations for adults✔✔>=150 MPA/wk or >=75 VPA/wk
Strength training >= 2 days a week
MET✔✔metabolic equivalent, 1 MET energy cost at rest
Accreditation vs certification vs licensure✔✔Accreditation: The process of standards
setting and compliance measurement for systems, orgs or institutions.
Certification: Implies the measurement of competency for individuals. Certification
and Accreditation are referred to as credentialing activities. ACSM - EP NSCA-CSC
ACE_CPT
Licensure: programs administered by government agencies
, You can stop the test at any time for any reason✔✔Make client comfortable and
reassured you know what you are doing
Preliminary health screening✔✔do they need medical clearance
Cardiovascular risk factors ACSM✔✔not apart of medical clearance
Resting Heart rate✔✔60-100 bpm
Blood pressure categories✔✔Normal: <120/80 mmHg
Prehypertension: 120-139/80-89 mmHg
High blood pressure: >140/90 mmHg
Components of fitness✔✔cardiorespiratory
musculoskeletal
body composition
flexibility
balance
Validity in tests✔✔does the test measure what it is supposed to measure
- energy system and biomechanical specificity, training experience, age and gender
Reliability in tests✔✔is the test consistent and stable across trials
the skill of the tester is among the important things
Body composition assessment✔✔good to measure variety of reasons; health and
athletics being the main
two component model: fat and FFM
Hydrostatic weighing✔✔gold standard, based of body density
- requires space and equipment, time consuming
-depth knowledge
lab method
air displacement plethysmography✔✔bodpod, also finds body density
adv: do not need to get wet, not difficult, short
dis: very expensive
lab method
DEXA✔✔x-ray, great for bone mineral content
- tech training by state
lab method
Skinfold✔✔can estimate BF % because of relationship with body density, not time
consuming, inexpensive
- dis: bad tech skill, type of caliper, client factors
Sites for men: chest, abdomen, thigh
