what is an EAP? - Answer -plan for accessing the emergency medial system and
transportation for athlete/injured victims
PPEs - Answer -pre participation physical examinations
FERPA - Answer -family education rights and privacy act
HIPPA - Answer -health insurance portability and accountability act
epidemiology - Answer -scientific study of factors affecting the health and illness of
individuals and populations
Health insurance - Answer -- covers illness, hospitalization and emergency care
Accident insurance - Answer -unexpected events, protect against financial loss from
medical and hospital bills
catastrophic insurance - Answer -variable, but usually covers long term
or permanent disability due to participation in sport
primary insurance - Answer -the first source of payment for charges
secondary - Answer -used as a source of payment for charges that the primary policy
does not cover
risk management - Answer -prevention, safety and the response to potentially negative
situations that do occur
liability - Answer -state of being legally responsible for the harm one caused another
person
tort - Answer -and intentional legal wrong
,negligence - Answer -failure to exercise care toward others which a reasonably prudent
person would do in the same circumstances
- typically unintentional
sovereign immunity - Answer -neither the government of any individual who is
employed by the government can be held liable for negligence
Good samaritan Law - Answer -provides limited protection against liability for voluntary
first aid provided by a first responder
NSCA - Answer -national strength and conditional accociation
warm up - Answer -10-15 minutes of light cardiovascular activity, break a sweat
cool down - Answer -enables the body to cool and return to resting state, often ignored
SAID principle - Answer -Specific Adaptations to Increased Demands
Mode - Answer -method of exercise
Frequency - Answer -# of sessions per week
duration - Answer -length of session
Intensity - Answer -difficulty of exercise
atrophy - Answer -decrease in size
hypertrophy - Answer -increase in size
Isomentric - Answer -NO joint movement, equal length, muscle contracts and
generates tension
Isotonic - Answer -Resistance to movement is constant, Speed of movement is
variable.
isokinetic - Answer -resistance to movement is variable, speed of movement is
constant
concentric contraction - Answer -muscle shortens as it generates tension
eccentric contraction - Answer -muscle lengthens as it generates tension
smooth muscles - Answer -found in major organs, cannot be contracted voluntarily
- intestines
, cardiac muscles - Answer -found in the heart,
skeletal - Answer -found in muscles of the extremities, head, spine, and trunk
slow twitch - Answer -aerobic, good for long duration, low intensity, endurance activities
fast twitch - Answer -anaerobic (do not use lots of oxygen) good for short duration high
intensity activity
PRE - Answer -progressive resistance exercise
PRE - Answer -repetitions, max reps, one rep max, set, intensity, recovery, frequency
plyometric exercise - Answer -rapid stretch of a muscles quickly followed by an
explosive concentric contraction
ballistic stretch - Answer -involves repeated, short duration, high speed stretches in a
bounding fashion
static stretch - Answer -involves low load, slow, long duration stretches = sage
dynamic stretch - Answer -technique of choice, mimics activities athletes engage in
conduction - Answer -heat transfer via direct physical contact between 2 objects
convection - Answer -heat transfer via circulating medium
radiation - Answer -heat transfer from radiant energy
factors predisposing to heat illness - Answer -age (very old, very young), obesity, poor
acclimation, previous heat illness
heat rash - Answer -benign condition, red rash, occurs under clothed/padded areas
heat syncope - Answer -fainting due to heat, dilation of superficial vessels caused
decreased blood pressure.
heat cramps - Answer -cramping of peripheral muscles
heat exhaustion - Answer -indicates start of body having difficulty balancing heat gain
and loss.
sign and symptoms of heat exhaustion - Answer -fatigue, light headedness,
disorientation, dizziness, headache, cool clammy skin, weak rapid pulse, profuse
sweating,
