PRACTICE SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ Carotid pulse.
Answer: measured on the neck; not a preferred method to use on clients.
⩥ Resting heart rate (RHR).
Answer: heart rate when the body is not physically active.Average RHR
for a: male =70 bpm; female =75 bpm. Typical adult RHR range=
between 70 and 80 bpm.
⩥ Systolic.
Answer: pressure within the arteries after the heart contracts.
healthy=less than 120 mmHg
⩥ Diastolic.
Answer: pressure within the arteries when the heart is resting and
fillingwith blood.
healthy= less than 80 mmHg
⩥ Kinetic chain checkpoints.
Answer: foot and ankle, knee, LPHC, shoulders,andhead and cervical
spine.
,⩥ Cholesterol.
Answer: blood lipid associated with cardiovascular disease and obesity
⩥ HDL.
Answer: high-density lipoprotein, aka "good cholesterol."
⩥ LDL.
Answer: low-density lipoprotein, aka "bad cholesterol."
⩥ less than 200 mg/dL..
Answer: Healthy total cholesterol level=?
⩥ Overweight.
Answer: a person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9, or is 25-30lbs over
recommended weight for height.
⩥ Obesity.
Answer: a person with a BMI of 30 or greater, or is at least 30lbs over
recommended weight for height.
⩥ Skin-fold measurements.
,Answer: - uses caliper to measure subcutaneous fat.
- 4 sites: biceps (vertical fold), triceps (vertical fold), subscapular (45°
fold), iliac crest (45° fold). All on the right side of the body
- Durnin-Wormsely formula
⩥ Durnin-Wormsely formula.
Answer: add totalof measurements and compare tothe solutions table in
the textbookto determine body fat percentage.
⩥ Fat mass=.
Answer: body fat % × scale weight.
⩥ Lean body mass=.
Answer: scale weight-fat mass.
⩥ Bioelectrical impedance.
Answer: conducts electrical current through the body to estimate fat
content.
⩥ Underwater weighing.
Answer: used in exercise physiology labs; lean mass sinks, fat mass
floats;dry weight compared to underwater weight.
, ⩥ Circumference measurements.
Answer: assess girth changes in the body; not accurate estimate of
fatness.
- Measure at the neck, chest, waist, hips, calves, and biceps.
⩥ Waist-to-hip ratio.
Answer: divide the waist circumference measurement by the hip
measurement.
- Ratios greater than 0.80 for women and 0.95 for men increases risk for
a number of diseases.
⩥ Body mass index (BMI).
Answer: a person's weight compared to his/her height.
- Not designed to assess body fat.
- Risk of chronic disease increases with a BMI of 25 or greater.
⩥ Davies test.
Answer: assesses upper extremity stability and agility.
⩥ Shark skill test.
Answer: assesses lower extremity agility and neuromuscular control.
⩥ Bench press test.
