Questions and CORRECT Answers
maximal testing - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- might require physician supervision
participants reach max effort
diagnostic stress test, bruce test protocol, cooper 12 min max field test, 1.5 mile max test
submaximal testing - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- do not require max effort
each has a predetermined end point
used to estimate cardiovascular fitness
cycle ergometer test, TM test, 3 min step test
order of fitness assessments - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- medical history, risk stratification,
informed consent
Resting HR, bp, weight, height, BMI, body comp
Cardiovascular testing
Muscular strength & Endurance
flexibility testing
acute injury - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a recent traumatic injury
ex. ankle sprain, pulled quad
chronic injury - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- non-traumatic injury of an ongoing nature
ex. tennis elbow, runner's knee
anaerobic energy production - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- w/o oxygen
fuels intense, short duration activities
,aerobic energy production - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- w/ oxygen
long duration, low intensity
primary means of energy production
tendonitis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- inflammation of the tendons
tendinosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- small tears in the tendons, chronic
target heart rate (THR) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- the # of times per min. the heart must
contract to produce a cardiorespiratory training effect
anterior - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- front of the body
posterior - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- back of the body
superficial - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- located close to or on the body surface
deep - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- located below the surface
proximal - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- closer to any reference point
distal - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- farther from any reference point
superior - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- toward the head; higher
inferior - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- away from the head; lower
medial - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- toward the midline of the body
,lateral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- away from the midline of the body
ipsilateral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- on the same side
contralateral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- on the opposite side
unilateral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- one side
bilateral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- both sides
prone - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- lying face down
supine - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- lying face up
valgus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- distal segment of a joint deviates laterally
varus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- distal segment of the joint deviates medially
sagittal plane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- divides body/structure into right and left sides; 1/2
portrait
frontal plane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- divides the body into anterior and posterior; front
and back
transverse plane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- divides the body into superior and inferior
portions; cut across at hips
center of gravity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- theoretical point where the weight force of the
object can be considered to act
, when a person is in neutral position, approx. at the second sacral segment
line of gravity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- the body's imaginary vertical line passing
through center of gravity; consider when describing posture abnormalities
flexion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- movement resulting in decrease of the joint angle,
usually moving anteriorly in the sagittal plane
extension - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- movement resulting in an increase of the joint angle,
usually moving posteriorly in the sagittal plane
abduction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- movement away from the midline, usually in frontal
plane
adduction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- movement toward the midline, usually in frontal
plane
inversion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- adducting the ankle
eversion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- abducting of the ankle
dorisflexion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- flexing ankle so the foot moves anteriorly in
sagittal plane
plantarflexion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- extending the ankle
ex. pointing toe
internal rotation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- rotation in the transverse plane toward midline
of the body
