ACE HEALTH COACH - CHAPTER 16
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of variables associated with an elevated risk of
coronary heart disease and diabetes.
Risk factors are characteristics, hereditary traits, or behaviors that are associated
with the existence or development of a condition or disease.
Dyslipidemia is characterized by abnormal blood lipid levels.
Visceral adiposity - ANSWER Excess fat placed deep into the belly that covers key
organs
Adipose - ANSWER Fat cells are stored in fatty tissues in the body.
Interleukin-6 is a pro-inflammatory molecule that increases cortisol levels.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is a pro-inflammatory protein that has a role in acute
systemic inflammation.
C reactive protein is a pro-inflammatory molecule that increases in the blood when
the body is inflamed.
Cardiometabolic disease is a condition that increases a person's chance of
developing heart disease and diabetes.
High blood pressure, lipids, fasting plasma glucose, C-reactive protein, and low
levels of HDL
Posture is the arrangement of the body's limbs.
Flexion is the act of moving a joint to bring the two bones that are developing
closer together.
, Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a condition caused by aging or the
development of post-traumatic arthritis.
Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis characterized by the buildup of fatty
material on the inside walls of the arteries, causing them to stiffen, thicken, and
lose flexibility.
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a large band of connective
tissue that runs along the sole, produced by stretching or ripping the tissue,
generally at the heel attachment.
Cartilage is a smooth, semi-opaque substance that absorbs shock and decreases
friction between the bones of a joint.
Ground reaction force is the force exerted by the ground on a body that comes into
touch with it.
ANSWER Flexibility is the ability to move joints through their normal range of
motion.
Balance is the ability to maintain the body's position over its base of support, both
statically and dynamically.
Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert force
against resistance over time.
ANSWER Muscular strength is the maximum force that a muscle or muscular
group can exert during contraction.
Progression - ANSWER A systematic procedure for applying overload. Resistance
training involves adding more resistance to progress the training stimuli.
Anaerobic - Without the presence of oxygen.
ANSWER Muscular power and speed of movement.
