Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is a series of measurements to help determine the current health and fitness level of clients? | Fitness Assessment |
A pre participation health screening contains two items . . . they are? | A medical history like the PAR-Q, and a review of their chronic disease risk factors and presence of any signs or symptoms of disease. |
Why is knowing about a persons occupation relevant? | 1. know about energy expenditure, 2. common movement patterns, 3. extended periods of sitting, 4. repetitive movements |
What puts the ankle complex in a plantar flexed position for extended periods which can lead to tightness in the gastrocnemius, soleus and Achilles tendon? | wearing high heels |
What are the main areas of interest when surveying a client? | Medical History, Lifestyle, and a general health history |
What are used in the treatment of various psychiatric and emotional disorders? | Antidepressants |
What are used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure? | Vasodilators |
What are generally prescribed to correct or prevent bronchial smooth muscle constriction in individuals with asthma and other pulmonary diseases? | Bronchodilators |
What are generally prescribed for hypertension, congestive heart failure, and peripheral edema? | Diuretics |
What are generally prescribed for hypertension, congestive heart failure? | Nitrates |
What are generally prescribed for hypertension and angina | Calcium channel blockers |
What are generally used as antihypertensive may also be prescribed for arrhythmias? | Beta blockers |
Vasodilators and Calcium Channel Blockers make the heart rate ? | fluctuate down, up and not at all |
Beta Blockers, make the heart rate? | do down |
Antidepressants and Bronchodialtors and Diuretics effect heart rate? | not at all |
Where are the two places to take a pulse? | Carotid Artery and the Radial Artery |
What makes the blood pressure decline? | Beta Blockers, Calcium channel Blockers, Vasodilators, antidepressants, diuretics, Nitrates, |
What is the typical resting heart rate? | between 70 - 80 beats per minute |
Which heart rate training zone is .65 - .75? | Zone 1 - builds aerobic base and aids in recovery |
Which heart rate training zone is .76 - .85 | zone 2 - increases aerobic and anaerobic endurance |
Which heart rate training zone is .86 - .95? | zone 3 - builds high-end work |
What is this formula?(220 - age) and multiply by intensity | Target Heart Rate |
What is this equation for? (HR max - HR resting)(desired intensity)+ HR resting | Target Heart Rate: HR Reserve Method |
The top number on the blood pressure is called the | Systolic |
The bottom number on the blood pressure is called the | diastolic |
This number represents the pressure in the arteries | systolic |
This number represents the pressure when the heart is filling with blood. | diastolic |
The systolic blood pressure should be under or equal to | 120 mm HG |
The diastolic should be under or equal to | 80 mm HG |
The relative percentage of body weight that is fat versus fat-free tissue is: | Body composition also called percent body fat |
How much body percent fat should a man have? | Essential: 3-5 %, athletic: 5 - 13%, Recommended: after age 34 = 10 - 25% |
How much body percent fat should a woman have? | Essential: 8 - 12 %, Athletic 12 - 22%, Recommended: 23% - 38% |
Where are the 4 places to take the Darin Womersley SkinFold measurement? | Biceps, triceps, subcapular, illiac crest |
All skinfold measurements should be taken on which of the body. | the right side |
What is the equation for fat mass? | Body percent (scale weight) |
What is the equation for Lean Body Mass | Scale weight - Fat mass = Lean Body mass |
Why are circumference measurements helpful? | 1. good for obese clients, 2. Good for comparisons, 3. Good for assessing fat pattern and distribution, 4. Inexpensive, Easy to record, 5. Little technical error, 6. used for waist circumference, 7. used for waist-to-hip ratio |
What is the name of the calculation for the ratio of height to weight? | BMI |
This is the equation for: Weight (lbs)/Height (inches)squared X 703 | BMI example: 135/60(squared)X 703= 135/3600 (703)= 26 Body Mass Index |
What are the acceptable percentage for BMI? | Between 18.6 and 24.9 |
Which cardio test has the client stair climb for 3 minutes, with an "up, up, down, down" cadence and takes the Heart Rate immediately after completing? | YMCA 3 minute Step Test |
Which test is designed to estimate a cardio starting point by recording weight, walking one mile, record the time it takes to walk one mile, record heart rate, and determine O2 consumption? | Rockport Walk Test |
By looking at the static posture of a person, a PT can identify 3 possible distortion patterns. | Pronation Distortion Syndrome, Lower Crossed Syndrome, Upper Crossed Syndrome |
what is a postural distortion characterized by foot pronation (flat feet) and adducted and internally rotated knees? | Pronation distortion syndrome |
What is a postural distortion characterized by an anterior tilt to the pelvis (arched lower back) | Lower Crossed Syndrome |
What is a postural distortion syndrome characterized by a forward head and rounded shoulder? | Upper Cross Syndrome |
What are the kinetic chain checkpoints? | Foot and Ankle, Knee, Lumbo-pelvic-hip, shoulders, head and cervical spine |
When giving a static postural assessment, look at the following views . . . | Anterior, Lateral, and Posterior |
What are the ways of assessing a dynamic posture? | Overhead squat, single leg squat, pushing and pulling assessment |
What are you looking for when assessing the overhead squat, single leg balance, pushing and pulling assessment? | Body alignment to assess possible muscle imbalances. |
What are the kinetic checkpoints for the overhead squat? | Anterior -Feet and Knees- Flatten/Turn out, moves inward Lateral - Pelvic - excessive lean forward, low back arches, Shoulder - arms fall forward |
What are the checkpoints for the single leg squat? | Anterior-knees - Moves forward |
What are the check points for the pushing assessment? | Pelvic - Low back arches, Shoulder Complex - shoulders elevate, Head - head migrates forward |
What are the checkpoints for the pulling assessment? | Pelvic - low back arches, shoulder - shoulders elevate, head - head migrates forward |
What does the push-up test measure? | This test measures the muscular endurance of the upper body, primarily the pushing muscles |
