| The characteristics and properties of skeletal muscle fiber types and type of physical activity associated with each | |
| The difference between isometric, concentric, and eccentric contractions | |
| The basic principles of anaerobic and aerobic metabolism (Energy Production) and what these terms mean | |
| The intensity and duration components of the ATP-PC, lactic acid, and aerobic energy systems and the type of exercise associated with each | |
| The basics of VO2max test and factors affecting it | |
| The metabolic and structural adaptations to anaerobic and aerobic training and the cardiorespiratory responses to endurance training | |
| The function and purpose of the cardiovascular system | |
| What blood pressure is and what systolic and diastolic pressures are | |
| The definition of cardiac output and the components which go into its determination | |
| What stroke volume, heart rate, and oxygen consumption | |
| What happens to the distribution of cardiac output from rest to maximal exercise and how this happens | |
| The difference in CO(Q), SV, heart rate, and VO2 between trained and untrained subjects | |
| The purpose of the pulmonary system and what are the effects of training on the lung | |
| Approximate values for breathing frequency and tidal volume | |
| The significance of lactate threshold | |
| Which nutrient (carbs, fats) is primarily used for different intensities of exercise | |
| what is General Adaptation Syndrome | |
| The time course for muscular strength (neural vs hypertrophy) | |
| Training the aerobic vs the anaerobic system (Differences) | |
| The difference between intervals and continuous training | |
| The importance intensity, frequency, duration, mode and rate of progression for exercise | |
| Exercise prescription components (frequency, intensity, duration) | |
| The concept of energy balance | |
| The importance of body composition (including the two-compartment model) | |
| Basic understanding, advantages/disadvantages (accuracy) of types of body composition measurements discussed in class | |
| What components (and percentages) go into total energy expenditure over a typical day | |
| The energy values of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins | |
| Factors responsible for individual differences in body fat | |
| Understand the importance of fluid and electrolyte intake and when sports drinks are appropriate | |
| The factors the contribute to BMR | |
| What is the link between muscle mass and BMR | |
| The difference between physical fitness and health | |
| Basis of coronary heart disease; causes, risk factors (primary, secondary) | |
| Role of exercise in heart disease and hypertension | |
| What forms of cholesterol exist and recommended values of each | |
| Role of exercise (type, etc) in obesity, diabetes, COPD, mental health, cancer, osteoporosis, and the immune system | |
| what are some Common environmental problems | |
| The body’s main ways to gain and lose heat | |
| The role of blood flow in temperature regulation | |
| The difference in core and shell temperatures | |
| The different types of heat transfer and how to explain them | |
| Acclimatization and adaptations | |
| The acute effects of high altitude on aerobic performance | |
| Altitude Illness | |
| The developmental continuum applied to kinesiology | |
| How exercise is affected by developmental changes | |
| What performance related fitness components are | |
| The considerations for training youth | Kids are not mini adults. Children do not have the same hormone reactions. Heat stroke is more predominant because of less sweat glands. Water and Good food, motivation might not be the easiest. Focus on play! |
| The implications of adult development on fitness | |
| The basics of aging physiology | muscle and strength decreases, number of synapses decrease, tendency to slow down, balance/nervous system is crucial, but one of many variables, becomes fragile, skeletal system decreases |
