true

changes in fitness are more sensitive to changes in intensity than to changes in duration or frequency of training. (T or F)

with the client standing upright with arms hanging freely at the sides and the hands facing the thighs, a horizontal measure is taken midway between the acromion and olecranon process

location and technique for biceps circumference

with the client standing upright with arms at the sides, feet together, and abdomen relaxed, a horizontal measure is taken at the height of the iliac crest, typically level with the umbilicus

location and technique for abdominal circumference

with the client standing erect and feet together, a horizontal measure is taken at the maximal circumference of the buttocks

location and technique for hip circumference

with the client standing upright with arms at the sides, feet together, and abdomen relaxed, a horizontal measure is taken at the narrowest part of the torso (above the umbilicus and below the xiphoid process)

location and technique for waist circumference

Bioelectrical impedence analysis (BIA)

measures electrical signals as they pass through fat, lean mass, and water in the body. this method assesses leanness, but calculations can be made based on this information; accuracy based primarily on the sophistication of the machine and the validity of the prediction algorithms many fitness centers utilize this method due to simplicity of use. optimal hydration is necessary for accurate results

medical release

this form provides the PT with the client's medical information and explains physical activity limitations and/or guidelines as outlined by their physician. Deviation from these guidelines must be approved by the client's personal physician

hydrostatic weighing (i.e. underwater weighing)

this method measures the amount of water a person displaces when completely submerged, thereby indirectly measuring body fat via body density. generally not practical in a fitness center setting due to the sixe of the apparatus and the complexity of the technique required for accurate measurements, which involves the individual going to the bottom of a tank, exhaling all air from the lunges (expiratory reserve volume), and then holding the breath until the scale settles and records an accurate weight, the assessment must then be repeated to ensure reliability; the GOLD STANDARD

ACSM guidelines

ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 10th edition

-based on measured VT1 and VT2 -ideally, VT1 and VT2 are measured in a lab with a metabolic cart and blood lactate -field assessments are relatively easy to administer, require minimal equipment, and provide accurate corresponding HRs at VT1 and VT2 -programming with metabolic markers allows for personalized programming

Advantages/Limitations of Metabolic Markers:VT1 and VT2 and HR relative to VT1 and VT2

-good subjective intensity marker -correlates well with talk test, metabolic markers, and measured %VO2max -easy to teach to clients

Advantages/Limitations of RPE (terminology)

-based on actual changes in ventilation due to physiological adaptations to increasing exercise intensities -very easy for practical measurement -no equipment required -can easily be taught to clients -allows for personalized programming

Advantages/Limitations of Talk Test

Evocation

Component of the "Spirit" of Motivational Interviewing in which the PT elicits the client's own motivation for a particular change, instead of telling the client why they should change

Collaboration

Component of the "Spirit" of Motivational Interviewing in which the PT functions as a partner in collaboration with the client based on the recognition that people are the undisputed experts on themselves; allows the clients ideas to be integrated into how the behavior change should occur

Acceptance

Component of the "Spirit" of Motivational Interviewing in which the PT values the inherent worth and potential of every client through empathy, honoring individual autonomy and affirming a person's strength and efforts; involves respecting the client's decisions about whether and how the behavior change should occur

Compassion

Component of the"Spirit" of Motivational Interviewing in which the PT demonstrates compassion when they deliberately pursue the welfare and best interests of the client, giving priority to the client's needs

Self-liberation

Deciding to change and experiencing a new belief in the ability to change(one of the processes of change)

-initially, increase the number of minutes per session (duration) and the number of days a week (frequency) of moderate-intensity activity prior to an increase in the exercise intensity -be mindful of the magnitude increase in physical activity each week, as this can be predictive of injury risk. for instance, a 20-minute increase per week is safer for a client who already does 200 minutes a week of jogging (a 10% increase) relative to a client who does 40 minutes per week (50% increase) -high volumes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity appear to remove the excess risk of all-cause mortality that is associated with high volumes of sitting -decreased sedentary time reduces, but does not eliminate, the risks related to a lack of physical activity throughout the week

Exercise duration guidelines related to duration call for the following:

Dramatic relief

Experiencing negative emotions because the negative behavior (e.g., being physically inactive or eating fast food) is perceived to be problematic, then feeling relief from deciding to change(one of the processes of change)

Consciousness raising

Finding and learning new facts, ideas, and tips that support the healthy behavior change (one of the processes of change)

1. Voice quality - inspire confidence, don't sound weak or hesitant 2. Eye contact - direct and friendly 3. Facial expressions - try to convey genuine emotion 4. Hand gestures - too much is distracting, keep hands quiet 5. Body position - exhibit good posture

Frequency recommendations for reducing sedentary time according to FITT

206.9 - (0.67 x age)

Gellish et al formula for MHR

refueling should begin within 30 minutes after exercise and be followed by a high-carbohydrate meal within 2 hours. A carbohydrate intake of 1.5 kg of body weight in the first 30 min after exercise and then every 2 hours for 4 to 6 hours is recommended.

Guidelines for refueling after exercise:

distributing zone 1 training time across warm ups, cool downs , moderate intensity workouts focused on increasing distance and/or exercise time recovery intervals following zone 2 and 3 workouts on days following higher intensity workouts. By completing adequate zone 1 training time, clients will have the mental and physical energy required to perform their zone 2 and 3 intervals as planned.

≥5 days/week of moderate exercise, or ≥4 days/week of vigorous exercise, or a combination of moderate and vigorous exercise on ≥3-5 days/week is recommended

aerobic (cardiovascular endurance) exercise evidence-based recommendations for frequency

moderate and/or vigorous intensity is recommended for most adults light-to moderate intensity exercise may be beneficial in deconditioned individuals

aerobic (cardiovascular endurance) exercise evidence-based recommendations for intensity

exercise may be performed in one continuous session, in one interval session, or in multiple sessions of ≥10 minutes to accumulate the desired duration and volume of exercise per day exercise bouts of <10 minutes may yield favorable adaptations in very deconditioned individuals

aerobic (cardiovascular endurance) exercise evidence-based recommendations for pattern

a gradual progression of exercise volume by adjusting exercise duration, frequency, and/or intensity is reasonable until the desired exercise goal (maintenance) is attained this approach of "start low and go slow" may enhance adherence and reduce risks of musculoskeletal injury and adverse cardiac events

aerobic (cardiovascular endurance) exercise evidence-based recommendations for progression

30-60 minutes/day of purposeful moderate exercise, or 20-60 minutes/day of vigorous exercise, or a combination of moderate and vigorous exercise per day is recommended for most adults <20 minutes of exercise per day can be beneficial, especially in previously sedentary individuals

aerobic (cardiovascular endurance) exercise evidence-based recommendations for time

Regular, purposeful exercise that involves major muscle groups and is continuous and rhythmic in nature is recommended

aerobic (cardiovascular endurance) exercise evidence-based recommendations for type

a target volume of ≥500-1000 MET -minutes/week is recommended increasing pedometer step counts by ≥2000 steps/day to reach a daily step count ≥7000 steps/day is beneficial exercising below these volumes may still be beneficial for individuals unable or unwilling to reach this amount of exercise

aerobic (cardiovascular endurance) exercise evidence-based recommendations for volume

standard deviation of 12bpm overestimates MHR in younger adults underestimates MHR in older adults

concerns with the Fox, Naughton, and Haskell MHR formula

-client should be resting comfortably for several minutes or more in a quiet, restful environment before obtaining rhr -rhr may be measured indirectly by placing the fingertips on a pulse site (palpation) or directly by listening through a stethoscope (auscultation) -place the tips of the index and middle fingers (not the thumb, which has a pulse of its own) over the artery and apply pressure (to determine rhr, count the number of beats for 30 to 60 seconds and then correct that score to bpm if necessary) -when measuring by auscultation, place the bell of the stethoscope to the left of the client's sternum just above or below the nipple line -clients may also measure their own rhr before rising from bed in the morning and report it to the personal trainer

considerations for measuring rhr

flexion

decreasing the angle between two bones

heat stroke

hot, dry skin bright red skin color rapid, strong pulse labored breathing elevated body core temp

standing or sitting positions elevate hr more than supine or prone positions due to the involvement of postural muscles and the effects of gravity

how does body position affect rhr

noise, as well as high and low temperatures, can place additional stress on the body, increasing HR as the body attempts to respond

how might environmental factors affect rhr?

in these muscles, the muscle fibers run parallel to the long axis of the muscle, forming a long, strap-like arrangement; although it is capable of producing considerable movement, it is relatively weak compared to other muscle-fiber arrangements (example: sartorius muscle)

extension

increasing the angle between two bones

rotation

internal (inward) or external (outward) turning about the vertical axis of a bone

-to provide a framework that ensures proper alignment of muscle fibers, blood vessels, and nerves -to enable the safe and effective transmission of forces throughout the whole muscle -to provide the necessary lubricated surfaces between muscle fibers that allow muscles to change shape during contraction and elongation

intramuscular fascia (deep fascia) is directly related to flexibility and ROM. Its 3 main functions are:

inversion

evaporation

occurs when heat is transferred from the body to water on the surface of the skin (e.g., sweat). when this water accumulates sufficient heat, it is convected to a gas (water vapor), removing heat from the body as it vaporizes

functional training ( or purposeful exercise) that takes advantage of closed-kinetic-chain activity and focuses on the body's stabilizing musculature

people who have weak stabilizer muscles (e.g. deep abdominals, hip stabilizers, and scapular retractors) exhibit problems with performing proper, efficient movement, which may lead to pain and/or injury. What should be incorporated in rehabilitation or post-rehabilitation programs for these individuals?

-assessments should be performed prior to exercise

should circumference assessments be performed prior to or after exercise?

-the pt should explain the procedure for each assessment and ensure that the client is comfortable with the proposed measurement sites -each measurement must be performed using the precise landmarks -the pt should record values on the assessment form and then evaluate and classify the client's measurements using normative date -pts should discuss health and fitness concerns related to abnormal readings and educate clients on strategies to reduce personal risk and improve overall health

-genetics -exercise modality(e.g. MHR varies between running and cycling due to the involvement of upper body musculature) -medications -body size: MHR is generally higher in smaller individuals who have smaller hearts, and hence lower stroke volumes -altitude: altitude can lower the MHR reached due to most individual's inability to train at higher intensities -age: MHR generally decreases by 1 bpm each year starting in a person's early 20s. However, there is considerable inter-individual variability in the age-associated reduction in MHR based on factors such as genetics, medications, and training status

non-elastic, flexible tape

what type of tape should be used for circumference measurements?

when the clent rises from bed in the morning

when is the client's true rhr measured?

important for training balance and postural control during dynamic activities

why are multidirectional arm reaches (i.e., reaching one or both arms in front of, to the side of, or behind the body) important in including in a program to enhance an older adult's everyday activities?

these tasks are required to stand up from a chair or stoop down to pick up a pair of shoes

why are squatting and lunging essential to human movement (very important in including in a program to enhance an older adult's everyday activities)?

may evoke a vasovagal response that slows down HR

why do pts and clients have to be careful not to push down too hard on the carotid artery?

physchological or emotional stress can affect rhr

why might sharing of personal information or thinking about stressful situations cause rhr to rise?

digestion increases rhr. absorption and digestion require energy, necessitating the delivery of additional blood to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, while blood flow to the other parts of the body are not changed

why should a client not eat too closely to the assessing of rhr?
