Exercise and Adherence

Adherence to supervised exercise programs is low, with about 50% of adults who start an exercise program dropping out within the first 3 months. Only 30% of individuals who begin an exercise program will be exercising at the end of 3 years.

Civil War Period through 1900

Battle of the Systems: Late 1880s sparked debate among physical educators regarding which system of gymnastics should serve as the curriculum for American schools, 1880 - Boston Conference of Physical Training: No consensus on which system would best serve needs of American people, Posse - need an American system designed for the American people; growth of American sport in popularity: tennis, golf, bowling, basketball, Founding of AAU (Amateur Athletic Association), Revival of Olympics in Athens (1896), colleges and universities develop departments and expand programs, first YMCA opens up in US, expansion of intercollegiate athletics, emphasis on teacher preparation, scientific basis of PE, diagnosis and prescription of activity, organized PE programs in elementary and secondary schools, 1885 - Founding of the forerunner of AAHPERD.

Social Cognitive Theory

Behavior change is influenced by environmental factors, personal factors, and attributes of the behavior itself. Self-efficacy is central to this model. Individual must believe in his or her ability to perform the behavior and must perceive an incentive for changing the behavior. Outcomes must be valued by the individual.

Chronic Diseases Major threat to health today. Hypokinetic Diseases Diseases caused by insufficient physical activity, often in conjunction with inappropriate dietary practices. Coronary heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, non-insulin diabetes, chronic back pain, and obesity. Inactivity is a risk factor for several diseases. Individuals who lead a sedentary lifestyle have increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Inactive individuals have almost twice the risk of CHD as those who are active. The degree of risk is similar to cigarette smoking, hypertension, and obesity.

Understanding Behavior Change

Classic learning theories Health belief model Social cognitive theory Theory of reasoned action Theory of planned behavior Transtheoretical model Ecological approach

Know the three (3) domains or classifications of behavior (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) in which learning occurs and what taxonomies have been established for each domain. Also, each domain has categories that will describe how learning occurs within that domain and objectives for each.

Classifications for behavior and objectives for learning: Cognitive - thinking Affective - feeling Psychomotor - doing Taxonomies Serve as a guide for professionals in planning for learning outcomes and achievement of desired goals. Organizes educational objectives in a progressive hierarchy, from low to high, using developmental theories as a basis for formulating objectives. Cognitive Domain Concerned with the acquisition of knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. Professionals can contribute to the knowledge of the human body, exercise, disease, and health. Bloom's Taxonomy - remembering, understanding, applying analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Affective Domain Concerned with how individuals' feelings about themselves, the learning experience, and the subject influence their learning. Krathwohl's taxonomy reflects the development of values, appreciations, attitudes, and character. Desired outcomes include a positive self-concept, enhancement of self-worth, self respect, and social responsibility. Psychomotor Domain Main focus of our field. Objectives focus on the acquisition of basic movements and perceptual abilities and emphasizes the development of fitness and highly skilled movements. Motor skill development Physical fitness development

Know difference between open and closed skills.

Closed skill: The environment remains the same during the skill performance; stable, predictable; self-paced EX:bowling Open skill: Environment is unpredictable and the performer must continually modify and adapt his/her responses to the ever changing environment; variable, unpredictable; extremely-paced EX: defending player in soccer game

Mechanism of Effect

Know principles of fitness training as well as the FITT formula, Threshold of Training and Target Zone.

Principles of fitness training Principle of Individuality Individuals respond differently to exercise and will vary in their rate of improvement and levels of achievement. Principle of Recovery Rest allows the body to recover and adapt to the changes placed on it. Principles of Safety Safety is paramount. Principle of Overload To gain improvements in health and fitness, an increased workload must be placed on the body. Principle of Specificity Training must occur with the specific muscle or body part the person is attempting to improve. Principle of Progression Overload should be applied gradually, and steadily increased as the body adapts. Principle of Diminishing Returns As fitness increases, gains achieved become less and less as individuals approach limits of adaptability. Principle of Variation Helps maintain individual's' interest and provides a change of pace while continuing to make progress toward desired goals. Principle of Reversibility "Use it or lose it - inactivity leads to gradual erosion of benefits achieved. Frequency- Number of sessions each week (i.e., how often). Intensity- Degree of effort put forth during exercise (i.e., how hard). Time- Duration of activity (i.e., how long). Type- Mode of exercise being performed. Threshold of Training-Minimal level of exercise needed to achieve desired benefits. Target Zone- Defines the upper limits of training and the optimal level of exercise.

Stability can be increased by widening the base of support. b. Motion - linear and rotary - know Newton's Laws (names and what they state) Rotary motion: Movement of a body around a center of rotation - the axis. Linear Motion: Movement in a straight line and from one point to another. Newton's First Law: Law of Inertia Newton's Second Law: Law of Acceleration Newton's Third Law: Law of Action and Reaction c. Leverage - parts of the system of levers and the types (classes) of levers. Lever: Mechanical device used to produce a turning motion around a fixed point called an axis. Lever components Fulcrum - center or axis of rotation Force arm - distance from the fulcrum to the point of application of the force Classes of levers First class: Fulcrum between the weight and the force Second class: Weight is between the fulcrum and the force Third class: Force is between the fulcrum and the weight d. Force - production, application, absorption Production of Force Produced by the actions of muscles. The stronger the muscles, the more force the body can produce.

Know historical development of goals and objectives of physical education and how they differ from the contemporary goals and objectives.

The goals and objectives shifted from an emphasis on the education of the physical to a focus on education through the physical (i.e., developmental model). 1883 - Thomas Wood - physical education should contribute to the complete education of the individual. 1910 - Clark Hetherington - 'father of modern physical education', viewed PE's contributions to organic, psychomotor, intellectual, and character education. 1964 - Charles Bucher - identified 4 developmental objectives for PE: physical, motor and movement, mental, and social development. Contemporary physical education, exercise science, and sport programs are diverse in content, vary in setting, and serve people of all ages. 1995 & 2004 - National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) developed Content Standards in Physical Education Identifies content standards and assessment guidelines to measure student learning. Provides a framework that identifies goals and objectives associated with quality programs. Professionals in all settings can incorporate the assessment benchmarks, points of emphasis, criteria, and suggested assessment techniques.

Know the different motor learning models, and the steps/components of each:

input --> decision-making --> output --> feedback --> input (back to beginning) Input: the process of obtaining information from the environment. This information is obtained through the senses (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and other sensory information is transmitted through the nervous system to the brain where the process of Decision Making occurs) Decision Making: all of this information is sifted, evaluated, and interpreted and then a decision is made about what movement to make. Thus, the response and its execution are the Output. Feedback is the information about the performance of the movement and its quality, appropriates, or outcome. The knowledge gained from feedback can be used to improve decision making process, thus eventually using the feedback to improve performance.
