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.

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.

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. Application of Force The force of an object is most effective when it is applied in the direction that the object is to travel. Absorption of Force The impact of a force should be gradually reduced ("give with the force") and spread over a large surface.
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.
Girls and women in sport- female coaches
