is defined as the belief in one's own capabilities to successfully engage in a behavior.

Cardiac output

is the product of stroke volume and heart rate, and therefore is defined as the amount of blood pumped per minute.

Atherosclerosis

is the underlying cause of cerebral and peripheral vascular diseases. Manifestations of atherosclerosis include angina, heart attack, stroke, and intermittent claudication.

The first objective when meeting a prospective client

is to first build a foundation for a personal relationship with the individual; gathering information on the client's goals and objectives is secondary.

Which of the following joints favors stability over mobility?

The location of the center of mass

varies in individuals by body shape, size, and gender, being slightly higher in males due to greater quantities of musculature in the upper body.

During submaximal exercise

ventilation increases linearly with oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. This occurs primarily through an increase in tidal volume (i.e., the volume of air inhaled and exhaled per breath). At higher or near-maximal intensities (above VT2), the frequency of breathing becomes more pronounced and minute ventilation rises disproportionately to the increases in oxygen consumption. Tidal volume decreases as breathing rate increases.

Adherence is defined as

voluntary and active involvement in an exercise program
