In order to reproduce within food, microorganisms require the following:

*Temperature . Between 40°F and 140°F, which is called the danger zone, bacteria grow rapidly. *Time . More than two hours in the danger zone. *Water . High moisture content is helpful. Fresh fruits and vegetables have the highest moisture content. *Oxygen . Most microorganisms need oxygen to grow and multiply, but a few are anaerobic and do not.

Viruses require a

living host to survive unlike bacteria which can flourish on both living and nonliving surfaces.

what kind of nutrient density for food that is low in nutrients and high in kilocalories

low nutrient density

thrives in

low-oxygen environments and can be found in bulging or dented cans, temperature-abused vegetables, and garlic-in-oil mixtures that do contain acid (vinegar) or preservatives].

Prions are

proteins and are extremely rare but are deadly infectious agents (this is what causes mad cow disease).

Prions are

proteins that act a bit like viruses. They are pathogenic and require a host to survive and reproduce. Have you heard of 'mad cow' disease? That is officially known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy and is caused by prions. It is a fatal brain infection that can be passed on to humans who consume contaminated meat. The risk of contamination is increased when animal protein is used in the feed of food animals such as cows, sheep, and goats and therefore the use of such protein is prohibited in food animal production. Prions are undetectable by odor, taste, or color of the food so contaminated food needs to be avoided altogether.

Sources include

raw or undercooked meat, raw vegetables, unpasteurized milk, minimally processed ciders and juices, and contaminated drinking water.

Hepatitis A is one of the more well-known food-contaminating viruses. Sources include detection symptoms occur when At first, symptoms include

raw shellfish from polluted water, and food handled by an infected person. This virus can go undetected for weeks and, on average, symptoms do not appear until about one month after exposure. At first, symptoms include malaise, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Three to ten days later, additional symptoms can manifest, including jaundice and darkened urine. Severe cases of a hepatitis A can result in liver damage and death.

The most common form of contamination from handled foods is the norovirus, which is also known as the Norwalk-like virus, or the calicivirus. Sources include symptoms [Prevention

raw shellfish from polluted water, salads, sandwiches, and other ready-to-eat foods handled by an infected person. The norovirus causes gastroenteritis and within one to three days it leads to symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, and a low-grade fever. [Prevention of both Hepatitis A and norovirus are proper handwashing, prevention of cross-contamination, and purchasing seafood from reputable suppliers.]

As a person ages, his or her levels of cardiorespiratory fitness tend to __________.

B: decline

Explain what is meant by balance stretching.

Balance stretching is giving equal attention to stretching all parts of your body. It is also important to stretch opposite muscles in equal amounts. For example, you need to stretch your hamstrings as much as your quads, and you need to stretch your right arm as much as your left arm. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* Balanced stretching refers to performing stretching exercises across the entire body. Stretching the entire body balances the fitness benefits across all muscle groups instead of limiting the benefits to a single or limited number of muscle groups.

Describe what ballistic stretching is and why it's harmful. Then, provide at least two examples of how one should properly stretch? (Site 1)

Ballistic stretching is using motion to bounce and stretch your body past its natural range of motion. This can be harmful if you don't have a professional to help you because you can tear, damage, or pop your tendons, ligaments, or joints. Some examples of how to properly stretch would be to do dynamic stretching in which you move your joint through its range of motion, or to do static stretching which does not involve movement, but maintains an extended position.

Compare and contrast the exercise principles of progression and overload

Both progression and overload are concerned with slowly increasing the intensity and challenge of the exercises of a workout. Overload arises from the need to increase exercise intensity to maintain a challenging workout: as a body adapts to a given exercise level, the difficulty must be increased to keep challenging the body and making progress. Progression is closely related to overload and also requires that an exercise program gradually become more difficult. Progression, however, is focused on the increased goals of an exercise program rather than the adaptation of the human body.

Compare and contrast the exercise principles of progression and overload.

The Food and Drug Administration

The FDA enforces the safety of domestic and imported foods. It also monitors supplements, food labels, claims that corporations make about the benefits of products, and pharmaceutical drugs. Sometimes, the FDA must recall contaminated foods and remove them from the market to protect public health. For example, Recalls are almost always voluntary and often are requested by companies after a problem has been discovered. In rare cases, the FDA will request a recall. But no matter what triggers the removal of a product, the FDA's role is to oversee the strategy and assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the recall.

How does dynamic stretching help an individual prepare for an activity?

The controlled movement of limbs through a full range of motion reduces muscle tightness and increases the range of motion of those particular muscles. By going through dynamic stretching of muscles that are going to be used in an activity, the body is prepared for that specific activity. When muscles are loose and relaxed for an activity, it reduces the risk of injury, as well as muscle soreness and fatigue.

Serving Food

After food has been cooked, the possibility of bacterial growth increases as the temperature drops. So, food should be kept above the safe temperature of 140°F, using a heat source such as a chafing dish, warming tray, or slow cooker. Cold foods should be kept at 40°F or lower. [The temperature range between 40°F and 140°F is also called the "Danger Zone" because it is the optimal temperature range at which pathogens grow. Food should be discarded if left out in the Danger Zone longer than four hours. Try not to leave food out in the Danger Zone longer than two hours to minimize pathogen growth.] When serving food, keep it covered to block exposure to any mold spores hanging in the air.

example of pollutants

Chemical runoff from factories can pollute food products and drinking water. For example, dioxins are chemical compounds created in industrial processes, such as manufacturing and bleaching pulp and paper. Fish that swim in dioxin-polluted waters can contain significant amounts of this pollutant, which causes cancer. When metals contaminate food, it can result in serious and even life-threatening health problems. A common metal contaminant is lead, which can be present in suffer from physical and mental developmental delays as a result.

The four most important steps for handling, preparing, and serving food are:

Clean. Wash hands thoroughly. Clean surfaces often and wash utensils after each use. Wash fruits and vegetables (even if you plan to peel them). Separate. Don't cross-contaminate food during preparation and storage. Use separate cutting boards for produce and for meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs. Store food products separately in the refrigerator. Cook. Heat food to proper temperatures. Use a food thermometer to check the temperature of food while it is cooking. Keep food hot after it has been cooked.

signs and symptoms

Different diseases manifest in different ways, so signs and symptoms can vary with the source of contamination. However the illness occurs, the microbe or toxin enters the body through the gastrointestinal tract, and as a result common symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Additional symptoms may include vomiting, dehydration, lightheadedness, and rapid heartbeat. More severe complications can include a high fever, diarrhea that lasts more than three days, prolonged vomiting, bloody stools, and signs of shock.

Describe a potential risk that distinguishes hurdle stretches performed with the leg pointed back from hurdle stretches with the leg inside.

Doing a hurdle stretch with your leg pointed back can put stress on your back leg's knee joint, which can pop your knee out of place and put unwanted stress on the joint. Doing it with your leg inside gives you the exact same stretch, but doesn't harm your knee. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* Both types of hurdle stretches loosen up the hamstring in the same way. But the hurdle stretch with the leg pointed back puts sideways torque on the back knee and can result in injury. So while the potential benefit of the exercises are the same, one risks serious injury to the knee.

False

Plyometrics is an isometric exercise technique. True False

False

Explain why static flexibility tests are more common than dynamic flexibility tests.

Dynamic flexibility tests are hard to do because they measure the amount of stress on a muscle that is in motion, and it is difficult to assess this among many people and to get an accurate picture. Static flexibility tests are easy to compare and measure because they have concrete measurements and take out any discrepancies between athletes. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* Static flexibility tests are more common than dynamic tests because they are easier to replicate. It is difficult to standardize motion-based tests between different subjects, while static tests are simple and easy to standardize because the metrics are fixed and not open to interpretation.

Which of the following BEST defines dynamic stretching?

Dynamic stretching features slow, deliberate, controlled motions useful for activity preparation and reducing muscle tightness.

enrichment fortification

Enrichment involves adding nutrients to restore those that were lost during processing. For example, iron and certain B vitamins are added to white flour to replace the nutrients that are removed in the process of milling wheat. Fortification is slightly different than enrichment and involves adding new nutrients to enhance a food's nutritive value. For example, folic acid is typically added to cereals and grain products, while calcium is added to some orange juice.

What is the FDA? and what does it do

Food and Drug Administration federal agency responsible for safe food supply of all foods sold across state lines other than meat poultry and eggs

Food-borne illness outbreaks are harder to control in our industrial food system or locally-focused food systems

Food-borne illness outbreaks are harder to control in our industrial food system Rather than locally-focused food systems, foods travel across and between nations. They are processed and distributed from centralized locations and a single misstep in the production process can result in contaminated food traveling great distances. Locally-focused food systems can still have problems but they are much easier to track, pinpoint, and treat

two types of food born illness

Foodborne illnesses are either infectious or toxic in nature. the difference depends on the agent that causes the condition.

Foods contaminated with yeast will have

Foods contaminated with yeast will be white, pink, or have a 'slime' present. Discard any foods with the odor of alcohol or the appearance of mold since the threads are difficult to see and remove.]

Certain enrichment and fortification processes have been instrumental in protecting public health.

For example, adding iodine to salt has virtually eliminated iodine deficiencies, which protects against thyroid problems. Adding folic acid to wheat helps increase intake for pregnant women, which decreases the risk of neural tube defects in their children. Also, vegans or other people who do not consume many dairy products are able to drink orange juice or soy milk that has been fortified with calcium to meet the daily recommendations.

ocassional outbreaks occur that put communities, states and provinces, or even entire nations at risk. examples

For example, in 1994, an outbreak of the infection salmonellosis occurred in the United States due to contaminated ice cream. An estimated 224,000 people became ill. In 1988, contaminated clams resulted in an outbreak of hepatitis A in China, which affected about 300,000 people.

giardiasis

Giardia lamblia is another parasite that is found in contaminated drinking water. In addition, it lives in the intestinal tracts of animals, and can wash into surface water and reservoirs, similar to Cryptosporidium. Giardia causes giardiasis, with symptoms that include abdominal cramping and diarrhea within one to three days. Although most people recover within one to two weeks, the disease can lead to a chronic condition, especially in people with compromised immune systems.

Which of the following is NOT a reason why exercise routines should have clearly states goals?

Goals allow individuals to track their progress against others.

Food Safety and Hazard Analysis

Government regulatory agencies utilize HACCP programs to ensure food safety. HACCP, or hazard analysis and critical control points, is a system used to identify potential hazards and prevent foodborne illnesses. Some of the seven aspects of an HACCP program include identifying the points in a manufacturing process during which potential hazards could be introduced, establishing corrective actions, and maintaining record-keeping procedures. The USDA uses HACCP to regulate meat, while the FDA uses the seven-point system to monitor seafood and juice. In these industries, HACCP systems are used in all stages of production, processing, packaging, and distribution. Currently, the use of HACCP is voluntary for all other food products.

In your opinion, why are a person's hands a useful tool when estimating a serving size?

What would be the most likely outcome if a young man were using anabolic steroids?

He could develop breasts and high blood pressure.

Explain why head circles and arm circles are considered dangerous exercises.

Head circles and arm circles are two ballistic stretches which use motion to push your joints past their natural range of motion. This can tear or damage ligaments, tendons, or joints. Head circles can also put stress on and damage your spinal column, and arm circles can pop your arm out of socket. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* Both head circles and arm circles involve stretching with motion. These stretching exercises risk serious injury to the muscles of the neck and shoulders if the motions are not trictly controlled. When the head goes back, it hyperextends the neck, which is dangerous; despite not involving bouncing, arm circles are a ballistic exercise and should not be performed.

The US Department of Agriculture

Headed by the Secretary of Agriculture, the USDA develops and executes federal policy on farming and food. This agency supports farmers and ranchers, protects natural resources, promotes trade, and seeks to end hunger in the United States and abroad. The USDA also assures food safety, and in particular oversees the regulation of meat, poultry, and processed egg products.

Name a disorder from the cardiovascular system?

Heart attack Stroke

Explain how calisthenics can include both isometric and isotonic exercises.

In calisthenics exercises one gains resistances by moving against gravity. Calisthenic can include isometric by body weight being the ultimate force and in turn, resistance. Isometric exercises are more about holding your body in a motionless way like yoga.

Explain how calisthenics can include both isometric and isotonic exercises.

In calisthenics, the resistance is provided by moving the body against the force of gravity. But while body weight is ultimately the force providing the resistance, calisthenics can include exercises with and without muscle movement. Push-ups and sit-ups are isotonic calisthenics that involve muscle movement, while isometric exercises such as yoga require great effort to hold the body motionless in different positions.

Explain why it is important for a well-designed weight-training program to develop all six areas of the body.

In order for one's body to develope muscles in an even way, it is important to work out lol the major muscle groups. Some weight training programs only work on major muscle groups and neglect others that are just as important. To achieve quality fitness, one must work out all muscles in the body.

Explain why it is important to assess flexibility both before starting AND during a workout regimen.

In order to accurately evaluate progress in a flexibility workout regimen, it is important to establish a baseline level of flexibility and then to track progress during the regimen from that starting point. A baseline establishes where an individual is before starting a program; without a baseline, it would be difficult to know how much progress has been made as a result of the workout regimen. Tracking progress during a regimen is important because that information establishes the effectiveness of the regimen.

Explain why it is important for a well-designed weight-training program to develop all six areas of the body.

In order to develop the muscles of the body evenly, it is important for all major muscle groups to be exercised. A weight-training program that only focuses on a select few areas of the body will neglect areas that are also important. To achieve optimal physical fitness, no single area of the body can be neglected for weight training.

Compare and contrast the nutritional needs of infants and adults.

Infants rely on breast milk or formula for their nutrients and require extra protein, energy, and fatty acids because their bodies are growing rapidly. Adults need to eat a balanced diet based on MyPlate. The total number of calories needed to maintain a healthy weight decreases with age; however, both groups still need a regular intake of vitamins and minerals.

Explain why isokinetic exercises cannot generally be performed by individuals at home.

Isokinetic exercises require exerting a constant force against an equal and constant opposing force. Maintaining this constant opposing force requires specialized, expensive equipment that most people cannot afford. As a result, these kinds of exercises cannot generally be performed at home.

Which of the following is the BEST reason to rest muscle groups between workouts?

It allows the muscles time to heal.

Why is high blood pressure known as "the silent killer"?

It generally shows no symptoms.

How does dynamic stretching help an individual prepare for an activity?

It is a form of stretching while moving, so it uses your momentum to increase the range of motion, which will help you in a physical activity because you will be moving. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* The controlled movement of limbs through a full range of motion reduces muscle tightness and increases the range of motion of those particular muscles. By going through dynamic stretching of muscles that are going to be used in an activity, the body is prepared for that specific activity. When muscles are loose and relaxed for an activity, it reduces the risk of injury, as well as muscle soreness and fatigue.

Buying Food

It is best to buy your food from reputable grocers with clean, sanitary facilities, that keep products at appropriate temperatures. Consumers should examine food carefully before they purchase it. It is important to look at food in glass jars, check the stems on fresh produce, and avoid bruised fruit. Do not buy canned goods with dents or bulges, which are at risk for contamination with Clostridium botulinum.

Explain why it is important to assess flexibility both before starting AND during a workout regimen.

It is important to assess it before and during to see how much you have improved. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* In order to accurately evaluate progress in a flexibility workout regimen, it is important to establish a baseline level of flexibility and then to track progress during the regimen from that starting point. A baseline establishes where an individual is before starting a program; without a baseline, it would be difficult to know how much progress has been made as a result of the workout regimen. Tracking progress during a regimen is important because that information establishes the effectiveness of the regimen.

Explain why it is important to stretch slowly and why bouncing during stretching is very dangerous.

It is important to stretch slowly so your tendons and ligaments can have time to adjust and relax into the stretch, which will prevent them from being torn. Bouncing can accidentally tear your tendons and ligaments if you overstretch them. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* Stretching a muscle slowly prevents it from overextending and being damaged. When stretches occur too quickly, such as with bouncing, the muscle can be seriously damaged during the uncontrolled motions.

False

Joints all move in the same way.

Maggie would build muscular strength because of the weight sets and repetitions she has chosen.

Mark has been participating in a vigorous exercise routine for the past three months. However, around the start of the third month, he noticed he stopped making gains in his strength and cardiovascular endurance. Recommend two suggestions to Mark that would allow him to continue to improve his strength.

Mark is not experiencing any gains in his strength and endurance because he's not applying the principles of fitness to his exercise routine. First, he needs to ensure he is overloading his muscles every session since his body has adapted to his current routine. Next, Mark needs to make sure his routine is progressing in duration, intensity, frequency, and type. Lastly, he needs to make sure he sets specific goals so he has a roadmap to follow.

Discuss two ways to determine your muscular strength. Explain their advantages.

Maxing out means to lift the heaviest weight possible for one repetition while maintaining proper form. The advantages of maxing out include it being easy and not requiring calculations or estimates. Determining one RM: One uses percentages of weights and reps to determine one RM, calculations or books, and online resources available. The advantages of this method include resources being available in books or online and having no worry of injury or miscalculation from selecting the wrong maximum weight on the trial.

Methyl mercury

Methyl mercury occurs naturally in the environment and is also produced by human activities. Fish can absorb it, and the predatory fish that consume smaller, contaminated fish can have very high levels. This highly toxic chemical can cause mercury poisoning, which leads to developmental problems in children, as well as autoimmune effects. A condition called Minamata disease was identified in 1956 in Japan. It was named for the town of Minamata, which was the site of an environmental disaster when methyl mercury was released into the surface water near a factory. Many residents experienced neurological issues, including numbness in hands and feet, muscle weakness, a narrowing of the field of vision, damage to hearing and speech, and ataxia, which is a lack of muscle coordination

two types of food born illness , the difference depends on the agent that causes the condition.

Microbes, such as bacteria, cause food infections, while toxins, such as the kind produced by molds, cause intoxications.

If you increased the amount of muscle mass in your body, what other changes would occur?

More muscle mass would speed up metabolism, reduce the amount of body fat, and help protect an individual from injury.

Describe the location and importance of cilia and mucus in the respiratory system.

Mucus and cilia help filter dust and dirt. Cilia are small, hair-like structures in the nasal passage and trachea. Mucus is also found in the nasal passage and the trachea.

Minerals are inorganic substances that the body cannot produce on its own.

Explain how each of the three principles of cardiovascular fitness can lead to injury if they are not adhered to properly.

Overload can lead to injury if a person ignores his or her body's warning signs and continues applying stress to overworked muscles. Progression can easily lead to injury if an exercise program scales too quickly in difficulty. Specificity can contribute to injury if a person doesn't adhere to reasonable and attainable goals and attempts to do too much, too soon.

Compare and contrast the differences in a person's cardiovascular fitness between an exercise program that utilizes the progression principle and one that does not.

People who utilizes the progression principle will ensure their exercise program increases in frequency, intensity, time, and type. The changes need to happen gradually in order to ensure they make gains in their fitness program. A person who doesn't utilize the progression principle can still gain health benefits from exercising, but will not continue to improve in cardiovascular fitness.

Step 3: Create a Meal Plan

Plan meals for one or more weeks at a time Use a meal planning calendar if desired Remember to incorporate Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid Recommended servings

Explain how poor flexibility can make daily tasks more difficult...

Poor flexibility can make body movements, such as kneeling and bending over, far more difficult. This can make daily activities that use these movements more difficult. Accomplishing activists like cleaning the house can require bending over and kneeling, so when poor flexibility negatively impacts these activities, it makes larger tasks more difficult.

Poor flexibility can result in __________. A. poor mobility B. injuries C. pain D. all of the above

why pregnant woman and children and old people more at risk

Pregnancy itself causes a decline in immune system functioning so this group is at increased risk. Moreover, some pathogens like listeria, can actually cause miscarriages so mothers need to be especially careful. Young children do not have fully developed immune systems. Plus, they are small, so a little bit of contamination can cause even more damage compared to a larger adult. As we age, we our ability to produce stomach acid declines (we will learn more about the importance of stomach acid in future units) which is a first-line defense against food-borne illness. Elderly people have declining immune function overall and may be less able to tell if food is spoiled due to declines in sensory ability

What distinguishes the exercise principle of progression from that of overload?

Progression deals with increasing fitness goals rather than the physical challenge of a workout.

Compare and contrast the exercise principles of progression and overload.

Progression is gradually increasing the amount and type of stimulus applied to the muscle during each exercise. Overload is increasing the amount of activity such as the weight, duration, speed, and distance. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* Both progression and overload are concerned with slowly increasing the intensity and challenge of the exercises of a workout. Overload arises from the need to increase exercise intensity to maintain a challenging workout: as a body adapts to a given exercise level, the difficulty must be increased to keep challenging the body and making progress. Progression is closely related to overload and also requires that an exercise program gradually become more difficult. Progression, however, is focused on the increased goals of an exercise program rather than the adaptation of the human body.

where can you get food born illnesses from

Raw foods, such as seafood, produce, and meats, can all be contaminated during harvest (or slaughter for meats), processing, packaging, or during distribution, though meat and poultry are the most common source of foodborne illness. In many developing nations, contaminated water is also a major source of foodborne illness.

Why Plan Meals?

Reduces Stress Saves time and money Helps better meet nutrient needs Helps better manage calorie intake

Storing Food

Refrigerate perishable foods quickly; they should not be left out for more than two hours. The refrigerator should be kept at 40°F (or 4°C) or colder, and checked periodically with a thermometer. Store eggs in a carton on a shelf in the refrigerator, and not on the refrigerator door where the temperature is warmest. Wrap meat packages tightly and store them at the bottom of the refrigerator, so juices won't leak out onto other foods.

how to kill rotozoa

Refrigeration will not kill parasites so foods needed to be cooked thoroughly and purchased only from reputable suppliers.]

Explain why regular exercise is the best way to prevent flexibility issues...

Regular exercise helps keep muscles healthy and in good shape. Muscle stiffness that reduces flexibility often results from the overuse of muscle, but inactivity also weakens muscles and can make them more susceptible to injury. Regular exercise keeps muscles strong and makes it less likely that simple activities will overwork or injure them.

Tips to Remember

Remember that meal planning does not have to be hard Planning meals ahead of time helps save time, money, reduces stress and helps meet your nutrient needs

Why should you allow a minimum of 24 hours of rest between intense stretching activities?

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: As with any exercise, stretching stresses the muscles of the body. In order to avoid muscle fatigue or injury, sufficient rest is needed between workouts. For moderate to intense stretching, 24 hours of rest is generally sufficient, but for more intense workouts, 48 hours of rest between workouts may be necessary.

Muscle mass can affect a person's flexibility.

Explain what is meant by balance stretching.

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: Balanced stretching refers to performing stretching exercises across the entire body. Stretching the entire body balances the fitness benefits across all muscle groups instead of limiting the benefits to a single or limited number of muscle groups.

Explain why head circles and arm circles are considered dangerous exercises.

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: Both head circles and arm circles involve stretching with motion. These stretching exercises risk serious injury to the muscles of the neck and shoulders if the motions are not trictly controlled. When the head goes back, it hyperextends the neck, which is dangerous; despite not involving bouncing, arm circles are a ballistic exercise and should not be performed.

What distinguishes hurdle stretches performed with the leg inside and the leg pointed back?

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: Both types of hurdle stretches loosen up the hamstring in the same way. But the hurdle stretch with the leg pointed back puts sideways torque on the back knee and can result in injury. So while the potential benefit of the exercises are the same, one risks serious injury to the knee.

Compare and contrast drugs and supplements. Give two ways that they are similar and two ways that they are different

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: Drugs are not allowed to be sold until they are approved by the FDA, while supplements go right to the market and deal with problems after they are sold. Drugs are put through a series of stringent tests before they are approved, while supplements are sold with no testing on effectiveness or safety. Both can be used to treat conditions. Both can be used to enhance workouts.

many diff types of additives

Some additives enhance texture and consistency. For example, gums and pectins are used to improve consistency and texture. Emulsifiers improve stability, consistency, and homogeneity. Leavening agents are added to breads to cause them to rise. Anti-caking agents prevent products from absorbing moisture and lumping while humectants actually increase moisture in a product. Some additives improve nutrient content. Color and flavor enhancers improve the appeal of foods. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a common flavor enhancer

According to the article, what are some instances in which one should refrain from stretching? (Site 1)

Some instances in which you should not stretch are following muscle strains or ligament sprains, when joints or muscles are infected, inflamed or hurt, after a recent fracture, or when sharp pains are felt in the joints or muscles.

What are some things to consider when deciding to use free weights or machine weights? (Site 1)

Some safety things to consider when using free weights or machine weights is that machine weights are safer if used properly, but you can drop free weights and injure yourself. Free weights are less expensive, however, because they aren't large complex machines. With machine weights, you can only do very specific exercises, and with free weights, you can do a wide range of exercises, so in order to do more exercises with a machine weight, you have to buy multiple machines, which can get expensive and takes up a lot of space. Machine weights can also sometimes be adjustable in weight and resistance, whereas free weights are just plain weights.

What are some common issues for special needs individuals that may require special consideration while exercising or playing sports?

Special consideration may be required for those with chronic medical issues. Behavioral issues for those that do not respond to regular discipline can also require special consideration. Those with developmental or learning issues may also require consideration. Finally, mental issues like depression or anxiety are also included.

Compare and contrast static and dynamic flexibility...

Static flexibility is the ability to assume and maintain an extended position, such as gymnast who can perform the splits or a ballerina who can assume and hold a complicated ballet position. Dynamic flexibility involves the ability to move a joint through a full range of motion without much resistance and is influenced by strength, coordination, and static flexibility. Static flexibility is a contributing factor to dynamic flexibility.

Explain why static flexibility tests are more common than dynamic flexibility tests.

Static flexibility tests are more common than dynamic tests because they are easier to replicate. It is difficult to standardize motion-based tests between different subjects, while static tests are simple and easy to standardize because the metrics are fixed and not open to interpretation.

Compare and contrast static and dynamic flexibility.

Static is holding usually 30-60 seconds per stretch. Best way to increase your flexibility. Dynamic is movement based to loosen up joint.

Compare and contrast static and passive stretching.

Static stretching is the most common type of stretching in which you hold a stretch as far as you can stretch it. Passive stretching is when an external force is applied to the limb such as a parter, gravity, or a body weight. *Responses will vary. A sample response follows:* Both static and passive stretching are similar in that limbs are moved into and held in a stretch position. In static stretching, a person actively holds their own limbs in the position, while in passive stretching, a partner moves and holds limbs in the stretch position for the other person.

Based on the information provided in this lesson, what steps can you take at fast food restaurants to minimize bad nutritional choices?

Strategies to help minimize bad nutritional choices include seeking out nutritional information, avoiding fried or sugary foods, limiting portion sizes, substituting unhealthy sides for fruits and vegetables, and drinking water instead of soda.

Explain why it is important to stretch slowly and why bouncing during stretching is very dangerous.

Stretching a muscle slowly prevents it from overextending and being damaged. When stretches occur too quickly, such as with bouncing, the muscle can be seriously damaged during the uncontrolled motions.

Consider the nutrition label that is found on food products. Do you believe it provides relevant information to a potential consumer? Why or why not?

Students are free to agree or disagree but must provide rational support for their answer. For instance, a student may observe that the listed serving sizes are misleading, since people may tend to consume all of a product that contains multiple servings. Other students may find that the layout flows in a logical manner and highlights the majority of essential nutrients.

Toxoplasma gondii

The parasite Toxoplasma gondii causes the infection toxoplasmosis, which is [one of the] a leading causes of death attributed to foodborne illness in the United States. More than sixty million Americans carry Toxoplasma gondii, but very few have symptoms. Typically, the body's immune system keeps the parasite from causing disease. Sources include raw or undercooked meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables. Handling the feces of a cat with an acute infection can also lead to the disease.

How can the principle of overload be applied to a sport, such as tennis or basketball?

The principle of overload can be applied to tennis or basketball by performing particular movements more frequently than normal. This can include taking multiple jumpshots of a similar type, focusing on overhand swings, or ensuring that you sprint down the court instead of walk or jog.

Explain why not everyone can become a bodybuilder, even if they train hard enough.

The reason why not everyone can become a bodybuilder, even if they train hard enough is mainly due to genetic factors that are out of a person'a control. Other factors could be a persons health and fitness conditions or environment. This can hold a person back from getting enough mass muscle mass to be a body builder.

Explain the differences between serving sizes and portion sizes.

The serving size is a measured portion of food with calculated nutritional information. Serving sizes are found on the food labeling. Portion size is the food that's actually consumed during a snack or meal.

Which statement correctly describes the path that an electrical impulse would take after someone touched a hot pot?

The signal travels through the nerve of the hand to the spinal cord and then to the brain.

Which statement BEST describes the skeletal system?

The skeletal system is composed of a rigid structure of bones that support the body and make red and white blood cells.

how deep do the threads of mold go food with mold might also have____ growing with it what conditions mold can thrive in what slows mold growth

The threads are very deep when a food shows heavy mold growth. Foods that contain mold may also have bacteria growing alongside it. [Molds can thrive in acidic foods such as jellies or cured meats. Even through refrigeration and freezing can slow their growth, it does not actually prevent it (as you probably already know having thrown out moldy food when cleaning out the icebox). Mold will grow on any food that is left out at room temperature long enough. Foods contaminated with yeast (another type of fungi) will smell or taste alcoholic.

Define the two types of carbohydrates important to proper nutrition and name two foods where they can be found for each.

The two types of carbohydrates are simple and complex. Simple carbs take less time for the body to absorb and can lead a person to become hungry again quickly. Examples of foods that contain simple carbs include candy, fruit, milk, and many processed foods. Complex carbs take much longer to be absorbed in the body and can satisfy a person's hunger for much longer. Examples of foods that contain complex carbs are wholegrain pasta, brown rice, and many vegetables.

Chemical agents and toxins in our foods also cause illness.

There are naturally-occurring toxins like poisonous mushrooms and some fish. Marine toxins are problematic because cooking won't destroy them.

Explain why living a healthy lifestyle is the most important step in preventing cardiovascular disease.

There is no single step for preventing cardiovascular disease; all aspects of a healthy lifestyle impact cardiovascular fitness. Eating a healthy diet can reduce your dietary cholesterol and help maintain a healthy body weight. Getting regular exercise can also help maintain a healthy body weight as well as strengthen the heart muscle. Avoiding smoking is another part of a healthy lifestyle that can significantly reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Explain why isokinetic exercises cannot generally be performed by individuals at home.

These isokinetic exercises are performed by pushing force against another strong force. In order to maintain this constant force, special and expensive equipment is required. So all in all this exercises are more than likely not preformed at home.

conditions for mold

Warm, humid, or damp conditions encourage mold to grow on food. Molds are microscopic fungi that live on animals and plants. They have stalks with spores that form at the ends. The spores give molds their color and can be transported by air, water, or insects. Spores also enable mold to reproduce

Preparing Food

Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water for at least twenty seconds before preparing food and every time after handling raw foods. Washing hands is important for many reasons. One is to prevent cross-contamination between foods. Also, some pathogens can be passed from person to person, so hand washing can help to prevent this. Fresh fruits and vegetables should also be rinsed thoroughly under running water to clean off pesticide residue. This is particularly important for produce that contains a high level of residue, such as apples, pears, spinach, and potatoes. Washing also removes most dirt and bacteria from the surface of produce.

What is a squat?

Weight training exercise that focuses on thighs, hips, buttocks.

Which statement BEST describes how muscles respond to weight training?

Weight training overloads muscles, which causes the body to respond by making muscle fibers larger.

Which of the following activities would NOT help increase flexibility? A. tai chi B. sunbathing C. playing basketball D. tennis

Which of the following would you expect a woman to be able to do if she was known to have excellent static flexibility? A. hold a difficult ballet pose B. throw a ball quickly C. perform swift, complicated motions D. perform a perfect golf swing

Why is it a myth that aerobic exercise is the only way to burn fat?

While aerobic exercise is a good way to burn fat, weight training is also a great way to burn calories. Weight training has very high energy requirements, so even a moderate weight-training workout can burn a large number of calories.

Explain why not everyone can become a bodybuilder, even if they train hard enough.

While weight training will improve muscle strength and mass, the potential of a body to develop muscle is limited in part by genetic factors that are out of an individual's control. Other health and fitness conditions may also limit a person's ability to build sufficient muscle to qualify as a bodybuilder. As a result, not everyone can become a bodybuilder, even with sufficient training.

campylobacteriosis symptoms

Describe how to determine your maximum heart rate and why heart rate is important to monitor while exercising.

You can determine your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220. It is important to stay within the range of 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate while exercising in order to benefit most from your workout safely. Monitoring heart rate is important because working your heart at maximum capacity or too high actually limits the amount of oxygen your body can get. Your heart rate can be monitored by using a heart monitor or monitoring your pulse during exercise.

Trichinella

[Trichinella is a parasite found in raw or inadequately cooked pork and venison (from infected animals). The disease is called trichinosis and begins roughly one to two days after infection. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. After a couple weeks, however, a person may also experience further symptoms such as headaches, fever, chills, cough, swelling around the eyes, joint pain, muscle pain, and itching. Severe infections can cause heart problems, breathing trouble, and even death. It is important to cook pork and venison to the appropriate temperature for the appropriate period of time to prevent this illness.

Out of the following pathogens, which is responsible for more foodborne illness outbreaks each year? a. Salmonella b. Camplyobacter c. Shigella d. Cryptosporidium

a correct Right! Good job! In 2012, there were 19,531 laboratory-confirmed cases of foodborne illness from biological sources. 7,800 of those infections where from Salmonella, 6,793 from Campylobacter, 2,138 from Shigella, and 1,234 from Cryptosporidium. Other infections included Shiga-toxin producing E coli (STEC) O157 and non-O157, Vibrio, Listeria, Yersinia, and Cyclospora. These are just the reported cases. A lot of food borne illness go unreported by people with relatively mild symptoms who thought they had a stomach virus when, in fact, they had a foodborne illness.

What is the best way to tell if meat is thoroughly cooked? a. use a meat thermometer b. check the color of the meat c. cook it to the time recommended in the recipe d. all of the above are equally useful

a correct Right! Good job! It is important to cook foods thoroughly. Color not reliable indicator of whether or not food is cooked. It is necessary to measure the internal cooking temperature with a thermometer.

a. A public health agency in the U.S. Department of Agriculture responsible for ensuring that the nation's commercial supply of meat, poultry, and egg products is safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled and packaged. b. An agency that leads federal efforts to gather data on foodborne illnesses, investigate foodborne illnesses and outbreaks, and monitor the effectiveness of prevention and control efforts in reducing foodborne illnesses. c. An agency charged with protecting consumers against impure, unsafe, and fraudulently labeled products. This agency regulates foods other than the meat, poultry, and egg products. 1.

Which of the following is least likely to be a reason the elderly are at greater risk of contracting foodborne illnesses? a. They eat a greater variety of foods. b. They have age-related declines in immune functioning. c. They have less gastric acidity. d. They may be deficient in some micronutrients.

a correct Right! Good job! Older adults are at higher risk for food borne illnesses for multiple reasons. As people age, gastric acid production declines which increases risk of bacteria surviving the stomach to cause illness further down in the intestinal tract. Immune function also declines with age. Taste and smell also decline with age making elderly people less likely to sense if food has become spoiled. Elders are also at higher risk of malnutrition which also predisposes people to illness.

Once a toxin has been produced by

a bacteria or fungi, it will remain despite food preparation or preservation techniques. Toxin growth from bacteria depends on how much and what type of bacteria originally contaminated the food and then how long it was left out in the 'danger zone' to grow and produce that toxin.

Select all of the following conditions at which bacteria grow best in our food: [mark all correct answers] a. About 4 hours of time to grow. b. Slightly acidic or neutral pH food c. Highly acidic or salty food. d. Temperature less than 40 degrees F.

ab correct Right! Good job! Bacteria double in number every 20 minutes and after about four hours, their numbers are high enough to sicken people who eat bacteria-contaminated food. In addition, some types of bacteria produce toxins that can accumulate over time and lead to illness. Bacteria need an energy source in which to thrive—our food. Most bacteria prefer foods that are slightly acidic or have a neutral pH and many (but not all!) require oxygen. They also need moisture to grow and thrive in temperatures between 41˚F (5˚C) and 135˚F (57˚C).9 Any temperature inside this range is considered part of the "danger zone." Though many bacteria are killed during the cooking process, foods still can contain a level high enough to render them unsafe if the following occurs: they don't reach the required internal cooking temperature and stay at that temperature for the length of time needed to kill the bacteria (which depends on the type, cut, and size of the food); they contain toxins produced by bacteria during the cooking process; or they become contaminated from another source after the cooking process (cross-contamination). Some bacteria can grow relatively well even under refrigeration.

Individuals should participate in __________ exercises to increase cardiovascular endurance.

aerobic

Which of the following can cause foodborne illness? [mark all correct answers] a. broken glass from a shattered light bulb accidently served in a salad b. wire bristles from a grill brush that have broken off during cleaning and now stick to grilled meat c. a beverage container that is made from pewter (contains lead) and is used to hold orange juice d. raw oysters harvested from contaminated waters are served at a restaurant

all correct Right! Good job! There are three main categories of hazards which can cause food borne illness. The first is biological hazards which consists of bacteria, viruses, prions, parasites, vermin, and fungi (and toxins produced by those). Chemical hazards include contamination of food from cleaning agents or metals that have leached into food while physical hazards would include things like broken glass or pieces of a grill brush winding up in food.

Variety is important for an exercise program because it __________.

alleviates boredom

Toxic mushrooms,

also known as toadstools, can cause severe vomiting and other symptoms. However, only a few varieties are fatal. Toxic mushrooms cannot be made safe by cooking, freezing, canning, or processing. The only way to avoid food intoxication is to refrain from eating them. Mushroom guides can help wild gatherers distinguish between the edible and toxic kinds.

to protect the public and their workers, many farmers now rely on

alternatives to synthetic pesticide use, including crop rotation, natural pesticides, and planting nonfood crops nearby to lure pests away. Some consumers choose to reduce their exposure to pesticides by purchasing organic produce. Organic foods are grown or produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizer, and all growers and processors must be certified by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). However, conventionally-grown produce should be fine for fruits and vegetables that appear on the low-residue list.

Why are vermin considered a cause of food borne illness? [mark all correct answers] a. They can directly infect a human host as a parasite. b. They carry pathogenic organisms into food service areas. c. They leave hair, urine, and droppings in food service areas. d. They track bacteria from one part of a kitchen to another.

bcd correct Right! Good job! Vermin such as cockroaches, flies, and other insects can create contamination by falling into food or leaving behind droppings, which can contain millions of pathogenic microorganisms. They also can track bacteria from one part of the kitchen, such as the garbage can, to another area, including where food is prepared. Rodents and other animals can leave hair, urine, and droppings that present a biological hazard. Rodents also can carry diseases not commonly associated with a foodborne illness, such as hantavirus. Regular pest-control service is crucial in preventing such infestations. Vermin are not parasites, however. We do not get mice infecting and living within our bodies. :)

Vermin include

flies, cockroaches, mice, rats and other animal life that can contaminate food through their feces (which contain millions of pathogenic organisms) or by falling into it themselves. Vermin can also be a source of cross-contamination by tracking pathogens from one area of a kitchen to another. Rodents can leave hair and urine along with their feces in food presenting another source of pathogen contamination. Rodents can cause non-foodborne related illnesses such as the hantavirus. Cleanliness and regular pest-control service is crucial in preventing such infestations.

rotozoa are microscopic organisms that may be spread in

food and water. Several of these creatures pose major problems to food production worldwide. [These are less common sources of foodborne illness, but can live in beef, poultry, and seafood along with the feces of humans and animals. Seafood grown in and/or produce washed in contaminated water can also be a source.

Your friend wants to lose weight around the belly. Your friend is planning to do crunches every day to lose the weight, but is not planning on doing any other exercises. Do you think this strategy will be effective? Why or why not? What can your friend do to increase the pace of weight loss? Explain your answer.

my friend's strategy will not be effective because he only plans to do crunches. It order to get optimal results, one must work out their entire core to lose weight in the belly area. One cannot simpl workout their stomach but their obliques, back, chest, and more. This is a better strategy because this will lose weight in all parts of the belly area and will tire someone out less quickly. This person will have more endurance to workout longer if they are not working out the same muscle over and over again.

In the right conditions, a few molds produce mycotoxins, which are

natural, poisonous substances that can make you sick if they are consumed. Mycotoxins are contained in and around mold threads, and in some cases, may have spread throughout the food. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that mycotoxins affect 25 percent of the world's food crops. They are found primarily in grains and nuts, but other sources include apples, celery, and other produce.

Which of the following is the most common symptom of hypertension?

none of the above

However, there are certain drawbacks. Food processing can reduce the

nutritional content of raw ingredients. For example, canning involves the use of heat, which destroys the vitamin C in canned fruit. Also, certain food additives that are included during processing, such as high fructose corn syrup, can affect the health of a consumer. However, the level of added sugar can make a major difference. Small amounts of added sugar and other sweeteners, about 6 to 9 teaspoons a day or less, are not considered harmful.

The onset of symptoms occurs

one to seven days after eating, and can include stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Another common symptom is blood, pus, or mucus in stool. Once a person has had shigellosis, the individual is not likely to get infected with that specific type again for at least several years.

physical activity

Contamination (chemical contamination) is sometimes due to Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may cause (ex)

pollution. cancer in humans, it now banned, but remains in the environment from previous use. PCBs and methylmercury can bioaccumulate in fish which is why pregnant women, lactating women, and children need to avoid certain types of fish. Pesticides added to foods also cause foodborne illness. Even cleaners and solvents used on food service equipment can transfer into food or beverages and cause illness.

All foods naturally contain small amounts of bacteria. However,

poor handling and preparation of food, along with improper cooking or storage can multiply bacteria and cause illness.

When spotting a bench press, the spotter stands with a straight back, hands under the arms of the lifter, and carefully watches the bar. This demonstrates __________.

Food processing has a number of important benefits,

such as creating products that have a much longer shelf life than raw foods. Also, food processing protects the health of the consumer and allows for easier shipment and the marketing of foods by corporations.

After listening to a long discussion on the skeletal system, you conclude that the skeletal system is important because it __________.

supports the body and makes red and white blood cells

pesticides

synthetic pesticides can leave behind residues, particularly on produce, that can be harmful to human health. In many cases, the amount of pesticide exposure is too small to pose a risk. However, harmful exposures can lead to certain health problems and complications, including cancer. Also, infants and young children are more susceptible to the hazards of pesticides than adults. In addition, using synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers contributes to soil and water pollution and can be hazardous to farm workers.

Avoiding raw (unpasteurized) milk is one way to prevent e.coli. True False

t correct Right! Good job! Proper hand washing, especially after using the restroom or coming in contact with farm animals or their feces; thoroughly cooking meats; avoiding raw milk; and preventing cross-contamination can help prevent sickness from e.coli.

Foodborne viruses are primarily are transmitted when people fail to properly wash their hands after using the bathroom. True False

t correct Right! Good job! Foodborne viruses, which primarily are transmitted when people fail to properly wash their hands after using the bathroom, cause diseases such as hepatitis A and norovirus gastroenteritis. Proper hand washing is the best way to prevent outbreaks of both hepatitis A and norovirus, and foodservice employees who are infected with either of these pathogens or who have symptoms of diarrhea shouldn't prepare foods. Also, shellfish should be purchased only from reputable suppliers who fish in uncontaminated waters.

Defrosting meat on the kitchen counter increases risk of food borne illness. True False

t correct Right! Good job! Keeping meat at room temperature (even if its frozen) promotes bacterial growth. As the meat defrosts, it will get into the "danger zone" allowing bacteria to grow.

Which of the following BEST distinguishes static from passive stretching?

the need for a partner

what is nutrient density of a food?

the relationship between the amount of nutrient present in a food and the kilocalorie content of that food

Most bacteria grow undetected because

they do not change the color or texture of food or produce a bad odor. Freezing and refrigeration slow or stop the growth of bacteria, but does not destroy the bacteria completely. The microbes can reactivate when the food is taken out and thawed. [However, "[s]ome bacteria can grow relatively well [even] under refrigeration, such as Yersinia enterocolitica [and listeria], which often are found in contaminated dairy products,

though many bacteria are killed during the cooking process, foods still can contain a level high enough to render them unsafe if the following occurs:

they don't reach the required internal cooking temperature and stay at that temperature for the length of time needed to kill the bacteria (which depends on the type, cut, and size of the food); they contain toxins produced by bacteria during the cooking process; or they become contaminated from another source after the cooking process

[Prevention of salmonellosis includes

thoroughly cooking foods, preventing cross-contamination, and keeping raw foods separate from cooked foods.]
