Explain what muscle balance entails. |
Proper ratio of strength, power or endurance relative to another muscle group |
|
Method of prescribing isotonic load assignments. |
- 1-RM - 3-6 rep max - 10 RM |
|
Specificity considerations for strength testing. |
- sport movement muscles - movement pattern and contraction type (isometric vs dynamic- concentric or eccentric) - contraction velocity |
|
Differences in cardiac variables between trained and untrained individuals at sub max power output. |
- greater stroke volume; no difference in oxygen uptake or heart rate
At max vo2: - 50% increase VO2 - greater stroke volume - 50% increase VO2 - greater a-v O2 difference - max HR remains the same or decreases among trained |
|
What is the function of beta blockers? |
- reduce myocardial oxygen needs - reduce heart rate and myocardial contraction vigor - block beta adrenergic receptors in heart from epinephrine and norepinephrine - reduce sub max and max heart rate - for CAD and hypertension |
|
How to calculate the training heart rate (intensity) following a progressive exercise test to exhaustion. |
- % HRR (oxygen uptake reserve vo2r) - similar to % vo2 max for average or high fitness level - HRR= (max HR - rest HR) - indirect calculation of target heart rate range: HR - vo2 linear - THR range= HRR (%) + rest HR - 60-80% vo2 max recommended - RPE 12-16 |
|
Define first, second and third class levers. |
First class: axis in centre, force arm = resistance arm Eg, neck Second class: axis on one end, resistance in between axis and force, force arm > resistance arm Eg, ankle Third class: axis on one end, force in between axis and resistance, resistance arm > force arm Eg, elbow |
|
Type of muscle action with greatest force achieved throughout complete ROM? |
Eccentric- muscle activated, force produced, muscle lengthens |
|
Muscle action that generates force but cannot overcome external resistance to shorten sarcomere fibers and cause joint movement and produce external work |
Isometric static action |
|
How does a muscle get stronger? Examples of precise and systematic exercise methods. |
Apply overload/tension to the muscle's current force generating capacity - progressive resistance weight - isometric - isokinetic |
|
Improvement phase of strength training. Acceptable changes in routine? |
- increasing frequency per week (muscle groups on non-consecutive days) |
|
What does an ECG monitor and what kind of exercise contraindications can it detect? |
- monitor heart rate - post MI - ischemic ST segment changes - conduction defects - left ventricular hypertrophy |
|
Describe the electrical deflections and mechanical events representing the precedent to a heart beat |
P wave: atrial depolarization and contraction QRS complex: ventricular depolarization - ventricular contraction, atrial repolarization(very small) T wave: ventricular repolarization (ventricular diastole)
*.2-.3sec depolarization - refractory period- ventricular refilling between beats |
