What are the 7 most common chronic diseases? |
Cardiovascular disease; hypertension; high cholesterol; stroke; respiratory disease; obesity; diabetes |
|
|
Why was there a rise in demand for personal training? |
A rise in obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases, and longer life expectations |
|
|
How can most chronic diseases be managed? |
Early detection, treatment, and healthy living |
|
|
Obesity |
The condition of being considerably overweight by over 30 pounds or having a BMI over 30 |
|
|
Overweight |
The condition of being 25-30 pounds over the recommended weight for one’s height or having a BMI of 25-29 |
|
|
What fractions of Americans can be categorized as overweight or obese? |
Roughly 2/3 |
|
|
To which chronic diseases is excessive body weight linked? |
Cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, some types of cancer |
|
|
Muscle imbalance |
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint |
|
|
What is a primary cause for a lack of physical activity? |
Low back pain, knee injuries, and shoulder & neck pain |
|
|
Roughly what percentage of adults are affected by low-back pain? |
80% |
|
|
What effect can sitting for longer than three hours at a time, working in enclosed spaces, and manual labor create on the human body? |
Low-back pain |
|
|
What injury is reported to have around 80,000 to 100,000 cases each year? |
ACL injury |
|
|
Of the ACL injuries that occur each year, around 70% are what kind of injury? |
Non-contact injuries |
|
|
What is the average age for most ACL injuries? |
Between 15 and 25 years old |
|
|
What helps to alleviate the occurrence of non-contact injuries? |
Enhancing neuromuscular stabilization |
|
|
What is the estimated value of lost work time due to injury? |
$120 billion |
|
|
Power |
The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest amount of time |
|
|
What are the three adaptations/levels of the Optimum Performance Training Model? |
Stabilization, strength, power |
|
|
The OPT model |
A systematic, integrated, and functional training program that simultaneously improves biomotor abilities and builds high levels of functional strength, neuromuscular efficiency, and dynamic flexibility |
|
|
What are the components of integrated training? |
Flexibility, cardiorespiratory, core, balance, reactive (plyometric), speed, agility, and quickness (SAQ), and resistance training |
|
|
Which OPT level increases muscular endurance and neuromuscular efficiency? |
Stabilization |
|
|
What are some stabilization training strategies? |
Proprioceptively based (increases in challenge come from challenging balance and stabilization systems more), low loads, high repetition |
|
|
What are the 3 phases of the Strength level? |
Phase 2: strength endurance, Phase 3: hypertrophy, Phase 4: maximal strength |
|
|
Which level of the OPT model increases prime mover strength while maintaining stabilization endurance adaptations? |
Phase 2: strength endurance |
|
|
Which training strategy is used in Phase 2: strength endurance? |
Supersets of strength and stabilization exercises |
|
|
Which training strategy uses high volume, high to moderate loads, and moderate or maximal soft tissue growth? |
Hypertrophy |
|
|
Which training strategy uses high loads, low reputations, and longer rest periods? |
Maximal strength |
|
|
What are 3 goals of Phase 5 of the OPT model? |
Enhanced neuromuscular efficiency; enhanced prime mover strength; increased rate of force production |
