Domain 2: Assessment

Front 1

Physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q)

Back 1

Determine safety or risk of exercising. Identifies individuals who need medical evaluation. The client answered yes to one or more questions, if I to a position

Front 2

Extended periods of sitting

Back 2

Can lead to: tight hip flexors, rounding of shoulders, forward head

Front 3

Repetitive movement patterns

Back 3

Can create pattern overload i.e. arms constantly overhead can lead to type latissimus dorsi and weak rotator cuff

Front 4

Dress shoes

Back 4

Constantly plantar flexed position leads to tight gastrocnemius, soleus, and Achilles tendon, causing decreased dorsiflexion and overpronation flat feet

Front 5

Mental stress

Back 5

Can cause elevated heart rate, blood pressure, and ventilation at rest when exercising. Abnormal breathing patterns that cause imbalances in the neck shoulders chest and low back

Front 6

Past injuries/surgeries

Back 6

Strong predictor of future risk of injury. Ankle sprains decrease neural control to gluteus medius and Maximus. Knee injuries decrease neural control to muscles that stabilize kneecap. Non-contact knee injuries are often the result of hip or ankle dysfunction. Low back pain can cause decreased neural control of core stabilization muscles. Shoulder injuries can lead to alter neural control of the rotator cuff.

YMCA three minutes step test

Back 11

Perform 96 steps per minute on 12 inch step for three minutes. Within five seconds of stopping take recovery pulse for 60 seconds match recovery poles to chart:

Zone 1: 65-75% hrmax zone 2: 76-85% zone 3; 86-90%

Front 12

Rockport walk test

Back 12

Record weight. Walk 1 mile on treadmill. Record time. Immediately record heart rate. Calculate the VO to score using the formula. Match the VO to score with age and sex.

Front 13

Radial pulse

Back 13

Measured with 2 Fingers Placed lightly along right side of arm, in-line and just above thumb

Front 14

Carotid pulse

Back 14

Measured on the neck; not a preferred method to use on clients

Front 15

Resting heart rate RHR

Back 15

Heart rate when the body is at rest

Front 16

Blood pressure systolic

Back 16

Pressure within the arteries after the heart contract healthy equals less than 120 mm Hg

Front 17

Blood pressure diastolic

Back 17

Pressure within the arteries when the heart is resting and filling with blood. healthy diastolic equals less than 80 mm Hg

Front 18

Cholesterol

Back 18

Blood lipid associated with cardiovascular disease and obesity

Front 19

HDL

Back 19

High density lipoprotein a.k.a. good cholesterol

Front 20

LDL

Back 20

Low density lipoprotein a.k.a. bad cholesterol

Front 21

Healthy total cholesterol level

Back 21

Less than 200 mg/dL

Front 22

Overweight

Back 22

A person with a BMI of 25 25.9, or is 25 to 30 pounds over recommended weight for height

Front 23

Obesity

Back 23

A person with a BMI of 30 or greater, or is at least 30 pounds over recommended weight for height

Front 24

Skinfold measurements

Back 24

Uses caliber to measure subcutaneous fat

Front 25

4 sites

Back 25

Biceps vertical fold, triceps vertical fold, subscapular 45° fold, iliac crest 45° fold. All on right side of the body

Front 26

Durnin-Wormsely formula

Back 26

Add total of measurements and compare to the solutions table in the textbook to determine body fat percentage

Front 27

Fat

Back 27

Body fat % x scale weight

Front 28

Lean body mass

Back 28

Scale weight - fat mass

Front 29

Bio electrical impedance

Back 29

Conducts electrical current through the body to estimate fat content those things you hold with your hands

Front 30

Underwater weighing

Back 30

Used in exercise physiology lab; lean mass thanks, fat mass flutes; dry weight compared to underwater weight

Front 31

Circumference measurements

Back 31

Assess girth changes in the body; not accurate estimate of fatness. Measure at the neck, chest, waist, hips, calves, and biceps

Front 32

Waist to hip ratio

Back 32

Divide the waist circumference measurement by the measurement

Front 33

Body mass index BMI

Back 33

Not designed to assess body fat. A persons weight compared to his or her height. Risk of chronic disease increases with a BMI of 25 or greater

Front 34
