#1
Front (Question)

4 main types of exercise

Back (Answer)

• Cardiorespiratory • Flexibility • Neuromotor • Resistance

#2
Front (Question)

Neuromotor exercise

Back (Answer)

• exercise that maintains a desired position (balance), demands accurate or smooth movements (coordination) or the ability to change body positions quickly (agility)

#3
Front (Question)

Resistance exercise

Back (Answer)

• challenges muscles to produce low to moderate force over long durations (endurance), low to moderate force over short durations (power) or high force regardless of duration (strength)

#4
Front (Question)

Exercise session components

Back (Answer)

• Warm up • Main session • Cool down

#5
Front (Question)

Principles of exercise prescription

Back (Answer)

• overload • reversibility • specificity • individuality • FITT-VP

#6
Front (Question)

Overload principle

Back (Answer)

• to stimulate physiologic adaptation, exercise demands must exceed the minimum threshold of current capacity

#7
Front (Question)

Overload principle: 10% guideline

Back (Answer)

• increases of less than 10% meet the min threshold to stimulate physiologic adaptation and avoid adverse events

#8
Front (Question)

Reversibility principle

Back (Answer)

• detraining effect • to maintain physiological adaptations volume may be decreased but intensity must be maintained

#9
Front (Question)

Specificity principle

Back (Answer)

• physiological adaptations to exercise are specific to the demands of the exercise

#10
Front (Question)

Specificity- biomechanics

Back (Answer)

• neurological, muscular and skeletal adaptations

#11
Front (Question)

Specificity- metabolic

Back (Answer)

• cardioresp and energy system adaptations

#12
Front (Question)

Individuality principle

Back (Answer)

• physiological adaptations to exercise varies btwn individuals

#13
Front (Question)

Factors affecting adaptation

Back (Answer)

• age • genetics • nutrition • fitness • sleep • alcohol/drugs • medical conditions/history • symptoms • medications

#14
Front (Question)

FITT-VP

Back (Answer)

• Frequency: how often • Intensity: how difficult • Type: what kind • Time: how long • Volume: what amount 6: Progression: how should it be made more challenging

#15
Front (Question)

Frequency: resistance exercise

Back (Answer)

• greater than 2 days per week

#16
Front (Question)

Intensity: resistance exercise

Back (Answer)

• endurance: 50-65% of 1 RM or 12-20 reps • strength: 65-80% of 1 RM or 8-12 reps • power: 0-65% of 1 RM or bodyweight to 12 reps

#17
Front (Question)

Type: resistance exercise

Back (Answer)

• exercises engaging multiple joints and opposing major muscle groups • bodyweight, elastic bands, weights etc.

#18
Front (Question)

Progression : resistance exercise

Back (Answer)

• endurance: increase sets and reps, decrease rest • strength: 2 on 2 guideline, increase intensity (10%) • power: increase speed and intensity (10%)

#19
Front (Question)

Physiological adaptations to exercise

Back (Answer)

• cardiorespiratory • resistance • whole body

#20
Front (Question)

Cardiorespiratory adaptations to exercise: central

Back (Answer)

• increased SV • decreased RHR • increased BV • increased hemoglobin • increased arteriole

#21
Front (Question)

Cardiorespiratory adaptations to exercise: peripheral

Back (Answer)

• increased capillarization • increased myoglobin • increased mitochondria • increased type 1 muscle fibres

#22
Front (Question)

Resistance exercise adaptations: neural

Back (Answer)

• increased motor firing rate, recruitment and synchronization • decreased agonist-antagonist activation

#23
Front (Question)

Resistance exercise adaptations: muscular

Back (Answer)

• increased muscle fiber size • increased lean body mass

#24
Front (Question)

Resistance exercise adaptations: metabolic

Back (Answer)

• increased anaerobic enzymes • increased insulin sensitivity
