Transtheoretical Model of Change
precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, reversibility
precontemplation stage
the stage of change in which a person might develop increased awareness of an
opportunity but is not yet thinking seriously about making the change
Contemplation stage
the stage of behaviour change in which a person develops increased belief and
confidence in the possibility of change
Preparation stage
the stage of behaviour change in which a person becomes informed about the
requirements for success and makes plans to implement change
Action stage
the stage of behaviour in which a person takes appropriate steps toward achieving
the desired change
structural tolerance
the principle of physical fitness that suggests that the strengthening of tissues in
and around joints will result in the ability to sustain subsequently greater stresses in
training with greater resistance to injury.
all-around development
the training principle that suggests that people who are well developed through all
components of fitness are less prone to injury, and more likely to have
performance increases in sport and in life.
reversibility
the training principle that suggests that after training ceases, the body gradually
returns to it's pre-training state.
maintenance
the training principle that suggests once a certain level of fitness has been
achieved, it is possible to maintain it at less effort than it took to acquire it
cardiorespiratory capacity
the ability of the body to take in oxygen (respiration), deliver it to the cells
(circulation), and use it at the cellular level to create energy (bioenergetics) for
physical work (activity)
muscular capacity
the full spectrum of muscular capability, including endurance, strength and power
Maintenance stage
the stage of behaviour change in which, after change has occurred, the person
continues with the behaviours required for success.
exercise adherence
the act, or actions, of consistently participating in the assigned physical training
activities
SMART goals
goals expressed in a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive
manner.
FITT
The training principle that suggests that when designing a group fitness class
program, the frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise must be considered.
Individualization
the training principle that suggests that program design must be made to
accommodate every participant's individual needs.
Specificity
the training principle that suggests that if participants want to improve an aspect of
their performance, they have to train that aspect deliberately
Progressive overload
suggests that to improve, participants must continually challenge their fitness. This
occurs through gradually increasing the volume or intensity of the program to
realize ongoing adaptations
Recovery
The training principle that suggests that a post-workout recovery period must allow
the participant to return to the next workout at least as fit as the previous one, if not
more.
Flexibility
Refers to absolute range of motion, or relative range of motion, of a joint as a
result of muscles that cross the joint [Show Less]
