Cardiac Output - ANWERSThe amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute. The amount of blood put out by the left ventricle
... [Show More] of the heart in one contraction is called the stroke volume. The stroke volume and the heart rate determine this.
- typically about 5L/min at rest
- will be higher if physically fit (max of 40L/min)
- for unfit, 14-20L/min max
Stroke Volume - ANWERSRefers to the volume of blood that is pumped by the heart with each contraction
- during PA, it will increase until intensity reaches ~50% of VO2 max, then HR will increase the cardiac output
- for physically fit people, SV is likely to be higher and RHR likely to be lower
Blood Pressure - ANWERSRefers to the pressure blood exerts on walls of blood vessels, and reflects efficiency of blood flow through the CV system
- systolic: heart contracting
- diastolic: heart relaxing
120/80 is normal
144/94 max safe ranges
normal BP for healthy, active adult is 110/70
- during PA, systolic will rise slightly and diastolic will remain roughly the same
Heart Rate - ANWERSnumber of heart beats/minute
- RHR average 60-80bpm
- higher RHR for women
- lower RHR with age

Most Valid and Direct measure of VO2 Max - ANWERSFor aerobic fitness the gold standard test is considered to be a direct measurement of a client's maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max). This test is performed in a lab where the actual amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide breathed in and out during maximal exercise can be measured as it is breathed into a bag or tank. As this test directly measures the maximal amount of oxygen used this is considered a very valid test to measure aerobic capacity.
Absolute VO2 Max - ANWERSdoes not consider a person's weight
Relative VO2 Max - ANWERSconsiders a person's weight
Muscular Strength - ANWERSrefers to the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximal effort.
Muscular Endurance - ANWERSthe ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force against resistance
Muscular Power - ANWERSthe ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in accelerating, jumping and throwing implement
Muscular Flexibility - ANWERSrefers to the absolute range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion.
Third Class Lever - ANWERSThe force is applied between the fulcrum and the load. Therefore the load lever arm is always greater than the force lever arm. A classic example is a pair of tweezers or a diving board.
Mechanical Advantage = Less than 1
Most muscles in the human body are 3rd class levers and create rotation of the distal segment. With this type of leverage the muscles would be acting concentrically, as long as the distal lever is free.
An example of this type of lever system is the biceps brachii acting concentrically on the forearm.
Sedentary Behaviour - ANWERSrefers to any waking activity characterized by an energy expenditure of = 1.5 METs
Physiological Response to Sedentary Behaviour - ANWERS- increases the risk of certain cancers
- may contribute to anxiety and depression
- risk factor for some CV diseases
- more likely to develop CAD
- decrease in skeletal muscle mass
- high BP and increased cholesterol levels
Self Efficacy - ANWERSinvolves and individual's expectations about their ability to engage in or execute a specific behaviour
has been shown to influence the goals people set, ability to persist in the face of obstacles, and capacity to cope with setbacks and stress
Social Cognitive Theory - ANWERSactions, thoughts, and feelings related (directly) to self-efficacy - have an impact
SELF EFFICACY IS CENTRAL THEME
past performance, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, physiological/affective states, behaviour, cognitions, affect
*** people learn through experiences
*** considers behaviour change and maintenance to be a function of self efficacy and outcomes that result (perceived benefits of performing the behaviour)
*** people build their beliefs based on learning through observation and experience
Recriprocal Determinism - ANWERSa dynamic interaction between the individual, their environment, and their behaviour (response to stimuli)
Key Factors of SCT - ANWERS1) self efficacy: the belief one has the capability to perform the behaviour resulting in the expected outcome
2) outcomes: the belief that performance of a behaviour will produce a specific outcome (or the expected consequences/perceived benefits of a behaviour)
*1 and 2 are similar, yet different and must be aligned for behaviour change. the more specific the behaviour, the stronger the relationship is
Self-Determination Theory - ANWERS- focuses on the degree to which an individual's behaviour is self-motivated and self-determined, and the processes through which an individual acquires the motivation to initiate new behaviours and maintain them over time
- assumes that people are inherently motivated to seek out new challenges and eager to succeed
Amotivation - ANWERSno intention or desire to engage in new behaviour
External Regulation - ANWERSindividual is motivated by external forces such as pressure from others
Introjected Regulation - ANWERSindividual takes on the behaviour without fully accepting it as their own (eg; to prove they can)
Identified Regulation - ANWERSindividual consciously recognizes a goal as personally important
Integrated Regulation - ANWERSgoals are fully assimilated with self, so they are included in a person's self-evaluation and beliefs about personal needs
4 Sources of Self-Efficacy - ANWERS1. mastery experience
2. vicarious experience
3. social persuasion
4. emotional state
Mastery Experience - ANWERSsuccessful experiences boost self-efficacy, while failures erode it
- most rebust source of self efficacy
Vicarious Experience - ANWERSobserving a peer succeed at a task can strengthen beliefs in one's own abilities
Social Persuasion - ANWERScredible communication and feedback can guide someone through a task or motivate them to make their best effort
Emotional State - ANWERSa positive mood can boost one's self efficacy, while anxiety can undermine it
- certain level of emotional stimulation can create an energizing feeling that can contribute to strong performance
- reducing stress and lowering anxiety around specific tasks can also help
Trans-Theoretical Change Model - ANWERSbasic premise is that people change habitual behaviours slowly, passing through a series of specific stages, each characterized by a particular pattern of psycho social and behavioral changes
Pre-Contemplation - ANWERSnot ready to make a change
"my dad never exercised and he lived to be 100, so I can too"
"I've tried, but nothing works"
** i won't, i can't **
ackowledge + confirm autonomy + reframe
Contemplation - ANWERSindividual is planning to make a change in the next few months. while aware of the benefits of change and increasingly dissatisfied with the results of not changing, they have not yet resolved their ambivalence
"I really should exercise, but I never seem to get in gear"
** i may **
acknowledge + encourage further consideration
Preparation - ANWERSindividual decided to take action and is actively planning to do so in the immediate future
motivators are defined and strong and the ambivalence has been addressed
"I've been planning to start walking in the mornings and I have holidays next week so I thought it would be a good time to start"
boundary between this stage and the next is particularly fluid as individuals commonly move back and forth between planning action and actually taking action
** i will **
praise, support planning
Action - ANWERSindividual is committed to the new behaviour and consistently engaging in it
"I'm biking 3x a week and I have way more energy. I feel better too, what a feeling!"
** i am **
praise + reinforce
Maintenance - ANWERSsomeone has adopted the new behaviour and done it for several months. the new behaviour is firmly established and the individual is confident in his or her ability to stick with it. although several attempts at change are likely before maintenance is reached, the progression through the process may in fact strengthen behaviour change as individuals learn from past regressions
** i still am **
track progress
Theory of Planned Behaviour - ANWERSpostulates that individuals will engage in a behaviour when they evaluate it positively, believe that significant others want them to engage it, and perceive it to be under control
Behavioural Beliefs - ANWERSshape one's attitudes toward a behaviour
Normative Beliefs - ANWERSrefer to the perceived behavioural expectations of others
eg; perceptions of what others will think they should do and their inclination to comply
Control Beliefs - ANWERSrefers to an individual's perceived control over the behaviour
Health Action Approach (HAPA) - ANWERSprovides a framework of motivational and volitional constructs that help explain and predict individual changes in health behaviours
initiation, adoption, and maintenance of health behaviours is a structured process that includes a motivation phase and a volition phase
Open Ended Questions - ANWERS- cannot simply be answered with 'yes' or 'no'
"what is it that brings you here today?"
"what is working or not working in your life right now?"
"what would you like to be different?"
Active Listening - ANWERS- affirmations, paraphrasing, summarizing, reflection on feelings
- can be used to accurately demonstrate understanding of the info client has shared
Content Reflections - ANWERSmostly to confirm your understanding and demonstrate you are listening
- paraphrasing
"So you are here because your wife wants you to lose weight and you'd rather exercise than go on a diet"
Feeling/Meaning Reflections - ANWERSmostly to demonstrate empathy
- acknowledging how something makes the client feel is a powerful way to build rapport and encourage the client to disclose other feelings
"i sense that you are feeling a bit embarrassed about your weight"
Amplified Negative Reflections - ANWERSa way of exaggerating the benefits (or minimizing the harm) associated with the harmful behaviour
may take the form of "so you see no benefit in changing your activity levels" or "being sedentary is all positive for you"
- mostly to address the resistance from the clients stuck on the "yes, but"
such an approach can help draw out and exhaust the client's negativity
Double-Sided Reflections - ANWERScan be used to acknowledge that the practitioner heard the client's reasons both for and against change
-- another form of paraphrasing
they typically take the form of "on the one hand, you would like to be more active, but on the other hand that might mean watching less TV" or "you are torn about spending time being more active"
Action Reflections - ANWERSoften used after a client has moved beyond ambivalence and into action planning, these reflect possible solutions to the client's barriers or a potential course of action
usually reflect a potential concrete step that the client has directly or obliquely mentioned
- can include multiple choices to support the client's autonomy
once the client has made a commitment and moves into action planning
Maintaining "Sustained Talk" - ANWERSresistance to change will sometimes be evident in a client's sustained talk (eg; as clients articulate reasons for sticking with their current behaviour as part of the process for resolving their ambivalence) instead of offering counter arguments, the skilled motivational interviewer allows clients to express their reasons for not undertaking change without feeling pressured to change or worrying about being judged for not wanting to change
AAL-Q - ANWERSclient's answers to this form may help to clarify any functional limitations that my affect a client's ability to complete the fitness assessment (aerobic and MSK protocols) and ultimately will inform the discussion about what kinds of physical activity are best suited to the client's needs - NOT A RISK SCREENING TOOL
PASB-Q - ANWERSprovides an approximation of clients' PA and SB for a typical week
FANTASTIC Lifestyle Checklist - ANWERSregular PA, good dietary habits, not smoking, getting enough sleep and having supportive relationships have strong influences on an indivual's health and well being
family & friends, activity, nutrition, tobacco habits, sleep, stress, and physical activity
HR Max and HRR - ANWERSVO2 max is considered to be the most valid measure of aerobic power (ability of the heart, lungs, and blood to deliver oxygen toe the muscles and the ability of muscles to use that energy during physical activity in a given time period)

4. IF CLIENT LOSES BALANCE DURING THE FIRST 3 SECOND OF EYES CLOSED TEAT, ALLOW A SECOND TRY TO ALLOW FOR POTENTIAL SET UP ERROR
principles and techniques of client entered exercise prescriptions - ANWERSIdentifying what clients need to do to improve their fitness and health
assessment can act as a benchmark against which they will measure their future progress
may need little motivational coaching to understand and follow the "prescription" you can develop with them to meet their goals
consider client motivational needs and stage of readiness to initiate and sustain a program
reaching conclusion for themselves will increase clients' motivation and commitment to changing long term behaviours
overload - ANWERSthe training stimulus must be greater than that to which the body is accustomed
this can be achieved by the different TYPES of activity by increasing frequency, intensity, duration or number of reps
trick is to find training zone for aerobic and musculoskeletal fitness that are sufficiently challenging to evoke physiological adaptation
progression - ANWERSas the body physiological capacities expand in response to overload, the workout must be increased to ensure continued commitment
- initial stage: 1-4 weeks, habitation stage, low aerobic intensity, light activity, body weight based resistance
- building stage: 2-6 months, progressively advancing the frequency, duration and intensity
- maintenance stage: focus on preserving clients fitness level and may involve slight decrease from frequency and duration achieved in building phase. Key is to maintain overall volume sufficient to avoid detraining effect
specificity - ANWERSthe demand placed on the body dictates the type of adaptation. Hence training effects are specific to the energy system
reversibility - ANWERSdiscontinuting or lowering the intensity or volume will gave a detraining effect. The losses can be regained by resuming the program. one session per week ca be effective in maintaining fitness during a short time
individuality - ANWERSprinciples, plans and adaptations do not apply in the same way to everyone
keep things focused on the clients needs and defined by their starting fitness level
exercise prescription designed for health - ANWERSthose who have been physically inactive and are deconditioned
key priority is to getting moving
focus is initially on duration and frequency before increasing intensity
moderate intensity and initial prescription may not include resistance training until the client reaches a certain level of fitness
flexibility training is a good idea f they have the time and motivation
exercise prescription designed for fitness - ANWERSthose who are somewhat at least active and seeking to improve their overall fitness
moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic activities and/or and increased focus on resistance training
key build on existing individuals to achieve desired physiological adaptation
exercise prescription designed for performance - ANWERSrecreational athlete or occupation requires high level of fitness
soccer player need to improve cardiovascular endurance
importance of an effective warm up and cool down - ANWERSwarm up is intended to prepare the muscles and cardiorespiratory system for the endurance phase, entails engaging in activity similar to that of what the client will be doing. The cool down would involve slowly easing back on the intensity to allow the body heart and respiration rates to gradually and safely return to normal levels *** static stretching after this***
safe and effective weight management program - ANWERSsustainable eating practices and daily physical activity and its important that the clients set modest weight loss goals that are realistic and attainable
fat stores can be reduced by a whole body energy imbalance brought on BY A DECREASE IN ENERGY INTAKE AND INCREASE IN ENERGY OUTPUT or a combination of both
reduce energy intake/or increase energy output by 500kcals/day to lose 0.5 kg per week or 1,000kcals per day to lose 1.0 kg per week
this preserves lean body mass and avoids slowing of the metabolism, this approach is more modest and attainable
a 0.5kj/week weight loss can be achieved by combining a small reduction of food intake of 250 kcals/day along with an increase in physical activity energy of 250 kcal per day
for deconditioned individuals multiple boosts of aerobic activity lasting at least 10 minutes may be a good starting point, some considerations should be give to non weight bearing activities to avoid risk of injury in those very overweight or obese
emergency action plan - ANWERSPrepare to deal with cardiovascular and/or musculoskeletal complications
Written document with proper procedures for caring for injuries and dealing with emergencies
Conduct emergency drills and practice CPR scenarios on a routine basis
EAP should be clearly defined and posted in a visible location
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY: If a client experiences dizziness or loss of consciousness immediately have them lie in a supine position and elevate the legs.
Client should remain in this position until their blood pressure returns to pre exercising level
If a more serious incident occurs, provide emergency treatment such as CPR/AED, request emergency services and advise the clients personal physician
An incident report should br sent to the clients family and doctor
inherent risks - ANWERSwhile physical activity is safe for most people, injuries do occur despite fault not being attributable to any one person (i.e. the risks are inseparable from the activity)
ordinary negligence - ANWERSoccurs when fault can be attriuvted to either the facility or exercise professional or participant
gross negligence - ANWERSrefers to deliberate or reckless conduct (eg where exercise professional has prior knowledge risks and does not take steps to correct it)
product defects/product liability - ANWERSwhere the manufacturers of a product is at fault due to inadequate warning about their use
liability exposure - ANWERSoccurs in situations wheres injury is attributable to the exercise professional. The following categories are:
employment issues (inadequte staff training)
pre exercise health screening (failure to provide adequate pre screen or assessment)
exercise prescription (inured due to inappropriate instruction)
