Cardio-Fitness Unit 5 Quiz

The maximum rate at which the body can utilize oxygen during intense exercise.

Predicting VO2 max, diagnosing functional limitations, assessing rehab effectiveness, determining athletic status, and evaluating ADL capabilities for Physical Therapists.

A test used to estimate a maximum value for a specific ability.

A test used to measure an individual's ability or performance in a specific activity.

A unit of measurement for the intensity of physical activity, representing the amount of oxygen consumed per kilogram of body weight per minute.

The ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion (ROM) needed to perform an activity.

The normal range of motion possible for the elbow joint, approximately 140-150 degrees of flexion and 0 degrees of extension.

The normal range of motion possible for the knee joint, approximately 135-150 degrees of flexion and 0 degrees of extension.

Passive Range of Motion: Therapist moves the joint through its range of motion, while the patient relaxes. Used to maintain joint mobility, improve circulation, and prevent stiffness.

Active Assistive Range of Motion: Patient actively moves the joint with some assistance from the therapist. Used to increase strength and range of motion.

Active Range of Motion: Patient moves the joint independently through its full range of motion. Used to improve coordination and motor skills.

The maximum distance a muscle can shorten after being stretched to its full length. This applies when a muscle crosses only ONE joint.

Muscle is fully contracted and cannot produce any more force. This occurs when a muscle crosses TWO joints.

A muscle is fully lengthened and limits movement at one of the joints it crosses. Occurs when a muscle crosses TWO joints.

Muscle contracts without changing length. Used for stabilization, pain reduction, relaxation, and circulation.

Muscle lengthens as it contracts, controlling a resistance. Improves strength and performance.

No muscle contraction even with maximal effort.

Muscle can move slightly but only when gravity is eliminated, like moving the arm in the air, not against gravity.

Muscle can move partway through the range of motion when gravity is eliminated. 2- means less than half, 2 means halfway, and 2+ means more than half.

Muscle can hold the joint against gravity, but no additional resistance.

Muscle can hold the joint against gravity and some resistance.

Muscle can hold the joint against gravity and maximum resistance.

The ability to exert force quickly, measured as force multiplied by distance over time.

Movement where the end of the limb is free, like bicep curls or leg extensions. Typically involves one muscle, one joint, and one plane of motion.

The maximum rate at which your body can use oxygen during intense exercise. It's a measure of your cardiovascular fitness.

A way to measure the intensity of physical activity, reflecting the amount of oxygen your body uses during that activity.

The normal range of motion for your elbow. This is usually around 140-150 degrees of flexion and zero degrees of extension.

Movement focused on multiple joints, with the end of the limb fixed, like a squat or push-up.
