Study Notes

KIN 101 Exam 1 Review

  • Exam Content: Covers Movement Science, Graduate/Certificate Info for Careers, LEC 1.1A, 1.1B, 1.3A, 1.3B, 1.4A, 1.4B
  • Exam Format: 25 multiple choice/true/false/multiple answer questions, 25 points, 40 minutes, using RESPONDUS.
  • Introduction to Movement Science: Defines Kinesiology, Motor Behavior, Biomechanics, Exercise and Health Psychology, and Exercise Physiology.

Kinesiology

  • Kinesiology: Study of human motion, healthy and diseased states including trauma and disuse.
  • Motor Behavior: Study of psychological/physiological processes affecting movement performance.
  • Biomechanics: Uses physics to study biological systems and human motion.
  • Exercise and Health Psychology: Examines the relationship between biology, behavior, and social context and health/illness/exercise.
  • Exercise Physiology: Studies how exercise impacts the human body's physiological processes.

Clinical Exercise Science

  • Clinical Exercise Science: Focuses on exercise prescription to prevent/treat chronic illnesses through assessments and preventative/treatment strategies.

Sport Science and Performance Programming

  • Sport Science: Focuses on optimizing physical abilities in sports, occupations, and tactical populations.
  • Resistance Training: Builds muscular strength, anaerobic endurance, and muscle size using resistance exercises.
  • Sport Psychology: Examines how psychological factors influence performance and uses psychological skills to maximize performance under pressure.

Careers

  • Kinesiology (KIN):
    • Physical Therapist
    • Physician's Assistant
    • Occupational Therapist
  • Clinical Exercise Science (CES):
    • Health Fitness Specialist
    • Clinical Exercise Physiologist
    • Corporate Wellness Specialist
  • Sport Science and Performance (SSP): (Specific careers not listed)

Evidence-Based Practice

  • Consequences of NOT using EBP: Poor health outcomes, patient dissatisfaction, loss of license/legal action, and patient death.
  • Intuition vs. Media: Decisions should not be based on intuition or popularity in media.

Scientific Method

  • Steps: Define problem, search literature, develop hypothesis, design/perform experiment, analyze data, interpret data, and report results.
  • Example: Example (in the provided text) People with PD fall a lot. Research examined effects of exercise on fall frequency in PD. Researchers hypothesised that more steps would mean less falls. They developed a plan, tested it and saw that it worked.. Results were published.
  • Primary vs. Secondary Sources: Primary sources are first-hand accounts (e.g., researchers' data/experiments), secondary sources are summaries and evaluations (e.g., meta-analyses).
  • Quality of Evidence: Avoid low-quality sources; look for peer-reviewed articles in reputable journals and from institutions. Look for detailed references.

Variables in a Study

  • Independent Variable (IV): The variable being manipulated in a study.
  • Dependent Variable (DV): The variable being measured (the effect or outcome).
    • Example (in the provided article): Disease status (e.g., Parkinson's or not) is the independent variable and reaction time is the dependent variable.
  • Control Variable (CV): Variable held constant to ensure the changes seen are due to the IV.
