Study Notes

General Information

  • Subjective information includes general info and medical history.
  • Objective information consists of metrics gathered by trainers, such as blood pressure and postural assessments.

Heart Rate and Blood Pressure

  • Radial pulse is measured on the thumb side.
  • Average pulse rate for clients is typically 70-80 bpm measured for 60 seconds.
  • Target heart rate zones are defined as:
    • Zone 1: 0.65 to 0.75 of maximum heart rate.
    • Zone 2: 0.76 to 0.85 of maximum heart rate.
    • Zone 3: 0.86 to 0.95 of maximum heart rate.
  • Hypertension is diagnosed at 140/90 mmHg.

Body Composition Measurements

  • Skinfold measurement sites include bicep, tricep, subscapularis, and supraliliac areas.
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) classifications:
    • Overweight: 25-29.9
    • Obese: over 30
  • Waist-to-hip ratio risks for heart disease are greater than 0.8 for women and greater than 0.95 for men.

Fitness Assessments

  • YMCA Step Test: 96 steps per minute on a 12-inch bench for 3 minutes; recovery pulse taken for 60 seconds to match against a chart for HR zone classification.
  • Rockport Walk Test involves walking 1 mile as fast as possible while recording time and heart rate.

Kinetic Chain and Postural Distortions

  • Five kinetic chain checkpoints are feet, knees, LPHC (lumbo-pelvic-hip complex), shoulders, head, and neck.
  • Pronation distortion syndrome features flat feet and knock knees.
  • Lower crossed syndrome is characterized by anterior pelvic tilt and arching lower back.
  • Upper crossed syndrome shows rounded shoulders and forward head posture.

Muscle Overactive and Underactive States

  • Conditions leading to excessive forward lean are caused by overactive muscles such as soleus, gastrocnemius, hip flexors, and abdominal complex; underactive muscles include anterior tibialis, gluteus maximus, and erector spinae.
  • Arms falling forward relates to overactive latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major/minor, and teres major; underactive muscles include middle/lower trapezius and rhomboids.

Strength and Endurance Tests

  • Push-up test is used for upper body endurance assessment.
  • Max bench press test is for upper body strength.
  • Squat test evaluates lower body strength.

Specific Tests

  • Davies Test measures upper extremity agility and stabilization with tape markers 36 inches apart for a 15-second tapping trial.
  • Shark's Skill Test assesses lower extremity agility and neuromuscular control.

Overhead Squat Assessment (OHSA)

  • Starting position requires clients to stand flat, feet shoulder-width apart, and arms overhead.
  • Movement involves squatting until the femur is parallel to the ground, with assessments conducted from anterior and lateral views.

Muscle Groups

  • Overactive muscles in knee valgus conditions include tensor fascia latae and adductor complex; underactive muscles are gluteus maximus and tibialis muscles.
  • Low back arches involve overactive hip flexors and lumbar extensors; underactive muscles include gluteus maximus and hamstrings.
