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.
