Study Notes

Anthropometry

  • Used to determine body composition, such as body fat percentage and lean body mass

Mobility

  • Hypermobility: excessive range of motion in a joint
  • Hypomobility: restricted range of motion in a joint

Exercise Concepts

  • Power: the ability to generate force quickly
  • Agility: the ability to quickly change direction while maintaining speed
  • Cardiovascular endurance: the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply oxygen to the muscles during sustained physical activity
  • Balance: the ability to maintain equilibrium and stability
  • Reaction time: the time it takes to respond to a stimulus
  • Strength: the ability of the muscles to generate force

Pre-Participation Exam

  • Main objective: to evaluate an athlete's readiness to participate in a sport or physical activity
  • Medical history section: includes questions about past injuries, illnesses, and medical conditions
  • Physical fitness profile: includes assessments of cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, and body composition
  • Comprehensive history section: includes a review of systems, allergies, and medications
  • Not part of the comprehensive history section: social history
  • Auscultation during the cardiovascular exam: used to listen to heart and lung sounds
  • Neurological exam: focus on evaluating the nervous system and identifying any neurological deficits
  • Musculoskeletal exam: gathers information about muscle and joint function
  • Not included in the general medical section: social history
