Study Notes
Equipment and Resistance
- Dumbbells and bands (superbands, mini bands) provide constant resistance during workouts.
- Chains can vary resistance based on movement position.
Lung Capacity
- Average vital capacity of human lungs is between 4000 to 6000 mL.
Nervous System
- The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, including those involved in exercise.
Body Fat Percentage
- Average body fat percentage for females ranges from 20 to 27 percent.
Neural Function
- Reflexes are processed directly by the spinal cord, bypassing the brain.
Human Spine Anatomy
- The thoracic portion of the human spine consists of 12 vertebrae.
Heart Attack Symptoms
- Symptoms of a heart attack may include shortness of breath.
Gas Exchange in Lungs
- In the alveoli, air crosses into and out of capillaries through diffusion.
Self-Determination Theory
- The psychological need for competence refers to the need to feel effective and capable in one’s actions.
Chronic Health Conditions
- Asthma is characterized by bronchial spasms that hinder effective breathing.
Cortisol Effects
- Short-term elevation of cortisol can lead to increased blood pressure and appetite.
Client Assessments
- The squat or overhead squat assessment is classified as a dynamic movement assessment.
Kinetic Chain Movements
- Movements that maintain a fixed distal end of the body segment are known as closed kinetic chain movements.
Perceived Exertion
- RPE 7 to 8 corresponds to deep and forceful breathing that makes speaking uncomfortable during exercise.
Krebs Cycle Location
- The Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occur in the mitochondria of cells.
Client Acquisition
- Obtaining client referrals from existing clients is the most effective strategy for attracting new clients.
Diabetes Risk Factors
- Ethnicity is identified as a risk factor for developing diabetes.
Largest Lymphatic Organ
- The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the body.
Scope of Practice for Personal Trainers
- Certified personal trainers can assist clients with exercise programming, but not medical or mental health issues.
Muscle Fiber Recruitment
- According to the size principle, muscle fibers are recruited from smallest to largest during activity.
ISSA Code of Ethics
- Fitness professionals must accurately represent their services and provide factual information to clients.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
- A normal BMI falls within the range of 18.5 to 24.9.
BMI Calculation
- Body mass index is calculated using a person's weight in relation to their height.
Supplements
- Stimulants can elevate heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure.
Motivational Interviewing
- Its primary goal is to help individuals uncover their personal motivations for change.
Neuron Classification
- Sensory neurons are responsible for conveying tactile, auditory, and visual information.
Heart Rate Zones
- Zones 4 and 5 are generally classified as anaerobic heart rate zones.
Trainer Responsibilities
- Trainers should actively observe for gym safety issues, such as trip hazards or broken equipment.
Predictable Movement Patterns
- Kinetic chain checkpoints represent anatomical locations where movement dysfunctions can be identified.
Fitness Assessments for Special Populations
- The PACER test is a fitness assessment commonly used for youth populations.
Target Market Definition
- A target market refers to the specific group of consumers a product or service is aimed at.
Physiological Differences in Children
- Children have smaller airways and more soft tissue compared to adults.
