Question | Answer |
---|---|
an index for measuring obesity. | BMI |
happens when a joint, such as the ankle or knee, is moved past its normal and safe range of motion | sprain |
a process of designing work areas and devices to accommodate human physical characteristics | ergonomics |
a muscle that crosses the affected joint is injured instead of a ligament. | strain |
methods of treatment | modalities |
exercise is cardiovascular in nature, where fat loss or muscle toning is the focus | aerobic |
more effective than dry heat | moist heat |
sets up and monitors a workout schedule and diet designed to meet the specific goals of each client. | CPT |
exercise is directed toward increasing muscle mass. | anaerobic |
specialists who study the athlete’s performance. | CSCS |
can be used to gauge cardiovascular fitness by assessing the athlete’s efficiency of oxygen consumption and cardiac output | V02 max test |
not involving oxygen | anaerobic |
the study of movement of the body | kinesiology |
certified strength and conditioning specialist. | CSCS |
pathways use oxygen in manufacturing ATP. | aerobic |
research the effects of exercise on the human body. | exercise physiologists |
awareness of posture, movement, and change in the equilibrium of the body | propioception |
exercise performed by the health care employee that moves the joints through their available range | passive range of motion |
machine that holds and heats gel-filled packs for hot therapy | hydrocollator |
a simple way to remember the process of a evaluation is by using the acronym: | SOAP |
when the blood vessels dilate | vasodilatation |
involves passing a low electrical current through the body and determining the resistance to the current. | electrical impedance test |
a persons weight in water is comparedd to their weight out of the water | hydrostatic testing |
determines body fat percentages | body fat caliper |
used when swelling reduction is the primary focus. | cold thearpy |
Assesses injured players, provides acute care for injuries and conveys information on the athlete’s injury to medical personnel. | job duties an ATC (certified athletic trainer) may perform on the athletic field. |
Height, weight, resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, body fat percentage, circumferential measurements of arms, thighs, chest, waist, and hips. | measurements a personal trainer will use to set a client’s goals. |
What exercise uses oxygen to produce energy for the muscle, Examples are distance running and cross-country skiing. | Aerobic |
What exercise uses ATP already present in the cell for energy and does not invlove oxygen. Examples are sprinting, high jumping, and low repetition, high resistance weightlifting | Anaerobic |
What specialist focuses on the improvement of athletic performance. | CSCS (certified strength and conditioning specialist) |
What specialist focuses on the improvement of physical characteristics and fitness level. | CPT (certified personal trainer) |
Two common tests an exercise physicologist can perform. | Stress and V02 max tests |
therapists evaluate range of motion, strength, balance, proprioception, neuromuscular coordination, and swelling and note deficits. | areas a sports physical therapist will evaluate for deficits |
Subjective findings; Objective measurements; Assessment of deficits and short and long term goal setting; Plan of care to achieve goals is called | SOAP notes |
It is important to test the client’s sensitivity to a light touch during hot and cold applications to | be sure he or she has sufficient feeling to notice if the skin is getting too hot or cold. |
If the client has an adverse effect from a treatment or test you should | stop the treatment immediately and contact the supervisor or primary therapist. Give the appropriate first aid, if needed. |
Appropriate temperature for a hydrocollator is | 155-163° F. |
Acute injury less than 48 hours old with localized swelling, numbness or compromised feeling, active infection, cancer in the treatment area, blood clot is | reasons not to use heat treatments. |
Numbness or compromised feeling, decreased circulation, extremely large area is | reasons not to use cold treatments. |
Used to promote relaxation and increase blood flow to an area. | heat |
Used to decrease swelling and blood flow. Cold can also be used to decrease muscle spasms. | cold |
A record number of Americans are obese. This means they have a body mass index (BMI) | greater than 30 |
If a person has a BMI less than 20 he/she is considered | underweight |
