Exercise Physiology Quiz One

The study of how our bodies' structures and functions are altered when we are exposed to acute and chronic bouts of exercise (deals with performance, prevention, and rehabilitation)

Applies exercise physiology concepts to an athlete's training and performance (not a lot of $)

Uses exercises as a model to determine alterations that take place with physiological related processes (how exercise improves health)

Cardiopulmonary and/or special population groups that require specific lifestyle interventions

Responses to training involve how the body responds to ONE bout of exercise (can even get the results up to 72 hours later)-controls environmental factors such as temp, humidity, light and noise-account for diurnal cycles, menstrual cycles, and sleep patterns-use ergometers to measure physical work in standardized conditions-match the mode of testing to the type of activity the subject usually performs (ex. swimmers aren't going to have to do running protocol)

Training to mark how the body responds over time to the stress of repeated exercise bouts (one study was after 9 mo.s of training)-effects of training on the variables examined-effects of disuse/unloading-effects of aging

FIIDDPPSHFrequency, Intensity, Individuality, Duration, Disuse, Progressive Overload, Periodization, Specificity, Hard/easy

Number at exercise sessions conducted in a set amount of time (week, month, etc.) Standard 3x a week

How hard each exercise session is performed

How long each sessions is performed

Consider the specific needs and abilities of the individual

Stress the physiological systems critical for the specific sport

Include a program to maintain fitness

Increase the training stimulus as the body adapts (check weight lifted every 2 weeks, then evaluate and see if more weight should be added)

Alternate high-intensity with low-intensity workouts
