Cardiac Output - ✔✔-The amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute.
The amount of blood put out by the left ventricle of the heart in one contraction is called the stroke
volume. The stroke volume and the heart rate determine this.
- typically about 5L/min at rest
- will be higher if physically fit (max of 40L/min)
- for unfit, 14-20L/min max
Stroke Volume - ✔✔-Refers to the volume of blood that is pumped by the heart with each contraction
- during PA, it will increase until intensity reaches ~50% of VO2 max, then HR will increase the cardiac
output
- for physically fit people, SV is likely to be higher and RHR likely to be lower
Blood Pressure - ✔✔-Refers to the pressure blood exerts on walls of blood vessels, and reflects
efficiency of blood flow through the CV system
- systolic: heart contracting
- diastolic: heart relaxing
120/80 is normal
144/94 max safe ranges
normal BP for healthy, active adult is 110/70
- during PA, systolic will rise slightly and diastolic will remain roughly the same
Heart Rate - ✔✔-number of heart beats/minute
- RHR average 60-80bpm
- higher RHR for women
- lower RHR with age

beginning of exercise

redistribution of blood to working muscles and heart
increased blood pressure
vasoconstriction to smooth muscles
vasodilation to skeletal muscles
Cardio Respiratory Response to Chronic Exercise - ✔✔-- decrease in RHR
- decrease in SV at rest
- improved circulation
- BP decrease by up to 10mmHg
- increased blood volume

Time Frame: 0-15s
By-Products: ADP, Cr + Pi (creatine + inorganic phosphate)
Activity Examples: 100m sprint, jumping, agility, weight lifting
Anaerobic (Lactic) Energy System - ✔✔-Fuels: CHO 'incomplete breakdown'
Time Frame: 15-120s
By-Products: lactic acid, 2 ATP/ mol CHO
Activity Examples: 200m (power), 800m (endurance), resistance training
Aerobic Energy System - ✔✔-Fuels: CHO, fats, protein (<5%) "complete breakdown"
Time Frame: 120s - several hours
By-Products: CO2, water, heat, 36 ATP/mol CHO (net)
Activity Examples: distance running, 1500m (power), marathon (endurance or capacity)
Most Valid and Direct measure of VO2 Max - ✔✔-For aerobic fitness the gold standard test is considered
to be a direct measurement of a client's maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max). This test is performed
in a lab where the actual amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide breathed in and out during maximal
exercise can be measured as it is breathed into a bag or tank. As this test directly measures the maximal
amount of oxygen used this is considered a very valid test to measure aerobic capacity.
Absolute VO2 Max - ✔✔-does not consider a person's weight
Relative VO2 Max - ✔✔-considers a person's weight
Muscular Strength - ✔✔-refers to the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximal
effort.
Muscular Endurance - ✔✔-the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force against
resistance
Muscular Power - ✔✔-the ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in
accelerating, jumping and throwing implement
Muscular Flexibility - ✔✔-refers to the absolute range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and
length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion.
Third Class Lever - ✔✔-The force is applied between the fulcrum and the load. Therefore the load lever
arm is always greater than the force lever arm. A classic example is a pair of tweezers or a diving board.
Mechanical Advantage = Less than 1
Most muscles in the human body are 3rd class levers and create rotation of the distal segment. With this
type of leverage the muscles would be acting concentrically, as long as the distal lever is free.
An example of this type of lever system is the biceps brachii acting concentrically on the forearm.
Sedentary Behaviour - ✔✔-refers to any waking activity characterized by an energy expenditure of =
1.5 METs
Physiological Response to Sedentary Behaviour - ✔✔-- increases the risk of certain cancers
- may contribute to anxiety and depression
- risk factor for some CV diseases
- more likely to develop CAD
- decrease in skeletal muscle mass
- high BP and increased cholesterol levels
Self Efficacy - ✔✔-involves and individual's expectations about their ability to engage in or execute a
specific behaviour
has been shown to influence the goals people set, ability to persist in the face of obstacles, and capacity
to cope with setbacks and stress
Social Cognitive Theory - ✔✔-actions, thoughts, and feelings related (directly) to self-efficacy - have an
impact
SELF EFFICACY IS CENTRAL THEME
past performance, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, physiological/affective states, behaviour,
cognitions, affect
*** people learn through experiences
*** considers behaviour change and maintenance to be a function of self efficacy and outcomes that
result (perceived benefits of performing the behaviour)
*** people build their beliefs based on learning through observation and experience
Recriprocal Determinism - ✔✔-a dynamic interaction between the individual, their environment, and
their behaviour (response to stimuli)
Key Factors of SCT - ✔✔-1) self efficacy: the belief one has the capability to perform the behaviour
resulting in the expected outcome
2) outcomes: the belief that performance of a behaviour will produce a specific outcome (or the
expected consequences/perceived benefits of a behaviour)
*1 and 2 are similar, yet different and must be aligned for behaviour change. the more specific the
behaviour, the stronger the relationship is
Self-Determination Theory - ✔✔-- focuses on the degree to which an individual's behaviour is selfmotivated and self-determined, and the processes through which an individual acquires the motivation
to initiate new behaviours and maintain them over time
- assumes that people are inherently motivated to seek out new challenges and eager to succeed
Amotivation - ✔✔-no intention or desire to engage in new behaviour
External Regulation - ✔✔-individual is motivated by external forces such as pressure from others
Introjected Regulation - ✔✔-individual takes on the behaviour without fully accepting it as their own
(eg; to prove they can)
Identified Regulation - ✔✔-individual consciously recognizes a goal as personally important
Integrated Regulation - ✔✔-goals are fully assimilated with self, so they are included in a person's selfevaluation and beliefs about personal needs
4 Sources of Self-Efficacy - ✔✔-1. mastery experience
2. vicarious experience
3. social persuasion
4. emotional state
Mastery Experience - ✔✔-successful experiences boost self-efficacy, while failures erode it
- most rebust source of self efficacy
Vicarious Experience - ✔✔-observing a peer succeed at a task can strengthen beliefs in one's own
abilities
Social Persuasion - ✔✔-credible communication and feedback can guide someone through a task or
motivate them to make their best effort
Emotional State - ✔✔-a positive mood can boost one's self efficacy, while anxiety can undermine it
- certain level of emotional stimulation can create an energizing feeling that can contribute to strong
performance
- reducing stress and lowering anxiety around specific tasks can also help
Trans-Theoretical Change Model - ✔✔-basic premise is that people change habitual behaviours slowly,
passing through a series of specific stages, each characterized by a particular pattern of psycho social
and behavioral changes
Pre-Contemplation - ✔✔-not ready to make a change
"my dad never exercised and he lived to be 100, so I can too"
"I've tried, but nothing works"
** i won't, i can't **
ackowledge + confirm autonomy + reframe
Contemplation - ✔✔-individual is planning to make a change in the next few months. while aware of the
benefits of change and increasingly dissatisfied with the results of not changing, they have not yet
resolved their ambivalence
"I really should exercise, but I never seem to get in gear"
** i may **
acknowledge + encourage further consideration
Preparation - ✔✔-individual decided to take action and is actively planning to do so in the immediate
future
motivators are defined and strong and the ambivalence has been addressed
"I've been planning to start walking in the mornings and I have holiday
