CHW Midterm 4

• one’s level of strength, either generally to a muscle region or specifically to an individual muscle.
• Includes:
• -muscular strength
• -muscular endurance
• -muscular power
• -elastic strength

• the muscle force exerted by muscles to overcome a resistance
• ex: the ability to move a heavy weight a limited number of times

• the ability to sustain forces repeatedly or to generate forces over a period of time
• ex: the ability to repeatedly move a lighter weight

• the work produced per unit of time or the product of strength and speed
• ex: the ability to move the heaviest weight possible

muscles ability to exert forces quickly and to overcome resistance with a high speed of muscle action

the ability to move a joint or series of joints through their full range of motion, pain free and unrestricted

the percentage of body fat versus the percentage of lean body mass

• BMI measured by
• Calipers
• Volumetrics (underwater weighing)
• Biodex
• BMI Equation
• --(Weight (lbs))/〖Height (in)〗^2 × 703   OR    (Weight (kg))/〖Height (m)〗^2 

• individual becomes aware of and makes choices towards a more successful existence
• --multidimensional concept of balance (work, play & rest), nutrition, physical, psychological, intellectual, spiritual, self, environment & culture
• --Suited for persons to promote personal growth & well being

• Aerobic: 30 minutes mod intensity 5/wk OR vigorous aerobic 20 min 3/wk
• --Moderate activity =  (3-6 METS)
• --Vigorous activity = jogging (>6 METS
• Muscle Strengthening: Activities that increase muscle strength or endurance 2/wk
• 8-10 exercises that utilize major muscle groups 
• Resistance to allow 8-12 repetitions of exercises  

• Aerobic: mod intensity 30 min 5/wk
• OR 20 min vigorous 3/wk
• -Moderate Activity = on a 10 point: 5-6
• -Vigorous Activity = 7-8
• Muscle Strengthening: Activities that increase muscle strength or endurance 2/wk
• •8-10 exercises that utilize major muscle groups
• •Resistance to allow 10-15 repetitions of exercises

The ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. One MET is defined as 1 kcal/kg/hour and is roughly equivalent to the energy cost of sitting quietly
