Science
of Fitness ·
Encompasses
skeletal, nervous, and muscular systems as well as general exercise
physiology, nutritional, and health fitness ·
Allowed
a non-programmable calculator and twelve 4x6 index cards ·
Timed
stations ranging from the subjects mentioned above as well as possible
diseases for the skeletal, nervous, and muscular systems. ·
Stations
will require process skills that may include observations, classification,
inferences, predictions, calculations, data analysis, variable analysis, and
conclusions ·
Points
will be awarded for correct answers, high score wins. Tiebreaker questions
will be used to break ties ·
Use
more than one drawing to identify skeletal muscles ·
Group
muscles together and how they fit into one another ·
Memorize
skeletal bones ·
Use
models (helps visualize bone placement and are usually used in bone
identification) ·
Know
locations of bones in reference to each other (use acronyms or word
association) ·
Study
the different areas of the Cerebral Cortex using a model or illustration ·
Know
types of joints and functions ·
Types
of fractures by sight ·
Nutrition ·
Know
new food pyramid ·
Know
recommended fat and calorie intake in a day Know
basic definitions such as a calorie ·
Exercise
Concepts ·
Know
the basics about the chemical reactions that occur in muscles during exercise · Know what muscles are affected by certain exercises · The machines in a weight room tell you what muscles are affected by specific exercises and is a good way to remember it ·
Know
the measurable components of physical fitness and body composition ·
The
types of methods of how it is assessed · Have resources for the students to study with even though they can’t use them for the competition ·

Formulas Stroke
volume (SV) =
milliliters of blood pumped per beat Heart
rate (HR) =
number of beats per minute Cardiac
output (CO) =
heart rate times stroke volume CO
= HR x SV Pulse
pressure (PP) =
the difference between systolic pressure (SP) and diastolic pressure (DP) PP
= SP – DP Mean
Arterial Pressure (MAP) (2 equations): Formula
1: MAP
= diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure Formula
2: MAP
= 2/3 diastolic pressure + 1/3 systolic pressure The
F.I.T.T. Principle Frequency
– number
of times per week that you are exercising. Intensity
– how
strenuous is the exercise or how much effort is required. Time
– how
many minutes per session does the exercise require. Type
or Mode of exercise –
kind of exercise as aerobic or strength training.

is osteoporosis and what are problems it can lead to? What
are risk factors that contribute to osteoporosis and how is it treated? Name

is the origin and insertion of the biceps brachii muscle? What bone does it How
does the body adapt to exercise acutely (in the short-run) compared to
chronically (in the long-run) [e.g., effects on cardiac output, systolic vs.
diastolic blood pressure, minute ventilation, and blood flow to various
tissues]? What
are the measurable components of physical fitness and body composition and
what are methods for assessing them? Tips
to Help Coach Science of Fitness: ·
Make
sure the students understand the material including the fundamentals ·
Test
them to help prepare them for the actual tournament ·
Having
more than one source available for information helps reinforce learning and
development a better understand of key concepts ·
Make
sure your students are studying all the areas of study that are be covered and
not focus on one aspect such as just knowing all the skeletal bones and
muscles Science
