Posted on 01. Mar, 2011 by Becky in Work Your Body

Okay, Zumba-kiddos–here is your official review for Thursday’s midterm–and it’s only going to be available online TODAY–so make sure you leave a comment on this blog post–it will count for your attendance for today’s class. Okey-dokey?

Great, so let’s get started. I will tell you what specifically you need to know from your study guide to prepare for the midterm. Don’t forget to bring your study guide on Thursday–you will be able to use it on the test.

The test format is as follows: 29 T/F questions, 11 Multiple Choice and 10 Matching. The following list coordinates with your study guide and will tell you which questions to review.

Chapter 1:

1. Be able to recognize, name, and define the five basic elements of physical fitness.
1c. Be able to define the term “muscular strength”.
2. Know that the definition of “aerobic” is “promoting the supply and use of oxygen.”
6. Know when your resting heart rate should be taken.
7. Know that unusual stress and illness can elevate your resting heart rate.

Chapter 2:

1b. Be able to recognize a list of Internal Resources, including: hereditary and environmental influences, positive and negative life experiences, wants, needs, priorities, goals, strengths, talents, interests, weaknesses, risk factors, poor choices, beliefs, truths, rules you follow, attitudes, emotions, actions, & behaviors.

2. Know that internal resources affect your motivation through:

images, sounds, tastes, and smells

body sensations

Chapter 3

3. Know each of the following injuries and their causes:

Blisters caused by friction
Bunions caused by joint inflammation

5. Know that you should undertake a new exercise program cautiously, increasing the frequency, intensity and duration gradually.

6. Know that if you stopped working out, you would lose half you fitness gains in 5 weeks of inactivity, and all of your fitness gains in 10 weeks of inactivity.

Chapter 4:

1. Know that in a balanced static posture, your shoulders are pulled back and down in a relaxed position.

3. Be able to describe the correct carrying stance.

5. Know that developing strong, yet relaxed muscles and flexible joints is important in developing and maintaining good posture.

Chapter 5:

2. Know that specific fitness testing is only appropriate after obtaining a medical history.

4. Know that in submaximal testing your HR (heart rate) is tested to 150 bpm.

Chapter 6

1. Know that the purpose of warming up is to:

raise the body’s core temperature slightly
initiate muscular movements
prepare you for more strenuous moves to come

2. Know that a warm-up should include medium to low level, range of motion type movements.

3. Know that static stretching should be done following the initial warm-up exercises when the muscles, tendons, and joints are loose and pliable.

4. Know that static stretching should encompass all muscles from head to toe.

5. Know that a static stretch should be held 15 seconds.

6. Know that breathing should be focused on during stretching and strengthening exercises.

4. Know that the word “diet” means “total intake of food and drink”

5. Know that the minimum recommendation for daily exercise for all Americans is 30 minutes a day.

6. Be familiar with the following information regarding key recommendations:
