Testing and Evaluation Vocab

Body Composition: Submaximal aerobic exercise test: Palpation: Auscultation: Baroreceptors: Antecubital space: Maximal graded exercise test: Training heart-rate range: Physical working capacity: Hydrostatic weighing: Residual volume: Bioelectrical impedance: Body mass index (BMI): Anthropometric assessments: Waist-to-hip circumference ratio (WHR): Informed Consent: Hernia Fat free mass Angina Overweight: an upward deviation in body weight based on the subjects height. 20% or more above ideal weight Overfat: excess amount of body fat

Body Composition: the makeup of the body in terms of the relative percentage of fat free mass and body mass Submaximal aerobic exercise test: a cardiorespiratory fitness test designed so that the intensity does not exceed 85% of heart rate reserve or maximal oxygen uptake Palpation: the use of hands to detect anatomical structures Auscultation: using a stethoscope to listen to sounds of the body Baroreceptors: a sensory nerve ending that is stimulated by changes in pressure Antecubital space: space in the front part of the elbow Maximal graded exercise test: GXT: a treadmill or bike test that measures or estimates maximum aerobic capacity Training heart-rate range: target heart rate represented as a range of numbers Physical working capacity: the max amount of physical work that can be attained by an individual Hydrostatic weighing: an underwater test used to measure body fat and lean body mass % Residual volume: the volume of air left in the lungs after complete expiration

Bioelectrical impedance: method of determining body composition by measuring the body’s resistance to electrical flow Body mass index (BMI):relative measure of body height to body weight to determine obesity Anthropometric assessments: measurement and analysis of parts of the human body Waist-to-hip circumference ratio (WHR):measure for determining health risk due to the site of fat storage Informed Consent: voluntary acknowledgement of the purpose, procedures and specific risks Hernia: protrusion of abdominal wall into the groin area Fat free mass: part of the body composition that represents everything but fat Angina: chest pain Overweight: an upward deviation in body weight based on the subjects height. 20% or more above ideal weight Overfat: excess amount of body fat
