KINS 260 – Module 1 Review Worksheet

Respond to the following question/prompts in the space provided or on a separate sheet.

1) Describe the difference between Physical Activity and Exercise

2) List potential benefits and risks associated with exercise

3) What are the areas of Health-Related Physical Fitness (HRFP) and why is it important to assess these components?

4) Define informed consent and describe the elements that should be included in this process.

5) Describe the difference between relative and absolute contraindications for exercise and list a few from each category.

6) What are the positive risk factors for CVD (include the parameters, for example if you say “age” what age indicates risk)? What is the negative risk factor?

7) What are the signs and symptoms of cardiopulmonary disease?

8) Define validity and reliability. Why are these important to consider when choosing assessments?

Case Studies

These will provide practice applying CVD Risk Factor calculations and the ACSM preparticipation algorithm to determine risk factors and need for medical clearance prior to exercise. Be sure to pay close attention to the desired level of intensity as you consider the need for medical clearance. For each case study include a brief statement describing how you came to your conclusions. If you are still waiting on your texts these pages are included in the PDF of the reading found on the module reading page.
