Anatomy - the study of the structure and relationships between body parts
Physiology - the study of how body parts come together to function and keep you alive
Complementarity of Structure and Function - the basic idea that what a structure can do depends on its
specific form
What are the structural organization components of the human body (Smallest to largest)? - Atoms -->
Cells --> Tissues --> Organs --> Organ Systems --> The Body
Homeostasis - the ability to maintain stable internal conditions no matter what changes are happening
outside the body. The body is always trying to return to homeostasis through a variety of negative
feedback loops
What are vital signs (rest)? And their normal ranges? - Body Temperature (36.5-37.2 degrees), Paulse
Rate (60-100 bpm), Respiration rate (# of breaths per minute (12-16)) , blood pressure (not considered a
vial sign but often measured with the vitals (120/80)).
Sedentary physiology - the behaviour of the body in relation to little or no physical activity. Explores the
relationship between major health outcomes and sedentary behaviour.
Exercise Physiology - the study of the acute (immediate) responses to chronic (long-term) adaptations to
exercise
sleep - a condition of the body and mind which typically recurs for several hours every night in which
muscles are relaxed and consciousness is suspended and the nervous system is said to be relatively
inactive but... DREAMS AND REM AN.D MEMORY RETENTION.
, sedentary - a distinct class of behaviours using little physical movements and low energy expenditure
(<1.5 METs)
physical activity - body movement activities consisting of moderate to vigorous intensities
physically active - a person who meets the guidelines for physical activity
physical inactivity - the absence of physical activity/ the amount of time not engaged in physical activity
exercise - activity requiring effort to sustain and improve health and fitness *purposeful
Intensity - the rate at which the activity is being performed/magnitude of effort required/how hard a
person works to do the activity
metabolic equivalents (METs) - (1 MET = 1kcal/kg/hr) the ratio of a person's working metabolic rate
relative to their resting one
light intensity activity - involves all movements <3 METs and >1.5 METs (lifestyle embedded activities)
moderate intensity activity - activity that requires a moderate amount of effort and noticeably
accelerates heart rate, 3-6 METs
vigorous intensity activity - large amount of effort causes rapid breathing and a substantial increase in
heart rate >6 METs
Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines - to achieve health benefits 18-64 yo. should do a minimum of 150
minutes of MVPA and 2 days of muscle strengthening
FIIT formula - Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
SIIT Formula - Sedentary counterpart of FIIT: Sedentary behaviour frequency, interruptions, time, type
