Define health according to the WHO definition.
A state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Name the three dimensions of health.
Physical health, mental health, and social health.
What is a health status indicator?
A measurable characteristic that reflects the health of an individual or population, used to assess health outcomes and trends.
Define a priority population group in health.
A group identified as having greater health needs or health inequalities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, refugees, people with disabilities, low-income earners, and rural/remote populations.
What are determinants of health?
The range of personal, social, economic and environmental factors that influence the health status of individuals and populations, including lifestyle, income, education, and access to services.
Define the biomedical model of health.
A model that views health as the absence of disease or physical defect, focusing on biological and pathological causes and medical interventions.
Define the social model of health.
A model that views health as determined by social, economic and environmental factors, emphasising prevention, health promotion and addressing root causes of ill-health.
List the five action areas of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion.
Build healthy public policy, create supportive environments, strengthen community action, develop personal skills, and reorient health services.
What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
A universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity by 2030, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015.
Which SDG is specifically focused on health?
SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
Define the ATP-CP energy system.
The phosphocreatine system that provides immediate energy for short, high-intensity efforts (0-10 seconds) through rapid resynthesis of ATP using creatine phosphate.
Define the glycolytic energy system.
The anaerobic system that provides energy for moderate-to-high-intensity efforts (10 seconds to 2 minutes) by breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing lactate as a byproduct.
Define the aerobic energy system.
The system that provides energy for low-to-moderate-intensity, long-duration efforts (over 2 minutes) using oxygen to break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
What does FITT stand for in training principles?
Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type of exercise.
Define progressive overload as a training principle.
Gradually increasing the demands placed on the body during exercise to continue improvements in fitness and performance.
Define aerobic training.
Training performed at low-to-moderate intensity with sufficient oxygen supply, sustained for extended periods to develop cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity.
Define anaerobic training.
Training performed at high intensity without sufficient oxygen supply, developing the ability to work and recover in anaerobic conditions.
Define resistance training.
Training that uses external resistance (weights, bands, body weight) to build muscular strength and endurance.
Define interval training.
A training method alternating periods of high-intensity effort with periods of lower-intensity recovery or rest.
Define flexibility training.
Training that improves the range of motion around joints through static or dynamic stretching exercises.
