Unit 3 Flashcards
What type of people in a population do you need to make special considerations for?
Post/prenatal females
Disabled people
Older adults
Young adults and adolescence
Who is defined as an older adult?
Anyone over the age of 50
Why should you make special considerations for older adults?
Body slowly starts to decline after 50 this includes the skeletal, neural, muscular
system
What are the effects that can occur because of ageing
Aerobic endurance -
Our ability to achieve and maintain a higher heart rate as we age gets harder. the upper heart rate limit also lowers as we get older 
Balance and coordination-
Our ability to read and respond to situations as we get order which can affect balance
Flexibility/mobility
Ligaments and tendons tend to get stiffer as we age decreasing our flexibility and mobility range
Bone mineral density, BMD
Order, people could potentially have bone mass loss as the body is not able to regenerate tissue at the same rate, it once could
Muscle power
With older people, the body may degenerate its ability to produce synchronised, efficient recruitment of the motor units
Muscle strength
Loss of muscle, due to aging can result in loss of strength as well (sarcopenia)
What are ways to keep the older generation, healthy and safe?
Promote the benefit of resistance training
Bear potential issues with exercise in mind
Make exercises relatable
Be sensible in exercise order
Use non-complex exercises
Maintaining focus on technique
Challenging exercise, intensity, but don’t go too far
Longer and more gradual warmup and cool downs
Proper screening ahead of exercise
Why is proper screening important for older adults?
Must consider the potential injuries due to age, including osteo arthritis and balence related problems
Why is it important for longer and more gradual warmup, and cool downs for older people?
The cardiovascular, muscular, the joints require longer to get ready for exercise furthermore, the intensity of exercise programs must be gradually increased.
Why is it important to not overdo the intensity with older clients?
Consistent and frequent exercise is a better strategy, then over doing the intensity and making the client sore for several days
Most older adults work out for a better quality of life and health
Why is it important to keep technique in mind when working with older people?
If form is compromised, older people are at greater risk for injury
Why is it important to keep exercising simple with older clients?
Simplify the exercises to ensure success and gradually increase the difficulty

Why is it important to organise your exercise in a logical manner when dealing with order clients?
You want to minimise the added stress on older clients when working out for example-they may struggle with getting up and down on the mat so it’s better to organise the exercises to eliminate unnecessary stress, 
Why is it important to make the exercises relatable?
It’s important to build exercises that are going to relate to day-to-day challenges for example, getting stronger, going up and down the stairs
Why is it important to keep potential issues in mind when dealing with older clients? 
you want to aim to work within the clients abilities and celebrate even small successes
Why is it a good idea to promote resistance training to order people?
Promotes a decrease in the rate of sarcopenia (muscle loss)
Helps keep the Muscoloskeletal system, healthy
When should you stop a pregnant client exercising
dizziness
Nauseous
Faint
Faint bleeding
Contractions
Lower back pain unexplained 
Chest pain
High pulse rate
How should you introduce working out to a pregnant client?
Slowly build up to 15 minutes of continuous exercise, three times a week and this can be built up to 30 minutes 
What exercise should you say away from with pregnant clients? 
Anything with the risk of falling?
Anything with the risk of trauma to the midsection, for example rowing
Avoid exhaustion
No excersise in the supine position
How to moderate the level of intensity of a workout with a pregnant client

Heart rate can be problematic and unreliable during pregnancy
Instead, use the talk test and RPE
How long should a pregnant client work out for?
Maximum should be 45 minutes and it should be self paced by the client
It would be better to do shorter session several times a week to avoid exhaustion
How should you advise a pregnant client about calorie intake?
Don’t put a pregnant person on a diet-
Calorie intake has been enough to support the mother and the child
What to avoid with pregnant clients?
Prolonged standing
Contact sports
Heavyweights
Hi altitude
Overhead weights
Unstable movements
Hip abduction and adduction exercises
Prolonged isometrics
unstable exercises, 
Scuba-diving
Loaded forward flexion, stretching
Why are waterbase exercises are good for pregnant people?
Less concern for joints and balance issues that may be related to hormone and changing body dimensions which affect centre of gravity
What hormonal changes do you need to keep in mind for pregnant people?
There is an increase in the relaxing hormone, it travels all throughout the bloodstream and Reaches all
areas of the body which can lead to females overstretching while pregnant
What are the postural changes pregnant people experience?
The females centre of gravity shifts forward as the foetus grows this can result in backpain
When should a pregnant people return to exercise after giving birth?
6 to 8 weeks
If the woman had a C-section, it is recommended for 12 weeks
