It is a 💡regular planned physical exertion aimed to achieve optimum cardio-vascular health
Exercise
2 Types of Excersies
Aerobic Exercise
Anaerobic Exercise
▪ Physical activity that primarily stimulates 💡mitochondrial oxidative metabolism
▪ Involves 💡repetitive movement of large muscle group that does not result in progressive blood-stream lactic accumulation
▪ Examples:
o Low to moderate - intensity walking,
Cycling, Circuit weight training, Swimming, Jogging
AEROBIC EXERCISE
▪ Activities resulting in accumulation of 💡lactic acid that is produced when blood flow in inadequate
▪ Caused by muscle 💡non-oxidative glycogenolytic
▪ Examples
o 💡High intensity dynamic exercise
Strength weight training, High intensity isometric
ANAEROBIC EXERCISE
GOALS OF EXCERCISE
▪ Strength ▪ Endurance and cardiovascular fitness ▪ Mobility and flexibility ▪ Stability ▪ Relaxation ▪ Coordination, balance and functional skills
The ability of the muscle group to produce 💡tension and resulting 💡force during a maximal effort, either to dynamically or statically, in relation to the demands placed upon it.
STRENGTH
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE STRENGTH OF A NORMAL MUSCLE
▪ Cross sectional size of the muscle ▪ Length tension relationship ▪ Recruitment of motor units ▪ Type of muscle contraction ▪ Fiber type distribution ▪ Energy stores and blood supply ▪ Speed of contraction ▪ Motivation of the patient
Types of Endurance
Muscular Endurance
General (Total) Body Endurance
Ability of the 💡muscle to contract
repeatedly or 💡generate tension, 💡sustain that tension and resist fatigue over a prolonged period.
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
o Ability of the individual to 💡sustain low intensity exercise such as walking, jogging, or climbing over an extended
period.
o Also called 💡aerobic exercise or
💡conditioning is performed to enhance the 💡cardiovascular or pulmonary fitness of an individual.
GENERAL (TOTAL) BODY ENDURANCE
Stamina
o Ability of the person to 💡move its joints
MOBILITY
o A person’s flexibility refers to the ability of your joints to 💡move through a full range of motion. o Flexibility exercises help stretch muscles, protect against injury and allow the maximum range of motion for joints.
FLEXIBILITY
▪ Refers to the 💡synergistic coordination of the neuromuscular system to provide a stable base or superimposed functional movements or activities.
▪ More required in more proximal structures for effective positioning and motion of the arms and hands or legs and feet.
STABILITY
▪ Conscious effort to 💡relieve tension in the muscle.
▪ After an active contraction of skeletal muscle, a reflex relaxation occurs. The stronger the contraction the greater the subsequent relaxation (Sherrington’s law of reciprocal innervation)
▪ Conscious thought can also affect tension in muscle.
RELAXATION
It is the ability to use 💡right muscles at the 💡right time with appropriate sequencing and intensity.
COORDINATION
o Ability to 💡maintain the center of
gravity over the base of support
usually while in an upright position.
BALANCE
To the varied 💡motor skills necessary
to function independently in all aspects of daily living
FUNCTIONAL SKILLS
Benefits of exercise
Lose weight
Reduce stress
Relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety
Reduce your risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer
Boost your mood

PARTS OF A PROPER EXERCISE PROGRAM
Warm up
Stretching/Muscle Conditioning
Exercise Proper
Cool Down
▪ Should be done for 💡5 to 10 minutes to avoid injury and 💡prepare the muscles for vigorous exercise
o Raise the heart rate 💡10 to 15 beats per minute
o 💡Increase the blood flow to large muscle groups of the legs and arm
WARMUP
▪ Should be done for 💡10 to 20 minutes to achieve 💡agility and 💡avoid stiffening of joints.
▪ 💡Stretch the muscles to be used during exercise
STRETCHING/MUSCLE CONDITIONING
Engagement should be at least 💡30 minute
EXERCISE PROPER
▪ Should be done for 💡5-10 minutes
▪ It will allow blood (pooled around actively moving muscles) to 💡recirculate adequately to
the vital organs of the body like the brain.
COOL DOWN
Changes that may occur in muscle during recovery:
o Energy stores are replenished
o Lactic acid is removed from the skeletal muscle and blood in approximately 1 hour after exercise
o Oxygen stores are replenished
o Glycogen is replaced over several days.
