EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION Flashcards
(65 cards)
a subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful movement in the sense that the improvement or maintenance of one or more components of physical fitness is the objective
exercise
4 main focus for therapeutic exercises
- remediate/prevent impairments of body functions and structures
- improve, restore, or enhance activities and participation/function
- prevent/reduce health related risk factors
- optimize overall health, fitness, or sense of well-being
therapeutic exercises are specifically designed to
the needs of each patient/client
definition of patient
individual with impairments and functional deficits diagnosed by PT/MD and receiving PT to improve function and prevent disability
definition of client
individual without diagnosed movement dysfunctions who engages in PT exercises
goal when treating a client
promote health and wellness and to prevent dysfunction
give at least 5 types of therapeutic exercises
- aerobic & endurance conditioning & reconditioning
- agility training
- balance training (static & dynamic)
- body mechanics training
- breathing exercises
- coordination exercises
- developmental activities training
- gait training
- motor training
- movement pattern training
- neuromotor developmental activities training
- stretching
- ROM exercises
- perceptual training
- neuromuscular education/re-education
- postural stabilization & training
- soft tissue stretching
- joint mob
- task-specific functional training
- muscle performance exercises (strength, endurance, and power)
systematic practice of using muscle force to raise, lower, or control heavy external loads for a relatively low number of reps or over a short period of time
strength training
most common adaptation for strength training
an increase in the max force-producing capacity of muscle d/t neural adaptations and increased mm fiber size
related to strength and speed of movement
power
can represent a single burst of high-intensity activity or repeated bursts of less intense activity
power
gained by either inc the work a muscle must perform during a specified period of time or reducing the amount of time required to produce/complete work
power training
how to increase muscle power
inc intensity, dec time
ability to perform repetitive or sustained activities over a prolonged period of time
endurance
associated c repetitive, dynamic motor acts such as walking
cardiopulmonary endurance
ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly agains an external load, generate and sustain tension, and resist fatigue over an extended period of time
endurance
systematic practice of using mm force to raise, lower, or control a light external load for many reps over an extended period of time
endurance training
4 principles of exercise training
- principle of individuality
- said principle
- disuse/reversibility principle
- overload principle
in the principle of individuality, individual variations are caused by:
- genetic characteristics
- cellular growth rates
- metabolism
- neural regulation
- endocrine regulation
this aspect of the said principle suggests that the adaptive effects of training, such as improvement of strength, power, and endurance, are highly specific to the training method employed
specificity of training
refers to the carry over of training effects from one variation of exercise or task to another
transfer of training, overflow, or cross training effect
exercising a certain body part or component primarily develops that part
Said principle
meaning of SAID
specific adaptations to imposed demands
suggests that adaptive changes in the body’s systems in response to an exercise program are transient unless training induced improvements are regularly used for functional acts/unless an individual participates in a maintenance program of resistance exercises
disuse/reversibility principle/principle of reversibility
