Q

Exercise is Medicine Connection for Strength and Endurance

A

dynamic and isometric resistance training may have a beneficial effect on BP in normotensive and prehypertensive. Small reductions in BP of 3 mm Hg can reduce the risk of CVD, stoke, and all-cause mortality

Q

Principle of Progression

A

demands placed on the body must be continually and progressively increased over time to achieve long-term gains in muscular fitness
increase weight by 5-10% per week and decrease reps by 2-4 so proper form is maintained

Q

Principle of Specificity

A

adaptations to resistance training are specific to muscle actions, velocity of movement, exercise ROM, muscle groups trained, energy systems involved, and intensity and volume of training

25
isokinetic type of resistance training
dynamic muscle actions are performed at a constant angular limb velocity best results come from training at slow, intermediate, and fast velocities to get increased strength at all movement speeds
26
Plyometric mode of resistance training
enhances neuromuscular performance with quick, powerful movements that involve rapid stretch of muscle followed by rapid shortening of muscle- to maximize training adaptations, aim to shorten the time between concentric and eccentric muscle actions
27
plyometric training design
start with one set of 6 or 8 reps of lower-intensity drills and gradually progress to several sets of higher-intensity exercises over time perform more than 40 reps per session appears to be most beneficial
28
Order of exercise with resistance training
larger to smaller muscle groups, multiple joint before single joint exercises, heavier weight to be used on multiple joint exercises
29
Training sets should be performed to
muscle fatigue not exhaustion 6 RM has greatest effect on muscle strength 20 RM has greatest effect on muscle endurance
30
Training volume
ACSM recommends that apparently healthy individuals should train each muscle group to two to four sets to achieve muscular fitness goals
31
Rest intervals
to maximize strength- heavier weights and longer rest intervals to maximize endurance- lighter weights and shorter rest intervals
32
Flexibility definition
ROM of a joint or group of joints as per skeletal muscles and not any external forces
33
static flexibility
full ROM of a given joint because of external forces
34
dynamic flexibility
full ROM achieved by the voluntary use of skeletal muscle in combination with external forces
35
Muscle properties affecting flexibility
viscoelastic properties allow skeletal muscles to stretch through a process of creep and stress relaxation
36
Static flexibility
holding stretch for 15-30 seconds no more than 4 times
37
Ballistic flexibility
involves rapid and bouncing-like movements where the resulting momentum of the body or body segments is used to extend affected joint through full ROM NOT recommended anymore
38
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
combining passive stretch with isometric and concentric muscle actions designed to use autogenic and reciprocal inhibition reflexes of Golgi Tendon Organs- (allow muscle and tendon to elongate and achieve greater ROM)
39
Three techniques with PNF
hold-relax, contract-relax, hold-relax | passive pre-stretch, passive stretch, contractions
40
Dynamic flexibility
uses slow and controlled sport-specific movements that are designed to increase core temp and enhance activity-related flexibility and balance
41
Muscle spindle with regard to flexibility
collection of 3-10 intrafusal, specialized muscle fibers that are innervated by gamma motor neurons and provide information about the ROC in muscle length
42
When spindles are stimulated
there is a rapid tension development in stretched muscle and inhibited by the antagonist muscle
43
Golgi Tendon Organ in relation to flexibility
can provide a response to changes in the amount of tension and the rate of tension development tension development is inhibited in contracting muscle and initiated in the antagonist muscle
44
Flexibility Program Design
to improve flexibility, 2-3 sessions per week for 3-4 weeks may be needed 2-4 reps of each stretch held between 10-30 seconds with goal of holding 60 secs static stretching can be held at least 10 seconds PNF stretching should be 6 sec contraction with 10-30 sec assisted stretch
45
BMI formula
weight (kg)/ height (cm)^2
46

48
circumference points: abdomen, arm, butt, calf, forearm, hip/thigh, mid-thigh, waist
abdomen- horizontal measurement at largest anterior extension around umbilicus, arm- horizontal measurement midway between acromion and olecranon process, butt- feet together largest circumference of butt, calf- horizontal measurement of largest circumference between knee and ankle, forearm- perpendicular to long axis at largest circumference, hip- horizontal measurement at largest circumferences below butt, mid-thigh- knee at 90 midway between hip and patella, waist- narrowest part of torso
49
skinfold measurement assumes
⅓ of body fat is subcutaneously
50
skinfold measurment sites: abdomen, triceps, biceps, chest
abdomen: vertical fold 2 cm to right of umbilicus triceps: vertical fold halfway between acromion and olecranon biceps: vertical fold on belly of bicep 1 cm above tricep site chest: diagonal fold ½ for men and ⅓ for women between anterior axillary line and nipple
51
skinfold measurement sits: medial calf, midaxillary, subscapular, suprailliac, thigh
medial calf: vertical fold at max circumferences on midline of medial border midaxillary: vertical fold at midaxillary line of xiphoid process of sternim or horizontal fold at xiphoid/sternal border in the axillary line subscapular: diagonal fold 1-2 in between inferior angle of scapula suprailliac- diagonal fold in line with natural crest of illiac crest taken in the axillary line immediately superior to illiac crest thigh- vertical fold on the aneterior midline of the thigh, midway between proximal border or patella and inguinal crease
52

weight under water is directly proportional to volume of water displaced by body volume
53
Bodpod
air displacement plethysmography
54
DEXA
low current x ray to measure bone mineral content, body fat, and lean soft tissue mass
55
