Test 3 Flashcards
Power
Strength over a distance in a specific amount of time
Endurance
Muscle’s Ability to perform repeated contracting or sustained contractions
PROM
Passive Range of Motion- can’t do alone
AAROM
Active assistant range of motion- can do with assistance
AROM
Active Range Of Motion- can do alone
RROM
Resistant Range Of Motion- can do against resistance
Developing a resistant exercise program:
- needs analysis
- exercise selection
- training frequency
- exercise order
- training load and reps
- volume
- rest Periods
3 questions for needs Analysis
- What activities does patient perform? Which muscles r needed? Which r weak?
- What type of muscle activation is needed? Isometric, concentric, eccentric?
- what needs to be developed (SEP)
Assessing muscular strength
- MMT (conc, ecc, isom)
- one rep max
- isokinetic
- Tensiometer
MMT advantages
Easiest most common
One rep max disadvantage
- difficult to measure w/ injury
Isokinetic disadvantage
Expensive
MMT chart
0) none- no visible palpable contraction, no motion
1) trace- visible and palpable contraction, no motion
2) poor- full ROM, gravity eliminated
3) fair- full ROM, against gravity
4) good- full ROM, against gravity, moderate resistance
5) normal- full ROM, against gravity, maximal resistance
How to tell wether person is just normally extremely weak?
Compare bilaterally
How to assess muscular power
- vertical jump
- long jump
- wingate test
- medicine ball toss
- isokinetic testing
Assessing muscular endurance
- push up
- sit up
- chin up
- flexed arm hang
- # reps at a fixed wt
Isometric
Contraction without change in length, helps with Neuromuscular control
Isotonic
Concentric- muscle shortens, Eccentric- muscle lengthening
Isokinetic
Same speed
What is the order of isotonic , metric, kinetic
Isometric, tonic, kinetic
In isometric, be careful with
CVD’s
Neuromuscular control
Body will respond to imposed demands
Which is better eccentric or concentric? Why?
Eccentrics produce 30% more force
Single vs. compound joint exercises
Single: Less sport specific
Compound: More sport specific
