What is the appropriate intensity for novice to intermediate exercisers to improve strength as described by FITT-VP?
60-70%
What is the appropriate intensity for Experienced exercisers to improve strength as described by FITT-VP?
Gradually increases to > 80%
1 RM
What is the appropriate intensity for older individuals beginning exercise to improve strength as described by FITT-VP?
40-50%
1 RM
What is the appropriate intensity for sedentary individuals beginning a resistance exercise program as described by FITT-VP?
40-50%
1 RM
According to FITT-VP, what intensity is best for improving endurance?
< 50%
1 RM
According to FITT-VP, what intensity is best for older adults who want to improve power?
20-50%
1 RM
How many reps are recommended for improving strength in those who are middle-aged and older starting a resistance program?
10-15
What are the effects of Valsalva maneuver on intrathoracic pressure, HR, return of blood to the heart, venous pressure, and cardiac workload?
- Increases intrathoracic pressure
- Slows HR
- Decreases return of blood to the heart
- increases venous pressure
- increases cardiac workload
When does the most rapid recovery occur after exercise?
Within the first minute
When can DOMS begin?
12-24 hours after vigorous exercise
Peaks at 24-48 hrs after exercise
How long can muscle tenderness and stiffness caused by DOMS last?
5-7 days
Does OKC or CKC exercises prepare a patient for functional WB activities?
CKC
What is ventilation?
Volume of air breathed each minute.
How do you calculate minute ventilation?
RR x Tidal volume
(true/false) Exercise can reverse any damage to pulmonary tissue
False
At altitudes of >6,000 ft, there can be a (increase/decrease) in performance with aerobic activities.
decrease
Why at altitudes of >6,000 ft (1,829 m) is there a decrease in aerobic activity performance?
PPO2 is reduced resulting in poor oxygenation of hemoglobin
Hypoxia at altitude can result in immediate compensatory hyperventilation and increased HR
–> Hyperventilation = decreased CO2 = increase in alkaline body fluids
How long does it take to acclimate to altitude starting at 7,545 ft (2,300 m)?
–> How much additional time is added when altitude increases by 1,968 ft (600m)?
a. 2 weeks
b. 1 week for every additional 600 m
What happens to plasma volume and total red blood cell count with increasing altitude?
Plasma Volume: Decreased
Total RBC count: Increased –> increased hemoglobin = improved oxygenation
VO2 max (increases/decreases) starting at 1,500 m.
decreases - continues to decrease by 2% for every 300 m increase.
Bottom line: decreased endurance performance
(true/False) training at altitude provides improvement in performance at sea level.
FALSE
(true/false) Dehydration is common when training in altitude.
True - air is dry and cool
Heat (increases/decreases) GTO sensitivity.
increases
When improving stability, those with hyperkinetic movement disorders should start with (small/large) range movements.
Large range
progress to small range and then holding steady
