07-05: Resistance Exercise for Impaired Muscle Performance Flashcards
1
Q
Three elements of muscle performance
A
- Strength
- Power
- Endurance
2
Q
Strength
A
- Force
- Force x Distance = Work
- Greatest measurable force that can be exerted by a single muscle to overcome resistance during a single maximum effort
- Withstands resistance of muscles
3
Q
Functional Strength
A
- Neuromuscular system’s ability to produce and control forces during functional activities
4
Q
Power
A
- Force x distance/time
- Work over time - can be brief or over extended periods of time
- Burst
5
Q
Endurance
A
- Repetitive or sustained activities over a prolonger period of time
- Walking, cycling, swimming
6
Q
Muscle Endurance
A
- Ability to contact repeatedly against load and resist against fatigue over an extended period of time
7
Q
Resistance Exercise
A
- Active exercise in which dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force (manual - PT/PTA - or mechanical - machine)
- Also resistance training
8
Q
Muscle types of resistance exercise
A
- Type 1 (Tonic): Slow twitch, postural muscles
- Type 2 (Phasic): Fast twitch, burst of energy, quick fatigue
9
Q
Overload Principle
A
- Muscle must be challenged to perform at a greater level than its usual
10
Q
SAID Principle
A
- Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand
- Extension of Wolff’s law
- Specificity of training: Anticipate function and incorporate into training
11
Q
Reversibility Principle
A
- Use it or lose it
- Gains in performace reduce 1-2 weeks following cessation of exercise
- Increases in performance must be incorporated into functional activities to maintain
12
Q
Skeletal muscle function and adaptation to resistance exercise
A
- Factors that influence tension generation: blood, fatigue
- Recovery from fatigue: 3-4 minutes
- S/S of fatigue: pain and cramping, tremors, jerky motions, incomplete ROM, substitutions, unable to finish movement
13
Q
Physiologic Adaptations to Resistance Exercise
A
- Depends on patient
- Neural adaptations
- Hypertrophy
- Hyperplasia
- Fiber type adaptations
14
Q
Neural adaptations
A
- Increased recruitment of motor units
- Increased rate and synchronization of firing - strength increases with no evidence of hypertrophy
15
Q
Hypertrophy
A
- Increase in size of myofibrils
- 4-8 weeks of high intensity training
- Greatest gain with high-volume moderate resistance eccentric training
16
Q
Hyperplasia
A
- Fiber splitting (Longitudinal sploit
- Increase number of muscle fibers
17
Q
Fiber Type Adaptation
A
- Type I (Tonic) to Type II (Phasic), as seen in SCI pts
- Primarily for movement: slow to fast
