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

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

Q

Neural adaptations

A
  • Increased recruitment of motor units

- Increased rate and synchronization of firing - strength increases with no evidence of hypertrophy

Q

Hypertrophy

A
  • Increase in size of myofibrils
  • 4-8 weeks of high intensity training
  • Greatest gain with high-volume moderate resistance eccentric training

Q

Determinants (Parameters) of Resistance Exercise

A
  • Alignment and stabilization
  • Intensity
  • Volume
  • Exercise Order
  • Frequency
  • Duration
  • Rest Interval (recovery period)
  • Mode of exercise
  • Velocity of exercise
  • Integration of Function
19
Q

Alignment and Stabilization

A
  • Alignment: Direction of muscle fibers, line of pull
  • Stabilization (External): Hand on patient, stabilize proximal
  • Stabilization (Internal): Isometric contraction of Agonist group
20
Q

Intensity

A
  • The amount of resistance used
  • Should never cause pain
  • Submaxima: Early stages of healing, goal is for endurance, after immobilization
  • Maximal loading: Increase mm size and strength
21
Q

Volume

A
  • Total number of sets and reps
  • Reps: Goal is strength or endurance
  • Sets: Single - early phases, Multiple - Advanced programs
22
Q

Exercise Order

A
  • Exercise large muscle groups before smaller groups, multijoint muscles before single joint muscles
  • Warm up before exercises, intensity is pt-specific
23
Q

Frequency

A
  • No optimal frequency
  • Low load can be performed daily, several times daily (HEP isometrics)
  • Higher loads require more recovery time, usually every other day
24
Q

Duration

A
  • 2-3 weeks for neural adaptation

- 6-12 weeks for hypertrophy and true strength gains

25
Q

Rest Interval (Recovery Period)

A
  • 2-3 minutes after moderate training
  • 4-5 minutes for high-intensity training
  • Active recovery more efficient than passive recovery; light ex better to reduce fatigue
26
Q

Mode of exercise

A
  • Isometric, Isotonic, Isokinetic, OKC, CKC, manual resistance, mechanical resistance, body weight, short arc, long arc
27
Q

Velocity of exercise

A
  • Increase in velocity eccentric contraction = increased force production
  • Increase in velocity concentric contraction = decreased force production
28
Q

Integration of function

A
  • Requires balance, strength and task-specific training
29
Q

Types of Resistance Exercise

A
  • Manual and Mechanical Resistance
  • Isometric Exercise (Static Exercise)
  • Dynamic Exercise (Concentric/Eccentric)
  • Dynamic Exercise (Constant/Variable resistance
  • Isokinetic Exercise
  • Open Chain and Closed Chain Exercise
30
Q

Manual/Mechanical Resistance

A
  • Manual: Resistance needs to be controlled; cannot be quantified
  • Mechanical: Can be quantified to varying degrees
31
Q

Isometric Exercises

A
  • Loss of static muscle strength from 8%/week to as much as 5%/day with immobilization
  • Three types of isometric exercises
  • Muscle Setting: Prevents atrophy
  • Stabilization: Increases strength and function
  • Multi-angle stabilization: Precursor to stabilization or functional activities
32
Q

Dynamic Exercise (Concentric/Eccentric)

A
  • Plyometrics
  • Picking up objects
  • Eccentric weakness associated with tendonopathies; also greater DOMS
33
Q

Dynamic Exercise (Constant/Variable)

A
  • Constant = free weights, pulley systems, machines

- Variable = manual resistance, elastic products, designed machines and isokinetic macthines

34
Q

Isokinetic Exercise

A
  • Used sparsely

- Later phases of rehab

35
Q

OKC/CKC

A
  • CKC = distal
  • Determined by task specific training
  • Effective in increasing strength and endurance
36
Q

Precautions for resistance exercise

A
  • Valsalva Maneuver
  • Substitute motions
  • Overtraining
  • Overwork
  • Exercise-induced muscle soreness
  • Pathologic fracture
37
Q

Valsalva Maneuver

A
  • Closing of the epiglottis

- Deep inspiration, increase in BP

38
Q

Overtraining

A
  • Decreased strength due to inadequate rest/recovery; reversible
39
Q

Overwork

A
  • Weakness
  • Decreased strength in nonprogressive neuromuscular diseases such as Guillan Barre or post polio
  • Requires longer recovery time
40
Q

Exercise-Induced Muscle soreness

A
  • NO known cause
  • Prevent with stretching
  • Treat with modalities (massage, light exercise)
  • Soreness may occur within 24-48 hours, subsides within 3-4 days, can last 10 days
41
Q

Pathologic fracture

A
  • Osteopenia or Osteoporosis
42
Q

Manual Resistance

A
  • Form of active resisted exercise where resistive force is applied by PT/PTA to either static or dynamic muscular contraction
  • Stabilize body parts; consider gravity
43
Q

Types of Resistance Training

A
  • PRE
  • Circuit Training
  • Plyometric training
