ACE Stuff Flashcards
Motivational Interviewing
- Using probing questions to find out more
- Listen actively and effectively
- Give your client educational information
- Maintain a friendly conversation
- Increasing self-confidence
- Encourage your client
TTM
- The stages of change
• Precontemplation: This is a person who is not even thinking about exercising. Very sedentary.
• Contemplation: This is a sedentary individual that is considering starting a workout routine as they begin to see the negative outcomes of being sedentary.
• Preparation: This is a person who works out sometimes and is physically and mentally preparing themselves to start a program.
• Action: This is a person who has been exercising regularly but for less than six months.
• Maintenance: This is somebody who has been exercising regularly for more than six months
Operant Conditioning
This is the process where one’s behaviors are impacted by their consequences.
Shaping
- Gradually increasing the demands for a behavior or a skill after positive reinforcement.
- The program is too easy = the client will get bored
- The program is too difficult = client will feel overwhelmed, inadequate and discouraged
Observational Learning
• Be conscious of the exercise and health behaviors of the people that surround your client. This directly impacts their success.
Cardio General Recommendations
5 days for moderate / 3 days for vigorous
30 - 60 min for moderate
20 - 60 min for vigorous
(<20 min for deconditioned can be beneficial)
Resistance Training General Recommendation
2-3 days per week
• Intermediate/novice: 60% to 70% of one rep maximum at a moderate/vigorous intensity
• Experienced clients: 80% or more of one rep maximum at vigorous to very vigorous intensities (for gaining strength)
• Sedentary/older clients: 40% to 50% of one rep maximum at a light/very light intensity (Good for beginning strength gains)
IFT Initial Process
• The first session
1. Measuring blood pressure, heart rate, weight, height (health risk appraisal)
• The first or second session
1. If necessary get medical clearance for exercise
2. Static posture
3. Flexibility
4. Movement screens
• The first week
1. Dynamic and static balance
2. Core function
• The second week
1. Assessments such as flexibility, aerobic capacity, body composition etc.
• The third week
1. Muscular endurance as well as muscular strength
Phase 3 - Anaerobic Endurance
Zone 1 (RPE 3-4) 80% Zone 2 (RPE 5) <10% Zone 3 (RPE 7-8) 10-20%
Phase 4 - Anaerobic Power
Zone 1 (RPE 3-4) 80% Zone 2 (RPE 5) <10% Zone 3 (RPE 9) 10-20%
Low Risk
- Asymptomatic
- Having less than two risk factors.
- A medical exam before vigorous to moderate exercise is not required
- An exercise test is not recommended
- It is not needed to receive a doctor’s supervision to start exercising
Moderate Risk
- Asymptomatic
- Having more than two risk factors
- Having a medical exam for moderate exercise is not required
- Having a medical exam for rigorous exercises IS required
- Performing an exercise test before is not recommended
- It is not required to receive Dr. supervision
High Risk
- Symptomatic or you know that they have metabolic, pulmonary, renal or CV disease.
- A medical exam before moderate/rigorous exercise IS required
- It is recommended to do an exercise test before a moderate/vigorous exercise
- It is recommended to receive Dr. supervision for both maximal as well as submaximal exercise
% of VO2 Max for intensity
Moderate: 40-60%
Vigorous: 60%
Resting Heart Rate Definitions
- Bradycardia: a slow heart rate that is less than 60 bpm
- Normal heart rate: between 60 in 100 bpm
- Tachycardia: A fast rate over 100 bpm
Resting Heart Rate Average
Overall averages are between 70 and 72 bpm
Males: between 60 and 70 bpm
Females between 72 and 80 bpm
1. Due to smaller heart chamber for women
2. Women have lower blood volume
3. Women have lower hemoglobin
