AEROBIC EXERCISE P.217 Flashcards
What are the 2 things aerobic training can improve?
training that improves the efficiency of aerobic energy-producing systems and can improve cardioresp endurance
Cardiorespiratory endurance
ability of body to sustain prolonged exercise
Cardiovascular deconditioning
a decrease in the cardiovascular system’s ability to deliver sufficient oxygen and nutrients
Best indicator of effort
Heart rate or RPE
Cardio decondition = _______ fatigue
early
Are most individuals who are deconditioned with disabltiies physically inactive or active?
INACTIVE
majority of those disabled are also inactive
What are the benefits of aerobic conditioning for individuals with disabilities?
- improve cardiovascular health
- decreased risks of cardiovascular deconditioning due to being sedentary
- appropriate body composition
- maintaining functional capacity*
- maintaing independace*
- improved performance in para-sports (adapted sports)
- improved selfimage
- reduced risk of depression
- improved vocational productivity (more satisfying participation in community, social, recreational family activities
Reminder: to cross a light you need ____ m/s
0.6
Normal walking is _____m/s
1-1.2
220-age vs. karvonenian method
which should you use if you want exercise to be harder?
whch should you use if you want xercise to be easier?
220-age - easier
karvonenian - harder
(Research paper: treadmill on stroke)
Normally subacute recovery with therapy targets basic mobility and ________.
activity of daily living
But, patients are usually discharged without full recovery and told to just generally exercise. Therefore, plateau in locomotor recovery happens within ___ weeks post-stroke.
11 weeks
HRR (Karvonean method)
(220-age) - resting heart rate X training intensity + resting heart rate = target heart rate
(Research paper: treadmill on stroke): exercise training
Treadmill group TAEX: 3 40 min sessions/week at HRR 60-70%
Training started at low intensity of 50-60 for 10-20 min then increased by 5 min every 2 weeks and increased HRR by 5% every 2 weeks too
CONTROL GROUP: stretched and did treadmill 5 minutes at 30-40 HRR
(Research paper: treadmill on stroke): main findings
1) treadmill aerobic training improves both functional mobility (6min walk) and cardiovascular fitness (peak VO2). It is more effective than CONVENTIONAL rehabilitation
25 out of 29 of the stroke patients in this study had
hypertension
(Research paper: treadmill on stroke): After 3 months… what happened?
no plateau for 6 min walk or VO2 peak
?
Regression analysis showed no associations between increases in…
time and age had no effect!!!!
increase in VO2 peak, 6 min walk, age at entry, latency since stroke, initial VO2 peak, gait deficient severity
Those who walked LONGER had what improvements?
increased 6 min walk, no change in VO2 peak
Those who were FASTER had what improvements?
increase in VO2 peak, no change in 6 min
(Research paper: treadmill on stroke):
clinical implications
1) plateau in locomotor recovery within 11 weeks post stroke, no longer true
2) VO2 post stroke = 50% of age-matched sedentary healthy individuals. Increases in peak fitness = increase in ADLs performance
3) increase in walking speed = better at crossing street and potential to be more independant
4) age and time since injury and gait deficit severity did not predict improvement in VO2 or walking speed
The Circle of deconditioning with physical disability
Physical impairment or disability (paralysis due to TBI or SCI) =
FUNCITONAL LIMITATION (decreased jogging) –>
DECREASED EXERCISE TOLERANCE OR INABILITY TO EXERCISE (decreased sports) –>
PHYSICAL INACTIVITY (decreased ADLs) –>
DECONDITIONING –> MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS AND SECONDARY DISABILITIES (increased weight and increased hypokinetic diseases)
Functional ability framework from test 1
physical impairment -> functional limitation -> reduced ability/disability
Four differences in VO2 max between able bodied people and those with disability
people with disabilities have lower VO2 max depending on:
1) limited exercising muscle (2/3 of muscle mass form legs)
2) impairment in ANS regulation of cardiac and circulating functions (pooling of blood)
3) motor dysfunction (spasticity, athetosis)
4) pain or fatigue (indirect effects)
Function of the Autonomic Nervous System (which leads to both para and symp)
- Regulates the activity of internal organs and vasculature
- Circulation
- resp
- digestion
- metabolism (heart beat)
- body temp
What is the origin of the ANS signal?
brain stem
Which part of the nervous system activates
the heart?
Sympathetic nervous
system
• level T1 to T5

T1 to T5 controls what?
Controls : • heart rate
• cardiac output (?)
• strength of cardiac contraction
