Basic Principals of Conditioning Flashcards
Define overload
repeated stress to a level beyond a system is use to.
What 4 variable define overload?
Frequency: How often
Intensity: Degree of stress
Time: Duration of stress
Type: Mode
In general gains in muscle str and End require a minimum of how many days/wk
2-3
If an individual is frail or has fibromiligia or arthritis, How would one adjust the training parameters?
Decrease duration but increase frq
Why is a str rep scheme more likely to induce flare ups or increase the risk of injury as opssosed to a end rep scheme?
str rep scheme is 3-7 reps while this may be a lower rep scheme we are dealing with higher intensities
Apart from 1RM method how else can exercise load be determined?
A load which cause a slight burn or local muscular fatigue within that given rep range.
or 10RM methode ( 75% or 1RM)
How would the load/reps scheme be set for an individual with stroke? WHY?
Load: Mod- low
reps: Mod- High
- > isometric contractionf >6s can cause a marked increase in BP
Low loads should be recommended for people with ??
- jnt instability
weaknes
muscle spams
At risk of High BP
Can the overload principal be applied to all populations?
No. It may not be apporpriate for people with progressive condiiotions, joint instability, chronic pain with mvnt, or at the likely hood of developing disabling fatigue with intense training (CFS) -> They should train at a submax load
Arthritis. What are the following sets/rep/loads for the following situations:
a. If a joint is affected but not painful.
b. If a jnt is slightly sowellen + mildly painful
c. If the joint is hot, swollen and painful
a 10-15res x 3 sets with a low load
b. cut reps in half
c. avoid strengthening exercise but do ROM exercises
- > reps depend on how painful it is
Whats the Rest time inb/t sets for str & the one to stress the metabolic systems of the muscles?
2-4mins
30-60s
What Is the work to rest ratio for Muscular endurance
1:1 - 1:2
What is the work to rest ratio
It’s a system that compares the time it takes to complete a set of reps to the res period
What is the work to rest ratio for strength
1-6 - 1-12
For conditions involving fatigue, pain, and muscle weakness, which W:R ratio
1:6 to 1:12
Stretching is more important for participants with_____/_____ for which reasons?
Limited movements/ Immobilized Joints Reason: Prevent a decrease in or to maintian ROM Prevent Muscle Atrophy Decrease and/or control specificity
What are the modification for stretching in terms of fr, int, and Duration for people with pain, arth etc…
Increase fr with contractures, spasticity and arthritis
INT: Low load with spasticity
DUR: Longer with spacticity
General recommendations for stretching parameters. (Int,fr, DUR)
FR: 3x/wk May gradually increase INT: Subjective Sensation of tension 3-5 reps DUR: 6s-12s for warm up 10s-30s (or more) for flexibility
