Q

Benefits of Whey

A

Enhances hypertrophy, strength, and bone density when coupled with resistance training

43
Q

Why is casein slow release protein?

A

Casein exists in “micelle” which is water averse on the inside and water loving on the outside. This allows the slow release of amino acids into the blood stream

44
Q

BCAAs

A

Some studies show BCAAs May increase endurance by delaying the onset of CNS fatigue which contributes to increased energy availability

45
Q

Glutamine

A

A nonessential amino acid supplement, marketed to increase strength, speed recovery, decrease frequency of respiratory infections, and prevent overtraining

Research fails to prove any of these claims

46

59
Q

What are some physiological adaptations to Cardiorespiratory training within the muscular system?

A
  1. Increased size and number of mitochondria
  2. More capillaries around the recruited muscle fibers
  3. Hypertrophy (when the muscle fibers reach their capacity to generate force)
  4. Fast Twitch muscle fibers adapt by increasing the number of anaerobic enzymes
60
Q

What are some physiological adaptations to Cardiorespiratory training within the cardiovascular system?

A
  1. Increased size and strength of the heart (hypertrophy) as a response to the expansion of blood volume and greater need for cardiac output
  2. Larger stroke volume
  3. More effective oxygen delivery via vasodilation
61
Q

What are some physiological adaptations to cardiorespiratory training within the respiratory system?

A
  1. Increased ventilation of the alveoli
  2. Diaphragm, sternocleidomastoid, scalene, and serratus anterior become stronger and more fatigue resistant
  3. Stronger “breathing muscles” may lead to an increase in tidal volume which delivers more oxygen to the alveoli during high breathing frequencies
62
Q

Steady State Cardio

A 
Rate of oxygen uptake (VO2)
Heart Rate
Cardiac Output
Ventilation 
Blood lactate concentration 
Body temperature
ALL REACH A STEADY (elevated) STATE

Takes anywhere between 45 second to 3-4 minutes to achieve steady state

Exercise limitation is primarily limited by willingness, or availability of oxygen, muscle glycogen, and blood glucose

63
Q

Potential benefit to Interval Training?

A

Time-efficient

May promote greater improvements in VO2 Max and fitness than steady state

Anaerobic adaptations which improve the lactate threshold, thus enhancing an individuals ability to sustain higher intensities of exercise for longer

Provides an intensity great enough to cause the cardiovascular system to adapt by increasing stroke volume and end diastolic blood volume is also increased (chamber filling)

64
Q

US Dept and Health and Human Services Cardiorespiratory exercise recommendations

A
  • 150 min of moderate physical activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise, or a combination of both
  • Aerobic bouts should last at least 10 minutes and should be performed throughout the week
  • Participate in muscle strengthening activities at least twice per week
  • Children aged 6-17 should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity EVERY DAY, vigorous activity should be at least 3 days per week, and muscle/bone strengthening exercises a minimum of 3 days per week
65
Q

ACSM and AHA physical activity guidelines (FITT)

A 
•Moderate Intensity 40-60% 
= 5 times per week
OR
•Vigorous Intensity >60% 
= 3 times per week
OR a combination of both 3-5 times
66
Q

What are some methods for monitoring cardio

exercise intensity?

A
  • Heart Rate (HRR)
  • RPE
  • VO2 or metabolic equivalents (METs)
  • Caloric Expenditure
  • Talk Test/VT1
  • Blood Lactate and VT2
67
Q

OBLA (onset of blood lactate accumulation)

A

Commonly referred to the lactate threshold

When the blood lactate overwhelms the body’s ability to buffer it out (the body is no longer able to sustain physical activity, represented by HR flattening out despite increasing intensity. This is called the HRTP (heart rate turn point)

Blood Lactate risen above 4 mmol/L

68
Q

What is Cardiovascular Drift?

A

Cardiovascular drift, the progressive increase in heart rate and decrease in stroke volume that begins after approximately 10 min of prolonged moderate-intensity exercise, is associated with decreased maximal oxygen uptake, particularly during heat stress.

69
Q

Threshold Detection Zone 1

A

Low to moderate exercise

HR below VT1

70
Q

Threshold Detection Zone 2

A

Moderate to Vigorous Exercise

Between VT1 and VT2

71
Q

Threshold Detection Zone 3

A

Vigorous to very vigorous intensity

HR above VT2

72
Q

Calorie expenditure in regards to health

A

Less than or equal to 1,000 kcal/week burned will only result in improvements to health such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol

More than or equal to 2,000kcal/week burned will promote effective weight loss and significant improvements to overall fitness

73
Q

Recommendations for exercise duration and quantity

A

Mod-intensity at least 30 minutes per session for a minimum of 5 days per week for 150 minutes per week
OR
Vigorous-Intensity for 20-25 minutes per session, 3 times per week, 75 minutes per week
OR
Both mod & vigorous intensity 3-5 days per week

Obese people weight management:
50-60 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per day, 5-7 days per week =300 minutes per week
OR
150 minutes of vigorous activity 3 days per week (or a combo of both)

*Beginners will not be able to complete 30 min of moderate intensity exercise so they can accumulate their volume by exercising in 10 minute bouts

74
Q

Cardiovascular Exercise Progression

A

Incrementally increase duration of exercise by 10% per session
OR
5-10 minutes more every week or two
For the first 4-6 weeks of training

Once adherence is developed trainers can start manipulating exercise frequency, then intensity (remaining consistent with the clients goals)

75
Q

Fartlek Training 💩

A

“Speed Play” in Swedish

This training format provides a sequence of different intensity that stress both the aerobic and anaerobic systems by mimicking the changes in pace that occur in certain sports (soccer, football, lacrosse)

Fartlek running= intervals of slow jog and then sprints

76
Q

Water-Based Exercise

A

Reduces orthopedic loading
Trains different muscle groups

Good for older/obese population

Note: immersion in water causes blood to be redistributed to central circulation (away from the limbs). This can lead to breathlessness and heart failure in people with compromised circulatory function

77
Q

Mind-Body Exercises

A

Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates are not associated with high intensity aerobic activity however it’s intensity can be compared to walking

78
Q

Peripheral Vasodilation

A

When the blood is brought to the surface of the skin to be cooled

79
Q

Dangers of Exercise in Extreme Heat

A

Cooling the body becomes more difficult resulting in an elevated HR

Sweating results in fluid loss, which causes dehydration and blood volume declines

Heat exhaustion and Heat stroke are common while training in hot and humid environments

80
Q

How long does it take to acclimate to training in the heat?

A

Seven to Ten Days

81
Q

Exercising in the Cold

A

Hypothermia (excessive loss of body heat) also called frost bite

The cold can cause generalized vasoconstriction that can increase peripheral resistance and blood pressure. This poses a problem for people who are hypertensive or have heart disease

Heat loss accelerates when there is cold wind (wind chill)

Better to begin exercise going against the wind and finish the exercise with the wind at your back

82
Q

Exercising at Higher Altitudes

A

There is less pressure forcing oxygen into the blood so it’s harder for the body to deliver oxygen to the working muscle. HR increases

Signs of altitude sickness: shortness of breath, headache, lightheadedness, nausea

A good strategy is not to train the first night at altitude. Slowly allow body to adjust with a lower intensity progression

83
Q

What is the primary focus of Phase 1: Aerobic Base Training?

A

Getting clients who are either sedentary or have little Cardiorespiratory fitness to begin engaging in regular cardio exercise for the purpose of

  1. Improving Health
  2. Building Fitness
  • Build positive experiences and self-efficacy regarding cardio training
  • Build the habit of regular cardio exercise
  • Establish a base to make improvements in health, endurance, energy, mood, and caloric expenditure
84
Q

What is the focus of Phase 2 Aerobic Efficiency Training?

A

• Increasing the time of Cardiorespiratory exercise while introducing intervals to improve aerobic efficiency, fitness and health

85
Q

What is the focus of Phase 3 Anaerobic Endurance Training

A

Focused on helping the client enhance his or her aerobic efficiency to ensure completion of goal events, while building anaerobic endurance to achieve endurance Dash performance goals

Improved anaerobic endurance will help the client to perform physical work at or near VT2 for an extended period, which will result in improved endurance, speed, and power to meet primary performance goals

86
Q

Who is Phase 4 anaerobic power training appropriate for?

A

Cyclists, runners, kayakers, basketball, soccer…basically Athletes who need to have cardio respiratory endurance and the ability to sprint repeatedly

87
Q

What is the intention of Phase 4 anaerobic power training?

A

It is intended to increase the tolerance for the metabolic byproducts of high intensity exercise, including exercise performed at intensities greater than VO2 max

88
Q

What are the four considerations when training older clients?

A
  1. Avoiding cardiovascular risk
  2. Avoiding orthopedic risk
  3. The need to preserve muscle tissue
  4. The rate at which older individuals adapt to training (longer recovery time needed)
89
Q

What are the two considerations when training youth?

A
  1. Avoid overspecification and let them develop well-rounded motor skills and athleticism
  2. Avoid overtraining as it could lead to orthopedic trauma
