200-300 mins
26
At what intensity should a deconditioned individual with METS begin at and progress to? And how frequently?
They should begin at a low intensity and gradually progress to moderate levels such as 40-75% of VO2 reserve or an RPE of 9-13. They should begin with a frequency of 3-5 times a week.
27
What are the general guidelines for asthmatic clients?
- to have asthma medication at all times - to drink plenty of fluids before, during and after exercise to prevent dehydration - avoid asthma triggers - utilize prolonged warm ups/cool downs - gradually increase intensity - constantly observe for early asthma attack symptoms - exercise in mid-late morning
28
In the case of breast cancer, what does walking 3-5 hours per week show to decrease the risk of?
a relapse by 50%
29
What is the goal of exercise in the treatment of cancer? (5)
- maintain and improve cardiovascular conditioning - prevent musculoskeletal deterioration - reduce symptoms such as nausea/fatigue - improve mental health - improve overall quality of life
30
What will patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation potentially be more susceptible to and what does that mean exercise wise?
They are more susceptible to anaemia and will require a reduced exercise intensity
31
What should a training protocol for a cancer patient center around?
The protocol should center on aerobic activities, light strength training and stretching as well as recreational activities.
32
What should resistance training with a cancer patient look like?
You should utilize light weights with 10-15 reps.
33
What should resistance training with a breast cancer patient that has undergone axillary lymph node removal look like?
They should perform 10 reps initially and any arm exercises should be swapped for other body parts to allow for recovery.
34
What intensity should cancer patients start at?
Light to moderate or 9-13 on the 6-20 RPE scale.
35
What duration should cancer patients start at?
They should start with 3-5 min intervals with frequent rest breaks and progress to 10 min intermittent bouts and then to 30-40 mins of accumulated exercise.
36
Resistance training is an important component to preventing osteoporosis, what intensity should clients perform?
A higher-intensity strength training regime with 8 rep max will derive the most benefit to bones.
37
What movements may some osteoporotic clients need to avoid?
- spinal flexion, crunches and rowing machines - jumping and high-impact aerobics - trampolines and step aerobics - abducting/adducting legs against resistance - pulling on the neck with hands behind head
38
What frequency, intensity, duration should arthritis clients focus on?
Frequency should be 3-5 times a week whereas they should focus on increasing duration rather than intensity. A short duration of 3-10 mins starting at 9-13 RPE gradually progressing to 30 mins at 11-15.
39
Strength training with clients who have arthritis should focus on?
increasing reps rather than weight, from 2-3 reps to 10-12.
40
Why might arthritic clients benefit from isometric exercises?
because they strengthen the joint structure but put less stress on the joint itself
41
What guidelines should clients with a hip replacement follow?
- lift the knee no higher than hip level or 90 degree flexion - keep toes straight ahead, no 'pigeon' or 'duck' toes - no adduction past midline - focus on leg/hip abduction, lateral movements and strengthening
42
what are common symptoms of fibromyalgia?
``` aches and pains similar to flu like exhaustion multiple tender points stiffness decreased exercise endurance fatigue muscle spasms paresthesis / tingling ```
43
What type of exercise is best recommended for those with fibromyalgia?
Aerobic exercise, warm-water exercises and low-impact exercises at low-moderate intensities
44
What should the intensity, duration and frequency of exercise be for those with fibromyalgia?
Intensity should be low-moderate at around an RPE of 9-13 for a goal of 150 mins per week through 3-5 regular activities a week.
45
What should the rest period be for those with chronic fatigue?
1:3 meaning you rest for every 3 minutes where you have exercised for 1
46
What mode, frequency, intensity and duration is recommended for those with chronic fatigue?
Activities of daily living, walking or low-impact exercises are recommended with low-intensity. They should begin with multiple 2-5 min exercise periods followed by 6-15 mins rest and gradually increase to 30 mins of total activity. Their frequency should be 3-5 days with adequate rest between.
