Q

Basic Guidelines for Youth Training

A

Mode - walking, jogging, running, games, activities, sports, water activity, resistance training

Frequency - 5 to 7 days of the week

Intensity - Moderate to vigorous cardiorespiratory exercise training

Duration - 60 minutes per day (but not if outside!)

Movement assessment - Overhead squats; 10 push up (or as many as can be tolerated); Single leg stance (if tolerated, 3-5 per leg)

Flexibility - Follow the flexibility continuum for each phase of training

Resistance training - 1 to 2 sets of 8 to 12 reps at 40 to 70% on 2 to 3 days per week; Phase 1 of OPT model should be mastered before moving on ; Phases 2-5 should be reserved for mature adolescents on the basis of dynamic postural control and licensed physicians recommendation

Special considerations - Progression for the youth should be based on postural control and not on the amount of weight that can be used; make it fun

Q

Type 1 Diabetes

A

Typically diagnosed in children, teens, or young adults; specialized cells in the pancreas called beta cells stop producing insulin, causing blood sugar levels to rise, resulting in hyperglycemia - to control this the individual must inject insulin to compensate for what the pancreas cannot produce

Q

Valsalva maneuver

A

A maneuver in which a person tries to exhale forcibly with a closed glottis (wind pipe) so that no air exits through the mouth or nose as, for example, in lifting a heavy weight. The Valsalva maneuver impedes the return of venous blood to the heart.
