Cardiopulmonary endurance
The ability to perform repetitive, dynamic motor activites (that involve large mm groups) over a prolonged period of time and resist fatigue
Strength
The greatest measureable force that can be exerted by a mm or mm group to overcome resistance during a single maximum effort
Endurance
Ability of a mm to contract repeatedly against load/resistance, generate and sustain a contraction, and resist fatigue over a period of time
Power
Rate at which a mm contracts and produces a resultant force
- Force x distance / time
- work produced by a mm per unit of time
Mobility
ROM and function
ROM
Full motion possible, considering structure of the joint and integrity/flexibility of surrounding soft tissues
Flexibility
The ability to move a single joint or series of joints smoothly and easily through an unrestricted, pain-free ROM
- considers mm length, jt integrity, and extensibility of peri-articular structures
- dynamic or passive
Aerobic exercise training (AET)
Mode - warm up and cool down - frequency
- duration
AET Mode
Rhythmic, aerobic exercises that involve large mm groups
AET Warm up and cool down
5-15 min (less than 60% max HR) low intensity
- gradual increase in intensity for warm up
- gradual decrease in intensity for cool down
AET Frequency
Generally 3-5x/week
- older or decontitioned pts may benefit from 2x/wk
AET Intensity
60-90% max HR
- the higher th initial level of fitness = the greater amount of intensity needed to elicit change
AET Duration
Generally 20-30 min
- higher intensity = less time
- lower intensity = greater time and short, frequent bouts fro deconditioned pts
resistance training (RT)
Mode - warm up
RT mode
Manual or mechanical
- isotonic, isometric, isokinetic, eccentric
