Exam 2 Flashcards
specific guide provided to an individual for the performance of an exercise-training program
exercise prescription
what is the general purpose of exercise prescription? (3)
- enhance physical activity for daily life, recreation or competitive athletics
- primary/secondary disease prevention
- enjoyment, hobby, stress management
guidelines for adults
moderate for 30 min. 5 days a week
OR
vigorous for 20 min. per occasion
moderate = ____ kcal/min. or ___-___% HRR
3.5-7, 40-59%
vigorous = ____ kcal/min. or __-__% HRR
> 7, 60-84%
___ kcal/min = 1 MET
3.5 kcal/min.
guidelines for children
2:30 moderate
1:15 vigorous
equivalent combo [10 minute segments spread out during the week]
*strength training 2x a week
*recommend 5 hours moderate or 2 1/2 vigorous a week
guidelines for older adults
follow adult recommendations if possible
be physically active as possible
focus on maintain/improving balance
guidelines for weight management in adults
manage: 60 minutes of moderate-vigorous
lose: 60-90 minutes of moderate
components of an exercise program
- Warm up (5-10 min)
- Conditioning (20-60 min.)
- Cool-down (5-10 min.)
- Stretching (10 min.)
training effects resulting from an exercise program are specific to the exercise performed and to the muscles involved
specificity of training
principle that states that each workout should place a demand on the muscle or muscles that is greater than that in the previous workout
overload principle
a gradual increase in the amount of work performed in response to the adaptation of the body to the work to maintain overload (typically applied using the FITT principles)
progressive overload
inactivity results in a loss of exercise-training adaptations
reversibility
What is the FITT principle?
Frequency [how often] Intensity [how hard] Time [how long] Type [mode of exercise] *Volume [amount] *Progression [advancement]
cardiovascular endurance improvements are often measured how
maximal oxygen uptake [VO2 max]
- genetically limited
- may improve 5-30% with training
[FITT} Frequency for cardiovascular endurance improvement
5 days moderate OR 3 days vigorous OR combo
- short & high frequency better for the de-conditioned
- more than 5 days for athletes/weight loss
[FITT} Intensity for cardiovascular endurance improvement
moderate [40-59%] to vigorous [60-89%] for most; light [30-39%] for de-conditioned
- RPE: 12-16 on 6-20 scale
- 2-4 METs considered light; intense exercise can yield >12
[FITT} Time for cardiovascular endurance improvement
30-60min per day moderate
20-60 min per day vigorous
or combo per day
* intermittent exercise (changing it up) good for beginners
[FITT} Type for cardiovascular endurance improvement
large muscle groups, continuous rhythmic activity
- based on outcomes & enjoyment
caloric consumption of an individual while at complete rest; ratio of the rate of energy expended during an activity to the rate of energy expended at rest
1 MET ( = 3.5 ml/kg/min)
[FITT} Volume for cardiovascular endurance improvement
500-1000 MET-min/week
[FITT} Progression for cardiovascular endurance improvement
- depends on health status, age, goals, compliance
- increase frequency & duration before intensity
- increase duration 10-20% per week until goal
- post goal: increase 5-10% every 6th training session
Energy equivalence chart – serial seven
METS x 3.5 = Relative VO2 Relative VO2 x body weight kg = absolute VO2 (ml/min) absolute VO2 (ml/min) /1000 = absolute VO2 (L/min) absolute VO2 (L/min) x5 = kcal/min kcal/min x # of min. = total kcal total kcal / 3500 = lbs of fat
cm –> m ?
cm / 100 = meters
in –> cm ?
in x 2.54 = cm
kg/m/min –> watts ?
kg/m/min / 6 = watts
L –> mL ?
L x 1000 = mL
mph –> m/min ?
mph x 26.8 = m/min
lbs –> kg ?
lbs / 2.2 = kg
percent grade expressed in decimal format is referred to as

benefits of resistance training (5)
- improved performance
- functional indépendance
- decreased bone mineral loss
- lean body mass
- decrease in low back pain
[FITT} Frequency for resistance training
2-3 nonconsecutive days per week
[FITT} Intensity for resistance training
2-4 sets per muscle group
[FITT} Time for resistance training
none; programs longer than 1 hour are associated with lower compliance
[FITT} Type for resistance training
provide full ROM including agonists & antagonist muscle groups
[FITT} Volume for resistance training
2-4 sets at 8-12 reps/set (2-3 min apart)
older or de-conditioned: 1 or more sets 10-15 reps 60-70% 1RM
is heart rate a valid indicator for intensity ?
No!
[FITT} Frequency for flexibility
minimum: 2-3 days
preferred: 5-7 days
[FITT} intensity for flexibility
mild discomfort no further
[FITT} time for flexibility
10 minutes
static : 15-60 sec.
4 reps per muscle groups
[FITT} type for flexibility
involve all major muscles
ballistic & PNF no recommended for most exercise programs
classifying children vs. adults. what is the age cutoff?
children =
{Children vs. adults] absolute oxygen uptake
lower than adults
{Children vs. adults] relative oxygen uptake
higher than adults
