Exercise Guidelines Flashcards
power is related to what 4 things?
Motor unit recruitment
Fiber type recruited
Muscle length
Endurance capacity
what is the goal of an exercise program?
for the person to undergo adaptive changes (changes in gene expression)
BP red flags during exercise
-If SBP fails to inc or drops below resting levels → STOP EXERCISE
-If DBP inc > 10 mmHg during session, stop and re-evaluate
BP should start to fall immediately after exercise stops and return to normal within ____ min
8-10
what RPE causes adaptive changes in most populations?
12-14
Angina/chest pain scale
- Mild, barely noticeable
- Moderate, bothersome
- Moderately severe, very uncomfortable
- Most severe or intense pain ever experienced → send to ED immediately
frequency of exercise for very deconditioned patients
more frequent sessions of shorter duration
LT goal for frequency
3-5 days/week
LT goal for time (duration)
1 x 30min
Typically, ___ and ___ are the FITT components most commonly changed
-duration (time) and intensity
-duration is usually first
For substantial health benefits, adults should do at least: (for aerobic exercise)
150 - 300 min (2.5 - 5 h) of moderate intensity per week
OR
150 min (2.5 h) of vigorous-intensity per week
OR
Equivalent combo of moderate and vigorous intensity
Adults should do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity that involves all major muscle groups on ___ days per week
